2020 Cheap Jeeps Meet and Ride- Kentucky - Event Date: 25 Sep. 2020 - 27 Sep. 2020

 

 

 

Stev the bed extensions are great as for me. They have been holding up well and hauling regularly. As for the 12" in the pic, its been rigged with the tire and can for a while and appears to be fine. He also has a stash in the bed itself along with the tire and can.LOL

 The three 24" beds in the pics hauled coolers for lunch and took the place of the bantam trailer this year. They also came in handy for the jeeps at full capacity with room to carry dogs and personal items. The 12" beds were on  I think 3 of them.  As for needing support?

As always, thanks to Troy, Julie, Ethan and Seth for hosting and just being who you are, love ya’ll. Lonnie, Marilyn- you’re the best and the genesis of this entire weekend. Can you believe this was our 5th year? Hollywood, Rainey-You outdid yourselves on the routes this year! Bravo gentlemen, BRAVO! Rob G- the ballots are in, come on back next year! Bob 3B- outstanding photos as always. Thank you for sharing them with us.

I know I’ve left some things out and don’t really want to write a novel here. Already looking forward to this fun and family friendly event again next year.

That is a cabin that was built on a piece of family property located on the Cumberland rive. The Williams family owns the cabin and have added the other store front buildings for collectables and improvements to the site. They rent the facility out for weddings and what not. It is also available for nightly stays,events and so forth.He is a jeep fan and had several flatties on the farm where the cabin sits but most were just to far gone. Mr.Williams is in the process of having one fixed up this year so maybe he can join us on our next adventure.

As for the drone operator, that will be Hollywood's nephew Zack. He took off work to meet us and pull off the video and pics. Matt settled in here at the shop and added the appropriate music that seems to make the video's perfect for me. ( Hat's off to Zack and Matt, Great job!) The overlook is owned by Mr. Darren Cleary and was gracious enough to allow us to pass through and enjoy the view. Due to trespassers it is in the process of being closed off to the public. It's located aprox. 1/2mi up river from the ferry. Maybe somewhere down the line we can take this ride again.

Overall the ride went well. Matt had some trouble with his jeep and that was the only jeep that didn't make the complete ride. We had a tranny issue with one and 2 possible overdue rebuilds before next year(Tightwad and Lock Washer! LOL) The Hog Wild BBQ boys were on que and as for those who were concerned, they were well taken care of and thanks for your generosity to them. It takes a large load off with them coming to serve us.

To all those that help with this event-THANK YOU!!!!!!

YOU- Guest that are courteous to others. Very appreciative people who make it easy to be around. Generous to those who serve at this event. People who take in regards there are families at this event and keep the air clear of foul language and campsite's clean and personal beverages hidden. People who bow each morning when I request prayer for the day and before meals. People who respect our veterans who are recognized every mourning. A group that can take a good joke and help till late hours getting a fellow jeeper repaired for the next days ride. Those that spend a few days before the event baking goods for the shop loafers and snack bags for the ride.

I thank you all for the efforts you apply that make this possible!
