OK. Here are a couple images from 2019 and the current flyer. We always have a couple themed showcases. The jeep one drew 65 jeeps and there were probably 10-12 elsewhere in camp not attending because the owners were selling or buying parts, or otherwise distracted. This year we are featuring HMMWV and Big Military Truck Showcases.
To see hundreds more pictures from several decades of this annual April event, and the smaller Fall version, see member photos in the Military Vehicle Collectors of California archives here: MVCC Photo Gallery (mvccnews.net)
Event info is at www.MVCCNews.net on the event calendar tab. The tentative activities schedule for this meet is:
FYI one theme for 2022 is Ford GTB trucks. Time to shop for parts to get your rig ready!
A long drive in a MV or even a car is not for everyone. But this is a big buying and selling event. Great place to buy or sell things that are heavy and expensive to ship. The buyer simply picks it up! People attend from all western states and several foreign countries. That be farther than Virginia. Just sayin'....

The guys that normally host it usually post it up in the steel Soldiers rally section in the forums but Fastnova just posted recently that it looks like all the big bear campgrounds are booked for the next year. I'm sure he will post when the next one goes out near barstow.

I dont think many will wanna come up and hang out in the desert in the summer. We are used to it. Fastnova told me at the April rally that they are gonna have another one at the Ft Irwin location probably around the October time frame.

I think our Chief was maybe a little harder on us than some... He gave us that speech every time we got any liberty. I managed to came out with none.
There were other sections with different leadership that HAD to wear their shirts. He always made a point of it.
