Barrman, just thinkin out LOUD.....
I'l bring some lawn darts for the kids and maybe water ballons for the youngsters.....
I've got a couple of old Propane tanks we could shoot at.......
Other than that we could just sit around in the light of the campfire and tell stories.....

As always, you don't have to have/bring an MV to attend. Just have a love for all things OD green.

A few updates for the Nov Rally. The owner has had to increase his rates to cover thefts and vandalism on his property. He is still cutting us a huge break since we have been there 3 times already and have never damaged anything. His new rate is $750/night, but he is only charging us $300/night. This is only a $100 increase over the last couple times. I am also in contact with an air unit out of Ft Hood to try and get the helicopters this time that we weren't able to get last November.

 

[OL AG '89]

So $600 for the weekend?
WOW..... I'd let y'all stay on my land for FREE!!!!!
Problem is it's in Northeast Texas..... about 5 hours away.
And no really cool hills.....

We definitely need to recruit a BUNCH of people for this!!
or look somewhere else......

Barrman is getting the rally listed on the Lone Star MVPA site, which should help with attendance.

 

[OL AG '89]

Great idea!!
How about some details at the museum in Bryan and here in Houston?
Anybody object to designing a Flyer for this PARTY???

 

[nofearnohope]

We can let people who "work" at the 2 museums know about it, but we need to be careful who all gets invited since we all have our trucks and possibly the helicopters out there.

 

[OL AG '89]

Understood, I'm not "connected" to the either museum, just putting out suggestions to get attendance of "like minded" individuals...

 

[nofearnohope]

I've checked with the local musaum and they aren't into this kind of thing. I'll check with txdodgeman and see if he can pass the word along down there.

Is anyone a member of the Houston are MVPA?

Is anyone a member of the Houston are MVPA?

I am, but don"t know anything about meetings or anything else. Paid the dues and get the magazine in the mail. That all I know about MVPA. Sorry.

 

[badga the badger]

I dont really like the idea of inviting MVPA people. I'm just thinking that this is a Steel Soldiers rally for Steel Soldiers. I know, be open minded and such, but as nofear stated, we're going to have our trucks and hopefully the helicopters out there. just my

I don't understand how MVPA people would have a negative affect on the weekend. I assume most MVPA member are also on Steel Soldiers.

well, not all. its just having people from outside of the SS community.

I remember the first time we were out there, something about the owner not minding if we knocked down some trees ?
Any chance we could trade some trail widening for part of the weekend's cost ? I wouldn't mind spending 1/2 day cutting and hauling, if it would get us a couple more deuce friendly trails.

I will make a note of the event on the Military Museum of Texas calender and will also talk to the 6th CAV group as I am also a member and they like doing camp outs. The CAV is mostly WWII but they have members with M35's and other M series vehicles. This will always be a Steel Soldier event but by inviting other groups it can open doors to other shows and events that one group does and otheres do not know about.

There isn't a MVPA chapter in Houston that I know of.

They are more than welcome to bring anything they want. It doesn't have to be an M35. Anything WWII would be great.
