2017 MVPA Route 66 Convoy is on the move

[jasonjc]

Go to page 3 for latest info, they are in Il but will hit Mo Tuesday eve then Branson Thurs eve till Sun am.





But in 2017 the MVPA is having a convoy from Chicago to LA along the old "Route 66" witch should bring it thought the KAMO AO.

I was thinking about a KAMO group, linking up with the convoy in Springfield MO and convoying down to Tulsa or OKC with them.


What do you all think??????

[MWMULES]

Every year I go down to the KAMO Rally I do a side trip and run Route 66 through Kansas border to border. It's only 11 miles and takes about 25 minutes including stopping to get a picture!

 

[jasonjc]

I've been looking at the maps of old route 66. Mite even start at Ft Lost in the woods.

So what do any of you think???


The MVPA has been having good luck with these long convoy and group hooking up and dropping off.
They did one in 2009 from DC to Ca. Then in 2012 they did the Alcan.

 

[Warthog]

I'm in. Don't know what I would be driving at this point.

 

[jasonjc]

If you need I can lean you a truck

I could get excited about running the Texas panhandle leg of Route 66 ! ! !

 

[jasonjc]

I know it's a long ways off but, it will be here before you know it!

 

[MWMULES]

Thank you, MWMULES!
I'll have to look in to that.

Would be very interested, please keep me posted!

 

[OEFISHER]

I only live 3 miles from Route 66. I am absolutely in.

 

[jasonjc]

Well I just talk too the head man at the MVPA for convoys the man who is heading the Rote 66 convoy. I told them of the SS'er and KAMO's members wanting to join up. I talk about meeting up around Rolla or Ft Lenard Wood , MO and going to Tulsa/OKC area.?. That was my thinking any way. They do not have the route set in stone yet. I also told them about the D-day park. So we will see what happens. I will post up here as I find out more.

 

[MWMULES]

Did you happen to talk with the BH convoy folks about this fall when they come through AR?

 

[rumplecat]

I retire in late September so I am ready to do something!

 

[jasonjc]

Did you happen to talk with the BH convoy folks about this fall when they come through AR?

No I did not. I think its going thought central Arkansas the weekend of the KAMO rally, so I was not interested too much about it.

For the rote 66 convoy , I was think if it works right , starting at Fort lost in the woods on a down day and get a base tour. May be do a little driving on the tank trails.?.
And then go to Tulsa or OKC or there about.?.

 

[armytruck63]

I live 1/2 a mile from Route 66. A buddy and I are planning on running part of the Bankhead Convoy, at least Yuma to San Diego.

We are also thinking of the 2017 convoy, maybe Demming, NM to LA.

 

[OEFISHER]

At this point count me in. I live 3 miles off of 66 in central OK. Sounds like a lot of fun. Warthog I'm sure you will have something by then but if not you can ride with me.

 

[Gun Goober]

I'm in! !

 

[jasonjc]

They have only 80 slots for the whole thing,(these go to past convoy members first) plus 20 slots for the legs.
Seems if you are not one of there "regulars" .......You can come watch them.

They are doing a Branson to El Reno OK leg.
