Is anyone interested going on a cruise? It is a group called MVPA (military vehicle preservation association). It may be far away for some but check out this facebook site. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=121826624534261. if this link doesn't work search MVPA Alaska Highway Convoy. It should be a blast.

Hey Convoy Drivers,

Sounds like there are quite a few who are planning to drive the convoy but have not signed up yet. The Convoy team is working hard on were to stay, where to get fuel, Maintenance locations and forming collection convoys from all over the US and Canada.

IT would be a big help to sign up NOW so we have a count on people and vehicles. The large number of vehicles in the convoy will require us to let the fuel stations at our stopping points order ahead when they know we are coming. Same thing with Camping and Motel Spaces.

My wife and I and two other drivers are going to drive the route in May (2010) by motor home to recon the AC12 convoy route and the facilities. We really need to have a better count. Please contact the convoy comander thru the MVPA web site and get on the list if you have not done so.

Our WC21 is coming along. Engine transmission and transfer case are done and in. Working on axles and brakes now. It's going to be a great trip. See you in Dawson Creek!!!!

Jeff,

Are you trailering from Wisconsin? Anyone else going with you from Wisconsin?

There is also a little side trip planned that is not shown on the MVPA event map. When we reach Dawson City, the convoy will drive North thru Eagle Plains and up to the Arctic Circle. Just to say we did it. Then return south to Dawson City, cross the Yukon river by ferry boat and on to Chicken Alaska.

As of mid March there are over 40 HMV's registered, paid and in line to go. More on the ready list. This is going to get big.

The RECON team will be driving the route by motorhome in May 2011 to confirm the route, fuel availability, motels, campgrounds and driving schedule. watch for updates when they are on the recon mission the last two weeks of May.

Motel space will be tight. Motels are already taking 2012 reservations so don't wait to sign up.
