Are you guys in the same area as last year? Back hall from the front door by the loading dock door?

Re: 2018 CABIN FEVER EXPO January 12-14
 

yes sir

Re: 2018 CABIN FEVER EXPO January 12-14
 

Those of us that would really like to attend such a large US gathering, but aren't able to will be anxiously awaiting pics, & vids from the fun.

Re: 2018 CABIN FEVER EXPO January 12-14
 

Ya, i just checked the site a few moments before skeeter posted this! Come on, i know you guys have smart phones! Show us the DIRT!

Re: 2018 CABIN FEVER EXPO January 12-14
 

Would anyone know if there are any type of dollys or anything for use at the show. Forced to take the jeep and I have no room. Just thinking of carrying that loader or excavator is making my back hurt. Can't wait to get on the road.

Re: 2018 CABIN FEVER EXPO January 12-14
 

Nobody had time while charging batteries to take and upload any pics?

Not even just a big pile of dirt...

Re: 2018 CABIN FEVER EXPO January 12-14
 

There's a ton of pics on Facebook and instagram. Where it's easier to upload them.

Re: 2018 CABIN FEVER EXPO January 12-14
 

Got this and more later.

Re: 2018 CABIN FEVER EXPO January 12-14
 

Lots of pics showing up on Facebook groups from the meet. The photo bucket issue put a hurting on posting pics to web forums that dont support direct uploading.

Re: 2018 CABIN FEVER EXPO January 12-14
 

WWW.FLICKER.COM is still free

Re: 2018 CABIN FEVER EXPO January 12-14
 

Lamackattack : Why not download the fix ?

Re: 2018 CABIN FEVER EXPO January 12-14
 

Fix? is there one? I stopped using Photobucket and was using post image as it was less of a hassle with all the adds that Photobucket was dumping on its users

Re: 2018 CABIN FEVER EXPO January 12-14
 

wow look at all those people!! very cool to see that guys.

I've never been able to make the trip to see this show in person but it looks awesome.

Im curious what the vendor area is like if anyone would care to comment on that? I've always been on the lookout for a quality model engine to purchase, steam engine, boiler, internal combustion, steam tractor, even construction equipment etc.. just curious if you see these sort of things for sale at this show? thanks

Re: 2018 CABIN FEVER EXPO January 12-14
 

Bo, thank you for the pictures. Again, what a great turn out for the hobby! Looks like you'll need larger area next year too! Were there any "truck/equipment" vendors on site? That'll be the next step to help this grow even more, getting some of our suppliers/vendors involved in the shows with us.

Who's mining truck is that? Yours? Looks great.

I'm hoping to be able to attend next year's event. Is there something coming up in the spring or summer?

Thank you again for the pictures,

Jim

Re: 2018 CABIN FEVER EXPO January 12-14
 

Sure looks like you guys had a good show!

Re: 2018 CABIN FEVER EXPO January 12-14
 

Thanks Skotty, Jjackso/Jim,Egronvold.
If you looking for : model engine , steam engine, boiler, internal combustion, steam tractor, even construction equipment etc..It's all here...they say it's the largest market/auction in the US. Someone sold a fully functional V8 in 1/5 scale.

No rc truck vendors......yet. That will change next CF.

Yes a bigger aria is up for next year. This year we got a few hundred square feet extra. Next year a few thousand is a must.

would like to break new record every year.

The mining truck is Coopers/ Ralph Insane machine.

Yes the turnout this year was tremendous... can't know how many.
252 wheeled/tracked machines in the last counting......not bad....not bad at all.
Blows my mind for sure.
Hope to see you Guys next year.

Re: 2018 CABIN FEVER EXPO January 12-14
 

What, did you guys have a meeting? "Jim from Iowa cant make it out this year so lets get some great looking dirt and have a huge turnout to make him jealous"

Wow, looks like a great show this year!

Re: 2018 CABIN FEVER EXPO January 12-14
 

Jim from Iowa........you were missed.........and your shovel would have loved the DIRT ! and not to forget Longhorn Steakhouse was great this time too.:lol:
