[mahdey]

We work till 8pm friday night. I'll see if we can close up shop early that day.

If we can get whatever into the truck to be able to bring back for someone I would be happy to do it - safely.

Yep, we will have an F350 Stretch Dually empty (unless I can buy something with my looks) heading back to Columbus, Georgia if we can help anyone. I don't want to get into long term storage of anything though.

PB or Zout either would be great if you can let me know and I will get in touch with Gimpy and arrange payment :)

I can get it to Columbus, Zout can get it to Lilburn.

Thanks guys! Steel soldier express to the rescue!

Wow you got to love it when a plan comes together,

 

[papabear]

I can't go, my cat won't let me.

I relate Brother. I used to be PW'd too.

 

[clinto]

Woo hoo! On our way now. Gotta pick up some stuff tomorrow and then head back to Louisville.

Passing HEMTT's along the way.

It won't be long now. About 2 more years and maybe I can attend one of these. Maybe sooner if they hold in in West Palm Beach. FWIW if it's ever held in WPB, needs to be in Jan or Feb to be tolerable!

They (MVPA) seem to be smart enough to do these events indoors, in air conditioned facilities.

The only downside is that it is in the flight path of one the biggest air cargo hubs in the world. I wonder if it is noisy at night?

 

[Recovry4x4]

As I look out to the east of my current location I see the Broward County Convention Center. It's a super nice facility and security is paramount. It's probably big enough I wager that you could fit 50 of them indoors at KEC. I don't recall the exposition center being that noisy from the UPS hub. Lots of 747s there.

 

[MWMULES]

The MVPA would love to have one on the East coast, but none of the affiliate chapters out there want to host one. Last one East was 2001 Fort Lee, VA. Next year it's and hour from the house!

Then you should talk to the Florida MVPA group. It's up the state chapter to pitch a potential event to the national group and prove they can put it on.

I wish Georgia could get the dukws in a row.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Well, if that's the case then I'll just come to the midwest. I never felt welcome at the FFC and let my membership expire after just one year.

We attend the annual SOS Militaria Show there every winter and stay right across the street. The airport is no problem at all. The flightpaths are to the south.

Word of caution , if you are driving up 65 from Nashville and parts south , give yourself plenty of time , there is LOTS of road construction , down to 1 LANE in some spots north of ETOWN ! We are going in a day early just to give us some wiggle room . We hit a amazing amount of road work this year , guess it's got to get done but ALL at once !!! Time for a cold one !!!

the noise from the airfield (SDF) is not that noticable.. it does not go directly over the fairgrounds.. and speaking of, if you havent seen the fairgrounds in say 5 years? you would not recognize it.. they have majorly expanded the buildings..

We are looking forward to seeing everyone! almost a record amount of vehicles regestered!! and lots of vendors, and they are ALL indoors in the AC!

So the National chapter would like to do one here but none of the clubs are either up to it or want to?
