[ Yes I think a rally in the middle of the country would be a good thing. Lots of open areas where one could hold a good rally.]

See, this is where we have a problem. A rally in the middle of the country would be a 2000+ mile round trip for me. You are talking about 450.00 for fuel, 300.00 for motels and food and probably 100.00 for tolls. Thats a lot of dough for a little guy like me! Picture you guy's having to go to upstate NY. We are just to scattered to all get together in the same spot.

Oh I agree on that. I do the car show circut also, so I do understand about logistics. Actually a small regional get togethers might be the way to start. Then maybe work up to a big 3 day national get together. It would be great to meet some of you gentlemen and see your work in person as pictures generally can't really show all the hard work and care in putting together a MUTT or any vehicle.

Maybe when I when the multi millon dollar lottery I can foot the cost of putting on a good get together, ROFL.....................(my luck doesn't work thagt way)

Do we get free airplane rides?

If so can we jump out?

I still have my chute, I haven't used it in thirty years but it should hold. Whats a little mildew and age going to hurt?

Whats a few missing lines? got plenty of extras.

Now this is scary, at one time I knew the number of lines and folds, for the life of me I can not remember, total blank. Of coarse, at one time I was dumb enough to jump out of a perfectly good airplane! I have to run a 60 foot man lift next week and I am not even real comfortable with that. I guess a combination of geting smarter with age and knowing I do not bounce anymore!
