Subject: [MV] WEARE RALLY NH SNAP REPORT #2
> Just got home from Rally 1/2 hour ago.
> Short report on high points of since last report....
> Late Friday a privately owned HMMET from Long Island rolled in (Driven
> all the way!!!!). Had an S250 on bed with a plasma TV, toilet and all the
> comforts....sweet!
> Paul Balageron from RI showed up with his CCC tractor and trailer
> hauling his two M114 APCs. Then Pat Whitehouse rolled in with his M3
> Halftrack.
> Sat morning, up the road comes an M5 Stuart, M24 Chaffee and an M3
> recon car, all owned by the same guy, who had trucked them in from New
> York.
> Word gets passed that the local PD has given it's blessings for the
> armor to travel over the road from the rally site to the local flood
> control area (Federal land) where we had been given permission to have
> trail rides on the dirt roads. About 20 miles total.
> We form up with the APCs, tanks and both M3s following Phil Waterman's
> CMP 'Beast' taking the lead, followed by 26 other HMVs and me in my 'new'
> M1009 as rear guard.
> Losta folks come out of the houses to see what's making the dishes and
> windows rattle, and watch the procession pass.
> Speaking from new experience, tanks on trail rides kick up a lot more
> dust on dirt roads than Deuces!
> Had numerous photo ops and set up a high speed pass along the road of
> each piece of 'big stuff', one at a time and then in a group, past the
> photogs. APC's and the Half track can rally haul the mail and the Chaffee
> was no slouch either. The Stuart was kept at fairly low speeds because of
> the pounding the crew takes from it's suspension.
> Then back to the rally site for the Ham banquet and the Auction.
> Some rain Saturday night, then off to the Weare American Legion Post
> for breakfast Sunday morning, and back to the rally site to break camp.
> Dr. Deuce, please correct designations/fill names and details I'm
> missing.
> I'll post some pictures to the net this week and drop the link here if
> anyone is interested.

> Weare 2006 Rally is on 362 days away!!! Mark your calendars!!!!!
