Making a rest stop in Harrisonburg, VA. We are about halfway home. We had a great time and I will post videos tomorrow when I get home! Thanks especially to Joe for letting me ride and drive the gamma goat and to Oilcan for letting me ride in his m818 on the trail rides!

Proud and very happy owner of a mule, a gama goat, 1008A1, and a 5-ton wrecker!!!

Excellent, excellent job clinto! Those trails could become an official steelsoldiers test track, like them humps, looks like some are not wide enough on top to cross with anything bigger than a jeep or ATV...or perhaps a Gama Goat.

The rally was the best yet (IMHO).
We had a plotting session Sat. night for next year.
Maybe we can make it even better.
I think we all agreed that this site rocks and is a shoe in for next year.
Clinto and his GF deserve much credit for this great event.

Open all year Bjorn. Whew, I'm home. Left Yesterday after 2PM and convoyed with Poppop for around 3 hrs before he peeled off to go east. I continued south and went to Wayne Harris' house. Got in there about 645PM. Hung out with Wayne for a while, did some pickin and checked out the M880s. Funny thing about driving alone in a deuce for hours, you think of all kinds of stuff. It was during this that I realized I need another project like I need a hole in the head. I ended up bringing home a very nice M101 trailer. Also found the lest few bow corners I needed for the dropside. Wayne is doing OK, hanging in there. It was good to see him again as my visits are too infrequent. Don't recall what time I left but drove until midnight and stopped to take a snooze. Ended up back here at 815AM. I don't have too many more pics as my camera was missing most of the weekend. There should be some awesome pics and videos of what a deuce and a determined driver can do. Same with Brandon's M54A1 and Adam's M818, both were equally impressive in less than desirable conditions.
