The first year that we held the event at the Farmpark, I was charged close to $200, and they had me put the MKT up on the access road between the event field and the camping area (the vendor area).
The next year, and every time that I have been back, they have charged me $90 and I have set up...
Really glad that I was able to attend the event again this year after a two year absence due to work conflicts... A big thanks to those that helped with the MKT (especially Mike Crowe) and to my friends at Rockridge Offroad who stopped by to check on me (they help me run the Graves Mountain...
I posted 206 photos to my Facebook account and 204 to my Flickr page (not sure what two did not load...).
I had a great time...

I am finalizing plans for next week, getting things ready...
Your absolute last day to sign up for guaranteed food at the MKT is Monday... I'll be doing my shopping on Tuesday...
I usually have some extra at each meal, but if you don't sign up, don't cry if I turn you away...
Looking forward...
Can I interest you in a TR100? Same size as a M1061, but with full air brakes and a height adjustable lunette ring (for 2.5 or 5 ton trucks). Was purpose built to haul a reverse osmosis water treatment unit including a MEP-005A... I can't bring it to the rally since I will be towing my...
I have an axle from a M101A1 complete from hub to hub including rims and tires (NDT or NDCC...) I also have the front A-frame including lunette and landing leg. I do not have the box or the frame section that went under the box.
Likely not going to bring it to Denton (too much going on...

Who is planning on arriving early?
My current schedule has me arriving after lunch on Wednesday (aka: mid-afternoon) and it would be nice if someone could stake out my MKT spot (that I used in the past since it was convenient for everyone) and to have some help setting up the MKT.
I find cooking for a group to be a nice, relaxing, break from my day job...
My current plan is to arrive on Wednesday (I assume that I can access the site that afternoon as in years past) with the MKT and to have a meal offering for each meal through Sunday breakfast.
Of course, if you aren't...
You know, I have never measured the gap between the feet of my medium towbars and the shackle points on my M37s (or those owned by others...)...
I also have never used a shim when flat towing any of them...cross town, from NC to Indiana (Haspin), MD (Aberdeen), from Atlanta to Raleigh...etc.
Of...
I have blocked out the week on my calendar at work...
I have some menu ideas...
I'll suspect that I will start a different thread for food at the MKT at a later date...
Looking forward to being back after a two year hiatus...
Such sad news...
I will never forget that trip we made out to NE as part of Ziggy's big move each of us driving a M915A1. I have never laughed as much before or since as I did when we shared a M915 for the ride back....
RIP
I would like to thank everyone that attended the event.
A really big thank you goes out to:
Chuck for manning the tent and taking care of registrations and shirt sales (as well as taking care of folks’ sale items…).
Robert for manning the firing range (and both he and his wife taking care of...
The daily schedule (subject to change due to weather, etc) is posted on the event website.... Trailrides in the morning are at 8 and 10....
Chuck (BMan) will post the daily updates on the white board at the HQ/Registration tent.

As I toss a few extra jerry cans onto the truck...
Don't forget that the nearest fuel is in the town of Madison.
Please top up your tanks on the way in (you know, before you leave the four lane and get on the twisty two lane that leads to the farm...).
Also, remember that we have no cell phone...
I posted a bunch more of those photos onto the Flickr account as well...
I'll bring a memory stick with all of them that I took that weekend so that you can snag ones of life around the cabin (swimming, cooking, card games, etc) for you to share.
