Well, looks like half the rain is already passed, and the rest is thinned out over the Appalachians, so I expect some rain this Friday, Saturday looks fair to good, and Sunday is great. Either way, I'm not a "fair weather MV enthusiast", so I'm getting ready to head out the door and go do some...
Nah, Peter - you need this! Chrysler 1950's air raid siren. 12 feet long, 6 feet high, 3 tons, 30,000 watts of power, powered by a 180hp engine and producing 138 dB of ear-splitting power. Enough sound to beat fog outta the sky and turn it into rain.

Okay guys, 24 hours to "go" time! I am sending out a final PM to all those who are going sometime this weekend regarding contact info for all of you, please send back to me so I have a way to reach you on your cell or email if something should come up, or you have trouble finding the rally...
Okay, have to do another update. This is the updated, final final final list of those who are going and have let me know what's up. IF THERE ARE ANY PROBLEMS such as you are not on the list of those going, or you need to make an update, please PM me or post here.
Coming to the rally whole...
Just checked the weather report for the weekend.
Friday: 40% chance of T-storms, high of 65, low of 48
Saturday: 30% chance of a few showers, high of 66, low of 48
Sunday: partly cloudy, high of 66, low of 45
SO, bring your wet weather gear in case the weather is wet, cuz' it's RAIN OR...
Buggyman - sure! Sounds like a great idea, we don't need a lot of juice to operate things around the campsite, so a 3KW will be more than enough. Thanks for the offer!
Also, for everyone - I will be sending out a .doc file that covers all the convoy information, contact numbers, campsite...
Not yet - I'm gonna see if a friend of mine in Harrisonburg has a small Powermate or something similar I can borrow. A military genset would be great, but they are LOUD. Will keep everyone informed.
Got the notice today from the T-shirt company that the Steel Soldiers VA rally shirts are...
Not sure we need one THAT big, Don, but thanks for the offer!
I have ordered a few extra shirts, so no problem on the size, Don. Will let you know when they come in.
Also, I have a M332 ammo trailer in good shape that I may tow to the rally. It is for sale, so if anyone is going and wants...
Sure thing, Mike! Plenty of passenger's seats to fill, and Saturday we're going to be out on the trails all day long, so that's a good day to go out.
To Mike, and all the others who are attending, I plan on sending out a .doc file via PM explaining all the last minute stuff: what to bring...
Well, did a final looksee at the trails in the rally area this Easter Sunday, my jeep wasn't put back together, so I did it in my Durango. I like my trusty steed, even if she's not green and powered by a 40-yr-old engine, she can still go places most people wouldn't dare go in their SUVs...
RE: Ralley
A lot dropped off due to events like work, etc. that wouldn't have been known until closer to the event. Also, a few folks 2-4 hours away from Hburg were going to come, but I think the price of fuel is causing a lot to back out, and save up more for Aberdeen in May. That's fine, at...
Also, letting everyone know that this is the final tally that I have of those that are coming. If you are going, but you're name isn't here, LET ME KNOW. There were some on the master list from a couple months back, but I just haven't heard from them.
Coming to the rally:
L1A1, 1 guest...
Roger that on wadereg, thanks. Will update the final list of those going shortly.
Here's the final info on the tshirt order, those who responded. I will order a few extra in case some don't decide to go until last minute.
I HAVE SHIRT INFO FOR THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING:
Opie, 1...
Just updated the lists of the tshirt people, and the list on page 1 of those that are coming. As we get closer, some are dropping off, which is to be expected. As I've said before, time tells who the die-hards are. Anyways, sorry to hear some cannot make it, we'll see you next time.
As for...
Okay, time for a bump to top, and an update.
I am awaiting the convoy map routing from L1A1 shortly, which will be forwarded out to all the people who are coming from points north, south, and east for this event (strangely, noone coming from West Virginia. Not sure why). You all should have...
Beth, sorry to hear you and Pete can't come to the rally. Hope he gets better real soon...
For those that have PMed me with questions, T-shirt sizes, etc. for the rally, I know, I know, I haven't gotten back with you yet. Single parenthood has really been taking a toll on my free time in...
Buggyman - I did get it, I have a bunch of PMs to reply to, hope to do it this evening.
bullitt798 - yes, if you can only show up on Saturday, that's no problem. We can provide you directions to the campsite prior to the event.
Just letting you know I didn't receive any PM from ya. Check twice, there are several on SS with "MadDawg" in their name. Make sure you sent it to the right one. :)
More than willing to have you along, Truck. Keep in touch if you can make it,
Thanks to Opie for getting the topo maps of the area.
Getting close to the event, I'm going to back up the final RSVP to March 20th, any later and I can't order the T-shirts. If you RSVP after this, or aren't...
