Gilbert PA Mules

Post by major519 » Fri Sep 09, 2016 1:30 pm

Heading to Gilbert for the first time next week. Wondering if any of our mule affectionados are headed there?
I will be searching for elusive mule parts as usual and hoping to meet up with any other enthusiasts that will be in attendance.
Camping out from Thursday onwards.

The show was fantastic.
I had a hard time discerning how many mules were there in total but my guess is around 6-8 minimum.
It was nice to see Tim's 4cyl and hear a running demo of what a real one sounds like! Can't wait now to get mine together.
I managed to scrounge a few parts up, not a whole lot available as far as Mule items were concerned.
Lots of cool VN era collectables of which I purchased some to add to my growing collection.
Dummy me, no pics taken as I was busy swapping :D

Data Plate; I see you list your location as Florida. The furthest guy I found at the show was from Georgia. There may have been others from further away but I am judging this based on license plates seen.

Well the drive from Canada was certainly worth it and I will be putting this show into my calendar for future plans!
Had my camper trailer, my wife and my two kids (black labs) for the show. It was enjoyed by all of us. My missus made some new friends as did I and my dogs enjoyed all the attention and treats they could scrounge up.
