Memorial day weekend at the liberty memorial kansas city 2013

[MWMULES]

May 25th to 27th Everyone is invited to our annual Memorial Day meet at the only NATIONAL WWI memorial in the US. We start setting up Saturday afternoon and go through Monday. Sunday night we have front row seats for a huge fire works display, (last year they shot it in reverse) as the Kansas City Symphony plays down the hill from us. Camping on site but no RV hook ups. Some of us Monday will drive a few blocks to the KC Vietnam Memorial for their ceremony. You do not need to be a member of the MVPA to show up and display your MV, even modified are welcome. I will have the TFK I will have the TFK set up and
serve free breakfast Sunday and Monday.

I will atleast stop by. Hopefully I can stay a while.

Depending on my travel schedule I may have the deuce's radiator in the shop gettin fixed. It has a little leak.

I'll try to boondock it on up there in my M151 on Monday depending on when I get back in town. It's small and can slink in somewhere pretty easily. Most of the rest of my stuff is in the midst of it's post East Wind PMCS so is not really in fit to show form.

Did just get the smoke generator put back together though... I'll bet we could horrify half the city with that one.

I guess I'll ask about the elephant in the room while we are at it:

Is "everyone" welcome out there or just local MVPA approved folks?

 

[MWMULES]

As in the past everyone is invited.

I took the day off I hope to make it up there. But with out a mv.

 

[Aswayze]

Excellent, I just wanted to make sure

Edit: Going to tie up the remaining repair work on the M151 and plan to be out with that little monster for sure on Monday morning.

Hope to see you there, BTW weather looks great for this week end.

Trying to get some other weekend details finalized (another M151 for East Wind) but it is looking like I should be back in town by Saturday night so I may scoot on up for a bit on Sunday as well. I'll need to pull the top down on the 151 stuff the radios on board and load on all the slinky sneaky canvas. Can't be having the 151 looking all frumpy for the public you know.

 

[MWMULES]

If you make it down Sunday AM I'll have a batch of SOS and biscuits in the TFK.

 

[Aswayze]

Shoot you know me. There's no food at my house and Liberty Memorial is about as close as most decent breakfast restaurants!

 

[KCclay]

Always a good show and good food to. Everyone should come enjoy the weekend!

 

[davesgmc]

I'll be there.

I'll try to get the old laddy out of bed early enought, to make it up for that.

 

[Flyingvan911]

I fly out Monday for work but I'll try to get but Sunday. The deuce's radiator is still at the shop.

 

[MWMULES]

We really don't set up till late Saturday/early Sunday morning but at 13:00 some of us went up by the memorial to get a group picture. My SS banner (thanks Doc) got hay wire on my ac unit then my camera wacked out! Had about 12 more MV's roll in later in the day. Got to get up early to get the biscuits in the oven and the SOS cooking.

 

[jasonjc]

Well I made it there and back today. Spent more time on the road than anything. Great place to go see, need to go back and spend some more time there.

 

[jasonjc]

One more vid some pepole get all the fun

 

[Flyingvan911]

Nice.

 

[MWMULES]

Wow went down early this morning to do breakfast had watched the weather, storms to the north and maybe a chance of light rain bands which would move through quickly. Yea right lying weather dude, started raining light at 8:15 then wammo 1" an hour for the next 2 got 2.7 by noon! Camera dead no photos. Well one, browning ground beef for the SOS stole these from someone else. Tried 5 different times to finish getting the desert paint done on the truck but outside with 15MPH winds it was a no go.
