My Dad and I will be staying in the oak ridge best western,looked like the best option to not have to fight city traffic every day.
As said before hotels are already filling up don't wait to find a room. |

I made reservations at The Oilleaker Inn. Room capacity: 2. Sorry, all booked up.
I hope the weather will be good. Here in the black Hills, it always rains that weekend. Oilly

So, I am posting a shout out to all members on all the upcoming tour threads, in the hope that I can get some help shifting oversized parts across the country.
I will be in Vancouver, Canada, and surrounding areas (including Banff, and possibly Calgary) from mid-June to early July 2017. This is an opportunity for me to collect a few oversized parts and bring them back to South Africa with me as hand-luggage, which has multiple benefits to me, mostly related to saving the costs of international shipping of bulky items and potential damage of items en route. However I need to get the parts to Vancouver in the first place. The items I am referring to are 1. A steering wheel, currently located with a forum member in WI, USA. 2. A set of top bow main bows, currently located with a forum member in NJ, USA If anyone from Vancouver/Calgary, or Seattle/Portland/Washington State area is attending any of the upcoming tours, and likewise anyone from WI or NJ, I'm hoping it will be possible to coordinate a hand-over these parts and get them ideally to Vancouver, or possibly Seattle or Calgary. I would be greatly indebted. I have 2 months to hatch a plan, failing which commercial shipping to Vancouver is my next best option. Please let me know if you are able and willing to assist. Best, Mike

Hello everybody, It finally stopped raining and the sun is out for a couple of days so me and the wife went out for a jeep ride to scout some new routes for the spring fling. we did find the snow was still down around 3300 feet but will be gone soon. I took a few pictures to get you excited so here they are.       |

I just would like to be here to greet you, especially any first timers so if you can give me a Idea what day and approx. time I will be sure and be here. I can PM my phone number and address to anyone that needs it also. Cant wait, see ya soon.

Hi Mike, it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to do your Willys event this year, life has a way of changing plans. The scenery looks great, maybe next year. I really dislike using that phrase (maybe next year).

Hi Mike
Dad and I are planning to be to your place Friday morning. If it's still ok we'll leave the jeep and trailer there and drive the pickup back and forth to the hotel. Looking forward to seeing everyone. |

Unfortunately it looks like old Murphy has bitten me in the butt. Just haven't got the motor started yet and some further maintenance issues have popped up. We will have to cancel for now!

Mike,
I'm planning on bringing the black beater jeep. It can stop in a straight line now and will be borrowing parts from the blue jeep. It's untested so I will also be bringing a tow rope!
