Just got back from Denton show

Post by DaveM38A1 »

Great show, connected with some old friends and made some new ones.
Some were disappointed with the turnout, but you've got to start somewhere.
Good deals on M38 and A1 parts. Rode in Wilfreeman's newly finished M38A1.

Really cool!
Great Job, Matt. A Jeep to be proud of.
Get's me ready to finish mine.
Learned a lot about Mules, since I recently rescued one.
Mule rides are exciting.
Got people from South Carolina, Virginia, and NC.
Looking forward to next year, I'l help put out the word.

We need a show in this area and I enjoyed it.

Thanks,

Dave

You have Green Disease and we'll have to call you "Muleskinner". I've read where the mules need nasty language to get them to behave! Seriously though, I find them interesting and was shocked at their value. A motorised cargo cart. The original ATV. John

It was good to see you again Dave and thanks for the compliments!

The turnout was a little disappointing, but those of us that were there had a ball! The weather turned out great after the storm Thursday night. This really is a great place for a rally with plenty of trees for shade and only 100 miles from home.

It was great seeing and talking to the older vets that came and giving a few rides as well.

I had to leave early Saturday, so I missed some of the excitement. I still managed to pick up some things on my list (a double ended intervehicular cable, an NOS headlight, top bow thumb screw chains and rings, a starter for my 'a1 and a gas can spout).

I am hoping the rally was successful enough to try again next year - I guess everyone is going to have to help spread the word next year.

I guess the best way to show pictures is to upload them to my album and link to them?

I'll work onit this weekend.


Thanks,

Dave

Yeah, that's the easiest way. You can link to an online photo share service (I use Picasa and Flickr) also, but it can be confusing at first.
