Will there be a 2004 MAR? Does anyone have a recommendation as to which yearly gathering is best? Discuss... thanks -- Dave Morin Windsor, VT '88 RRC (3.5 EFI, OME MD, 245/75's)   Alyssa Brown (Alyssa) Senior Member Username: Alyssa Post Number: 443 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Monday, January 19, 2004 - 02:39 pm:    Ooh, there better be a 2004 MAR! On the East Coast, that's got to be the best event, IMHO. You should also be pretty close to Roverfest in Killington. The Uwharrie Safari in NC is a great event if it's muddy (and just ok if it's dry). There's a pretty extreme event in Ontario called Hallowe'en Extreme.   Robb Sundmaker (Robb) Member Username: Robb Post Number: 130 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Monday, January 19, 2004 - 03:23 pm:    Down here in GA we have Southern Appalchian Expedition (SAE) the first weekend of November. Had over 100 Land Rovers in 2003 attend. About 1/3 the size of MAR. MAR is the biggest I know about and alot closer to VT.   Alyssa Brown (Alyssa) Senior Member Username: Alyssa Post Number: 445 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Monday, January 19, 2004 - 03:24 pm:    Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. That's a great event, too!   David Morin (Sporin) Member Username: Sporin Post Number: 130 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, January 19, 2004 - 04:53 pm:    I'm thinking that Roverfest is no more???? Not sure. MAR looks to be the one to plan for.

This will be the second year. Good turnout last year, and good coverage in LRM as well. Great trails and great people behind the scenes.   Tim '92 RR (Snowman) Senior Member Username: Snowman Post Number: 655 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Monday, January 19, 2004 - 09:43 pm:    I always wondered why there was not a Discoweb specific event,can you imagine that? Sort of a scary thought but it really would be fun. I guess because of the vast difference in geographical locations of everyone here it's impossible. Let's see what would we need to pull it off: shooting range, trails, food, what else? Tim   Matthew A.

Mostly private attendance though. There is of course the National Land Rover Rally in Moab every september.. DOH!!... thats by far the biggest I think..   Matthew A.

It could be Moab - it could be the San Juans. their site for info is http://www.solihullsociety.org/ usually a large turnout.
