I'm in with one M-35A2C and trailer, will have driver & co-driver on this vehicle. Possible second M-35A2C if driver gets free.

As per usual, I will need clearance from my Chief of Staff. I sure would like to make this one...

Why don't you advertise the event on the other MV forums to get more participaction.

I live in Del City, OK and might be intersted...

I have a M-38 CDN and M-100 trailer... I did the Fayetteville, AR convoy in May and we had a blast...

Whom do I contact for information...

I thought Steelsoldiers was the one and only? Seriously, I did post a link on www.g503.com . I would appreciate you posting a link to here on any other MV forums you frequent. Everyone is welcome. Thanks.

M1075,
What is our vehicle count at? Do you have any off-line vehicles joining? Also, I've been told we need to be at Pops NLT 1100 hours, a prompt departure at 0930 will put us close. Round Barn photo op may have to be after lunch but we will see how things are going.

Thanks, Bill. I look forward to meeting you. You are welcome to ride with me or there might even be another truck that needs a driver. Let's wait and see.

I may be in, not sure.. kinda depends on temp, cause I have an exhaust leak... 15 minutes into a trip and my throat hurts and I'm getting sleepy.

So an all day trip would be rough if I can't keep the windows down.
