I'm undecided about attending this year. It's a tight fit with my work schedule. Hauling the MKT over and setting it up isn't worth the effort to me if there aren't a bunch of folks camping in the Steel Soldiers area who want to partake of my cooking... I skipped last year, only the second...

One of the best weeks that I had traveling was with Ron when we helped move a buddy from NJ to NE... Ron and I bobtailed a M915 back to NJ and he had me in stiches for the entire trip (minus one hill where we were really glad that he fixed the Jake brake before we hit the road...). I'll...

I put my photos and some that I snagged from others who attended on the event photo page located at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/124394777@N06/collections/72157723099437663/

Thanks for posting the photos! It's great seeing where everyone went over the weekend, especially since we have such a variety of trails and places for folks to drive and visit. Hope to see you again at the event next year!

With folks arriving and Chuck manning the HQ tent, I'm having a Mint chocolate chip shake at the Syria Merchantile.

John, Jane, and Mike from SC have arrived. James, Matt, and the Harlow's are also here and setting up camps (with well mided hounds). Tent raising at 0800 tomorrow!

Blake and Chopper have arrived!

Chuck and I assembled the HQ tent and positioned the HQ trailer and signs today. We are meeting for breakfast at Syria store tommorrow at 0800 Then we will be opening the back gate to the event field and putting up the Burma Shave signs.

Two reminders: 1) The closest fuel is 12 miles from the Lodge in Madison, so get gas/diesel on your way in.... 2) When you come to the event, keep an eye out for Chopper... and other four legged friends... Well minded furry family members are always welcome to attend and enjoy the event and...

I believe that you are talking about this photo... I miss Neil... A similar photo exists of me driving my XM708 through the water with the windshield down... Just after the photo posted was taken, a wall of water came up over the cowl such that not only could I not see to drive, but one...

Just a reminder for folks attending the event that the Madison County Historical Society has the mountain museum in Criglersville (near Lindsey Lane with the low water crossing and pedestrian swinging bridge (set to be demolished by the State) open on Sundays. If you are making a road ride...

Good luck with the PM and we look forward to seeing you soon.
