This years event was outstanding!  Just made it home at 2 this morning.  Big thanks to all of the organizers and vendors.  Got to wheel some great trails with some great folks.  And way better choice of campground

I want to thank everyone also.  I had a great time on Friday and met many great people.  Thanks for organizing it and I hope to wheel with the gang again. Sorry I did not meet up with the gang on Saturday but had fun wheeling with my brother and buddy. All of us in Trackers. 
I had two funny experienced on Saturday.  As those that wheeled on Saturday know there were packs of Toyota FJs on the trails, We were approaching trail 14 as 4 FJs were backing out of the trail and about 6 were waiting.  The FJ trail leader warned us that the mud was too deep and came all the way up to his bumper.  We waited until they backed out of the way then proceeded right on in as they all sat and watched.  We easily went through the trail and keep laughing how the FJs wouldn't even attempt it.  The second funny experience was at my expense. We were driving the trail into Lake Christy. I was leading and have driven the trail many times before. I drove into a wet section that is always there and in about 10 feet into the water my front tire was submerged. I was stuck like I have never been before. I could not move even an inch.  We hooked up the tow strap to my buddy's Tracker and even with that we did not move an inch. It was like I was set in concrete.  Then we hooked up my brother's Tracker to my buddy's Tracker. Even with the three Trackers strapped together we barely moved but several attempts we did get my Tracker out.  We all had a good laugh.  I talked Mike who works at the Park and he said that mud hole only became that deep only in the last week or two.  Sure surprised me. lol

Hey Joe,

Next year, remind me... I will make sure that we have something for you.

As someone who was a vegetarian for almost 10 years (not quite a vegan, but close)... I understand and would like to make something special for you so that you can enjoy a meal with us.

Hey Everyone!

Had a great time again this year!  Met some great new friends.   Event was outstanding as usual.

Hey Roger, you're quite welcome on the sleeping bag! I'm glad to hear it's too hot for you! LOL  Great meeting you, and can't wait to wheel with you again!

Dan, a big thanks again to You, Jason, George, and grill master Tom for an event that's worth even a 12 hr drive (swampers made our 3 hr drive feel that way)...haha

Sean and Josh- Always great seeing DeVinney, and nice meeting you Josh!  That tracker is pretty sweet!   

Jim (Fullsink18), great seeing you guys again, and tell your Dad again thanks for letting me borrow the tarp, it made the radiator change over alot drier!  (see pic below)   This shows that Jeeps are good for something.....


 


and a big thanks to:

WARN- For the coolest pair of gloves
Low Range- For the beanie I just had to have
Aftermarket 4x4- Because Sean makes some sick products that nobody else in this galaxy makes! 
Zuks Offroad- For my new THONG....
Trail Tough- My Sami will now be spooled!   Schweet!

and to all of our vendors that graciously donated to our shin dig... Thank You!

Can't wait to come back next year! 

TWIN GROVE campground ROCKS!  The best by far!    I showed my wife some pics of the place, and she wants to go back to wheel and stay in one of those little cabins....

After finally getting the right radiator in this morning, Ken and I drove back to DE.   We made great time, and I swear the kick always drives better with mud on it....    

Ken remarked about how great all of you folks were, and welcomed even a non Zuk guy into the family.   
This was his first time wheeling, and he's hooked!   Now, we just have to pry him out of his Rubicon, and get him a ZUK....Mmmm.....

Brian "Zukisidekick"  a.ka. The North Face guy...

Also.....

I have a pile of pics that I'll be uploading to snapfish shortly..I'll post up the link once it's done!

Hey North Face Guy,

Thanks for bringing the additions to the raffle.  The tent is going to come in handy!

[Zukisidekick]
