Just bumping this to the forefront, since it's getting closer. If there is some interest, we could probably do an informal meet & greet one day, maybe at lunchtime. Come on out. Or even plan on camping with us at the event. I'll be there in all my "just off the trail" dust and glory.

Check is in the mail to the campground. Wife wants to come and found us a camper to rent.

I look forward to meeting Mrs. O

We got anything to "display the colors" so it's easier for people to find us?
 
I plan in taking my TRS flag that we use in ORV parks. It would be easy to hang the TRS flag on the side of a tent like I did last time we were at LBL.
 
I'm going to take the TRS flag and try to make a Vagabond banner before I leave here.

You bring 'em.
We'll get 'em hung on something.
 
Ya, I've wondered how we'll do that. Maybe string a rope through them. Just need two points to hang them between.

No worries. We'll have paracord, zip-ties and tents & vehicles to hang from.
 
I think I have either 100' or 50' of paracord in the garage I can bring along (maybe both).
 
Maybe we could just "commandeer" a flag pole somewhere onsite.
 
I plan on having a laminated info sheet to hang on my truck while we're camped there, plus a magnetic business card holder (Take one) with the business cards I carry that have QR codes to TRS and my YouTube channel. That should help answer questions for people who walk by in the camping area while we're not there.

I have the banner Jim sent me to use at Carlisle. I can zip tie it to my canopy.

Are you driving out there? Is Trevor coming?
