That would be really cool. Where are our trucks built? I know mine came
from Warren MI but I can't speak for anyone else's truck.

You could fly in and rent a Dak....

I was thinking this myself. I hear St.Louis is a pretty nice place, and
that's pretty centralized in the country. It would be nice to be able to
get everyone together like the R/T club does. There are enough members on
the DML so that if 80% of the members could make it, we've have enough for
most (if not all) of a campground. *THAT* would be cool. Imagine pulling
into a campground and seeing nothing but Dakotas in every spot.

If there's a large enough turnout, I'm sure someone would have access to
borrow some of the equipment required for this. Someone who has a website
could set up a VPN that we could all conference into and we could go through
there. Most people have broadband access now, as do most hotels, so I'm
sure this could be arranged.
