Official 2020 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally (20GMVR) information thread

[microjeep]

So Mac and I have been working on a replacement location and we have a couple potential candidates. I'm sending Dave (u/rustyjunk) to recon it next week. We've spoken to the facility management and they're excited to have us but there is a substantial fee that the rally would have a hard time dealing with. But this facility would come with a literal mountain of benefits.

I know some of ya'll need an answer sooner than this and I'm sorry. I just can't push this stuff forward any faster.

Any information yet??

If there was, I'm sure it would have been posted. Patience, grasshopper.

I wanted to make a quick post and let everyone know where we're at. I know we're only 5 months out from the typical rally time and people need enough time to get off work. We're doing the best we can - the rally doesn't pay any of us and we're all busy with jobs and family, so it's hard to make everything happen super fast. I apologize for this.

We have narrowed potential rally sites down to 2 or 3 locations. They each have pros and cons and we're trying to weigh the benefits and downsides of each location. We know you can't please everyone, but obviously our goal is to find the place that best meets the needs of all rally attendees. One site is awesome but it's expensive and I have to weigh this carefully - if I think we can make it and then have a light turnout, I'm the one who has to come out of pocket to make up the cost difference.

I hope to have something soon. I apologize for the delays but I am looking forward to seeing everyone this fall.

Thanks

Clint

Clint,
Why not ask

Clint,
Why not ask for people to confirm that they are coming and to commit to paying the fee for the good site you found. If enough people confirm they will attend and you reserve the location, then ask everyone coming to pay ahead of time so that you don't get stuck with any unpaid fees. I think if the site is as good as you indicated, the attendance will be high.

I agree with this, we need to mitigate your risk considering you’re putting your neck on the line for us if you decide to commit that route

Yes tell the body and see if we are good with it.
It can't be that bad.

Other fees 200

So hit us let us decide if it's too expensive

 

[Squirt-Truck]

Just show up.

We'll post the date and location this week.

I can't tell ya'll how sorry I am about the delays. I have worked 7 days a week for the last year and a half and I'm exhausted to the point that I'm useless.

But we have a spot and we'll have a date and Mac's already started writing the thread.

 

[Squirt-Truck]

YES, YES. YES,
We will be there, at the proper TIME.

Anticipation is taking over.... just be sure that we have trails, hills, and enough room for big trucks.

Food and a great swap meet with community campfire.

We gotta know so we can make plans. For all you have put into the Rally, to much to loose.

Are you going to open a 2021 thread?

 

[Fifty]

Ha-ha... yes, just let me find out if they allow shipping of a 220 # live (animal), and what it would cost...

BTW, cargo air planes like A753AN are flying directly, every 2 days - but that doesn't help much.

Just looking for good trails, a place park, sleep and may be eat.

About what.....?

Nothing to see here......move along now, move along

 

[Squirt-Truck]

Should we organize a short recon to confirm the trails, and such?
