RE: ya
Just bumping this to the top 'cause it's gettin' close! I think it'll be the last outing for the year on this end, it is gettin' too hot for me. Time to go to the river! Sorry Lunchbox, just tuned back into this thread. Whenever you get there is the time you should be there. Just call the phone number on the flyer to give Chuck a heads up. All interested in attending, please RSVP to the number on the flyer no later than 01 June 2008. I'll pull the canvas off the truck this weekend and get my junk in order. I still have to swap out the front tires due to the chunks I took out of 'em at Stoddard. Got to squeeze off a few rounds in the k98 last week. First ones since the late 40s. I'll bring it out to give it a work out. MMMMM, bar-b-q!

RE: wood!!!
Due to the high fire danger up there, no open fires. BBQ is OK.

Im still Planning on Comming, most likely bring my kids and my Fifth Wheel as I still do not have my license or that comfortable feeling to drive the Duece that far yet.

Is there any way to get a clearer map or directions to this event? The one in the topic is fuzzy when you try to print it.

As much as I want to attend this outing and meet many of you, I will not this year. Hopefully he will hold another inthe future. I am getting very close on my shelter/camper conversion but have not yet driven the duece far enough to chance this one un prepared. Please keep us informed on additional events.
Will,
that tent looks awsome. I may have to get me one of those...then I'll need some cots...a tent stove...AAHHH!!!
I see you took the canvas off. I've gotta take mine off next weekend as well. Clean it, canvax it, put it away.

Well, made it there and back and only developed a gear oil leak at the t-case high/low shaft. Truck ran like a champ. Ya know, without the canvas sail on the back, it will run 50MPH all day long and hangs on the hills real well! 320 miles, RT. Got to fire some sweet weapons, a single shot, bolt action .50 cal, a .50 cal. BMG, 300 Ultra Mag, AR15, SKS, M1919, .30 cal with a Govt conversion to a .22 rim fire, guess it was used for training due to inexpensive ammunition, and the Mauser. Even squeezed off 4, 1940 german AP rounds thru it, very dirty stuff, the barrel looked like it was full of mud after those.
