Somebody from the California delegation needs to invest in a SEE. You could dig some traffic control ditches for the aforementioned go cart idiots.

Just string a winch cable across the line they are driving. They will get the point quick. Worked for us at Haspin 2 years ago.

Here's some of mine. I like the winch cable idea, we'll try that next time.I wasn't upset about the noise, just the dust. We all knew it was the adults egging the kids on. Azzhos breed azzhos I guess. We put so many rounds thru the SKS, it shook the rail mount loose and also the rings came loose. Holes 30.06 had more muzzle flash than the Garand...he needs a muzzle brake..the tailgate and hoist in the back of my truck would ring every time one was squeezed off with that thing. Djfreema's little girl is a trooper. She had her ears on, and just said," I'm gonna go take a nap now" and crawled up in hs truck and was out, even with all the gun fire! Floyd's truck is very clean. I was gonna scoot under it to check out the dual brake system, but I just wasn't motivated enough due to the breeze we had. Yellowbronc's "RV" is sweet! Hundy has given me "deuce envy" The bob works great. He's a smart guy and does good work. Devin's truck looks awsome with the A3 wheels. I think this event needs to blossom into a full 3 or maybe a 4 dayer, too many things to do, lotsa places to drive to, and I have alot of different ideas in my head..poker runs, a timed race of some sort, maybe an obsticle course, tire changing...if I never have to do another one, it will be too soon! Goofy little things. Anyway, here are some more pics. Can't wait 'till the next one!

I cant wait for the next trip and I promise I will stay more than 24hrs next time! Just bad timing with the new baby and the wife being sick. I tried getting Will's fire walking picture but there was too much delay on the camera. Did you hear about the guy that was killed on Saturday while we were out there? ATV vs. vehicle I think. My daughter had a great time and my other daughter cried when she saw the "ducie" was gone without her, getting them trained early. Will, I'll take another shirt, I'll pick it up when I deliver the coolers either this or next weekend.

Only larges left, but they will be here if you still want one. The fire was HOT! Didn't melt anything though. Nathan, beach trip when it warms up?
 
Beach trip...I will be going all winter as well, in fact, this next weekend I plan to roll the duece out there.
I will try to see if I can arrange a trip when the weather is optimal though.

It would be great to get a trip out there! Let me know if you do any Gorman runs too.
 
Nathan -
Beach trip? Hmmmm. Haven't tore up Pismo since I was 40ft off the deck in a Piper Comanche. Scared the Beejeezuz outa the clam diggers. :wink:
Ya know, I think I know that Will Wagner guy.

There is all kinds of Off Roading in and around Red Rock and Dove Springs. Store close by as well.

There is talk of another get together in Nov or December at the MV bone yard out in Fontana.

Red Rock is a cool place, but the BLM is heavy there. I got a ticket...$150.00 worth... for beaing 3 feet off a "marked" trail. Don't ask. Absolutly NO grey area there. It is OK on a motorcycle, but I wouldn't want to do big trucks there. The burro Schmidt mine is there...cool place. Site B would be cool for the big stuff. 30 or so miles north of Kramer Jnt, on 395. I HATE going the bros. I spend money I don't have :(
