Camp Delta/Tower Park April

[bigmike]

I'm not sure about sleeping in the lot but you never know. I'm still hoping to get a hit on someone who backs out of a reservation.

Camp Delta

As long as the atv isnt one of those really loud 2 strokers should be good to go!...people run around in everything from golf carts to mules and those JD gators...I dont think anyone will complain about sleeping in the deuce...I slept in the back of my blazer there one year....also bring your shopping list as regular MV parts guys like Antelope valley,owens export and everyday joe MV will be there selling.....ED

I might sleep inthe M1008 if I spend the night its only an hour and a half from me or so.

Since dirtbag got moved three times to the one date I can't make in the entire spring - it looks like I'm game for Tower Park. Who is headed up from SOCAL? And when?

 

[JDToumanian]

Jim (The Recorder) and I are going to head up early morning, Tuesday April 19 and return noon-ish on Saturday the 23rd. The more the merrier!

My only concern is I don't have any spaces.

Yeah, but I wouldn't let that stop you.... There will be a last minute cancellation, even on the day you arrive you can probably go into the office and find a space. Jim and I have adjoining spaces. We're not really sure how big they are, but the last time we squeezed both of our deuces into one site. With two sites we may have plenty of extra room, if so I'm all for splitting them 3-ways to save cash.

Worst case scenario, you camp in the parking lot.... It wouldn't be bad, there's nice shady areas there too I slept in my Honda in the parking lot the first year I went.

Dug,
Here is a link to some pics of 2009. This one pic was our spot.

12 - 19 April, 2009: Camp Delta Spring Meet

We will make room

 

[DUG]

Thanks for the pics. The main problem I have is my wife took vacation days for the dirtbag that never was. Since she traded she has to use them and she wants to do something during that time. I have a majority of my vacation saved so I can stop working 6 May and get paid until 31 July and I don't have enough extra to do something with her and do TP. Crazy how just one date screwed up so much. Oh well, what's done is done.

If I get it figured out I'll LYK and get the convoy details. I have my "world's heaviest tent" M105 that we built for dirtbag, but I don't think I would tow it to TP with fuel pushing 4 backs.

Guys, updates are on the first post, check it out. Also some new news about additional legal levee parking on the MVCC website that's linked in the post. We'll keep the www.mvccnews.net info the most current.

As said before, those wanting a camp spot get on Jo-Ann's radar screen. KOA lets her be large-and-in-charge. Things free up, even during event week. There is always room on Saturday night after some go home early. A small amount of space is available at a "secret" county campground across Hwy 12! Ask Jo-Ann.

Who is jo ann?

Who is jo ann?

Wife of MVCC President. She interfaces between campers and KOA reservation staff. Her contact info is on the Basic Training page of the event listing on the MVCC website. Here it is. And the Activities schedule can be found on the website too. Click here:

An Op Order for the Battalion COMM Center radio display is now up on MVCCNews.net, linked from the Activities page. Pretty funny, even if you don't do military radios...

Pass the link around to those who like radios or need an expert to help set one up. Bring your manual!

What is "ss"? Why do you ask?

 

[JDToumanian]

Yes, if you are at least 97 degrees body temp and you like military vehicles you should join the MVCC. If nothing else you get a monthly newsletter that will tell you what's going on in Northern and Central CA. See me at space 386 and I will point you to our Quartermaster or President.

Pot luck thing on Monday is for early arrivers - bring food dish to share. No, not just the dish - food for the communal table. Bring your plate and utensils, beverage too. You will see some meals on the schedule Thurs-Sat. Stop by KOA camping office and there should be a sign up sheet which will let the caterer plan food. Pay at the event. If you don't sign up, still come with money-in-fist and you will be taken care of!

Update - BAE Systems will be displaying one of the vehicles they currently build for the Army. We are not divulging the type, but let's just say it is full-tracked. If you are at the Dodge display late Friday afternoon you won't miss it driving in. Will be on display near the Pavilion in Campground 4.

Check out the BAE website - baesystems.com. These people make some serious stuff! We can't wait to see what they bring!
