Ok folks, back by popular demand!!
The much anticipated 2012 rally is offically afoot!
Indian Creek Camp and Conference Center will be hosting our event and the dates of this years event will be July 1-7 2012.
They are a smaller family run campground that is strategically located with all of the amenities and striking distance that our group needs to make the week happen sucessfully.
I can't begin to tell you how excited Rick and Lis are to have us there, especially when they heard we will be putting on a truck show and shine event on the 4th of July.
Speaking with Rick again today, he is looking forward to having us fill up over half of their campground.
As you can tell from their website they are a smaller campground right off of Ford Highway but don't let the size fool you.
They have full hokup, power/water, rustic tent and cabins available for our camping pleasure.
Spending Labor Day weekend camping at Indian Creek, Karen, the kids and I found a clean friendly atmosphere where even the seasonal residents would pull up a chair and strike up a conversation on a whim.
Ok so the music of Goldie rolling in after 9 pm caught the interest of a local resident staying the weekend wanting to see just what I had under the hood that sounded good.
Yup he was driving a Duramax and his boys are into diesels and said he just might have to show back up next year to see what we are all about.
This will be the official rally thread and will be updated on a regular basis as things develop.
So contact Rick or Lis and reserve you lot under Ron Butts or the Ford IDI truck group.
There is a group discount offered to use at $5.00/ day with groups of 10 lots or more so lets pack em in!
