    How about a California Steel Soldiers Rally at a great spot?

    How about a California Steel Soldiers Rally at a great spot?

    Thanks for your support! I have gotten four pretty positive replies. The date and length of the event (weekend? 4 days? 3 days?) is open as of now but would be decided by general consensus of the interested parties (like you). I did not want to conflict with the schedule of folks who are...

    How about a California Steel Soldiers Rally at a great spot?

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful suggestion. I have looked into the MVPA and MVCC in the past but I guess I like a less structured atmosphere and have had difficulties after joining clubs in the past. I have seen the snobbish and cliqueish behavior of others from military vehicle purists...
