Never mind, as soon as I posted they showed up. I guess its an odd thing for this particular forum.

I was having trouble posting the image at first.

Do you mean that the image is odd and does not really work (ie, you don't like it) or that its odd that the image did not load right away?

Constructive criticism is a good thing.

...I am not sure what Hershey park might say if we have a banner with "Hershey" on it. Maybe just MidEngine Invasion.

They might own the rights to the name 'HersheyPark' and the candy brand, but as a city name, it's fair game.

I figure as long as we're open to Boxsters and Caymans it's a great name...

Ahh, you have it set up for easy bale removal for when you do your valve adjustments. Just kick your heels down.

Alright, I have been looking into hotels in the area. I have completely neglected the closest hotels to the event due to them generally being booked long in advance. There is no shortage of hotels in the area, though. However, finding ones with bars in them is difficult as there are a lot of small motels around, but not larger hotels. Also, those with bars tend to either be expensive, booked, or the bars close early (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) There is hope, though. Down the street from my house is a cluster of hotels that are within walking distance to two bar/restaurants; Duke's and Dimitri's. These are the "Palmyra" locations below. The Holiday Inn in Grantville is rather large and has restaurants and bars in it, but I dont know how long they are open. It is a possibility that we could take over the 3-4 motels in Palmyra, this would be the closest and, IMHO, the best setup. But, I differ to the group as I do not have time to call all of these places and get rates, etc.

On the map, the red dot is the location of the swap/race, II is Palmyra, III is Grantville, and IV is Off of 39 Manada Hill exit.

The closest campground (A) will likely be book solid, but you can call. The second closest campgrounds (B and C) are not too far and will likely have room. If you just want a place to park and sleep in your van you can use my driveway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

A- Hershey Highmeadow Campground, 1200 Matlack Rd
Hummelstown, PA, (717) 534-8999

B- Hershey Conewago Campground, 1590 Hershey Rd
Elizabethtown, PA, (717) 367-1179

C- Thousand Trails-Resort Camping, 493 S Mount Pleasant Rd
Lebanon, PA, (717) 867-5504

D- Hershey Swap and Race (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Please take a serious note regarding the train tracks next to campground A.
This is speaking from experience...you wont sleep.
This is the main line for all trains going to the east coast...its non stop, its all shipping trains...they are really long with multiple engines...it sucks ass.

We rented a cabin there...nice little wood cabin, no frills.
There is a tiny little sign posted on the counter about a FOOT off the floor. It stated.
"Occasional Train traffic on site, no refunds"

It was every 15 minutes ALL NIGHT LONG.
I got more sleep leaving here at midnight and driving right through till 6 am.

I can recommend Chocolete Town Motel , I have stayed there for many yrs.

clean , reasonable. As Doc. said with walking distance of Duke's and Dimitris

of the 2 i prefer Duke's good food and Suds. Large enough to handle lg. group.

So, after a bunch of revisions, it looks like this is going to be what we use to make a banner for the event (so folks can find our space):

And we are going to try can have shirts or something (maybe hoodies - it is April after all). This is the logo for whatever we have made:

Now now now, lets not make Scotty bring that thread back up to the top with the poll to see what YOU are driving to Hershey...
Play nice.
Hell, he is one of your mechanics...no?
