Carnac you won the Longest Distance Driving a MV award and should be congratulated! Overall you'd have won the Hard Luck Award too had you put in for it (and had I known) although Jim's G506 rear axle coming out a couple feet on the way to the meet was pretty catastrophic. Thanks for the...

Added to original post - MASH 4077 Party at Rosa's at Tower Park restaurant, Saturday night (dress as your favorite character. Prizes).

Back in about 1988 when the April meet was west of Patterson, a bunch of us "convoyed" from Livermore. 10-12 MVs. I was on my Indian. We were going down I-5 at 40-45, most following way too close admiring the vehicle ahead of them, when a CHP cruiser came up the fast lane yelling on the PA at...

Convoys are illegal in CA? I’d like to see the Vehicle Code for that. No doubt the CHP doesn’t like us driving slow AND too close for cars wanting to enter and exit offramps. Imagine a car going 75 past a line of 45 mph MVs and wanting to exit. As for camping at Tower Park, last April was...

Added Jo-Ann's cell number for camping inquiries for the Spring event (for the September version you contact KOA directly to reserve sites)

Major updates up now on the original post, check it out! Also, if anybody wants to publicize convoy details, please contact me at in_garage@hotmail.com. I may not see all posts here or on other SS threads, and won't know what's really going to happen or not, so please confirm via email I will...

We will publicize convoy details (from south, north, wherever) in our original posts here, on the G503.com event forum, www.mvccnews.net, and anywhere else where they give us enough space including the MVCC Newsletter because we have many members in SoCal, Nevada, Oregon. Maybe we can get the...

Our camping coordinator Jo-Ann already has your info and will be in touch. She does most of her organizing about now and as the event gets closer. As you know, KOA does not assign campsites for the Spring event as the do for the September version. Although a full hookup site may be available...

Bigmike is right about all that. By Wednesday it's getting busy. Some like to get set up before then so they can relax and watch the buildup. Or get bargains. Some who are there a lot of days leave Saturday afternoon but some can't arrive until Friday evening or Sat. morning so are there until...

Here is the latest skinny! The second largest annual MV swap meet in the West is again hosted by the Military Vehicle Collectors of California the third week of September. This is the incarnation of the Woodson Bridge Fall event and is held at the same location as our April meet: Stockton/Delta...

MVCC can mean a number of things. In our case it is Military Vehicle Collectors of California. Used to be the MVPA was called Military Vehicle Collectors Club and we were the "California Chapter of the MVCC" in the 1970s-80s. Then they went to IMVCC then MVPA. At that time we incorporated as...

Holy Cow, from looking at your sig you could have your own MV rally at your place! That Ray Pesante's old M211?

Added info about a UH-1H helicopter appearance (25th Infantry Division Huey) plus interviews by a movie producer for a new Vietnam War documentary to follow his 2009 film, "21 Days and a Wake-Up" which is being sold to TV for release Veteran's Day 2012, the 40th anniversary of the war. MVCC...

The farthest one east. Come off the levee, drive through Campground 2 and the road bends right through a gate that's always open. That is CG 4. The Fall event is smaller and our goal is to try to get people to fill GG4 so KOA doesn't have many sites available to outsiders in "our" area. But some...

I borrowed it from owner Joe Garbarino. He built it to copy a prototype built in 1943 by California Institute of Technology. They supposedly tested these in Italy. CIT did most of the U.S. research on rockets - barrage, air-to-ground, air-to-ship, etc. Lot's of different sizes and shapes. One...
