Look forward to seeing a lot of people that couldn't make it to Clare this year. It IS a family event.

One small request, though. Please make sure your vehicle is trail ready--lights, horn, steering, tires, engine, battery tiedowns, tranny, transfer, brakes all operational. While we are relatively famous for trail-side "field-expeident repair" seminars and have an unofficial "hood-up" award, the main intent is to spend as much time moving over as much trail as possible.

Again the U of M games ruin my fun. Can't attend again this year. Hopefully I can come next year along with my deuce and M151.

The color tour is more than a one day event typically many people are there on Friday, some even at the begining of the week.

BTT.

That's only 2 weeks away!!!!! Bill P will probably have a tough time deciding WHICH truck to bring this year!

Just a couple pics from previous years:

 

[DaveP]

anyone thats interested in primitive off site camping shoot me a PM for details and directions.

we have a location.

its wooded and near the main site.

participation with the group will not be a hassle as its only 2 miles or so from the main camp.

 

[TedG]

Well I cannot attend this year. Have fun without me though!

Pictures for those of us who couldn't be there?

 

[DaveP]

ok. heres a couple of pics to hold ya over.

limited time right now but will post more later.

we had an awesome time and pictures dont really do the event justice.

We had a great time, but blew a duece on the way up. There were six in two vehicles, and we ended up late (~10:00), so there was nobody to check in with. The Cali guys had a good time, but had to be passengers. We chatted with the Canadians at the range and watched on as they shot M60 Target Tanks with 84s

Nothing like towing a Duece behind an Ammo Trailer behind a Duece. (Sucks actually, catching smoke, and sitting in the quiet.)

 

[bigbee]

Here are a few on the "small truck" runs. The ones with the "mosque" are from a new training area replicating an Iraqi/Afghan village market. The line-up is at the fuel point. The trailer pics are of a 1945 all-aluminum trailer built by Higgins Industries of Higgins landing craft fame.
