Hello to all!
Dates: August 18th-21st, 2022 Theme: "It's A Zoo!!!" Location: Waldersee Farm 29870 SW Mill Creek Rd. Sheridan, Oregon USA 97378 Activities: Driving, Camping, Socializing, Driving, Kid's parades, Animal-themed costumes, Driving, Petting zoo, Axe throwing, Swimming, Driving, Women's backhoe contest, daily Yoga practices, Driving, Zip line, Raffle/Auction, Driving Added features: Saturday night meal provided by our dear friends who are responsible for the annual Descend On Bend and Descend On Lost Sierra events. Great cooks and amazing people! An MVPA three state convoy is due to arrive at the Evergreen Air & Space Museum complex about 1pm on Saturday. There also happens to be an air show scheduled that weekend. We are considering sending a group of NWMF trucks there to welcome the convoy to the area. I have already invited the convoy to come to the farm and join in the fun that evening. Housekeeping: We provide the toilets and shower facilities. The rest is pack in/pack out. This includes recycling and pet waste. In years past, it was taking us several months to finally clear the barnyard of trash and recyclable items. There may be lemonade/cookie stands, shaved ice, the Autobahn Coffee VW bus and a food/snack trailer but it is best to be ready to be self-reliant and self-sufficient. No open fires and it is HIGHLY recommended that every vehicle has a functional fire extinguisher on board. Special request: As always, we hope as many European high mobility vehicles and their owners can be present. This year, I am requesting that the Volvo TGB attendance will be far higher than what we have seen in past years. A bit more than gten years ago, the MVPA named me their Steyr-Puch Haflinger technical advisor. I wrote a series of four articles that were published monthly in their ARMY MOTORS magazine. This year, they named me their Volvo TGB series truck technical advisor and they plan to publish a series of six articles in their current "History In Motion" monthly magazine. The series I will write will cover predecessors, prototypes and four primary subgroups with variants. When those are done, I will offer them a seventh article covering a wide variety of TGB trucks that have been modified into campers...especially the TGB131X 6x6 trucks.

Safe travels. Jim Molloy | ||||

Hi Jim,
sounds cool, but it is a little bit too far away to attend. Have fun! Best, Georg | ||||

Georg,
We typically have a dozen or more people for Europe show up for the event each year. Even with rising fuel prices, it appears this year will be no different. Most are already doing overlanding/globe trotting in North America and we happen to be a friendly and fun place to stop and enjoy the party. Owning and bringing a vehicle has never been a requirement of attendance. Yes...it is a great distance to but our welcome mat is always out and our home/farm is always open to those who choose to join us. Take care. Jim | ||||
