Information and questions.. ssflrally@gmail.com


Guys this is a great event for a family vacation as its located 35 miles west of Disney world and the Orlando attraction areas. Plan plan plan!!!



Same games... Same plans for our 5th year!


An update on the property conditions... Thankfully were DRIED out from last year so expect much of the same as in 2007, 2008 and 2009.


VENDORS... (you're welcome to come and set up for free!)



The event will be hosted for Steel Soldiers members with an extended invitation to the MVPA, Unimog, Pinzgauer and RR groups. Please feel free to invite, extend and re-post this invitation to your friends, families and web boards MV enthusiast of all type are welcome but this event is a private function and is NOT open to the "general public"!


Much has been asked about Trail Rides...

We are going to open up the back gates again like we did in 07-08 which gives us access to 10,000 acres... However due to the craziness during the day (and shooting) we will be doing a night ride on Saturday night! We had the makings of a forest fire in 2008 doing this so please BE CAREFUL!


Mud... a big hole of it! Its a swamp... were driving MV's what do you expect of us?

Shooting range... We will be (regardless of whom is stuck and where) holding the range again this year. All Class 3 owners (bring your stamp) as well as ALL firearm owners are welcome to bring out your toys. (class 3 be machine guns to the common folks)


In previous years we had a skeet area set up, hopefully Russel and Rick will oblige us with the same!


FOOD

Walter and Mike's great cooking! If you know this rally then you know the food is absolutely AMAZING! If ya don't... well... your in for it! Were changing the menu a bit so that lunches can be served over a extended period during the day as people seem to wander off in different directions and want things to come at different times.


Thurs Night

Prime Rib and all of trimmings (its worth being there early!)



Friday

Breakfast - Waffles and Sausage
Lunch - Hamburgers hot dogs
Dinner - Chicken


Saturday

Breakfast - Biscuits and Gravy
Lunch - Spaghetti and Salad
Dinner - Pulled Pork


Sunday

Walter's Surprise


Showers
(yes really)


We have a work crew showing up (your invited, seriously, come help!) on Jan 22-23 to build stalls and set everything up... Finally. Its taken a LOT of accumulation of odds and ends to make this happen but were finally there!


Port-a-potty - on site

All camping is primitive... If you need it, you bring it.... RV's and travel trailers are welcome...


Pets are welcome... Mind the wild animals and or anything else they can get into. (still no bears around)


ATV's, carts, etc are welcome...


It's a family event so bring what you like but please keep your head about yourself!


Firewood is everywhere so please... burn it! (away from you gas cans)

Check out the past years events!

Cool video of 2008


The rules for the event are simple...

All firearms are to be kept SECURE in your vehicles except for during use in the RANGE AREA. NFA's bring your stamps!


Be respectful of fellow MV'ers, pets, children and native wildlife (especially young trees)


Mind designated "no drive" areas


This event is NOT a public function, bring what you like but if you are not a SS member OR dont have a MV in your group you WILL be turned away!


Have fun, enjoy yourself and be safe!

Event Entry Fees
ADVANCE PAYMENT REQUIRED



Weekend entry registration $65 per person.

Saturday only registration $35 per person.
Payment info... (A little different this year) Please make your payments via paypal by using ssflrally@gmail.com



Please Note: "Saturday only" passes... We have done this in the past and had issue after issue after issue... I am again going to extend this option for the 2011 rally which will include food all day, etc, etc. However if this becomes an issue again rather than unfairly screwing it up for everyone else in the future were going to opt for cuffing you to a tree and waiting (hours) for the sheriff dept to show up!


Children 12 and under are free but MUST register with their parents upon entry. (if ya leave them I want to know where to ship them back to!)



Keep checking back for updates! We will edit THIS posting as they come up!

Okay folks, we have the official announcement. As you can see we have left the side dishes empty for now so if you have a preference let us know your ideas. Banned sides though include beets, brussel sprouts and anything containing tofu!

No problem, you do more than enough through out the year for this thing!!!

The date was a last minute coin toss with Wayne V. Were working with a lot of pre assembled stuff so it should be quick considering the project. Just need some lifting power.

**** missing another Fl rally. For any of those who are on the fence about coming this is one of the best rallys during the year, and definatley the warmest for this time of the season.

Since its only a few miles from Disney you can get the whole family out to visit.

Do you have hot water for those showers.
Next week I have to pick up my laundry unit. It has a hot water heater that runs off diesel.
Also has a 10kw generator. Nothing to pull it with thouigh and I'm just thinking out loud, that this woudl be another very practical use for this "Laundry Unit". If I had a MV I would love to pull itdown there and play with it.

So anyway, hot? or cold? showers. Just curious.
