Some friends who are in my local Jeep club will be camping at Baden Lake and will be hitting the trails all weekend (except for Saturday when they will stop by to visit us at the Farmpark...).
I had a friend ask about this year's event and so I poked around and didn't see anything on here about the 2021 dates, but I spotted the following on the Farm Park's website:
"We are excited to announce that the 8th Annual Military Vehicle & Gun Collectors Show will be returning to Denton...
A big shoutout to Guy for providing goodies that we gave away to folks who attended and that we used for prizes after the Saturday night supper, especially for the stove that was presented to Steve and Laura.

I've been collecting photos that have been posted by folks who attended from various places on the internet and have combined them into a collection on Flickr...linked to the event's webpage.

Just a reminder to get fuel on your way in since the nearest pumps are in the town of Madison...
Cell signals are week at best (unless you are on top of the mountains or about five miles down the road...so plan on being out of touch or using "voip" (we do have rather nice internet service now...
You still have time to register in advance for the Graves Mountain Trailrides and Rally held in Virginia over Labor Day Weekend (September 3-7, 2020) Not only do we have plenty of room for everyone to spread out in the camping field, cabins and motel rooms, but we have forty miles of mountain...
I also have six 1100r20 tires with decent tread mounted on five ton rims... Not perfect, but good. Took them off a truck when I put newer rubber on it... Great for spares or for the budget minded individual who isn't afraid to run less then perfect tires (for a real bargain basement...
I found the box with the old style generators, and a bunch of lantern mantles, and some other pieces for lanterns, but not the big box of stove parts that had pump and tank pieces... Still looking while cleaning up the basement...
This does bring up the fact that I have eight or so Coleman...
Event T Shirts
Prices will depend on the final costs, but should be about the same as last year. Chuck will have them for sale in the registration/HQ tent.

Your memory is good... Karl had his Jeep in the back of his M813 in 2016 since the Halftrack took up all the space on his trailer...
More photos are on the event's Flickr page (links from the event website...).
FWIW: I should mention that we have a multi-level loading dock on the property very near the event field that can be used for unloading/loading Mules, Jeeps, and other items, from the back of cargo trucks and trailers...
Thanks for starting the thread!
I see that you are not the only one to have posted items (and I will add a post of my own as soon as I figure out what I have that needs a new home...).
For those that need assistance in finding threads...
We had a great 4th of July weekend working on the trails and celebrating the USA...
Had eight folks working on the trails, all of whom will be sporting Trail Crew shirts at the rally.
