Rigs or people selling stuff?  I think I saw a hand full of 4wd rigs probably about 20 people selling stuff.  There wasn't a whole lot of room any more big trailers like mine and there wouldn't have been enough room.  I think the most entertaining part of the the day was when this guy was trying to load a gypsy style vw van onto a trailer and set the e brake before he was all the way on the trailer while a bunch of people were still trying to push it up the loading ramps, the guy gets out and exclaims " I set the parking brake!" then he realized it wasn't completely on the trailer and the pushers were still trying to push it further on.  I think some have called them a westfalia.  I was laughing in my head.  I left around 1:00 I probably saw 1-200 folks come by.  Not a bad turn out more people would have come by if it didn't rain.

It was raining when I got up so I thought nobody would be there, I say do it again and hope for better weather if it isn't costing you anything.

Nice to meet new people, got a nice full size spare!

Well worth it for me and I wouldn't mind another in a few months? maybe one every 4-6 months?

I'm thinking maybe end of May 1st of June, just before trail openings...It was a little costly providing $200.00 in food but if we do a bring your own food I'll do coffee and bear claws...I'm a small shop and the cost comes from my Wheeling fund...I heard a few had a good time Sunday on the hill (IMMUDDY and others from my crowd) up at Bald. I should have gone too...anyway thanks guys and we'll do it again with a little better planning and space

Hey all, this was a great meet. Thanks for the time and effort you put into it, will definantly make the next one!

Also, anyone know who the guy with the gold chevy (pictured above w/welder) and an RC Car was. I am interested in his 700R4 he had for sale. If anyone can point me in his direction that would be great.
