The plan is that Friday night as well as Saturday night we are planning on closing the main gate at mid-night or so to keep passer bis from just walking in, but there will be port-a-lets brought in for the rally as well as well water is available on sight as well. the museum and all there staff are looking forward to having us and are planning on running one of there APC's around the museum as well as a full on swap meet, we are looking to see if we can get a couple of the local Bar-B-Q shacks to come for the even as well.

Track me down at the even and I'll show any one how wants to learn how to mount and dis-mount tires from two piece rims as well as how to repair tire tubes.
The museum hasn't held an even of this size in 5 years so they are pulling out most of the stops. This will should fun.
Update: You and jkrieg should get along just fine. He will have his m35a2 with s200 com shelter set up with his 25 ft and 35 ft antennas fully diploid. As well as one of his other O.D. Green ham guys will have his full com tent diploid as well.

There will be a donation bucket / box for anyone how wants to thank the museum and there staff for hosting use and allowing use to all have a great time for that weekend. Food will be available for purchase, or you are more then welcome to bring your own. John the owner is going to be giving two lucky members a chance to take a ride around the museum on saturday after noon in his m114 apc, the lucky two member will be picked from a drawing held at 5:00 pm. Tickets for the drawing are $5.00, do to the fact it only gets 2 miles to the gal. of gas, and ours has a 327 SBC in it instead of the original 283 SBC.

April 27-29 2012 are set in stone for this spring dust off rally, john (the owner) has been quite busy this past fall do to the high winds he had to replace nearly 75% of the roof at the museum because the winds where pealing the roof off in secision of 10 and 20 panels at a time. Al-tho I have talked to him now twice scene then and he's really looking forward to having us there. But I'm set to meet with him here in the next month to finish up the last of the detail.
