Yea NP! Hopefully I will be able to make it out to more events after my classes.
I do have an idea for a potential trip in the future. Supposedly there are some Ghost towns in New River Gorge, West Virginia. Not 100 percent on how far away that is but it might be cool to scope out.
That sounds like a lot of fun. I'll also check it out on the web and see if there's any info on it.

Government auctions is the way to go if you want to buy cheap and fix it up. I started doing research on these a while back. You'll need to bring a trailer and haul it away as they don't allow you to hook it up to your vehicle and drive it off. Some example links below:

I've been looking for an M416 for awhile. GovPlanet (and their sister sites) only ever have M101s and M1101 which are bigger and heavier than I want M416 is perfect but hard to find and expensive. There is also a website where they build replica M416 style trailers from ground up however you want. Costs a lot tho.

@AG Sheep
Does it have to be a M416? Reason I ask is, They have been out of service for the military for decades. Most have been all bought up by the Civilian public.
To find one in good shape will cost you monies.
Check out the below site. Every now and then, one will come up. You will have to register to see pix. though..

While you are at it.. search for local Government auctions (ie. Police, National Guard and so on) too. Again, sometimes these things can be located there. Rare, but possible.
I wish you luck. I gave up after a few years of searching for one.

Hi all,. Sorry I missed the last Meetup, had some previous stuff planned. Anyways, I'm hosting 2 clubs for a camping trip to potts mountain Sept 8th. If anyone is interested please let me know.
Also, Scott at dinoot is a heck of a stand up guy.

Yea, the price isnt bad on those when compaired to ones people are selling.
There are a couple that have popped but they are about 2k cost wise. I was looking at the M416 for weight reasons. Not looking to put an RTT or do anything fancy to it. Just an enclosed trailer, with a topper style cover, to throw camping stuff in it.
One the things I contemplate is how often I would actually use it versus the cost.
I'm trackin'. and that is the issue with me as well.
Morris mule has a base frame kit now, so people can build them out the way they want. the down side is, having room and time to build it. I do get the idea and fun of building one yourself. but having a done deal ready to roll. is all the more better.

I had Morris build my trailer. High quality, more than fair pricing, and Morris is amazing to deal with-awesome dude!

How come nobody is trying to get together for the Big Dogs Off Road event this weekend or the Appalachian Toyota Roundup at the end of the month? These are perfect opportunities to do events together.
I personally won’t be available this weekend but I am going to the Round-Up.

Big Dogs is A LOT OF FUN, but its more of a huge drinking party. I'll only go back if I had another buggy.
There aren't as many fun ride around trails when all the hardcore buggy guys are trying to have fun and get their broken rigs out.
