Default Tower Park Military Show Photos

Here are some photos of the Tower Park military meet, aka "Camp Delta" put on by MVCC (Military Vehicle Collectors of California).

The two trucks (M35A2's) in the middle of this photo are the ones I brought this strip is known as deuce & a half row since most M35 owners get a spot at this edge of the park, this April there were 9 but 5 were on the opposite end of the strip.

Haha, yeah took a little over an hour. I have about 20 more, so those will slowly leak onto the net. I also have a roll of film that I need to have developed I pulled out my old Minolta to see if it worked, so if it did then I'll have another 25 pictures as well...

Oh, and one thing to note about the Mule (flat-cart looking thing with that blade attachment, last photo in my second post), you can buy about 4 M35's for the cost of one. It would be cool to own one, but heck 10-12K is a little too much for a military "go-cart".

Thanks! I'd have to agree - sometimes when I'm not careful I'll leave holes in my gravel driveway hehe....

Awesome show, I love anything military but especially have a passion for WW2 anything. I collect guns and memorbilia from that era. We have one of the best museums here, it's the 45th ID museum. Actually has a picture of my grandfather in it, he was in the 45 Infantry Artillery Division and fought in Sicily and France.

I forgot to put mine back in my waverunner once, and my wife was already out on the lake. I was trying to motion her back, but you know women, they don't pay attention to anything. She finally came in and i stuck the plug in real quick and pulled it back ont the trailer to drain it. I put it back in and we were fine.

God, I've done that too many times to count. Even sunk them a time or two. That's why I always get a laugh when when someone starts fretting because they got water in their nitro engine. You ought to try drying out a 3 cylinder SeaDoo GTX. It makes the little nitros soooo simple>

Paint, Some really good pictures, thanks for sharing.
