    Labor Day is right around the corner and so is the MidSouth Econoline Meet, I just wanted to drop a line with some details. John and I checked with the Park Office last weekend and there are still a few sites available to camp with our group. Available sites are in Area "C"; 62, 74, 75, 76, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91 and 92. Currently we have 12 sites registered between 61 and 73. Ive attached a map to make it easier to pick your site!

    Since my first MidSouth Econoline event, I have not found a better way to spend my Labor Day weekend (and I'm NOT looking)! The regulars have all become family and we adopt new ones every year. Many of us show up on Thursday night and stay until Monday morning. The actual lineup event at the Museum of Automobiles will be Sunday at 10AM. This is a kid-friendly event so bring on the next generation!

    I'm camped out as "Greeter" in Camsite C61.

    MidSouth Econoline Meet - all makes welcome! Empty 19 Early Econo's and a Mid to make 20 for this year!! Was awesome!

    Wanted to drop a line to say we had a wonderful time! Plenty of food and drink and enough Econo's to keep us looking all weekend long. Two 8door Econo's and 8 more first gen EconoVans and nine Econo Vucks! Jim Bulger brought BlueLemon over and that made twenty for the show!

    We had several Econoline Garages to include: power window install, window channel and vent window rebuild, brake rebuild and a swap meet on Saturday that was great!

    Movie night on Saturday was a great success again and Monday night we watched some Early propaganda films.

    More details and pics when I get home...

    That's pretty cool, my wife and I almost made the trip..

    We decided to wait till next year, by then the van should be driven enough for us to trust a road trip. Looks like we might be the only GM Van there though..
