It is time once again to begin planning for the Steel Soldiers Ga. Rally!

The 2009 event is the 3rd annual SS Ga. Rally (4th if you count the 2006 cookout at my house).

If you are considering coming to the rally, check out what we did at previous rallies:

Is it October yet?

We are staying at the Best Eastern Cabin.

Well it looks like we may be trailering the M886 and sleeping in a tent for one night. My wife is not a fan of riding in a MV for a couple of hours so we will likely drive the F350 crew cab. She hates the smell of canvas so it might not be a GP small either. I will work on that. Cabin is out because of the two day requirement. I do have a question if any of you guys know. If I trailer a truck that is not tagged for road use, can it be driven from the base camp to the trails or is that illegal? Also will there be electricity at the base camp this year? I can bring some electrical adapters for the little power poles if I need to.

3 months to go!

The costs at that place could add up really fast. The wife and I will be there, but I doubt we will hit the trails much, maybe just one day.

Joe,

If the significant other doesn't mind camping but just doesn't like the smell of canvas, you are allowed to pitch a (civilian) tent in our area of operations and simply pay the $5 primitive camping fee (I think it's $5).

The lack of a tag should not be any issue. There are tons of guys who bring purpose built off-road vehicles to D'town on trailers to do their thing and these are vehicles which never see roadways (and are therefore not tagged). You should have no problem whatsoever.

There will be electricity-I still need to call Mike at D'town and ask him about the amperage that SCSG-4 asked me to find about a month ago (what can I say, I've been really busy).

If I can get the Wednesday off prior and the Monday after, I'll be there with my M1008 and my 416 trailer. Otherwise I'd be drving in saying hello and then driving home. Haspin was worth the 700+ mile trip. And if Georgia is even half of what people were telling me at the rally it will be worth the 800+mile trip.

Our band director moved heaven and Earth so we could actually go to a competition that is, guess what day...








OCTOBER 24TH...


In the immortal words of Robert Burns... "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men..."

OK everybody, we are at the 60 day mark-60 days until the rally.

Make sure to start prepping your trucks, saving up $ for fuel, make your lists of what to bring and if you have any firewood, BRING IT!

Make your list and check it twice....santa style

I'll be there at least two days! Anyone needing a place to stay on the way down let me know. I have firewood/\/\
