The biggie returns to 49er RV Village Resort and adjacent Amador County Fairgrounds the last week of April 2022! Scenic, quaint Plymouth in the Shenandoah Valley Wine Country in the low California foothills will see more hunters of olive drab, forest green, and battleship gray artifacts than they saw gold miners in 1849! This is the largest annual military vehicle event West of the Mississippi. Former annual Spring events were The Patterson Rally, Big Bear Park, Camp Delta at Tower Park, Camp Petaluma, and in April 2019 we moved to Plymouth. We finally found a place with lots of close-in visitor parking! For those unfamiliar with this event, here are the bullet points:
Sellers will be in both venues.
If you rented a space in April 2021, your name is on it now. Tell Jo-Ann to confirm you want it again or request a change. There will be a deadline. Unclaimed sites will be turned back into the 49er office 30 days before the meet. Where you were at the last Fall meet does not put your name on that site for the Spring meet.

Tuesday is a set up day, not officially a show day. Sunday is a pull out day, not a show day.
Details about the MV showcases, excursions, social activities, and meetings are at www.mvccnews.net
Shameless picture of this writer's fleet and trinkets last September. We hear the 49er has more land and plans expansion, likely more pull through sites and cabins. We don't know when...
The infamous jeep showcase in the arena in 2019. I think 65 here and 10 or 12 elsewhere in camp
