    I already figured that out when i saw a lot of non vendor bozos run up the slope, park their MINIs and head to the cafe for a brewski or a burger. I never knew the vendors were all up there!

    A good time was had by all and it was great seeing old friends again and meeting new ones.

    Watch out for random fireworks.

    Lee that was a little 16 pack of firecrackers, because on Saturday night Colin got Josh and I with a 1,000 roll under our chairs while we were talking by our fire pit. Hahahahaha If you play the game, some times you win sometimes you loose. I win more than I loose. Hahahahaha

    I enjoyed putting faces to names I’ve been talking with for years. Great job with the donations for the food bank. I would have loved to join you guys for a cold one but my Doc told me to lay off anything that’d thin my blood out over the weekend. The pics that the Modfather posted of his smoker looked great.
    Next year will be a shorter stay because Eli will be in his first year of middle school and his mama put her foot down. I can’t check him out for three days again. He had a ball meeting all you guys and got to know most of the vendors.
    Already counting down to the next one.

    EDIT: I definitely will not be wasting my money on the dyno next year. Thanks for the heads up about the altitude Dave.

    Agreed - would love to have met you. It was a crazy weekend. Glad you were able to meet @Goldsmithy I also agree, they need better wifi. I was staying in the lodge and couldn't get a good connection. I have a lot of pics and some video to upload. :)

    Lol - yea we were sitting there and the leftovers were landing on us. Good times. Then when I was leaving, forgot I had left the camera on the dash and stalled it. Sure there was some good "discussion" about that. :Bag:

    Agreed - went down to sign up and watched a few... Watched them fiddle around with a car for about 45 minutes (assume was an auto) then the all4... they almost did a dyno on (glad they didn't).. I decided to hold off after watching both of those.

    Agreed.. hated to miss that but glad I was able to meet him in person when he came to the tent. We are already working on plans for next year. @Goldsmithy has some ideas and @ALLMAG Dustin and I discussed a few. Needless to say, I think we will continue to improve. Can't give enough thanks for @Goldsmithy and @MCS02 for their help.

    I do have a challenge - for anyone who didn't attend MOTD... notice anything different when you look at the tent? (I don't mean the fact that we had a tent or donations... just anything else)??
    MOTD attendees - don't respond. :D

    Oh snap..
    I was thinking no-one noticed. You already answered the comment I posted... hadn't read that far on the thread.. winner... :Thumbsup:

    I'll be updating the site with it. I also have new tag cards. I've also been waiting to send out the annual badges until that was done. Note - the annual badges will have the "nostalgic" logo on them. That way you know the "original" supporters. :D They will go out this week. As always feedback on the new logo is appreciated. :D
