Camp Shelby Rally

[juanprado]

Jeff,

How long do you expect the demo to last ? and is there other activities on the 3rd?

Thanks for setting this up!

 

[Csm Davis]

Demo of the tank will last for 5 minutes or so but may have a surprise and there will be some viewing of the inside and some description of features. Total time probably an hour.

 

[Csm Davis]

Okay one other thing I just found out that we can't set up trade goods a the museum but we can at my lot right outside of base. Might be something that we can work out for next year. Also the helicopter will land on the 4th time not set yet.

Okay getting closer right now we are a go for M1 Abrams tank demonstration at MATES at 8:45 am on the 3rd. 4th I have applied for a Apache, Blackhawk, and Kiowa to fly in and be on display from 1000 to 1400. I am trying to get something else for the 5th but still up in the air.

 

[Crawdaddy]

What are the details of when and where for the 4th? Obviously it's happening on the base at Shelby, but that's a big area and I'm trying to plan when I'll show up.

Up in the air... an unintended pun. hehe

If you can get the tank left I'll play operated and describe everything about it and how it works.

We will be there both days all 6 of us.

Everything will be at the museum but the tank demo

I think I'm bringing my M105 camper trailer and try dry camping (since that is why I have it) in Jeff's compound. I'm still working out the bugs, but those black water cans I got at Tim's rally should make for a warm solar shower at the end of the day, and the Honda 2000i generator and AC should make for a cool night's sleep. Decent food at the truck stop/Subway and BBQ next door.

I have water there if you need it and if someone wants to bring a camper I have a sewage dump there also.

Got my room reserved on the 3rd.

Hi Jeff,

Where do we meet for the tank demo and do we need to do anything special at the gate with security?

 

[Carlo]

I must stop following this thread, it's killing me! You guys are so lucking you have the freedom to to do things like this.

 

[Csm Davis]

Hi Jeff,

No just drivers license. MATES is where the tank demo is going to be and there will be a surprise at the demonstration, something you won't find anywhere else.

 

[Crawdaddy]

There better be copious amounts of video for the tank demo and the surprise so that I can live vicariously through ya'll.
