I'm looking for an overdrive for my 2a. I'd be willing to trade my PTO winch setup for it. If anyone has one they can bring to the FCT maybe we can do some trading or buy sell.

Lowenuf, That is a very generous offer and we thank you for it.  Yup the FCT has gotten much bigger than the weekend rides with a few friends that it was in the beginning.  And our costs have gone up as well.  We depend on the donations to help cover our costs.  I hope lots of folks will buy multiple chances to win your bows.  And knowing the high quality that you put in each set I'm anxious to get my set.  I'd like to take the modern top off of Sam's Jeep and put original bows and canvas back on it.

Mike, since I am in on the partnership of Sam's jeep, I will gladly make a set of bows when I return home, and send them to you. As for the top, that would be jpet's department... lol  Low

Don't know if you're looking for consolation prizes for the raffle, but I am happy to donate a set of side steps - gently used, after market, freshly painted (satin black epoxy), and assembled ready to go.  Might not be for everybody, but just keep drawing until you find a winner that can use them.  Let me know if you want me to bring them for the raffle.

Mike, If you are needing assistance in getting things ready, I am only about 2.5 hours out and can be there early saturday. Let me know if I can help and when you would like me to be there. Margie and I would be glad to help set up. My way of helping in a great get together!  Mike

Hey Mike, you weren't here in June like we talked about; I think you had a fire to fight then too.  Do you still want the windshield frame for Barney?  I won't be able to make the Tour this year, but I can bring the frame over on the first weekend if you still want it.  Lemme know.

Lowenuf, we'll figure this out when  you get here.  I could become the western outlet for Low's Bows Inc. 

Tom, if you're willing to donate them, we'll raffle them.  Thank you! 

Mike, Saturday would be good.  An extra pair of hands is always appreciated.

Ol' Unreliable, yeah sometimes when fire duty calls, they expect you to drop all your doing and pick it up after your fire tour.  Sometimes I forget what I dropped and what I picked up.  Yessir, if you can bring the frame up on 16 or 17 that would be great. 

The weather forecast is still looking great with sunshine, highs in the mid-70s and lows in the mid-40s.  As we drove over Trout Creek Pass 2 days ago we noticed a few aspen beginning to turn bright yellow.  We haven't had the frost that usually turns the aspen gold, but the shorter daylight hours are tripping the color change.  I think we're going to have a beautiful display of color this year.

I should be able to come over and lend a hand as well Mike. I can even head over during the week if you need me to. Have a few things to get done here for FCT, but can head that way anytime. Still no update on when and where Tater is arriving, he was in TX yesterday. Tater's tires (well most if them) arrived here yesterday, so need to get those put on before the 17th. Just give me a shout if you need a hand. Can't wait to see everyone.

Mike - when we swap Sam's Jeep to the correct top, I already have a home for the modern top we take off. Meanwhile, the overdrive for Sam's Jeep is enoute via Lowenuf express.

Traci, you need to get tater ready to join us this year.  I'm looking forward to seeing it on the trails. So when you get it here bring it on up this way. 

Keith, I'll keep the top handy for you. 

Fred, thank you for your donations!  Especially the special author signatures.  You're the best!

Okay Mike, I will be bringing the w/s frame over on the 16th.  I have to do it then so I won't see all the flatfenders there and get all whiny that I won't be able to stay.  What am I saying?  I'm already all whiny that I won't be able to make the FCT!

Mike that weather prediction looks really good.  I think I will bring my winter coat and gloves for when we drive out of the valley.
