As always, had a great time at RC. If you like rock crawling, short of driving all the way out to Moab in Utah, Rausch Creek is the best there is on the East Coast. Were covering more and more routes there with the big trucks. We were unable to do Matt's newly scouted trails on Saturday due to a breakdown on Jim's truck (no brakes) but I hope he got to do some of them on Sunday.

Great meeting new faces, and the old ones too. See you all again in the Spring!

Nice! I'll take any beer-flavored can of stuff sitting out in the woods for the past 18 months or so after wheeling all day!

I'm still rather impressed that nobody even broke any mirrors. Not counting Jim's brake break, no mechanical failures, either.

My first long drive in the M109 went great- 485 miles, round trip. I definitely need to remember a packing checklist. I was missing 2 important things- a budd socket to remove a flat (had swench and jack) & my ****ed sleeping bag. 32mi of that trip was to a Walmart up i81. On the bright side, I had the inverter running all weekend, so people could charge phones.

i was talking about the truck. we're guys, we make those kinda jokes. shes a real good girl though... i havent seen her in 10 years and shes just as cool as when i met her back then. im not sure if she liked bouncing around in the deuce on the trails... i dont know if her dog liked it either.... haha. might take some getting used to!

"... i dont know if her dog liked it either...."

Don't you remember that commercial, "...RRRRogs RRRRuv Trucks!...." Or mebbe I really would have won the 'Senior Citizen in Attendance' prize.

Great photos. Betcha they don't get a lot of tractors running those trails. Love those mountains.

Looking forward to April.

 

[Wildchild467]

I don't remember that commercial, but dogs and trucks is the all American thing. If Koda didn't like it, she better start getting used to it! besides my front seat is now coated in dog hair.... It's all good though... Souvenir of a great weekend! Cheers!

Thanks to everyone for a great time and event. We had a blast. Thanks also to all who helped me out with my Deuce. The brake issue really had us concerned about getting home. We made it all safe and sound. We had a great time and met some great people. Thanks, Jim & Jenn

Glad you made it home OK. Does that mean you're done with my 3/8 ratchet?
