**2014 Florida Military Vehicle Rally**

**Winter Event**

@

Holder Mine Campground


Come join us Thursday March 6[SUP]th[/SUP] through Sunday, March 9th for "Tons of Fun" at the fourth annual Florida Military Vehicle Rally. The goal is to solidify the natural bond of thelike-minded fellow Steel Soldiers members, MV owners, off road and camping enthusiasts and their families.

The feature focus of this event is limitless trail riding,simple social gathering, and plain fun for all. There will be multiple organized trail rides and great food for everyone to enjoy. Even if youdon’t have an MV to trail ride with or simply choose not to, you’re more than welcome and even encouraged to ride along with any of the other participants.We consider this a family friendly event so don’t be afraid to join in.
We are excited to announce a new location for the event. We have done some research and recon of the Citrus Wildlife Management Area and with some help have located some fun spots along the trails to play. Citrus is widely known for its hills and articulating washouts. There is also some water and mud. With the combination of the two it should make for some interesting and challenging trail riding. The trails are clearly numbered and easy to navigate. We also had decent cell coverage while we were checking out the area. This area is within a few minutes of town so a quick trip to the local restaurants, grocery, fueling stations can be done easily.

The Rally HQ will be located at the Holder Mine Campground. The cost is $20 per site per night for up to 5 people for water/electric site. The facilities include:

· 27 campsites with electricity, water, picnictable and fire ring
· (2) Bathhouses (very large and clean)
· Pavilion
· Dump Station

We will be renting the pavilion. This will be our common area. We will be hosting a dinner Friday night and Saturday night. The cost is FREE! Thanks to JEMCO Military Surplus and South Marion AutoBody.

All other meals are BYO. The “Rally Grill” will be available for your use should you choose to bring burgers, dogs, steaks, and such. This worked out quite well for our fall event.

Event ticket $5.00
Covers pavilion rental and our normal variety of drinks


(sweet tea, filtered water, and fruit punch)

Maps will be available at check in located in the pavilion. We are hoping to keep trail rides between 2-3hrs long so it is a good idea to pack a lunch, snacks and drinks. We will have ice water available out on trails. Please be aware due to nature of this activity the terrain can change daily and it is recommended that you bring recovery gear (tow straps, clevis, duct tape, tools). Some hazards have bypass trails some do not, so pack accordingly.

I resent the PM's to everyone on my list. I removed the names of everyone that already posted to this thread. I didn't want to send duplicate information and clog up your Inbox since y'all are already subscribed to the thread.
