If we get enough interest I am thinking of ways to reward things like best gas mileage (like everyone driver put 5 bucks in a hat and the person who goes the longest without having to refuel takes the purse), cleanest car after the drive (from my door to Mavericke's place it is exactly 12 hours of driving)......  here in a couple months I will start plaining the cruse out and setting up the main meeting place (gotta see how many want to avoid the toll roads)

I have put in for enough vacation for the meet.

If I can scrape up the money I will be there.  I might be sleeping in whatever vehicle I bring, but I plan on being there.

I like the idea Bill... cool incentive.

Thanks for posting the dates for me Brandon, I was certain I had posted them before I took my "leave" but I will double check it and update everything here soon once I catch my footing here and get caught up.

Will be plenty to do here at the Sanctuary this year. Nothing major planned besides the convoy to AMC thing. We may make a trip to Sonic for another good pic, but the rest of the time we'll be hanging out here at the Sanctuary and doing some clinic stuff, grilling out and watching the kiddos play.

Speaking of which... for anyone bringing their families or maybe hesitant to do so... please, feel free to bring the kiddos! Everyone is welcome here. Plenty of room to camp and hang out and best of all there is a TON for the kiddos to do. For the big kids, I have a small four wheeler and looking to borrow two more for the weekend. We have a HUGE swingset with built on club house for the kids, a 25ft pool (4 1/2ft deep), an 18ft trampoline with side walls and some sort of lights built it... it shoots lasers when you jump on it, lol! We have power wheels and lots of room to play. Also far back enough from the road so no worries there and besides - no one comes out here anyways. So again, plenty for the kids to do!

So again, I'll update things soon! Looking forward to the Meet!
