Ford Invasion III @ S.M.O.R.R. in MO May 4-6

The dates are set for the Ford Invasion III wheeling meet @ Smorr in Seymour MO.



http://smorr.net
We are already listed on the calendar. This is a primarily a serious explorations forum meet, but we extend the invite to all RBV lovers!

The Yearly Calendar of events for the park was filling up fast, and we had to pull the trigger for this weekend. We were lucky to get a weekend as this place is getting so popular, they are filling up weekends a year in advance now.

I will update this thread as needed as time goes on. Post up if you are attending ( will add your name to the list) or just want to discuss anything relating to the meet.

Looking forward to seeing old faces, and hoping to meet many new ones this year!

Directions to the Ranch....HWY 60 (goes across southern MO) to Seymour (east of Springfield). There is only a couple exits for this tiny town. They should all lead towards the center of town. Once your south of the RR tracks, you will wind your way thru the square and to HWY K. Take HWY K south 5 miles until you reach the park. It will be on the south side of HWY K and trust me, you wont miss it. Look for the signs, and the ranch style entrance.


Hope to see you there, help spread the word!

Awesome! Sounds fun!

Count me in...I'll be driving from Houston.

Gman, what days will you be going?

Right on! Representing the great state of KY!

Lots of trails for your big Dawg rig out there.


Welcome aboard!

The park has added an extra day....May 3rd (Thur), for this meet if anyone wants to have an extra day to get away and show up early.

Hope to see more of you out there from here

Getting closer! Sign up here if your thinking of attending this meet!

Looks like I'll have to get a CB, and be sticking to #2 trails... We've got mainly mud down here.

I hope the dual tow hooks on the front of my frame will suffice.




Here's the original Serious Explorations SMORR #4 thread:

AgPete,
Those hooks are plenty good for the front as long as they are bolted, and not welded.
What do you have in the rear?

Cb Radio is a must have out there. You can get in a sticky situation and will need to inform everybody whats going on. You also don't want to get left behind if nobody knows your having issues. This place is big, and can get lost fairly easy out there if your broke down, and in need of help. Many reasons to have a Cb, but those are the important ones.

The Original thread is on another forum, as that is the main forum that has this meet every year. Thanks for posting the link.

I've already decided on a Uniden 520XL @ Sears for $45 new, since it's got a squelch and gain. Still gotta find a 4-5' Firestik or Wilson antenna.

I've got a hitch receiver D-ring. That should be fine, though.

I just found out the old lady can't come due to grad school finals, so I wanna find someone to sit shotty to keep me company.

Were having a couple events on Saturday after lunch for those interested.

50 yard low range drag races with brackets

Best Time obstacle trail course

Bring your cameras, and your cheering squad along!

I'll be there! Do I need to call n sign somewhere or just show up? Will be myself and my 10 year old son. Looking forward to some great wheeling and putting some faces on some of the User Names.

I will put you down on the attending list.

Only need to call the park to make a reservation if you need a powered site. If your just primitive tent camping or just coming for the day, no need to call.

Glad to have you aboard with us all!

Sweet! So that's 3 confirmed TRS-ers so far? I dunno who double-dips from Explorer Forums...

Im on both forums. Hoping to have my Ranger and Explorer there.
