Christy and I won't be Jayhawks any more, but we can't wait to get back to the friends and good times that happen at this rally
I had a great time last year and plan on being there again this year.

I had a GREAT time 2 years ago, in 2022, and would have planned to be there again in 2024, but....if DirtyDR is going to be there this year, that means I have no chance at all of winning the trophy for Best Looking Sidecarist, which means I might as well stay home.

Steve @none, I attended this very good event back in 2022, on my way to Hannigan Sidecars to have my Dream sidecar installed.
The Joyce Canfield's Sidecars in the Flint Hills is a well organized and properly hosted event, that EVERY sidecar owner/operator in the Western Hemisphere should attend.
Given that you, Steve, probably live closer to the location of this Joyce Canfield's Sidecars in the Flint Hills than 99.314159 % of us, there is absolutely no excuse for you not to attend.
They have a perfect location, especially for those that want to camp, great campsites, great bathrooms close to the campsites.

BTW, because I know that no one else on planet earth has come up with this idea yet....if a hackster was true to form, they could make a really nice trip/excursion/vacation/holiday out of attending both....the Joyce Canfield's Sidecars in the Flint Hills, in Kansas, and then attend the PenNY Hackers Campout in Clarington, Pennsylvania.
The distance between the two events is roughly 1,100 miles. I say...roughly...only if you are on a Ural or BMW powered rig. But if you are on a Yamaha, or Honda, or Suzuki...or even a H-D powered rig, then it wouldn't be "roughly"...would it ? It would be smoothly.
sometimes I qwack myself up
The Joyce Canfield's Sidecars in the Flint Hills, in Kansas is listed above, and the PenNY Hackers Campout in Clarington, PA is listed as:
PenNy Hackers Campout, In the heart of Cook Forest, northwestern PA, September 19-22, 2024
Therefore, attend the Joyce Canfield's Sidecars in the Flint Hills, in Kansas on September 5 - 8...then scoot your sidecar rig up to the PenNY Hackers Campout in Clarington, PA on September 19 - 22.
That gives even the slowest sidecar pilot 11 days to go 1,100 miles. Think of it...even all the Ural sidecars in the World could make that 1,100 miles in 11 days.
That's all I have to say on that
