    There will be a larger living history display this April than normal. WWII Pacific theme for part of it, but all are welcome to participate with anything and any eras.

    2014 Camp Delta at Tower Park Meets

    Some pull out Saturday afternoon but the meet is so big it doesn't make a huge dent. It's by far the largest annual MV gathering and swap meet west of what - Pennsylvania? So there is a lot to see, buy, and selling opportunities on Saturday afternoon. In fact that is when you get the discounts...

    2014 Camp Delta at Tower Park Meets

    Yeah or a GPA or any amphib or G.I. boat. Maybe we should bring back the jeep trailer races in the marina. That was a riot. Update - there will also be a meeting on Friday to discuss the upcoming group tour to London, War & Peace Revival, and Normandy in July. This is being organized by a...

    Any Gun Trucks in Western U.S.?

    Sorry you couldn't make it. That would have been quite an effort. We do get one guy who drives his CUCV out from Texas every year. Hardcore! I'm still looking for gun trucks in the West. You would think with all the deuces around someone would build one out here. We don't have trouble with our...

    Tower Park

    I don't watch all vehicle specific forums here and didn't spot this thread earlier. I don't know about other event promoters but the MVCC advertises the Spring and Fall Camp Delta meets pretty well in a variety of paid and unpaid places. Enough so we usually have a wait list for campsites at the...
