:hi2: I'm about 25 miles south of Raleigh, in Benson. If anyone would like to meet up in Raleigh, or somewhere thereabouts, and kick back a few beers sometime, I'm game.

Why don't we ALL get together? :gi: If by WNC folks you mean you don't want to come to the flatlands, I understand. My 63 will make it up yonder! If not my 03 Sierra is 4WD if'n it's snowing. I love GM trucks and anything to do with em and that would include meeting up with you'uns,

We've tried having a few meets without much success in attendance numbers. Those who did attend had a blast tho! I think we should pick a location and start planning a spring get together be it a day thing or a weekend event.

Micmac

Does anyone know a place? BigDaddyDave that Dan Nichols park outside of Salisbury is nice? I also think that place on the Blue Ridge Parkway that has crafts outside of Asheville might let us there. All we need is a BBQ and some GM trucks! I am for whatever gets the most participation. I am out Memorial Day because I am an officer in my local VFW Post. Usually the second weekend of the month I may have to teach all weekend if they call me. Hey it pays for my toys!

The mountains is a heck of a ride for me, but I'll try to make it happen if that's where everyone wants to meet.

Dan Nicholas park is a great place to have a meet. That's where we had the last one. They have shelters we can rent and plenty of activities for kids. They also let you fish out of the lake and there are quite a few local attractions nearby.

We'll get a shelter for sure! We need to decide on a date. I'll see when the office thingy you reserve them at is open again and swing by there to see what dates are available.

I'm in Point Harbor which is about as far east as you can get. Salisbury is about a 5 1/2 to 6 hour ride from here. I'd love to come though make sure and wake me up when you have a date. We are looking for a coming out party for "Jumpin Jimmy" he'll be ready as soon as I find that passenger side bench seat track.

Welcome David!


Ok guy's most the important event dates have been announced. Charlotte Auto Fair will be April 3rd-6th, Maggie Valley will be May 2nd-4th, and the national Board Meet will be July 11th-13th or close to that.

In the interest of not dying in the heat I'd like to see it sometime in April-May. We can rent #2 shelter hopefully which has plenty of parking spaces right in front of it unlike #1 last year that the parking was a little bit away. So I guess it's time to go see whats available and pick a date!

hambone1958

Just some FYI we will be in Bowling Green KY for the Buick GS Nationals May13th-17th. Hopefully the truck meet won't be the same week.

I'm leaning towards a mid April meet. I'll try to stop by Dan Nicholas this weekend or next and see whats available when!

Hi everyone!!! I'm not new to the boards, but it's been a long time since I've posted... and then I was still in NY. :)) Now me and the hubby live in Raleigh and we'd love to get together!!

Unfortunately, my SS is sitting in the driveway in desperate need of a new rear end, so if we do make it, it'll prolly be in the PT Cruiser. :( It's the only thing that's running, but we'll be there! :)

Hey guys, the shelters were going fast so I reserved #2 today. It's set for Saturday April 19th. Now let the fun begin of planning out food n all that fun stuff :)

There is a map of Dan Nicholas park @ http://dannicholaspark.net/viewparkmap.aspx #2 is near the entrance but also by a parking lot that should provide plenty of parking for everyone with minimal walking. And those that remember last years get together there this shelter is MUCH closer to the bathrooms!
