As someone who has planned one Cruise-In and hosted two Barn Raisings (one official, one not), I think it's a safe bet that when it comes to these forum gatherings, it's just too much work and not enough reward.

I mean, you're welcome to give it a shot, but I think that ship has sailed.

Be glad to have you all come to Utah, only problem is it's, well............ Utah.

I agree. While my vision sees a mud-wrestling pit, boxing ring, and paint-ball combat course, along with BBQ pit, golf course driving range, car show area, and RV area, ALL in Tikiman's front yard, the reality is that it would be simply easier to meet up at a designated public location like a resort/hotel/campground and hang out. Too many people from all over the place, and distances are pretty far. Have discussed this for years on other car forums for simple car meet ups (none of the drama that happens here, these are just plain car-guys), but it does get too complicated and the 'ringleader' is often left holding the bag.

Still, I think it would be epic. Have the Driveway Nudist contest right AFTER the mud-wrestling or paintball contest....etc.

We do have one of those...at Animal Kingdom.

And pass on the meet up. the FBI might be watching this group or so we've been told.

Cruise-In VI, VII and VIII were epic. Barn Raising I approached epic. This sounds like a stag party for you and five of your buddies.

That's the reality, I'm afraid.

Likely just me and STS out at Moon Rocks. With maybe The Dude. A lot of the folks are on the east coast or in the South.

Ever since I was old enough to make the vacation location decisions, I would find out which direction most folks were going, then travel in the exact opposite direction.

Little known fact: July is one of the nicer months in Florida. All of the snow birds are back north, and the roads and restaurants are not crowded. Believe it or not, it is often hotter and more humid here in NJ in July than it is where several family members live in Plantation FLA.

It doesn't really get hot here until August/September timeframe.

Sounds like FLA is getting the nod. I might be able to van-pool with STS and go halve-sies and split the cost of the diesel, oysters, and shitter cartridges with him. Doug and Lars and a few of you other folks are already IN FLA.

This could work.

Fine, but leave BSS back in Kommiefornia.

The man is my ride, and also one of the two people of interest who's birthday's are being celebrated. Doug can't be the only Birthday Boy in the dunk booth. We need STS to even things out. And also to pick up the golf balls (hard hat of course) on the driving range (all for charity).
And to tell stories at night around the fire pit. Who better than STS??

I’m no where near Orlando, and have zero desire or intention to visit Orlando.

No worries. Since you have raw acreage, we'll come to you.

Something tells me that probably isn't going to be an option
