dewilso Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 I thought it was "Military Air Transport System" ! Thought we'd see some old 124s, 119s & etc . Edit "MATS" we're called "trash haulers", guess it still works ? Dave W. KE5GOH Stuck in the 70's --- In E. Texas
dascom Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Yup, we got our Lot L campground fee paid and registration for show, limited number of hookups, first come, first serve for those.

adept99 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Posted February 25, 2015 As I've mentioned before, we live just outside of Louisville, so for any of you folks coming to the show, if you need a hand with some "tribal knowledge" kind of stuff like routing around town, restaurants, truck service, whatever, please PM me with a phone # & we'll see what we can do.

dascom Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Yes Jack, Wednesday night. Probably need to call the Security number, that's who answered when we called. Looks like pay day by day, I can do that. Going to be a blast. Yamaha V-Star2007 Kenworth T2000 tandem aircutterThermoKing TriPack2003 Holiday Rambler 36' Presidentialshort trips-88 Allegro on Astro
Jack Mayer Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 We are now registered for MATS, and have a campsite Wed through Friday - leaving Saturday. I've confirmed you can get in early for the camping. There are not many spots with electric left.....better get your reservation in if you intend to camp with hookups. They are NON REFUNDABLE, though. Jack & Danielle Mayer #60376 Lifetime Member Living on the road since 2000PLEASE no PM's.

dascom Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 SD, they have maps and directions on their site, our paperwork says Lot L.

Jack Mayer Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Lot L has a mixture of hookups - some 50 and some 30. They also have some sewer and some water. The only guarantee is that you will have at least a 30 amp hookup. No guarantee of anything else. First come, first serve. If your truck does not fit in the lined of sites then you can park it elsewhere - supposedly near. But I'd bet it is lot K.

Scrap Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Post up when the BBQ is on and I'll be over. Seriously though, I'm there all that week and half the next week so maybe we can find some time to talk trucks. The place is an absolute disaster of people on Saturday. Plan on it taking a good while to get out.
Rick & Alana Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 I'm going to be a little stronger on Saturday than Scrap was. If at all possible DON'T go on Saturday!
