Re: York, Pa show
 

I just made my reservations for the Best Western. I've stayed there for about 8yrs now it's not bad but not as nice as the Holiday Inn where I've never stayed.

Re: York, Pa show
 

hi 9W
i just made mine at holiday inn. this is suppose to be the closest to the expo as what they said.this will be my first time.is there more than 1 building? i plan on getting there friday morn for the auction, and i signed up for the seminar for the milling machine.
how far is Best Western from there? i might change mine

Re: York, Pa show
 

I guess they're having some of the auction in another building next door. First time for that. I guess since there's two auctions this time.
Best Western =About 1 mile further. What rate did Holiday charge? I'm in at BW for $76 per night.

Re: York, Pa show
 

there charging me $90, but comes with a breakfast buffet

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

I talked to the coordinator yesterday again to make sure of a space for a pit for us and he was on it. Today, while I was emailing another member here I got a phone call from Gary the man in charge there asking me what kind of dirt I wanted again for my digging pit. We talked about how big of a space we needed and he has his old boat pond that isn't used there anymore because he has a bigger one now. He said the old pond could be made as large as 30'X60' and leave one side open for access. What I need to know who is going to attend and what they're bringing. Maybe you East Coast guys will want to bring some road trucks and buildings. I don't have anything like that so I'm more geared to the digging part of it.

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

I'll be bringing: wheeled skid loader, rubber tracked loader, 2 tonka dt's, mack dump, dragline & dozer.:)

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

As a on-road guy, if I don't have have to work at the 15th I'll bring my 2 wreckers, my rigid and a king with van trailer. I know the 16th I'm free so If any of the East Coasters are thinking of going let me know

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

I'll be bringing All my stuff running or not but seems the dump truck will get the most use maybe the tractor and lowboy for moving equipment ( by the way $50.00 / hr :p )

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

Steve if you get your dump stuck the tow company charges $250.00 for a Medium hook and for the heavy hauler its $450.00 payable before the truck is set back down on its sneakers.

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

I will be coming with my wife and staying at the Best Western and bringing my 1/12 scale Deere excavator. Ed

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

not if it's my own towing co. :D:p

IHSteve

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

Is your wrecker gonna be up and running?

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

I might try to make the event on the 15th. I can bring a tow truck and my green mack. York is about an hour and half from Frederick Md this sounds fun..;)

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

I can drive it and hook some chains and pull a building over with it , but still a lot of work to be done :(

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

I hope to be there on the 15th and possible the 16th. I am planning on bringing my military King, Studebaker, and maybe something else. Still need to make reservations!

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

Anybody that exhibits on Saturday is usually invited to a small party that evening with food and drink sponsored by the venders. Last year it was at the show in the lobby but two and three years ago we were at a industrial museum in York.

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

I'd love to see it Steve. I hope I can bring the fleet down. Just need to cross my fingers.


Is there still going to be room for us on-road guys?

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

I don't think that would be a problem. If the "old boat pond"(dirt containment) is set up like I mentioned before, it can be as large as 30'x60' but we need to see how the first run works to know how much room we'll need in the future. I hope this could get as large as some of the European shows. This avenue is not covered at this show and will go nicely with the "real boat pond" group and the live steam railroaders.
Besides if we could get some dozers,graders and scrapers there we could build you a road:D

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

I'm definately interested in bringing the trucks down. Its close by too. It definately would be awesome to see something the size of the euro shows.

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

I so wish :( I just can't build at Henry's speed :p I either have no time or no $ this time it's almost both :eek: I guess I'll give the trusty ol 9370 a work out as long as the person loading dose not take my body off :rolleyes::p

I'm still debating commuting or staying at my brothers

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

Well, I am looking forward to this weekend. I am heading over on Friday to help set up the dirt and check out the auction. I'll probably build a climbing road to the top of the dirt pile where Steve's 9W will sit and then on Saturday we can build a road back down the other side using the rc equipment.:) Should be a blast.

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

make me a loop around the pile ;) I need a good radius . I be there sometime sat morning ( I HOPE )

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

I will be there some time friday. Ed

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

i know that pain. **** income tax puts a damper on me this time of year.

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

they have for years and unless we get people who are sincere about cutting the spending it will keep going:mad:, well nuff of this it could turn into a battle field and we do not want that here :D

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

Steve tell them you will pay them the 32nd of the month or they can charge it to the wind and let the dust settle it. Ed. ;)

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

i would have liked to show up for this show but winter weather and the cost of a trip that far maybe next year how ever i will be at a couple of shows this year i know i will be at indy if there is a show there this year and maybe st louis show if there is one there i will take days off if i have to i just think it would be fun since i have missed a few already

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
 

well we'll get to meet up then . well , I'm not jinxing myself :p just listed 1 excavator and got a hit we'll see :confused:

Re: Cabin Fever expo ,York , PA
