Ok folks, back by popular demand!!:thumbsup:

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.;Sweet

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.:D

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.;Sweet

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!;Sweet
