calling out to 2002 Ouray FSJ Invasion attendees

[fulsizjeep]

I know there are some of you still around from the old days... :D I am working on a web project to build a collection of pictures of everyone's FSJ that was at the 40th FSJ Anniversary Celebration also known as the 2002 Ouray FSJ Invasion. As in THE INVASION. I have quite a few on file, but now is an opportunity to submit one of your favorites. If you send me a picture, I will do my dayumdest to include it. Post here or send to my email address at work - flint_boardman@nps.gov. I have a much bigger mailbox at work than at home. I am looking for 800x600 size if you can provide that.

Again - specifically your favorite picture of your FSJ at the 2002 event.

Thanks! :cool:

[fulsizjeep]

eh, yup... Thanks everyone.

Todd - I think I see 4 recognizable there. You, Daniel <?>, Bryant, DLyons <?>... I just found that pic in 1024 size on my work computer. I must have downloaded some of the pictures here. So, there are more to go through on this end. You want this pic in the album?

So, LRRH, which one would you like in the album?

FSJeeper - look forward to seeing the pix when you can!

Thanks!

[chrisnsarah]

I'm going to dig mine out too.

[LRRH]

i like the upclose view =)

[Jeepstress]

LRRH - I think we should use the one of your rig in front of the Ouray sign. That is classic! :D

[johnwaynejeep2]

LRRH,

I'd kill to hike that mountain in the background. It looks like a blast.

[ColeTrickle]

Yeah, got some on another puter. I'll get ya some in the near future.

BTW...this is for the "REAL" Invasion, right?
Not some copied, east coast :D tongue.gif BS show and shine, right?

I had planned to attend but the engine in my Honcho died. I spent my vacation pulling the engine instead of going to Ouray. I have never been so disappointed! :(

As for invasion... Yes sir, this be the real thing. ;) So to not discourage the east coasters, I want y'all to be nice and welcome them one in all. Youngerjeeper will be one representing the east coast contingency. :D All y'all welcome to the ride above the treeline experience. Oh, and I hear there is occasional drinkin goin on around the KOA in the evenings too...

Hey Dave - ooops... I wasn't sure I had that right or not. Yeah, it was Joe! He romped that Jtruck truck purty hard at Ouray. smile.gif

Jeepguzzi - yeah, you got it! That feller with the teal waggy was Daniel right? I heard stories about y'all tryin to get that phat RiverBeast up Imogene. heh, I heard stories... :D

Back on topic... Y'all 02 Invasion folks cough up those pix. :cool:

[River Beast]

Flint,

Yeah,,, I like that pic.... I also have one at the trailhead of P-Gulch ( the day I wasted my axles)
http://fsjworld.tenmagazines.com/gallery/Riverbeast/77251.jpg

BTW... that is RdHawg ( Brian) right behind me... if you recall... the very first day he snapped a centerpin on the rear axle and we were up till 1am under campfire and flashlights fixin it... and pounding a few brewskies... :D

[LRRH]

I would say use the ouray sign as the opening shot of your project and then use the upclose shot later on =)

but if I can have only 1 make it the town sign.

I like this one too. =)

Well, dang, our 7 yr old Dell PII 450 mhz computer skidded off the trail and into a canyon yesterday after my last post. Just got back up on a PIII 800 mhz box running with the old hard drive from the Dell. We'll see how this goes. Got no sound, but can live with that fer now. It is kinda sluggish too... Kinda like our FSJs, old Dinosaurs! :D

RB, I tried to find the pic of my tent on the truck to no avail. I think it's on my old pc that I'll have to resurect to get it. Could you post it up for me?
Thanks,

[janie]

Wow Flint, those are some incredible pic's. I'm still drooling all over my keyboard. :D

[fulsizjeep]

Thanks Janie! It is something to hold me over during cabin fever season and maybe provide eye candy for others here... Tho, we have no snow, well very little, not really enough to mention anyway. So, I really don't have any cabin fever, but just in case I do... :D

http://frontier.net/~mystkblu/06ouray/4yrsago/wally_poughkeepsie_02.jpg

Krista and I were both so wrapped up with the event that year, I only took 34 pix that whole week! And that was just for one day out. My favorite one off our camera is Wally just getting on top of Poughkeepsie right as I took out the side wall of the RF tire. ;) My younger sister was riding shotgun and was living in the flatlands of W TX for many years before she came out that summer. She had a death grip on the wing window brace and her 1/2 gallon of Jim Beam when we went up. :eek: That was her medication for dealing with the extreme heights and drop offs! ;)

BTW, I did recommend against consuming alcohol at those elevations, but she has never been much for listening to advice.

[twoponchos]

What is the story with the yellow wag that seems to be a little worse for wear?

[RdHawg]

IRBOB with Rob from holland riding shotgun, on the last day of the event tested his truck's handling ability at 50mph in a 25mph corner on the way back from a trail ride. A triple gainer over the ditch and thru a fence says he didn't make it. Fortunately Bob was alright, Rob got a few stitches in his head from a non-nailed down toolbox and had to have one finger nearly re-attached. A bit more excitement than any of us wanted but except for the wag I think everything worked out.

[fulsizjeep]

Woof was a beautiful Waggy too. Pretty sure it had a new 6" spring lift on it when he came up for the Invasion. That is probably a testimony that the handling indeed changes when you lift 'em. He used the lid from a Planters nut can to get that color. :cool:

[irbob]

My ears were ringing so I hurried right over and sure enough, you were all talking about me, LOL. Here are some pix to remember:

Imagene (http://nocache.homestead.com/FSJeep/Imogene.html)

The good ol days, how I miss them.

[fulsizjeep]

Hey Bob! You ARE alive! Any news on Woof II?

[LRRH]

this is the only one I have of Joe.

http://lrrh462.homestead.com/files/joe.jpg

Speaking of which....anyone need a beer??

I don't think I've ever seen anyone conceal 12 cans of beer in their clothing at one time and proceed to drink all that they can't give away. =)

Does anyone have additional pictures of that white Cherokee? I'd sure like to see them. smile.gif

Bryan, got yer FSJ tent posted... ;)
Was gonna do it last night but the computer was not cooperating. The red Truck you mentioned is Jason Whitaker a local CFSJA member. He has a nice 78 Waggy w/401 and J20 axels. There is a pic of it on the site here at the picnic:

What a great time, wish I could have made some of the subsequent trips, maybe this year. Louise is still running great!!
