Google Maps says about 4 1/2 hours. That is, if you take Interstate 80. That would be the East / West route. Our interstate speed limit is 70 mph, but my observation is that the "out of state" folks sure seem to be in a hurry to get through the state. I set my cruise at 70 and they pass me...
I will still keep you on my email distribution list - just so you will know what you missed.
You could come over the weekend before - or the weekend after, but there won't be so much to see. :-D
No, it is just a really big Mule and Jeep. :naner:
Well, the truth of the matter is - yes, I know quite a bit about that piece. I built it. It is a one-half scale 6 pound field artillery piece on a Pattern of 1840 carriage. It is the one I carry on the Mule in parades...
BA-DA BA-DA BING BANG RALLY May 22, 2016 SUBJECT: After Action Report (2016) This was the second year for this event. For information concerning the origin of the event and other particular items concerning this event, refer to the After Action Report for 2015.
There were 26 pieces of...
It has been a busy afternoon. There are already four vehicles parked in the Armory garage. I had to bring my Jeep home and park it in my garage here.
Nothing like some big trucks with trailers pulling into the parking lot to get people to stop and see. I asked them to please stand aside so...
I haven't posted anything on here, so I thought I should do that.
We are five days out from the 2nd annual BA-DA BA-DA BING BANG Rally and things are still coming together.
I received a phone call yesterday while sitting in the barber's chair. We gained another two (possibly three, if he can...
If you are on my email list for the latest information on the BA-DA BA-DA BING BANG Rally, you need to check your email. I sent out another message this morning.
If you are not on my email list - and you want to be, send me a PM. I will add you to the list.
An organization I am associated with (the group that owns the Armory) has a Face Book account (https://www.facebook.com/atlanticrockislandsocietyenterprise?fref=ts). I don't even do Face Book.
Back in the day, I used to shoot things that went "tweet" - to feed the cats and hone my marksmanship...
I believe Google Maps uses the current local speed limit - so that could be up to 80 mph in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.
If you are going to bring your truck, you might need to do some mechanical "improvements" to it - before you leave. :driver:
Probably better call me before you leave. I...
You are most certainly welcome to come on down.
According to Google Maps, it is only 3,597 miles.
It says you can make it in 61 hours.
I don't know, if that includes rest stops. :smile:
Yes, I know the date will be a problem for some. All I can say is that there is only one Armed Forces Day per year and it seems like a good day (and others must agree) to have a rally. Sorry about that.
I must be very careful on this. I don't know what I am supposed to do, when I want to go...
OK. I am going to do this again this year - 2016.
Best to start another thread - or just continue with this one?
Oh, by the way, the date this year is May 21st.
Yes, I know, but there is only one Armed Forces Day in the year. (Most likely those folks heading to Ohio / Maryland won't be...
Thanks - that is something they taught me in the Army. If you stick around long enough (in my case 25 years), you are bound to learn something.
Honestly, I never even looked for a sticky. Should I start one? :grin:
I have so many things on my plate, that I have to write things down. I...
I just sent a five page Microsoft Word document to all the folks that were on my Distribution List for this event. It is the After Action Report (AAR for you former Army types) - lessons learned, statistics, things to fix, etc.
It is a little large to post here, but if you would like me to...
