PNW-2010-Second Annual Chehalis River Valley MV Convoy/Camp-Out

[Hammer]

It won't be too much of a load.
Truck weighs a little over 20k.
Trailer weighs 10k.
I imagine that I will have around 5k on the trailer.

So a total of 35k rolling.
The trailer can handle 35k more payload!!!

what you going to haul? i do know for this rally if i dont get it done at the airshow i need both door handles adjusted and my parking brake needs adjusted

 

[Alex400]

how long do you guys think the convoy trip is going to take? Just a couple of days ago i got a musical gig that has it's second show in yakima at 7:30pm. I really want to come down for the convoy, but i need to know that i will be able to get back in time.

 

[Hammer]

I would think you should have plenty of time. But I am not entirely sure how long it takes to drive out to yakima from here.

 

[ABN173]

by MV it should take 3-4 hours from FT Lewis, it takes us 4 by convoy if that helps any

Guys, my inbox was full so I started deleting stuff, one of you PNW members sent me a request for stencils but I accidentally deleted the msg. Please resend the request to me if you still want them by the rally dates.

 

[Alex400]

well i guess what i was meaning was that we leave aaron's at like 0930 for the parade and then we drive 76 miles or so. but i don't know what kind of speed we will be holding through that mileage. Hammer do you have an idea of how long our convoy trip will take.

Dale, it does take a while to get back over to yakima via i-90. I just google mapped it and if i take us-12 it should take about 2.5-3 hours to get there. that's not bad. if i was able to leave by quarter to 4 or so that would be perfect.

Hey Alex. I would plan 3 hrs from here to Yakima on US12. The big question I can't answer for you is what time we will be ending the parade and then beginning the convoy.

 

[AaronW]

Head count.

We are getting really close fellow SS'ers. So close in fact, that it's time to make a logistics run for Saturday night chow.

Please review the list from Mike's post. If you are confirmed for the Convoy AND bringing a guest(s) please let me know ASAP the total number in your party. If you were here last year and your party will be the same, disregard. I will plan for the same number in your party from last year.

WE NEED MORE TRUCKS!!!!(yelling) There is still time for those of you waiting in the wings to jump in and be part of the fun. It's not too late till

[REO 54]

So,in preparation for the PNW Rally,hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew!Well,I guess I can finish up last minute details on the ferry ride over.

 

[REO 54]

Oh,forgot to mention that I'm going after the paint 'cause the previous owners rolled & bushed white latex house paint over most of the truck!That stuff on metal is moisture sponge out here in the salt air.Truck came from Lincoln Co,Wa.

 

[wsucougarx]

Ahh, REO you've got plenty of time

 

[REO 54]

You know how it goes.You keep "touching" more areas.....sheesh.Most importantly though,did the brake and engine maintenece.Now it's the cosmetic stuff.Gotta do my rims as well!.At least the weather is good for the outdoor rattle can paintshop!

Way to go elk. See you in a week.

 

[Varyag]

Sweet! I will be meeting up with quartz too. Our own little convoy is forming in Kennewick.

Hey Alex. I would plan 3 hrs from here to Yakima on US12. The big question I can't answer for you is what time we will be ending the parade and then beginning the convoy.

Ok, thanks Aaron. Depending on when the parade ends will determine how long I can follow you all on the convoy. if i hit US 12 by 1545 or 1600 i think i will be fine. I am excited!!!

 

[srodocker]

i may have my brothers for the parade part. but not for the rest of the day. and gf is still up in the air if she wants to go. and did i see alex with a m35a2 on the parade list and brad as a possible?

Yeah, I am going to drive Aaron's '67 in the parade while he drives his '71 and his father-in-law drives the M109. It's a nice drivin' truck. I don't quite have my own yet! Wish i did/could. I think it would be a bit much right now. lol This whole school thing is throwing a wrench in it.

 

[Kaiserjeeps]

I am confirmed along with my GF Liz. We will be arriving Friday evening in my Duece about 8ish. I stayed up late sewing 2 sets of these. Looks like I can get the spring ride seats in now.
