I'll be there too, obviously! And my brother, John, from Texas will be with us this year. He'll be driving one of our rigs.
Ed, I think we should do a convoy this year. I missed having one last year. Even though it was so darned hot! It would have been more fun driving than sitting under the...

It's a 6x6 just like a deuce with a pass through axle, except the transfer case only engages and disengages the front wheels. There is no high or low range. It's entirely M151a2 MUTT drive train & suspension.

I wanted to post about my new *Mystery* vehicle. I am only going to say two things about it. And hopefully it'll peak your interested enough to get some new faces to the Rally this summer.
~First - It is a *very* good chance you will NEVER have seen one like it (or even heard about it ever)...
