2025 TX MV Rally

[Barrman]

My M715 has new wheel cylinders which means the brakes now work again. I even got the brake light to function too! Plus a new tube had to get installed yesterday after a flat last weekend teaching people how to drive a manual off road.

I was hoping to trailer it behind the Whistler M35 Like I used to do for these events. I ran out of funds and time to make that happen this year though. The Cowdog will get to be the pulling and sleeping vehicle again.

We should all be gathered this time a week from now.

Do we want to get convoys lined up for Friday?

I'm taking the dark blue route Friday, so I don't know if I'm going to run into anyone. If someone will be available for me to call in case I get lost over there, please message me your number and name or if anyone has somewhere along the route we can meet.



That said, I'll bring my convoy signs for Saturday!

Oh, I'll be leaving around 0800 Friday morning.

@kendelrio you can call me anytime buddy!

 

[Firehound]

The question is, what is he going to call you?

Being as there are language guidelines on the site, I'll stick to "buddy" "friend" and "brother by another mother"....

4 wheelers and ATV's are welcome as well.
We have some woods to ride in, just have to be careful of the cattle. We will be in the southern field above the pond. I will attempt to have markers out like last year.

What is the burn policy? Are having "cold camp" or are Propane cookers welcome? Small campfires?

Can @m715mike bring his guitar without spooking the cattle and being runned off?

Propane cookers are fine. We will have a big campfire in the center of gathering. I would prefer no individual fires in the field.

Guitars and fiddles are welcome, singing is encouraged, but will be monitored closely by the bull.

All good. I may bring mine, but a word of warning, I'm a picker and a grinner and I do more grinning than I do picking!
