    Who gets to go to the ATHS show in Hutchinson KS this year?

    I'm really thinking about getting there but it's a bit of a long trip (probably involving a BA Boeing 777), so is it worth it?

    I did see Nate's post on the 2006 show which kinda means it has to be.

    I'm much closer than you but there are some of the GMC group coming from Netherlands, Canada, East Coast and some even driving from West Coast.

    If At ALL Possible

    You've gotta make this meet .

    I've been to a couple and were I rich & retired , I'd wheeze my old '49 to every one .

    My buddy drove up to one in.....?Colorado? was it ? his first and now he'll prolly go every year .

    Have fun , remember to take a pencil and small pad of paper in your pocket as you're goping to be collecting a LOT of information , names , places , part #'s and on and on....

    OOPS ~ I almost forgot the 6 or 10 rolls of film you're going to need :rolleyes:

    A sun hat is good too .

    I Was Wondering....

    If I was the only one left who still shoots film :rolleyes:

    I guess it's time to junk my Mavica camera and begin using one of those tiny digital cameras..... :eek:

    Just checked the site. They have a show in Riverhead, New York just a little ways from me in July. Too cool. The kids truck will definately be ready to roll into that show.

    Take several rolls of film with you!

    Or one big memory stick for your digital camera!;) (Sorry Nate, I gotta bust your chops when I can!:D)

    I just noticed that we'll have one in Marion, Tx on April 19. All you Austin/San Antonio boys need to meet us Houston area boys there! I'm digging this! What say?

    Well OK, taking Nate's advice I'll have to be there. Complete with pencil, pad, camera (mine is a digital) and sun hat.

    Anyone else going, drop me an email, maybe we can meet up.
