I have another 40 minutes of convoy driving I could post but it is just me driving behind the M725 so I left them alone.

Here is the M715 cam of the ranch exit until just before the M113 died:

Here is the M715 cam from getting going again from the M113 stopping to the M113 getting under its own power again after an impromptu pull start.

I am getting the videos uploaded as fast as possible. here is the rescue of the M113 during the convoy.

Hopefully everyone got home ok. Here is a video I took before we left for the museum Saturday morning:

Here is the convoy heading out of the ranch this morning:

Yes, we just pay Lincoln when we see him.

I don't know what kind of speed my Cowdog can run towing the M715 tomorrow so I plan to leave home around 1530. That way I can creep along at 45 where I know all will be well if needed and still get there at a reasonable hour. I'm hoping for cruise set at 62 mph. Anyone going faster on 21...

We are on our own for food at the Ranch. Pistolnut entertained us for years when he would drive the EM-50 to the event with its huge windows. It was like watching a cooking show on tv. The rest of us just made do with camp cook stoves on tailgates and such. 5-10 minute drive in a normal...

I guess I worded my response about the aviation intercom wrong. I have the adaptors to let my iphone talk through the intercom, listen to music and all of that. I use that when flying and love it. However, nobody else I have been in driving formation ever has that set up so that is why voice...

We don’t really need communication protocols for the Saturday morning convoy. The deputies will talk to us at the ranch and then we will drive straight to Mullins with them blocking the intersections so we can just roll along at speed. Getting there Friday and going home Sunday is whatever you...

Looks like fun. I camped in the Cowdog and M715 last weekend with my Trail Life Troop. Taught 22 little ones how to drive a manual. I am ready for next Friday.

Repurposed vehicles of all types have been to the Rally in the past. There is a Rally swap meet thread already going so you won't have to lug stuff around that might not sell.

4 weeks from Friday!

We have never had to do an arrival recovery mission. I was close to needing help in 2013. I had just finished putting the 6.2 in the M715 that week. Maybe 10 miles of testing. When I hooked the trailer to it and loaded a M1009 all seemed well until I got to 3rd gear. Then the cooling fan started...

Now that the real information has been posted. Here is how things have worked in the past. The closer we get to the Rally people will start posting their travel plans. Normally someone near or on that route will chime in and a convoy will get formed. There have been several mini convoys out of...

Awesome.

Yes present conflict vehicles are welcome. We have always welcomed any former military vehicle. or one close to such. The museum has gradually gotten to like us too.

I guess some perspective is needed. When we first started doing this thing Mullins didn't want our "new" military vehicles at his WWII show. He and his people had turned several of us away from even parking at his event in our Vietnam era vehicles. So, Lincoln got us in with the offroad...

Well, the M715 is always a hit at the museum and ready for a trip. I can’t afford the 4.5 mpg to drive the Gasser M35 there. The whistler M35A2 has a mis I think is a blown rear head gasket so it isn’t coming Unless I get some unexpected free time to repair it. The M1009’s are ready to go as...
