There is no fee involved for anyone to join along. Last Nov. everyone that I'm aware of, participated in the events that he scheduled for us. Then at night back at the lodge, everyone broke into different groups and had dinner when and where they wanted. If the next morning's meeting is say 10am, then if you want to join up, be there. If not, then you are free to do whatever you'd like that day.
One of the best parts about these gatherings are the group participations. It's about meeting and talking with everyone, pictures, driving for 110 miles on twisting back roads in a line one behind the other, stopping at preplanned picture spots for more group photo's, taking over some side of the road eatery with an invasion of Crossfires, things like that!! If you've never put together one of these GTG's, you have no idea on this earth the time and effort that is involved. I know for a fact that he's put in over 50 hours that had nothing to do with the time he's spent on the forum. He's made numerous trips up there, drove many many back roads looking for photo spots, a bathroom break spot, a place to make sure that everyone is still there and not lost someplace, finding knew roads that we could drive that would be different than the Nov trip. I know this because I've spent hours on the phone and PM'ing back and forth with him on different ideas. I know Bill does this GTG for the same reasons that I do the ones in Orlando, it's fun for everyone. We like our Crossfires and we've like all the new friends that we've made since owning them. After going in April, you'll get back home, log onto our forum, and you'll see a post from someone you met, and now you know the person behind that screen name. It'll just make the trip that much more worth while.
Come and join along, you won't regret the trip.
My many thanks go out to Silverfox for all the effort he's put into this GTG.
yeah bill is a marine that should answer a lot of the questions about the schedule lol. but i must disagree with toy that if you dont show up to the meet bill will come and beat on your door lol and tell you to just get in the car when you dont even have pants on lmfao! no i just over slept, this is all in good fun and i swear that the nov. meet is the main reason some of the people on here dont hate me as much lol. its a hell of a lot of fun and the most fun ive had in my xf! this event is bills baby and he's watching grow, he is not a tuner at all so the fact that he had never heard of tvt does not suprise me in the least, and he is just trying to protect the members that do show up from some sleave ***** selling snake oil. you pay nothing to him for his hard work and he asks for nothing but that everyone has fun! trust it'll be a good time!
