I am disappointed but at this point I will not be making it this year. between taking the red dually off the road and building the new one, and getting a house here in a month or so, I wont have the time or cash this year to do this trip.

Sorry to hear some of you won't be able to attend. I always put a high priority on going. Not sure why, as I'm sure there are other things I could be doing. I just have too much fun at these things to care about the other stuff.

I found a Dyno shop called, Brand x Performance Mobile Chassis Dyno. I was able to talk to the owner and he will drive to the Woodstock area, but he is 1 hour and 32 minutes away and he charges $80 per truck for 3 pulls. He also needs a minimum of 20 trucks to make the trip worth it, or he will need to charge more per truck.

The Woodstock fire department will be joining us as judges for the show n shine, they will also be bringing some old fire trucks to show as well.

Just signed up online at KOA.com for June 30 through July 5. Wife is looking forward to seeing Mt Washington. Elijah can you put trip to the Mt Washington on your list of events within those days?

Now that my list of prioities has changed to getting all the bolts tight on the truck to make the journey.

Thinking ahead to the changing of the seasons Im sure it will be different weather in the summer compaired to the snow plowing I did this morning.

That's exciting news. I won't have anything to dyno, but we will see if there is enough interest. Glad to hear the fire company will be helping out with the show and shine!

This is something i found on the hobo railroad website.

4th of July Family Party Train Friday evening, July 4, 2014 - 7:00pm Join us aboard the Hobo Railroad's annual 4th of July Family Party Train! We'll decorate the train in patriotic style and you'll enjoy hot dogs, chips, an ice cream treat and a cold Pepsi-branded beverage along with a party favor aboard the train. Family entertainment aboard the train will be provided by Hobo Buddy the Clown. This one hour and twenty minute excursion will take you along the banks of the Pemigewassett River through a natural, woodsy setting and then return to Hobo Junction in time for you to enjoy the popular Lincoln-Woodstock 4th of July Fireworks Display which kicks off at 9:30pm! By the way, the best place in town to watch the fireworks is from the Hobo Railroad's parking lot. So all you'll need to do is pull out your lawn chairs and relax for a great evening of family fun! Train Fare: $20 for ages 3 and up; ages 2 and under free. Advance tickets for the 4th of July Family Party Train are strongly recommended.
