Yes, there is some parking at the site and an overflow parking lot across from it.
I'll be heading up on Saturday AM, early, with jeep in tow. Larry Aiello is the best POC about logistics there. If you would like to come that would be great, just let him know.
Thanks.

Hmm... Perhaps I can sell this with the wife by telling her she can take the truck and go shopping at the Kittery Outlets. There is also a CMP John C. Garand match that afternoon.. Decisions, decisions.

That's the intent, to help educate the public and highlight Ft McClary's role throughout history - 300+ years of history.
However, I don't think they would be opposed to another vehicle and showing them off to the public regardless of being in uniform or not. Shoot Larry an email and ask as he's to coordinator for the event and lives up there. His email is in the initial posting now.
I think they would be happy to have people show up and help make the experience more interesting for the public.

I'll be seeing him tonight at our VFW and I sent him a heads-up email regarding your attempts to make contact. I'll let him know you're trying to reach him.

Thanks to Rick Lee for participating in the Ft McClary Veterans event. His M38 is a beaut! And he generously helped to figure out some of the quirks and foibles of my M38. Thanks!
