Hey everyone. Joe here , near Cedar Rapids. I'd like to plan a meet up in September somewhere around Cedar Rapids . Let's do this! If we get people to respond I'll put it together. If we get enough interest I know a couple places we could even camp if desired.

There is the Iowa all breed jeep show on the 22nd and 23rd near Cambridge Iowa. I know its not in CR but it is right in the middle of the state. Might be a good way to get the word out too. We can get an official OB rally point with flags and the whole 9 yards.

The Jeep show is pretty cool. I have went to it in the years past and it is a lot of fun. They are having a trail/course for you to drive on this year that is supposed to be larger than before. I cannot make this year though.

I used to work in Sgt Bluff at the airport. This will be my first trip to the jeep show.

It's a good time, however some of the Jeep people are snobbish. I know there will be a few different Toyota guys there. Most of the accessories that are sold at it are tailored towards the Jeep community as well.

Crazy that you were so close at one time.

I'm planning on going to the Ozarks Rondayvoo in October. I think I will skip this weekend too.

I was a firefighter at the airport when 232 came in. Just retired from Cedar Rapids. We enjoyed living in that area. Salix and Sloan. What do you have for a rig?

Oh wow that was a few years ago then that you were in the area. I have a 07 Tacoma for a rig.

I just looked up that Rondayvoo and it looks AWESOME!!! Doubtful I would be able to make it happen since I'm heading to do the TWAT the 2nd week of October.

That's a nice run, we have done that one 3 or 4 times. It's a good long weekend trip.
Good luck.

We were just through Sioux City on our way back from the Dakotas.

The Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail. From Galena to Lake Superior.

Hopefully someplace out west in the Dakotas. Otherwise they are so BORING!!!

Black hills, devil's tower Mt Rushmore, with some of our family, came back through sturges. I did the Trans American Trail this year also.

Sounds like a good trip if you ask me
