I am here and the dirt looks great!

We set up some really nice roads to run the road trucks on.

We'll have a blast making the dirt roads tomorrow.

This Year is the 21st anniversary.

I hope we get a good turnout this year because the miniature model engine builders and model train builders are dying off and the younger generation is not replacing them so, rc construction is really the only chance that Cabin Fever has of still being around in the next 5 to 10 years.

Not for me my friend! I've made a couple trips like that with our 3 person drag race team. Now I avoid it as much as possible, Im more of a jump on plane and fly type now.. Im making it a point to attend the next show and save up some cash so hopefully I can come home with a new toy of some sort as well. I honestly did not even know about this show until recently looking thru the forum.

It sure would be nice if they could get some screened top soil even if they charged a couple dollars to all that attend it would be a lot nicer to work with and a lot easier on some of the models. Ed

Ya, I actually tried to post a few and got a error, let me try again. But, I don't really have the "good pictures" I'm sure the other guys have some good pics and videos.

This is the north side of Pittsburgh on my way out Wednesday.

This is the mountains just coming into Harrisburg. The Appilachian Trail is there someplace.

This is a taco pizza from A&M pizza on Wednesday nite. Walking distance from the holiday inn express.

And finally we get to some machine photos! This is the inside of the 9W primary wire block that got pulled loose
on Saturday. Got it running after some troubleshooting.

Crowd and a few operators on the south side.

What a great show! Great dirt, great turnout, even greater builds. I wish we could have 2 meets like this a year instead of just one. Thanks everyone.

Wish I could have stayed Sunday but it was a good call for me to head back to Des Moines. We are covered in ice today!

Here is a short video of my takeoff Sunday morning.

Thanks to Bo and Steve for hauling me around!

Administrators, Could someone move the photos and videos and start a new thread from the show?
That would make it easier for people to find since there's so many posts already on this thread.

just wanted to say it was a great event this year!! and enjoyed seeing and meeting all of you, typical of myself if I forget a name or forum handle sorry, for those that know me I'm usually on a one track mind :) at least this year I did operate something other than the dozer!!! had a blast and possibly meet up with some of you over the upcoming summertime!! I didn't take one picture during the weekend and sunday I forgot to eat something!! its pretty easy to get preoccupied with running stuff and talking to folks !!

Re: Cabin Fever 2017
 
Thank You all for a Fantastic Cabin Fever Expo Event 2017. In my mind the best so far. It was great to se all of you New and Old Friends. A ton of fun to watch the Young Girls and Boys driving and digging the giant dirt pile. Fantastic Kids. And no lack of interest from the older crowd to shape the event to such success. I'm sure we had a lot over 100 units in the layout........maybe closer to 200 i lost count. I'm looking forward to meet you all again. Together we can move a mountain or two ;o)

Thank You.
BO

I am ready for next year’s show!

Finally I installed a real RC control on my truck, thus no more cables in the way! I bought a very simple 2 channel system, batteries and a speed control and I put it all in a box, which I can move around to other vehicles if needed. I am not very good with electronics, but I got it to work! I hope to also use this set up for my cranes.
