Florida winter Rally

Unread post by Lindsay36551 » March 3rd, 2015, 11:12 pm

Hey guys,
Well the Florida winter rally starts on Wednesday of next week and runs till Sunday.
What Im going to try to do is put something up every day so you all can follow along!
I know a lot of you wanted to come and be a part of this!
Im planning on doing a day to day from set up to tear down , in dispatch mode. I've contacted Mutguru to possible post pics every day. I know they will be a day late due to time zones.
If anyone else wants to help post pics for me please contact me via Email @ lorr.tcp@gmail.com
My daughter will also be doing a V-blog on you tube . I'm going to have to get more info from her where to see that.
Weather right now in Central Florida calls for temps 65-80 during the day with partly cloudy skys and 55 to 65 at night with no rain in site for a week and a half
Im looking forward to meeting a few of my G838 Family
Have fun watching and enjoy the pics and video clips! :D :D :D :D

For those of you going to the show please check out the body panels that we sent down. Maybe next year I'll attend! I'm sure my boss would consider it a business trip... :roll:

No safety fencing, I do have some razor wire.Will that work?
The year of the HORN should be good. I hear all the venor spaces are sold.
Took 2 hours to load the fire wood. I don't plan on taking any home so hopefully if any is left we can leave it there for next year.
