I have to check and confirm with the club members but the plan was first weekend of August.
May and June are the worst for bugs. No problems in August.

The one thing you might want to do at the border Mark. When we went to Indy in 2012, I went to the customs office the day before the trip and filled out some forms to declare what I was bringing with me. The trucks, trailers and radios I had. That way, when your going home you don't have to fight with them and explain you didn't purchase the stuff while on your trip! No cost, just peace of mind.
And like Mike said.

This would be a dream come true to have a few fellow excavator and dump truck owners come to play.

. With multiple diggers and dumps, we could keep the screener plant working full bore!

Bike trip? I hope you have a trailer to haul some toys.

. Never the less, your definitely welcome to come for a visit with or without

its official, come next spring my RC park will be larger. With my old Impala sold I can take down the 20X12 tarp garage in the back left corner of property.

I've been racking my brain trying to decide what to do with the new space. For the longest time I've wanted to get a few yards of dirt and create an elevated area for the construction equipment.
Problem is, many of my RC friends have highway trucks and not equipment so I've been trying to think of another area that the highway trucks can have a task or haul location for cargo. I was chatting with Bigford the other day when my inspiration came to me

I live in a steel town. The new area will be a steel plant with a loading dock for coils and plate! Im not the most artistic when it comes to making nice looking scale buildings but I feel pretty confident I can make a rusty, rundown looking steel plant with tanks, towers and a blast furnace. ( might have a small fire pit inside to burn leaves in and have smoke out the stack?

)
Anyway, that's the plan. Time to go through the scrap bin at work again with a new perspective.

you will need a coal pit to run the boilers,
and a crane of some sort wouldn't look out of place.
how about a few conveyors delivering coal to a furnace , with a water collection device on top to boil water.
playing with RC trucks and making a coffee at the same time!
cant wait to see what you come up with.

cheers andy

Mikem · #**310** 10-25-2015, 05:25 PM

And to continue Andys thought trains to deliver coal ! Mike

( I was chatting with Bigford the other day when my inspiration came to me)

Don't blame me for anything that happens up north!!!!

Cooper · #**312** 10-25-2015, 05:47 PM

Oh a big pile of dirt in the backyard!?!?? What would anyone want that for??? Well if the plans come together and you are too busy with the building construction , come August you may have to hire some more equipment and operators. I'll have to see if it will be possible to get some work for a d11 up there

I just so happen to have a good supply of ground rubber that can pass as a coal pile and a bruder conveyor looking for something to do! Coffee making sounds good but I think the blast furnace building might hide a beer cooler

Read my mind Mike. As soon as I thought about the steel plant,a rail system came to mind.

I'm so glad we have these discussions! Your absolutely right RW! If there is any chance of my favourite RC dozer coming to my yard, I will do whatever it takes to make sure there is dirt for it to push! Rest assured there will be a pile, plenty other places for the steel plant to go.

..... I'm hungry!

Cooper · #**316** 10-25-2015, 08:27 PM

Well mark and I were talking at the last show, that's two of us, four would make a great motorhome expedition. Room for the toys,,,,

Supermario · #**317** 10-26-2015, 08:43 PM

didnt sleep a wink lastnight...worried about making sure there's plenty of work for coopers beast of a dozer just in case he can make the trip.

I have a better idea than just pushing dirt RW, got some big tree roots that need exposing in the pit area, figured good job for the ripper to figure out where the roots are at and make the excavators life easier. Then, Id like to clean up around the old backyard wood stove area and make things nice for Open pit lawn chairs space........

hmmm , you might need to stay awhile. May as well get a work permit while crossing the border.

Cooper · #**318** 10-26-2015, 08:58 PM

I'm going to try and refurbish the undercarriage. Rollers are getting pretty loose and wheels need new bushings. She got well used and abused this summer. The Riverlot sand soil is great when wet/damp but hard when dry. And it's riddled with roots. That sandy silt is like running in liquid sandpaper. But if it's getting hauled to Canada it will be 100% I cringe at the idea of ever having to make new tracks!!!!!

Supermario · #**319** 10-26-2015, 09:01 PM

Day one in my " steel plant / just some crusty looking factory " .... I think I found my center piece already! A 6" stainless steel exhaust pipe suddenly looks like a smoke stack?....already has the rusted , crusty look to it and haven't touched a thing

bigford · #**320** 10-26-2015, 09:21 PM

coop that 3 of us you think i can get into Canada with out the wife!!!
a week of messing with Mario, i wouldn't miss it!!!
