    You guys from the Mid west have it made to have the Nats in your back yard.
    Just too far for the Econo to make it there and back on its own for a weekend.
    Wish I could go.

    Had to make my own show here in NJ for Northeast Vintage Vanners.

    You guys have a good time.

    Hey Dodge Man
    Thanks for the encouragement.
    Maybe I'll make it next year if they allow van-pickups.

    If your going start working on your list, extra belts, extra starter, and alt are good thing to bring. Don't forget a fan and small items to make things easier on your self. I myself will be bring my gas grill and I always bring extra food so stop by for a meal

    Just a note on the vendors coffee. if you drink as much of the stuff as I do it might be a good idea to toss in a small coffee maker or a one you can use on a camp stove. While the vendor food I sampled was great, it can get pricey after a few days of going that route. And I usually wake up way before the vendors opened.
