Hmmm, sunny Florida in February? Ok, I'm in provided the interstates through Montana and Wyoming aren't closed due to blizzard.
I will be arriving in my 2008 F-450 with a slide in camper in the back. Towing a trailer with my FC 150 on it. If the 53 Powerwagon gets done in time I will bring that as well. Perhaps I can send that new fangled twin turbo 6.4 liter diesel to an early grave. Neither are MV's but the M54 would require a serious injection of motivation (which the owner lacks) to be done in time.
If anyone is interested in kicking off the festivities a few days early we could meet on the 17th for the 50th running of the Daytona 500. Using my industry connections I could get a small group (40 to 50 tops) in at no charge. We would be very, very trackside. Like the garage and the pits. If interested post here.
Mr. Devilman96, if the above offer interferes with your plans or you don't like it for some reason feel free to delete that part of the post. I would not want to step on your toes.

Lots of pics were posted under Florida Round Up in the upcoming events thread. You'll see that the Pinz's outnumbered american steel by nearly three to one

Since I am back among the ranks of the gainfully employed and financial disenfranchisement has been staved off I plan on being there. 
We should make plans to link up at various points and convoy in together on a specified day if possible.
I lothe I-75 and will prob not get on it until Valdosta. My tolerence for knuckle dragging, mouth breathers between Hotlanta and the state line is limited.
You can prob count on Freight Train too. The boy is like a good hound dog, you crank up the truck and he is there wagging his tail ready to go.
I will be bringing all the necessary ingredients to make real southern sweet tea, a treat that for some reason is rarely available in Florida.
Maybe Jim will bring the inflatable shelter or let me borrow it.
By the way, just how swampy and buggy is this place. I got skeeter netting and ain't afriad to use it.
Do we need to bring water for hygine and cooking purposes.
This has all the makins of a good time.

Jus did a little weight checking on my proposed load. The Bigfoot slide in camper comes in at a staggering 4,700 pounds wet! 
The trailer large enough to carry both the FC 150 and the Power Wagon weighs 5,200lbs (it's an equipment trailer). The FC 150 is going to tip the scales at close to 3,000 pounds and the Power Wagon will weigh close to 5,000 lbs. That brings a towed weight of 13,200 pounds plus a 4,700 pound slide in camper. Add in some spare parts, tools, clothes, and the like and this will be a serious load for my pick up. It will be interesting to see just how tough that 6.4 diesel is. Seeing as how it's under warranty I plan to "drop the hammer" set the cruise at 80 and see what happens. Looking forward to meeting you fine gentleman.

Hey D-man,
Will it be possible to get an RV out to the camp site? I may ride in no A/C, but I like to sleep in it.

Thank you for updating the first post with a Q & A. Very informative. I will bring extra fuel for my generator so I will have electricity for the entire event. Have to have the A/C, satellite TV, microwave, and such. Don't want to get too primitive and uncivilized. The two vehicles I'm planning to bring on the trailer are/will be trailer queens. Strictly for show, no four wheeling or mudding. However they are very nice to look at and I'm sure the other participants will appreciate them. If there is to be a trail ride I can drop the landing gear on the camper and use the F-450. It is four wheel drive and has traction tires. Should prove quite adequate. I do have a M38 that I picked up last week but it's not even in the shop yet. Maybe for a rally later on next year I will be able to arrive in an MV.
