I'll say...what a weekend. I was lucky enough to come out only with a dent in the front diff and some threads scratched off a couple u-bolts. But all in all a good time. Send those pics when you get a chance Casey.

[Casey]

Made it home safe and sound. I'm going to sleep for a week.
I have alot left to do on "Two Dogs" and I'll need the rest. The doghouse is small and the dog isn't. :eek:
It was clear that the CFSJC was not ready for the ECI but those crazy Georgia boys were!
Young Jeeper was doing laps around Kodak rock for two days and welding in flip flops. Curtis was trying to break his own Jeep to give YJ something to weld.

Carl ....man thats a nice truck. Thanks for the parts..we'll see you on a work day soon I hope. :cool:

Bull Tear showed up...
MC was performing with his 1972 mini bike and giving out E tickets. :D

We also had an apearance by the new "owner" of FSJ magazine. He was there with his family wheeling. His son owns the XJ on the latest cover. He listened to what we had to say and gave us a bit of insight about the direction the mag will go. The jury is out on this one folks.

The hardcore group was there in force. Thanks guys it was great to see everyone again.

I'll post some pics of the wheeling and "mini bike crash" tomorrow...er..later today. Watching a 6'5" 250lb kid riding a mini bike on a loose gravel road is worth driving to NC.

Dangit Zack!

I am sorry to have missed the bike crash; but I felt sure it was coming! Great time this weekend. I have been to them all and this was the most fun; a bit smaller than last year, and not much for those who didn't ride the trails. That said, it was a great time to get to know some fine Jeepers; and the offers for riders by everyone going on the trails was super. I'd say it was a success! I am truly sorry I forgot to bring my camera, but when I can't remember it well; it'll be time to do it again!

Thanks Casey for doing the organization part, another successful year! Me and my Dad had a good time running the entire trail system 4-5 times in 2 days!

As far as welding in sandals..when you get used to the slag and sparks hitting your toes, it's not so bad!! :D!
I'll have some videos later on through the week.

Yup, Chris and i had a good time, it is amazing just how much abuse a q-trac will take and keep on pulling.:eek: I think it will finally force me to step up and make some upgrades ala springover and maybe a dana300 are in my near future.

Thanks to those that made up t-shirts, it was nice to wear something dry saturday morning.:D
