<br><br>Nope, It looks like I'll be flyin' solo, thanks for the address...<br><br>Later, Rob

 

Hey Tony add two more. I've invited a good friend and his wife. He is a CTD owner (since about 1991) but does not have internet access. He's the one who got me hooked on the Dodge Cummins. We each have a son in college who will probably want to come also. So, it looks like 4 to 6 people from Leelanau county. (Most likely 6)

Good deal! I think that's about 15 if PapaSmurf &amp; wife also show! ;D

 

Hey Guys, back from deer hunting/squirrell watching. I should definitely be there (2 of us). How about a ruff time frame? I'll be driving the gasser though. I have the interior ripped out of the Dodge right now, pretty loud and cold.<br><br>Don.
