Next year...................... CABIN! I am done with this 9 months of preparation for the weekend. It would be cheaper to rent a cabin.

Sale items:
Don't forget that you can bring stuff to sell/trade with no restrictions on space/location in the camping field.
BMan (Chuck) will be hanging out at the HQ tent with the t-shirts...

Speaking of sale items:
I will have five gallon plastic water jugs (tan, black ones have all been sold...), lug nuts, MKT drink dispensers (this stuff is already on the truck...).
TR-100 four wheel tag trailer (two axle, like a M1061 but heavier and with full air brakes)-I have to have it up there and it can go home with a new owner...
Available, but only if you talk to me ahead of time: ten 1100r20 Michelin XL tires with 30% tread (or better) mounted on ten lug rims recently taken off my M817. These WILL NOT be on the truck unless I have a rather firm sale pending...
M37 parts (upon request: I have some body parts, some electrical, a couple of complete engines, a couple of disassembled engines, etc...)

I'm coming to have fun trailriding and socializing...but I will have room for stuff if folks want it.

Are you going to dry out the tent this year or will it be nice and slimy as usual? :roll: You know, we really NEED to get some of the YOUNGER guys to set up the tent. It is getting kind of tough for the OLD crew to do. Or are you YOUNG guys afraid you can't hang with the OLD guys? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

The tent will be dry, especially if I take it out of the trailer and let it cook in the sun for a while before we set it up...
I may be able to get some of the local kids to help set it up, but you never know what their schedules will be...

I was talking about OUR younger guys! Then again, thinking about it we really do not have many guys I would call young in our group other than maybe Adam or Mike. I can put in the pins and lace it up but the lifting is out for me anymore.

I thought you told me you were retired? Hence not working, Hence nothing to do besides drive across the country to ride trails in the east where what they call mountains are driveway bumps to you. :roll: :lol: :lol:

I got to playing around with the Flickr account yesterday and thought that I would upload the 483 photos that I had collected from this event into one place...
So, go over to https://www.flickr.com/photos/124394777 ... 043750354/ and enjoy...

So, enjoy looking at them and plan on joining in the fun this fall (I will start a thread for the 2017 event soon).
