Re: syty nats
Might be a couple of us going from the West-Central MN area. We'll probably take a bit different route than you would out of the cities... Unless you wanted to take I-90 west.

That's it? It's Denver in the summer! Maybe a little to early to ask? Might be better to wait for this white stuff to melt and the rivers to stop flooding! I would be willing to go a little out of my way to get a group together! I've never been to one of these and I have a mostly stock Ty.

Re: syty nats
I'll throw this out there....
If we take I-90 across, we could all meet up in Sioux Falls, or somewhere close to that.
We can either go through Valentine, Neb on our way there, or west towards the Black Hills.
I like the black hills drive, but given that I'll likely be pulling a trailer, the Valentine route is a little less stressful.
Let's hope that gas prices find some sanity between now and then.

Re: syty nats
So, my Ty may not be back up and running by then! Is it a bad thing to show up in a different car? My Ty has almost 100,000 mls and I was going to start a rebuild at 100! I do want to go to nats though! Kinda torn now. Rebuild or wait till after nats?

It is perfectly fine to show up without a SyTy. I went to my first Nats in '09 before I even bought a truck.

Drive it as it is. Seems like the 100k ones are usually the only ones at Nats that run...

Re: syty nats
Resurrecting this, as the time is fast approaching.
Current plan is to leave Fargo/Moorhead area on Wed (8-3) AM, getting to Denver area late Wed.
Pretty open to route, but will be trailering so my preference will be as much flat land as possible. This would keep me out of the Black Hills routes and more through Nebraska.
I'm not as aggressive of a trailer-puller as some (I don't do the 80 MPH trailer thing), so I won't be making record transit time out there.

Re: syty nats
You guys end up coming down I-76 into Denver or do you guys go 80 all the way into Cheyenne?

Prolly 76.
http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=F...n3bGiHEphrhzHcVYAgVEbGFA&mra=ls&t=h&z=6&via=1
Alternate route takes us though Yankton, SD->Columbus NE, ->Grand Island, NE and then to I-80, I-76. 14 hrs, 23 mins, but not quite so much desolation as the other route. (Not a whole lot of options if you break down south of Valentine)
