3rd Semi-Annual TX MV Rally

[nofearnohope]

I am talking to the owner of the off road ranch and the operations director for the Museum of the American GI here in College Station to get everything set up for our next rally. The dates of the next event will be March 18th-20th. Everyone will need to arrive Friday the 18th so that we are ready to convoy over to the museum first thing in the morning. I will need a semi-definate head count of vehicles attending by January 1st, so I can make sure we have a large enough area to park all our trucks together.

It seems like we just did this.

Colton and I will be there with the M35A2 for camping and the M715 for running around and trips to town.

I'm in
Had a blast this past weekend and it was great to meet several of you.

 

[nofearnohope]

Barrman, look forward to seeing you guys out there again. (Yes it does seem like we just did this. Twice now.)
Cyrus, you don't count since you don't own an MV.

 

[nofearnohope]

Cyrus, you don't count since you don't own an MV.

Everyone is welcome to attend this event, whether you have an MV or not. Cyrus and I are co-workers and great friends. I only need a vehicle count if you are bringing an MV.

You gonna try making the drive this time?

You gonna try making the drive this time?

So far...
The dates look good,
The distance is do-able,
The desire is STRONG,
The ARK should be mechanically ready....

So the short answer at this point is YES - CONVOY UP

Well then you should probably leave pretty soon to make that distance.

Oh ye of little faith.....

I'm figuring that as long as I roll out by Ground Hog Day 2011 (Feb. 2nd), I'll have plenty of time to make the mid-March event.

Maybe I could even find, buy, and recover a good M105 Trailer on the same trip

I'm sure this request is premature, but what's the Target Location so I can figure on some mileage, etc.

I will not be able to make it, Austin had a good time this year and learned that we need to isulate the floor of the deuce bed. The wife booked us on a 7 day cruise during spring break. I don't like cruises and after seeing this one on tv, I really am not a fan.

 

[nofearnohope]

Eric, sorry to hear that you won't be able to make it. Maybe you'll come down with a "horrible" 24 hour bug right before ya'll leave.
I also saw some really good ideas for warming the bed of our trucks when camping in the cold in this thread.

[pistolnut]

I'm planning on coming. I'll bring a road-worthy MV this time, hopefully my upgraded M-715 (currently under constructions) or my deuce (rough but doable).

I had a great time last weekend, I've been to the museum event nearly every year for the last several years, nice swap meet and lots of cool WWII hardware.

After talking to the owner of the off road ranch and the director of operations at the museum, we are good to go for this rally. As mentioned before, if you plan on attending, I need a headcount and MV count as soon as possible.

 

[historyfanatics]

I will try to make it also. Not planning on takine my deuce off road.

It depends on when we get the gun mount installed.

Offroading is not a must do. You are more than welcome to ride along with someone else.

I'm attaching the artwork for the last rally and want to find out if anyone would like a different design or layout for the upcoming rally in March. I'd like to have them ready so we can wear them to the museum open house so we look like a group.

 

[pistolnut]

The drawings and layout look great! My only suggestion is to spell out Texas and "Military Vehicle" so that anyone seeing the shirt will immediately know what its about.
