[9W Monighan]

Got the call from the owner of Cabin Fever Expo today telling me that out dirt pile has been ordered.
We need some input on how to layout our area.
We had a very nice turnout last the last show hope we can put on another great show.

[Rckcrwlr]

[9W Monighan]

This new video just came up today from the last show. Can't wait!

[skeeter]

Perhaps next year, I'll make the trip from Washington State, to come out & play at one of these events........socialize with everyone as well.

[TheBennyB]

When I show up on Sat should I just go through normal entrance or drive to the back and unload?

[9W Monighan]

I think there's a separate line for exhibitors to speed up the process. Park in the back near our door.

[sparkycuda]

Well, life seems to get in the way sometimes. Just cancelled my hotel for Cabin Fever, though I wanted to go very much. Minor health issue for my wife, just not enough recuperation time before trip to PA.

Hope everyone has a great time and I am planning for 2019 already.

Ken

[Sped74]

so what hotel does everyone stay at?

[TheBennyB]

Think most of us are at the Days Inn Lebanon valley. Only 2mi from the venue.

[Valdosetti]

Hi guys, few people that I know are going to be there this year, extra 15 to 20 equipments to move dirt around faster. Lol. More fun.

[TheBennyB]

AWESOME! That is where i booked my rooms lol

Should make for some good after hours parties!

[Sped74]

Sounds like it!!!!

[lenny]

Room at days Inn booked. Be there early sat morning, first timer here. Is there a registration fee or anything I need before hand? Looking at bringing the 360L and 870K. The motor still hasn't shown up for the duratoy so I'm guessing that's out. Looking forward to it.

[bigford]

Lenny where on LI are you?

[lenny]

West Babylon here, basically at the Suffolk Nassau border. Looks like a 3.5 hour run to the show.

[bigford]

Yeah I'm out by smith point beach.
I figured I'll leave at 3:30. To beat the construction
Traffic.

[lenny]

Yep on the same page here, looking to get rolling around 4 should leave time to eat and unload just at the start of sat morning "play time". Now where the h@ll is my radar detector.

[ihbuilder]

I'll be there Thursday to work the dirt around and start setup (no hand shoveling this year :D)

[bigford]

No medicine ball size lumps of hard pack either

[9W Monighan]

You haven't been around in a while. I have a rock crusher now to deal with those. Last year we had to look for rocks.

[9W Monighan]

When is Gary having the dirt delivered?

[ihbuilder]

No medicine ball size lumps of hard pack either

I'll make sure to leave some just for you :p

[TheBennyB]

Looking forward to it! Hope to be there around 10 Sat morning.

[TheBennyB]

Anyone have an issue if I bring a 1/16 rc tank to occasionally run on the dirt and promote the hobby? Full operational with historical track/gun recoil and slow speed.

[Bo Wallen]

Achtung Achtung !!! The BEST Dirt ever just landed at Cabin Fever PA.

[Mikem]

Very nice dirt super dirt gonna be fun

[9W Monighan]

I guess I'll be importing some rocks from the parking lot again for the crusher :p

[ihbuilder]

I'll bring half a 55 gal barrel of them on Friday . 3" in size ?

[9W Monighan]

Should work . Not too big so we don't keep breakin them with hammer first.

[Cooper]

See some of you in a.m..

[Rvjimd]

The timing of the show, the weather and my transportation is down for a few weeks so i cant attend this year, i am bummed!

PLEASE don't forget to take pictures and video and post them so the disadvantaged of us can still enjoy the fun!

Jim

[TheBennyB]

Are you guys in the same area as last year? Back hall from the front door by the loading dock door?

[ihbuilder]

yes sir

[skeeter]

Those of us that would really like to attend such a large US gathering, but aren't able to will be anxiously awaiting pics, & vids from the fun.

[Rvjimd]

Ya, i just checked the site a few moments before skeeter posted this! Come on, i know you guys have smart phones! Show us the DIRT!

[lenny]

Would anyone know if there are any type of dollys or anything for use at the show. Forced to take the jeep and I have no room. Just thinking of carrying that loader or excavator is making my back hurt. Can't wait to get on the road.

[frizzen]

Nobody had time while charging batteries to take and upload any pics?

Not even just a big pile of dirt...

[bigford]

There's a ton of pics on Facebook and instagram. Where it's easier to upload them.

[Bo Wallen]

Got this and more later.

Lamackattack : Why not download the fix ?

[Lmackattack]

Fix? is there one? I stopped using Photobucket and was using post image as it was less of a hassle with all the adds that Photobucket was dumping on its users

[scottyk]

wow look at all those people!! very cool to see that guys.

I've never been able to make the trip to see this show in person but it looks awesome.

Im curious what the vendor area is like if anyone would care to comment on that? I've always been on the lookout for a quality model engine to purchase, steam engine, boiler, internal combustion, steam tractor, even construction equipment etc.. just curious if you see these sort of things for sale at this show? thanks

[jjackso5]

Bo, thank you for the pictures. Again, what a great turn out for the hobby! Looks like you'll need larger area next year too! Were there any "truck/equipment" vendors on site? That'll be the next step to help this grow even more, getting some of our suppliers/vendors involved in the shows with us.

Who's mining truck is that? Yours? Looks great.

I'm hoping to be able to attend next year's event. Is there something coming up in the spring or summer?

Thank you again for the pictures,

Jim

[egronvold]

Sure looks like you guys had a good show!

Thanks Skotty, Jjackso/Jim,Egronvold.
If you looking for : model engine , steam engine, boiler, internal combustion, steam tractor, even construction equipment etc..It's all here...they say it's the largest market/auction in the US. Someone sold a fully functional V8 in 1/5 scale.

No rc truck vendors......yet. That will change next CF.

Yes a bigger aria is up for next year. This year we got a few hundred square feet extra. Next year a few thousand is a must.

would like to break new record every year.

The mining truck is Coopers/ Ralph Insane machine.

Yes the turnout this year was tremendous... can't know how many.
252 wheeled/tracked machines in the last counting......not bad....not bad at all.
Blows my mind for sure.
Hope to see you Guys next year.

[Rvjimd]

What, did you guys have a meeting? "Jim from Iowa cant make it out this year so lets get some great looking dirt and have a huge turnout to make him jealous"

Wow, looks like a great show this year!

[Bo Wallen]

Jim from Iowa........you were missed.........and your shovel would have loved the DIRT ! and not to forget Longhorn Steakhouse was great this time too.:lol:
