Jim lives in Corona off I-15 at Indian Truck Trail. He was planning to meet me at my house in Hesperia, but to save time I could meet at the hwy 395 exit. I'll send this thread to Jim so maybe you guys can coordinate meeting somewhere down the hill...
The 4th deuce is coming from Lancaster, so he'll probably meet us in Mojave where hwy 14 and 58 cross. A possible 5th deuce is in Fresno, so we would be meeting up with him probably around mid-day.

I will be there from Thursday-Sat. Spots 113/114 (Yes, I reserved two as I have a large RV trailer and sometimes she don't fit in one space). We'll be driving down from Portland early Thursday AM (about 10 hour drive), so if all goes well we'll be there in the late afternoon.
Looking forward to meeting up with some of my SS buddies down there.

We shall not cease from exploration
and the end of all our exploring
will be to arrive where we started
and know the place for the first time

The first road and direction I am on when leaving my house is I-15 northbound towards the 91 freeway. Either 15 or 91/215 towards Cajon Pass is equal distance for me.

The Following User Says Thank You to WillWagner For This Useful Post:
I tried to access your convoy page and it wouldn't open for me so I am not asking a stupid question. What day are you all rolling out ? We are planing to leave Barstow ( hwy 58 ) Sunday the 18th and run up the 99, I don't like the 5. I'm driving my M37 w/m101 and Keith is towing his WC52 up there, if you are not taking off on the 18th maybe we can run together back down on Sunday the 25th ? I won't have my Command Car this year I think the convoy deal would be great, if we can't get together this time maybe we can plan to run togther in September
Adding a few details to papakb's announcement... the direct link to the event page is here: MVCC Camp Delta @ Tower Park
and this will be updated with news when necessary. If you want a campsite and DO NOT have a reservation yet, read the page carefully and contact mamalesser"at symbol"yahoo.com. Check out the activities page. This will soon have a day-by-day schedule posted. Note the special activities this year include Jeep Evolution-One of Each (25+ models and variations), armored cars, staff cars, medical vehicles, a Carter jeep carb rebuilding seminar, a tentative WW2 British Airborne display, likely a modern MRAP truck from BAE Systems, Madames Afternoon Tea (for all ladies), Friday night party, and more.
The convoy from LA sounds great! Convoys are nice because only the guy in the rear gets run over! Can one of you guys post a link to this thread over on the G503.com MVCC forum? If not I will and tell me who the contact person is. We have members in LA and along your route that should know about this. Also there is a convoy from the north set for Tuesday out of Oroville, returning Sunday. Some convoy from Idaho, and WA and OR people often group up.
We invite vehicles for the displays mentioned so pass the word. Not a restoration contest! In particular we are looking for the following vehicles we are not sure about: Ferret, M8 armored car, Willys MA, Ford GPA, Willys MZ-2, M422 (not A1), M718 Muttbulance, M201 Hotchkiss jeep. I am the contact person for displays and activities.

I'll be there with the usual (unusual?) Idaho guys. We'll be set up in the usual space.
Find the Idaho guy with all the patches/pins/ribbons/uniforms/militaria. I get to be the old bald guy with the limp. Come on over. I'd like to meet some fellow SS guys. A couple of years ago, "Dieselsmoke" (I think that was his given name) came over.
See ya there. If anyone needs any particular patches or anything, let me know, I'll make sure we toss it in the trailer.
Major, my wife owns a Dingo, Ferret and Fox (the larger successor to the Ferret) and she wanted to bring the Fox. Why the desire for the Ferret?
