 Proud member here! Though is this the same organization that the judges know nothing about factory Jeeps and let mistakes get by?

Friendly reminder. It's time to join the MVPA, there's strength in numbers.

Proud MVPA member here!

For anyone who hasn’t had the chance to participate in an MVPA convoy... they are huge fun! Join for a day or the entire distance... you won’t regret it.

This August will bring the Northwest Parks Convoy, virus woes willing. Mark Sigrist kindly offered his Idaho place as the start/end and veteran CC Dan MacCluskey will lead it.

I remember that thread TJ. You posted right after the post where I volunteered to judge and at the convention I had the wonderful experience of getting acquainted with you and your Jeep. I believe that you learned from that experience and I know that I did.

Today it was postponed until August 2022, because of the virus.

I agree with Joel. I've been a member since 1988. There ARE strength in numbers. Remember, a Legislature can pass a Bill at anytime that restricts our activities with our HMV's. Join the MVPA and find an Affiliate that you can also join and you'll find it very rewarding!
