Ha!

First time you showed up in how many years? Glad your hands got over the tool allergy and one of your four trucks could make this time.

Five Joe, five.....

Next rally maybe we can have a mess tent or something so we have a place to hang out if the weather sucks. It is a shame that everybody left Saturday. It's not the same without a Sunday run.

I hope everyone had fun. Other than Chris' dent in his drivers door and bedside, I did not see any damage. It is fun seeing what the vehicles are capable of and watching people enjoy making it over obstacles. It is also fun running into people on the trail and seeing their reactions to the trucks.

I lost my exhaust stack to a tree. Luckily it was hanging on by a hair to the truck. There is one section of the green trail where it is just no fun for the 5ton. Trees are too narrow and it's slow moving trying to navigate between them.

So instead of 3/4 trucks not running it's 4/5. Worse than I thought.

Thank you for volunteering to procure a mess tent!

I would like to point out to all the men that commented on how rain is no biggy, we can tough it out and everyone should come out and enjoy a good trailride, etc. Of the only 2 vehicles to stay through into Sunday, two of the that last group were of the female variety. So my hat is off to the women who braved the squall last night.

Had a great time though. Yes, I did guide Max1008 through some serious trails that our trucks definitely should have avoided, but i was too busy trying to make sure we didn't mess up the good side of his truck so I couldn't get any video. And maybe we should do a summer rally. Sometime warm where we can actually all sit around outside and hangout. The cold wind driven rain really puts a damper on any social interaction. I didn't even get a chance to get the old propane lantern or cards out.

Could we get material together and build a lean to and pavilion ? Some telephone poles. 2x and roof material. 10 people and a Saturday. I am sure Lynn and group would like this done. We could get a plague to put up. I wish we could have gone I needed it with all the bs going on. I could not drive since 4 weeks post shoulder surgery. Looks like a wet great time with good turn out. Any paintball action going on?

You'll have to clear construction with Rausch Creek.

Never saw it heard of paintball at Rausch Creek. Wondering if your thinking of a different place.
