[ARYankee]

It's coming up again!!!! The Petit Jean MV Rally put on by the AR MV Travelers. It is happening Sept. 20 - 22 @ Petit Jean State Park. Here is a link for details: PJRally11


So who's going????? I'll be there on Friday and spend the night.

 

[MWMULES]

I will finally make it down to Arkansas this year, as I no longer have a job conflict. I should be down there Thursday.
I have some old style field desks and a 16X16 tent I can bring down . Plus some stuff I picked up for combst32 .

 

[ARYankee]

Sweet!!! Looking forward to meeting you. I'm bringing some surplus that I have to sell. Not sure exactly what vehicle I will be in..... decisions, decisions

 

[ARYankee]

We need to set up a Steel Soldiers section since there will be quite a few of us there. Or maybe Tom will have us an AO set up. He had a nice one last year

 

[rumplecat]

I will be there not in a 925 but I will be there this year! And I will fix breakfast, and no we are not having waffles!

 

[MWMULES]

It is less than a week away , anybody else going? Looks like I will not be down there till Friday .

 

[ARYankee]

I'll be there Friday as well after I get me a nap in that morning since I get off work that morning. I won't be staying all day Saturday like I normally do because my 2 boys have their first flag football game that day.

It will be Friday late afternoon before I make it there, Tuesday I am driving to Oklahoma City GL to pickup six light sets and some 11x20s for the new M270! A lot of driving this week when you count in the 800 miles back and forth to work!

 

[SoylentGreen]

I should be there Thursday afternoon with the Ferret if all goes well.

 

[ARYankee]

Well my plans are up in the air...... The M923 has a fuel issue so I'm not too sure that I will take it unless I can get it fixed, and the M1009 looks to have a leak in the heater core. I may end up taking it or I may have to fire up the deuce. I know I will be there in some capacity on Friday.

 

[rebel_raider]

We (all 6 or 8 of us, not sure exactly) will be there Friday, either late morning or early afternoon. We'll have quite a few vehicles, and maybe a thing or two to sell. I think we'll mostly be on the buyer's side of things, though.

 

[combat32]

I will be there Tursday afternoon and will have Fort Creason set up by 1800 hrs I will be there till they throw me out or Sunday morning whichever comes first, cold beer and lots o parts to sell at my Fort. I sure could use one of those tents Jim,

 

[MWMULES]

I will toss one on the trailer. I had to change my plans and will be down by noon Friday.

Sweet!!! You got room for the Thibeau Army at Fort Creason? We'll be there in the 5 ton. I got me a new fuel line from the filter to the pump. The old one was kinked. I hope that was causing my power issues, I'll see tomorrow. I'll be up some time tomorrow after I get home from work in the AM, I plan on replacing that hose and packing up, then heading that way.

 

[ARYankee]

BTW...... I'll have copies of that MV legislation that we've been working on.

 

[rebel_raider]

We is on the road! We probably won't be up on the mountain until about 1200-1300.

 

[rumplecat]

Had to work but leaving now from Springdale, maybe there by ten (Sat. morning)

What the!!? Well if you did show up then I missed you.

I know it was another great event and look forward to next year. It was great seeing everyone again and meeting MWMules, I hope you have a safe and uneventful trip back home.

Just got back to Kansas, I really don't know what happened, but at 16:00 the whole place except a few of us diehards reenacted the fall of Saigon! By 16:30 there were only about 6 MV's left.
Thanks to Welder Sam and family for the southern hospitality and letting ride in the wrecker boom bucket during the convoy. Also for ARYankee for scouting out a sweet MV prize next door at the civi car show swap meet.

 

[rumplecat]

I got there just as the trail ride was starting, I think I held it up for a few minutes as I backed the 818 into a parking slot, I was feeling bad and had almost no sleep so after a walk around I headed back to the cabin. Sorry I missed everyone! Some photos are attached, the last one is my haul from OK City GL (light sets) and the four $15 11x20s I found on Graig's List in Webbers Falls, right on the way home!
