and a few more....

The gun truck The Untouchable did not have its front driveshaft installed. It didn't do so well on a turn around in the sand. JT backed up to it and gave it a slow easy tug(lots of wheel hop) back onto hard ground.

The second pic above is some of the Air Force troops that were training out in the sand. We drove into their location and interrupted their training! They enjoyed seeing the historic vehicles. Once they were totally disrupted by us, they were interested in a ride in the Gama Goat. I happily took them( 3 or 4 loads ) for a short ride around the area in the sand. It sounded like they were on a roller coaster ride back there(yeah, I could hear them over the screaming DD). That was fun.

... and a good time was had by all.
I had a good time meeting you all, thanks for the kindness.
Made it home ok, time for a pump, it hardly ran by the time I got home, kept it at 53 the whole way with just one fuel stop.

Our daughter and son in law loved the gun truck

WOW I had a BLAST !!
Of course there was all that eye candy on base

AND OF COURSE TO THE BEST ORGANIZER RLWM211 WHO got all this put together. The contacts, logistics, and the info just to get there. JT helped. ( shameless plug ) Hi John.

Informed the others I hope RLWM211 does it again next year. I can hear it now, SS takes drum by storm !! Great job.

The best part for me was now I can put more faces to the nick names here on the sight. Get to meet them all personal. Great story's and info about the trucks that we all love.

Looks like a fantastic time. The one thing I see, I was always told to remove my hat, cover, helmet when in a cemetery as a sign of respect. Still do and always will.

Rick, That is interesting. I have never heard of that but I can see why it would be considered respectful(and rightfully proper in a cemetery). I'll be looking in to that more.

What a BLAST!!!!!!!!!!

As was already stated, a great time was had by all. Good to hear there will be a 'next year' for this event.

I got home about 1830 and FormerNewMVGuy was parked at his place by 2000. The trip home was uneventful for us as well.

Ft.Drum treated us like KINGS with round the clock showers, restrooms, free ice, guided tours and no hassels.

I'd like to offer up my thanks also to 10th Mtn. Division, The Ft.Drum Museum, NY-Penn, GreenMtn, Comvec, MTA and all the reenactors that put forth so much effort to make this all happen in a short amount of time.

Last but not least, all the SS friends new & old that showed up to show off their stuff, hang out, share some laughs or try out the 'Lazy Boy'.

See ya's there in 2012..

Here is a link for some additional photos taken at the show .
I found the link on the webpage of a local news site. It is a Facebook album but you do not need to log in to see the photos. There are many nice photos of a lot of the vehicles, including vtdeucedriver's truck!

 

[GamaGoatGirl]

Here is one of the pictures at the cemetery that my friend used Photoshop on to remove the CAP group and my nephew in the background. I thought it was kind of neat how it changed the feel of the photo!

 

[rickf]

That is neat, put's it into perspective.

[FormerNewMVGuy]

I had a great time, and had alot of fun hanging out with everybody.
I will say though, my butt didnt want anymore seat time after that 638 mile round trip

Rick, That is interesting. I have never heard of that but I can see why it would be considered respectful(and rightfully proper in a cemetery). I'll be looking in to that more.

Doghead, I did a little searching and found this.
Cemetery Etiquette - IACP, Inc.

It makes no mention of hats so maybe I was told wrong................

I will still remove my hat. Just who I am.
