| Wow - its hard to believe it is August already- the summer is flying by. Anyway, back in February during our club meeting we had some events planned for August and September. I wanted to remind folks about the events and see if there is still interest in participating. For August: August 10-12th - Bantam Jeep Festival. This is about a 4 hour drive. August 18th- Big Dogs Offroad show in Richmond, VA August 23-26th - Ocean City Jeep Week. Mudslinger and I will definitely be attending this one! For September: Sepember 14th-16th - Big Dogs Offroad Jamboree in Winchester, VA. This one sounds like fun. We were talking to the gentleman that runs Big Dogs as the PA Jeep show and its sounds like the events are a lot of fun. They have cabins available for rent so we could always rent one for any members that want to attend. I will research this and let you know about prices. September 22nd- RC Rocs. I really would like to have members volunteer to judge at this event. It is a help to Rausch Creek. Please post up and let me know what if any events you can and would be willing to attend. Also, Jeepgurl had another great idea! She was thinking about an "end of summer" BBQ/Camping trip maybe on a Saturday to a close by state park (either Codorus or Muddy Run). Let us know if you would be interested!!! | |

| Not sure if I'll be able to make anything in Aug/Sep. I was talking to the Big Dogs guy (I think John Hunt) at Adams Jeep Jam. He told me his events run around $70 per vehicle. Link for September Main Jambo is below. Stated costs are $75 per truck plus $45 per person land use fee (this fee is paid directly to the campsite). I'm guessing cabins would be extra. Still not bad considering I'm paying about $400 for my son and myself to attend a JeepJamboreeUSA event that same weekend (plus additional costs for 2 nights local lodging). http://www.bigdogsoffroad.com/html/main_jambo.html | |

| i'm down and out for Bantam and Big Dogs this August, vacation till the 19th, i'll have to get back to y'all on the rest of them as the dates get closer but i will probably be out for OC week as well if Blackmagic is gone by then. September i will try to do RCrocs, sounds like fun, but i don't know about Winchester unless someone wants a co-pilot... | |

| Ok, this might sound like a dumb question (nobody ever said I was the brightest crayon in the box ) but for the Big Dogs Show on Aug. 18, would A/O have a vendor tent? It is $5 as a spectator fee but not to sure if there is a vendor fee, my computer is having issues downloading their link for vendor info but here is the website if anybody wants to check it out. www.bigdogsoffroad.comAnd I also looked into their other events (such as the Fall Crawl in October) and it is a prepay & pre-register $65 per vehicle and when you get there you pay a $35 ground fee use. Not sure though what their policy is if it is bad weather. It's pre-register because it is first come first serve because they only allow 12 vehicles per trail. Mike and I won't be around for Bantam (again ) we'll be in VA that weekend at a concert. We'll try and be there for Jeep week, pending husbands work schedule... YES, Camping Trip! Thinking either the beginning or end of September closing out the summer and WELCOMING FALL (because as you get to know me (and for those who already know) I... LOVE .....FALLLLLL! It's my favorite time of year and it makes me and and ) Sooo, ok, see what works with everybody's sched and throw out some dates and we'll pick a finalized date as it becomes closer and also the place. I know Codorus has paddle and pontoon boat rentals and I'm pretty sure it's bigger than Muddy Run. But either place is nice! here is a link to Codorus camping http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/staythenight/camping/index.htmand here is one for Muddy Run http://www.muddyrunpark.com/ | |

| For the Big Dogs Offroad show, I was not sure about having the A/O tent. I will look and see if I can find any information on vendors. As much as we would love to go, I am not sure we will be able to make Bantam either this year...too much other stuff going on. I will send a note to John at Big Dogs and ask him about weather/cancellation policy. My guess is they run in all kinds of weather...he mentioned at the show that they have gone in the snow before, so I think it is pretty much rain, shine, snow or whatever else. Codurus sounds awesome and I think the end of September would be a great time to do it!. Maybe the weekend after RC Rocs? October 6th is out because of the Tread Lightly class that some of our members will be attending. Can't wait for a CAMPING!! trip! | |

| Thanks Ciscoape! The registration form is available at www.oceancityjeepweek.com. Den and I and Slimer are heading down on Thursday night. We are staying at the Commander Hotel (I forget where Slimer is staying). I believe our room has a double sleep sofa so we could put a couple people up if needed. A few people mentioned possibly coming down Friday night or Saturday so we can definitely plan on meeting up together if folks want to come down. Call Den on his cell phone and let us know. We did not do a vendor tent this year. We want to go down first and see what it is all about. MOJO (Thompson Jeep) is one of the main sponsors so they will have a vendor booth. As far as the events schedule: we are planning to do the OCJW Show and Shine on Saturday 8/25 (held at Barrett's Jeep Dealership in Berlin) from 9-1pm and possibly the Eastern Shore Jeep Association obstacle course at the Pocomoke Fair Grounds (1-6) On Sunday we are planning to participate in the Eastern Jeep Shore Association Land Tour depending on what time we are scheduled to go on the tour. It should be a blast! | |
