Hot and dusty. Can't speak for the Friday arrivers, but not too much Deere on Saturday. Did not hear of any 'finds' like Jesse's Liquifire last year.
I saw Jesse, JDJR, Steve Tabor, Duane, Mitch, and a few others I don't know right off hand.

Lots of deals on dirt bikes and mid '90s Polaris Sleds and parts.

In the off brands (but related by at least engine brands), there were 4 Interceptors on a trailer and 1 more a couple rows over. There was also a real nice (300 original miles, been in storage since '76) Raider Double Eagle that could have been had for $1200.

There was an outstanding looking Dator air box on display , but then having never seen one before, I'm not really qualified to judge!

Four Interceptors?? WOW. Somebodies college fund on tha trailer.

Hey Kenny,

Not a ton of Deere stuff there, but Mitch did have a trailer full of sleds and parts for sale. I did buy a beat 80 Liqufire chassis and lot of parts for spares for my vintage racer project. Also picked up lots of Cat parts like bars and controls and then some spares for the old beat to death Sno Pro 440 I still race once in a while.

I had a great time visiting with Tom Rowland, Tabor, Jesse, Mitch, and the bunch of VS guys I ran into. Looks like the NY Posse will hit Hay Days next year after doing Princeton two years in a row, after doing Hay Days two years before that.

Later Liquidator,

Gee, thanks Joe. I guess I don't count.

Hey Duane,

I knew I was going to forget a few names...oops. I did visit with Duane's booth O'Polaris parts, but was chased away by a rabid 11 year old. I also did some trading with Jim Tradup and dropped off one of my black Deere ATV helmets to Jim for a special paint job for the Vintage Challenge.

I know there are other names I am forgetting, but the acute lack of sleep for nearly a week will do that. Ran into a few Deere sled buyers that didn't know about the site and invited them to visit us...

Great- you just got Nick and Adam. Those poor, poor defenseless chaps. Just trying to make a buck or two by picking up a haul job or 20. Joe, had nothing to do with it. Again, poor poor Nick and Adam.
Now that's a load of BULL. Great job, they probably deserved it.

I was told it was Rainvilles truck by the cameraman(accomplice)....

You just can't get good help these days...

[69camaro]

Cruelpaul, that is freakin hilarious. I wish I would have remembered my camera. I look over and there is my crazed 11 year old standing on a 5-gallon pail next to that same Diesel truck with his pants half down his butt saying "I wonder if this will help Joe's fuel milage.

...notes for next years trip to Hay Days:
1 ) Buy locking Diesel cap
2 ) Stop wondering where the "Cruel" part of the nick name came from
3 ) Purchase and use TAZER on Duane's offspring, and possably on Duane if he has more kids
4 ) Cover NY plates on truck and trailer
5 ) Do not bring new trailer to Princeton as old one keeps getting new dents and tears there from folks that can't drive
6 ) Give Nick and Adam key to locking Diesel Cap
7 ) Bring underfed, slightly rabid guard dog on long leash
8 ) Bring decoy "GOOSE" stickers for trailer
9 ) Verify if NYS pistol permit is valid in MN
10 ) Don't speak to Nick (Lynxer) unless he brings Leslie (Ms. Lynxer)
