[highlandercj-7]

We're about 4.5 hrs from Warrenton and FaaQ county lol.. Never seen so many cops in one area in my life. I used to roll through 17 most every weekend when I was active duty in NC.

[crazy4ink]

my wife and I just talked about this and it looks like (as of right now) we are going to try and get to this Jeep show too. Looks like it is a good time!

[highlandercj-7]

Nice, I'll be working the AM shift at the show. I'm always on the mini trail ride section. Hopfully y'all can make it.

[tsgtbob]

Hey Rod!
I might just be able to make this one, this year!
I may even try to shanghai PAHighlander to show up. Gotta get the squid back here from the Philly area:D

How is the MJ attendance? Were there any last year?

[highlandercj-7]

The ultimate MJ was there Commanche and the C stands for Cummins! 4BT long arms 35's NV4500, it's awesome, and pulls 28 mpg lol....

[BuzzHog]

I'll try and make it as well.... anyone coming through south eastern PA, maybe we can meet up and canvoy out there...

[crazy_rubi06]

I might be I'm not sure yet though.

[crazy4ink]

I'll try and make it as well.... anyone coming through south eastern PA, maybe we can meet up and canvoy out there...

I'm just west of Harrisburg, PA so maybe we can meet up.

[BuzzHog]

Sounds good... is this an overnight camp out event?

[highlandercj-7]

It's a one day event. We used to make it a two, but it got to be too much. Used to be the first day at the park and the second trail riding at a wheeling area 25 mins away. You can still camp in the area of the show, but it's not an on site thing.

[crazy4ink]

So who all is definetly going to be at this? I know Damien, his wife, my wife, our daughter and I will be there. We're leaving Friday afternoon to drive over. My 2 year old won't take the 3 hour drive and then an all day show.

[USMCHarleyJeepGuy]

No go for me guys. Too far as I have an EARLY flight Sunday morning to go hit some little islands in the Pacific for work. 5 hours one way is just a bit too much before 14 hours in a plane. Take pics and post 'em up! Have a great time guys.

Which Philly Squid are you talking about.... I am no longer Old fart Squid...I have been officially dubbed "USMCHJG -Wannabe"...LOL I think there should be much stricter limit on our MJ Admin Types...They have too much control. Anyway, logistics are aligned with the planets for this weekend. Unless something changes by Thursday, can't be done.... But don't forget the Jeff Daniels Jeep Show in September......

[highlandercj-7]

Well gents look me up when you get here. I'll be in the woods all am on the trail ride. Then I'm off the afternoon to hang out. We'll take pics for y'all. Here's our set up last year, we'll be in the same spot, same gear. My friend Bob's wicked red YJ will be beside me too:

ya it was a blast def going next year. got alittle sun burnt and only had to get pulled out once on the mud hole on the trail ride. made it first time through but that was in the morning then went later in the day and couldnt get up it skid plate kept hittin the bump on the upside hill. tried and tried but couldnt do it. thats because everyone made it deeper and deeper. was alot of fun def worth the drive. im already buying parts to make the jeep better.
