Thumbs up JK Fest Reading PA Area Jeepers

OK, so we are heading up to the JK Fest at Rausch Creek for the day on Saturday. I am trying to get a few other Jeeps to drive up with me, so if anyone wants to get in on the Jeep convoy, please let me know so I can tell you where we are meeting up. I know there are a handful of you in York and Lancaster, so it might not be out of the way. It should only take us about 45 minutes to get there, but I would like to be on the road by 7:00am.

If I get a head count, I will get some coffee and doughnuts for everyone.

No worries, I am sure someone from the area might be heading up on Saturday morning. If not I will see everyone there anyway. I can't believe how excited I am about this! If you plan on finding a camping spot I would suggest getting there early as I bet the spots will go quickly. What kind of camper do you have? Are you towing it up with your JK or is it the type that you would be towing the JK with? I have not towed with ours yet, but will be taking the boat out the weekend following the JK Fest so we'll see.

Sweet, Pop-Ups are the best of both worlds. You get the feeling of being outside, while having some of the comforts of home. I had one a while back and am thinking it might be a good idea to get another one sometime. I just picked up a boat this summer and am looking for a project Jeep now, so after that.

See you there.

Anyone leaving from Reading PA area tomorrow morning?

I thought there would be a rather large group. Guess not.
