2017 Carlisle Checklist & Packing List

[Mr. Man]

Joanne and I will be joining the group at the Texas Road House. Shall I wear my boots and hat. I did own horses in a past life and ride in the Cow Town NJ Rodeo, (team roping)?

You show up wearing Daisy Dukes and I'll ole Yeller your ass!

The closest you'll see me to Daisy Dukes are my Scout shorts.

Only 6 more days until the Big Show at Carlisle. Its time to start putting together your packing list of items "Not to Forget" .....

Here are some suggestions ....

1. Showfield Sticker (upper driver's side windshield --- put it on before you roll)

2. Carlisle Letter (you will need this to pick up your Goody Bag from the "Guest Services" building -- put it over the visor today is a good idea). Don't forget to pick-up your Parade Credentials and other goodies at the same building if you have registered to be in the Downtown Carlisle Parade and Street Party.

3. EZ Up Tents or other Canopy type tents to supplement the big MM.Net tent (shade is a good thing). Looks like we may only have a 20' x 20' tent again.

4. Folding Chairs (2 if you have 'em)

5. Camera or iPhone camera (with charger or extra batteries)

6. Large or Small coolers (with ice and soft drinks, water, or other beverages)

7. Bags of ice (available at most gas stations or convenience stores along Rte 11 Harrisburg Pike). Also available from some of the on-site vendors.

8. Snack Items to share at the Tent (i.e. chips, pretzels, snacks, cookies, etc.)

9. Cleaning supplies (i.e. absorber or chamois, detailer spray, tire shine, windex, paper towels, etc.)

10. Micro fiber towels

11. California duster or similar

12. Hats or Visors

13. Sunscreen (you won't regret this at all)

14. Rain Gear (umbrella, windbreaker) -- "A Carlisle Tradition" -- it might happen and has before on at least one day of the weekend.

15. FRS/GMRS radio tuned to Channel 5

16. GPS if you have one (otherwise just follow the Marauder in front of you)

17. Sunglasses

18. Hand sanitizer or Handy wipes

19. Flashlight

20. Blanket to wrap up any car-part purchases

21. Comfortable Walking shoes

That's very impressive...don't hate me 'cause it's only 125 miles for me to the Carlisle Showfield Gates...

There's a number of well-stocked local grocery stores that you can purchase fresh refills when you get to Carlisle, but I'd pack enough stuff to eat during your ride even if you prefer to stop at restaurants along the trip.

1800 miles... is that all.

Dereck Cook is planning on coming from Somerset, in the UK. He has at least a 2800 mile trip. AND, there is this big pond in his path!

More like 3800 miles each way for a round trip of 7600 miles.

Hi Dereck:

I have two chairs packed for you.

[jsignorelli]

I am donating another 10 MercuryMerauder.Net bar signs for a raffle / prizes.

These are the new LED design. At the Cleveland meeting, I had the original design for the raffle.
