Hey everyone,

I really want to make the trip to Carlisle. This is such a historic event. I have one problem. My son graduates from high school that weekend....Go figure! I obviously have to be there for that. My plan so far is to do the Pinto Stampede from Oregon to PA and I can be at the show for Friday. I would have to fly back to California on Saturday to be sure to make the graduation on Sunday. Then fly back out to Carlisle the following Monday or Tuesday to get the car and head back to the west coast. I'll probably stop at the Henry Ford Museum on the way home.
The flights and hotels are pretty reasonable right now and I could book in advance. Are any of you going to be there through Monday or Tuesday or know where I could store my Pinto till I get back? I would also need someone to care for my car at the show for Sat and Sun. I may have a good friend from NJ coming out who may be willing to hang out with my car while I'm gone. I could book my room for the nights I'm not there and let someone use it.
Also, do we have to take the cars back to our hotel every night, or do they stay at the show overnight?

Ok, then I will definitely need someone to drive it to the hotel or wherever....ca refully 

your best option would be get a camping site ( $30) and park the car there  the car can stay there until monday it is onsite and no one bothers the cars as there are people  moving around all hours  of the day and night.  i  may be camping again this year  but even if i don't i will get a camping  site  even if it just for  the club to use  any more questions i will be glad to answer

Hey Phil, that's a good idea. I have a nice new 8 man tent I have used once. Maybe that's the way to go. Do they have facilities/showers and stuff there? I'll look online.

Gosh, Joe - I wish I could help you out but I'm going to be dealing with the exact same circumstances!  Fortunately, I'm only a 3 - 4 hour drive from Carlisle so I plan to be there for the opening day, go home for Cody's graduation, and then return for the close of the show.  School hasn't started here yet (next Tuesday's the day!) so not sure of the graduation date but it is normally held on Saturday.  At this point it is questionable as to whether I'll have my Pinto at Carlisle or not.  If I do, I will trailer it there and leave it all weekend so I can use the tow vehicle to make the trip home for the graduation ceremony.

Phil, I live right by Highway 76 in beautiful Oceanside, California! If nothing else, the road noise will provide the "white noise" I require to sleep! lol. :lol:

Sounds like camping is the way to go, I will look into both options for the trip in.  Once at Carlisle please come by the Sleep in after hours, we will have a hospitality suit for talk, snacks, etc. It should be a nice way to end each day..  :welcome:
