What a great run. The weather was near perfect and the company was great. It was nice to see the variety of rigs and experience levels. Thanks Matt and Mike for leading/gunning. And thanks RS for the killer pizza.

My 40 performed flawlessly. A huge thanks to Martin for helping me with it!

Thanks, Jeff for my new avatar picture....I don't know how I did that either....too much throttle I think?

Got me how you did it - I didn't notice until after the fact that you were trying to impress us with your 2-wheel driving abilitite.

If anyone wants a hi-res version of your picture just PM me an email addy to send it to

More PICS

Great times were had. Wish I could have made the pizza party but since skipping work, I needed to get home and make up for it. I hope this becomes more or less a regular thing this summer. When I saw 21 rigs there I was initially thinking we wouldn't make it off the trail until 8pm
What a great group of guys and "gals".

On to the pics....Parking Lot pics. 1st pic is prior to that shopping cart hitting the side

Last pic was Matt's kid trying to Judi-Chop me

Gratuitous shot of mine and Moby.....

Let me kick the tires. Between the two I think they kicked lets see 21 vehicles x 4 = 84 tires....Forgot to mention the spares

Airing down shots. Some "ugly 40's" there

Keep in mind I didn't say it. Don't kill the messenger.....

Pics on the trail. I was having too much fun to stop and take pics so no real action shots from me this time

 

[Nemo]

Just as corsair stated. I have the high res versions but didn't want to overwhelm you guys with large photos. Let me know. A couple of these overview shots turned out really nice.

Those wheel stands seem to get bigger and bigger every year.... Sorry to see such a pretty Marmot on its side - good thing those fenders are easy to replace.

Thanks Matt for leading and organizing and Marco for directions...

That was a blast. Sorry I could not stay for pizza..

Terry, your FJ40 still looks super cool, maybe more so now that it has a battle scar. Drive that aound CB for a while before you fix it..

What a great afternoon and the trail was super fun. That would also be a fun last minute trail/family camping site to consider.

Man looks like a fun time

Was thinking of you guys while I was working away

....too much throttle I think?

LOL! Too many cylinders maybe?

 

[Rezarf]

Nother' great looking group and run!

Wow Hulk... your boys are dead ringers for you man! What a great run, sorry to see the damage on the beautiful 40! But hey, it ain't doing anyone any good under some car cover in your garage.

I love it, great run thanks for the pics everyone!

Actually Jake is my son and Charlie is Matt's; and they do look like brothers.

Quick Question

I know this is way after the fact, but does the section of Slaughterhouse where everyone did their wheelstand have a formal name--is that section of the trail called anything in particular?

Skidmarks? Butt Clencher?

No idea if it has an official name or not...If not, how about "The Tubb" in honor of Terry

 

[nakman]

I like "the Tubb" certainly more creative than "that one spot by the tree.."
