Oh no!!! Dirt!!!
Truth is that I did run it through a touchless car wash on the way home to get the big dirt off after we dropped off the trailer.

I'm hoping to work on the video for this event today while I'm drying out the tent and gazebo.

Johhny, would you please pm your email address to me? I will make some still photos available for download on Google Drive. I have Mike's email already.

Everybody else; if you did not attend this event, you really missed out on a great weekend. I plan on doing it again next fall. However... we are going to move it to the New River Gorge area and might move it ahead or behind one week to avoid conflict with the Overland Expo East in Arrington, VA. Watch TRS Forums for details, especially early in 2026.

I'm working on uploading photos and video to imgr so I can share and download the photos to my computer. Most of mine are from the train ride, but I'll try to post them in a way that one can make sense of what they are seeing.

The RTT, 270 degree awning, and shower tent are all open and drying at the moment as well.

Enjoy your shut down time. We were told that our budget is in place years in advance, so not going to affect us. I really wouldn't mind having a couple of furlough days. Still couldn't make this trip on that short notice even if they did close down..

Y'all have fun and stay safe.

We get to go in and work for free until a budget or a continuing resolution is passed. Then we get retroactive pay. Until then, you are living on savings, a loan, or a credit card.

Dang it! I folded up the gazebo when it got dry. Then sprayed 3M waterproofing stuff on the tent until I ran out of stuff. Left it to dry some more. Went back out and a light mist had fallen abd got the tent wet. Wadded it up loosely in my arms and threw it in the spare bedroom until Thursday, the next forecasted dry day.
