Dates are Wednesday through Sunday, June 8-12th.

Prices for the park are 14 dollars a day. Most times we are not charged for Wednesday night. That is with discount. Just mention steelsoldiers, or army truck gathering. Be sure to ask for a park map when checking in. Military veterans get additional discount.

Haspin is about 800 acres. Ride anywhere but campground. No electricity or water in campground. One set of restrooms and showers, about 1/8th mile from campground, and they can be very muddy. Water is available at office, and beside drag strip. Can camp in woods or campground. Link to Haspin

Sunday
Pack and leave

Tentatively, I will be going, arriving Wed. night and departing Sunday morning. I will need food for the entire time. Just me, no other passengers. Not sure if I will be in a MV or if I will drive the civvy vehicle there and ride with someone else. My back got really messed up in past years driving 16-17 hours one way in the deuce. Either I need to get a more comfortable MV for the ride there, or tow one there, or just ride shotgun with another rally goer.

I might go!

I'm in. . . .
Wednesday to Sunday.
Food yes
I don't know what truck(s) yet. Tentatively, M51 and M342A2, Maybe M35A2 if I have another driver.

I suppose we can put the fuel tanker in the bed of the 814, along with the M37. That means all you will have to do is haul your sorry carcass over Saluda Mtn in that rough riding, slow ass 818.

Well,seeing what fuel prices are doing,and given I sold the 915A1 recently,as of right now I probably will not be there, working on too many projects,not any spare cash and nothing to drive up there.

Oddball hasn't been a really dependable ride as of late,I wouldn't trust driving it that far.

The M54A1 needs a camshaft and tappets,and nothing else is roadworthy right now.

You could always ride along with another rally-goer. I'm sure there is a passenger seat that another person wouldn't mind loaning to your a$$.

Yeah B, you gotta pick up those pumps we are saving ya IN PERSON!

Going...planning on Wednesday..... bringing 2 boys, maybe wife..... will need food too.

I guess I could grace the rally with my presence this year.

My current plan is to show up sometime Thursday with the Thompson clan. I'll have the deuce. I need to know if there will be a need for it, and that we have a more centrally located spot for it before I drag the genny along. Maybe Cabell has a need for more power for freezers or something like that. Keep in mind that it is an 003a, so it's not super quiet, but it is reliable. Also, if Lane gets my lights to Findlay in May, I might be able to bring a light tower or two along if anybody wants compound lighting.

Edit: Almost forgot, I'll be buying food for the whole time as well...plan a good menu for us!!

In referernce to a light tower. There was one @ the Fl rally. Upon arrival I thought it was stupid. Ended up being pretty nice. Got some great night pics with it.

The Hat Maker will be there agian the hats are being made as we speek will be there Wensday morning if i can get rhe Ky Convoy up early . Wow Junkyard is she gonna drive one to Haspin for ya thats nice.

My count, oldgrunt, HD Expert, Pat, Speedom,Tactical 6, myself, so at least 6 in our convoy, no food for Brett, Buff, Pat or myself.
