The HET!
First, I want to thank Mitchell Putz for letting us enjoy his big truck! I had a blast, and the HET made my weekend!
So back at the ranch, Kvrazelm923 was sizing things up....
I learned that one feels mighty powerful at the winch controls of a M1070!
And then... the M1070...
At the Museum of the American G.I.
My general observation at the Museum was that there were only a fraction of the vendors we've seen in prior years. However, I believe the living history camps were a lot better this year. (Note, I had to leave the Museum early and didn't get a lot of...
The Convoy....
On Saturday, we have a police-escorted convoy from the Brazos Valley Offroad Ranch (where we camp) to the Museum of the American G.I. Our rally is timed each year to coincide with the Museum's annual living history weekend. After spending several hours at the Museum, we convoy...
2018 TX MV Rally Multimedia Posts
Yikes, it has taken me 3 weeks to post pictures and videos from the rally! There's no excuse for that!
Let's start with pictures of the camp site:

I’m sorry to hear it, but certainly understand how life can get in the way of a fun weekend!
I was looking forward to meeting you. One of these days, I’d like to drive down for the monthly San Antonio get-together.
Hopefully someone will drag your new motor home. Good luck!
Diddo... Looks like my Deuce won’t make it this year either.
There’s an engine in the classifieds. GL sold a bunch a couple years back. I purchased one at the same time as M35A2-AZ. It’s in my truck now and runs well...
Well, I may show up in the POV.
While checking out the Decue this morning, I noticed that it has a leaking hard break line. I’m not sure if it will get fixed before next Friday.
Either way, MV or POV, I’ll be there.
Hermannator - Bringing a generator is OK. Some folks do and some don’t. There is a building at the Offroad Ranch that has power and full bathrooms.
Thank you for the power sharing offer. I’m good without power, but I won’t speak for everyone else.
We will get access to the Offroad Ranch at 17:00 that Friday afternoon. If you get to the College Station area early, Lincoln (nofearnohope) may be able to arrange a staging area until 17:00 if needed.
We’ll have mud at the rally... Just say’n....
Mik - The SS group will convoy to the Museum on Saturday where we will have reserved parking for our group. In past years, Lincoln has been able to get a police escort for the convoy to and from the Museum. The convoy through College Station (with a police escort) is one part of the weekend...
The rally is less than a month out, and I'm getting excited! It's great to see the usual group is returning. It wouldn't be a Texas Rally without y'all!! I'm also glad to see a number of people posting that this will be their first time to attend. I always enjoy meeting other SS members...
I just started a buy/sell/trade thread for the Rally (https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?176738-2018-TX-MV-Rally-Buy-Sell-Trade-Thread&p=2110180#post2110180).
Because, you know, green iron addicts love to buy, sell and trade....
I look forward to this event every year! I'll be there... and with the goal of sleeping in my trailer for the first time!
Lincoln, thanks for setting everything up.
I can't wait to see old friends and meet new ones!
