Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Sounds good. Central Nevada is fine and COOLER is a plus.I would like to have a meet here in Nevada this summer maybe a camping trip?

What's the date in May. I'll be at the MVCC Gathering in Petaluma from April 23-29.We're headed to Overland Expo in May. Venue is just north of Flagstaff, so it should be cool at night.

I'm in Hawthorne. We could meet up in Fallon and head over Hwy 80 and Donner pass and pick up BigMike and speedfellon, and then convoy on Hwy 5 to Lodi/Tower Park. I'll be going Sept. 17-23. If you haven't been there before you'll love it. And we'll be back at Tower Park in April of 2019. ALSO if you don't have a reservation call JoAnn Lesser ASAP at 408-238-8277. It's also easier to register and get a space if your a MVCC member. If your not, JoAnn Lesser can help you out.I'm in Fallon. Just acquired my 1972 M35a2 from Mooresville, Indiana to Fallon, Nevada,great drive....lol, and got it registered....was that a process!
I'm probably going to the Sept. meet in Lodi, CA. any chance of a convoy??

You probably did. Going West over Donner Pass there are a couple grades where I have to down shift to 4th, one of them is just before the Cal. State Inspection stop. Coming back going East, there are about 3 grades where I have to drop down to 3rd for a short distance. It's about 30mph, so just stay in the right lane with your flashers on. On the flat land I run 45 to 50mph., that way it's easier to keep the Convoy together, plus it saves wear and tear on the trucks.That sounds like a plan! Donner seems intimidating but I think I climbed bigger coming out of Laramie or Wendover? Would Fernley be on your way....don't want you to backtrack?
On the reservation thing.....is it by space or?? I'm not a member of MVCC yet, gotta get that done.
Thanks for the replies....
Alan...…...you have to make it.I live in Grass Valley CA. Not sure if I will make Lodi yet.But If so I could meet along hwy 80 (Colfax, Auburn area).
yes, Alan, you have to make it.Alan...…...you have to make it.
Wow, sounds good. I was running 55 to 57 on the flats but I've got 395's on....and my RPM's don't work,lol.You probably did.

I usually go north on 95 from Hawthorne to Fallon to Fernley, then West on 80 to Sparks/Reno over Donner Pass to Auburn to Sacramento, South on the 5 to Lodi, and West on 12 to Tower Park. When you speak with JoAnn Lesser about a space, ask her if she can get you a spot near Sonny Hanson. Sonny has a M135 and we try and keep all the big trucks together. If your married and your spouse would like to attend, please do so. speedfellon and BigMike bring their wives, and my wife will be there. I have our M105A2 converted to a camper as does speedfellon. BigMike and his wife will be staying at a B__ B__ Bungalow (cabin). But you can also pitch a tent. I have to warn you, if you go once, you'll want to go to every Spring and Fall.
01. Finally got my M1025 registered in Reno so will be looking out for places to go. I have been traveling on some back roads near Boca Lake, CA.Just looking for others in the State of Nevada. It would be good to know where you're at what you have. I've know I've seen a few of you driving around in Reno; just wondering if you frequent this site? Matter of fact, it was July 4th, I was in my Deuce travelling North on Virginia headed to downtown Reno and you were in a Deuce going the other way! We surprised each other by our mere presence and blowing those air horns.
I've seen a few of you folks on here who are in the Southern Nevada area, but please check in anyway!
1. Where do you like go off road?
2. Do you participate in MV displays, parades, Veteran's events, etc?
3. Do you offer pick-up at the local area GL sites to help others?
4. Most important- what MV's do you have?
