[E5EDDIE]

I'm in, should be with my girls, but-shock of shocks-my lady might be coming along too! Mud ain't her thing at all, this might be a sign of the apocalypse or something...The Sheets is the one on 33W on the way out of town, right?

[Devildog]

Me and yjsos will be in old blue and USMCGunner will be in his jeep. I hope no one gets the sheetz hahahha

Haha.

Use the google maps link up top for directions to the sheetz. Make sure you give my phone a test call early this morning if you can. I'll be on the freeway on my way down for the beltway run. I don't get reception on the trail, so I'm going to be getting up early sunday and heading back into town so my phone works.

[E5EDDIE]

Great to put faces to some of you, Alex and I had a good time out with y'all, and I learned alot on recovery today! Thanks for pulling me out Denise! Sorry you had a rough go of it today Chris, if you need hands on the repair side post up, I'd be glad to come help. Till next time...-Ed

[Devildog]

Dam we had a great time even if Chris did snap an axle. We went back in and had a great time going up stream. We found that some of the bypasses are more wicked then the trail. Then we found a cool place for an overnighter. Great meeting everyone to.

[02tj]

same here! It was nice to get together. I felt like we didnt even really have to get to know each other to see how we could work together. Guess all the team building really works! Chris....... man sorry for your luck today. If it makes you feel better, I had a bunch of mad gerbils in my jeep on the way home. Got some awefull noises comming out from under there! guess I know what Ill be doin next weekend!

[korisu56]

Thanks a lot everyone. See post on Good ole Chris

[miljeep]

I was going to come home and go to bed, but not having that video online is killing me. If youtube will let me upload it, you should have it by tonight.

[korisu56]

Sweet. Josh wants to make sure that the couple you got from him, specially the hill and starter one get online so he can link to his brother.

[miljeep]

I won't be able to do them all tonight. I will do all of them tomorrow, but the one that has peaked everyone's curiosity is the one where it has a loud and thunderous "snap" in it.

[miljeep]

This is just a view from inside our jeep. It is rather boring, but we uploaded it for family. I think I am going to look into mounting a camera inside the jeep for rides like this. It could be some interesting video.
