Moab 2008 pics

kennyh · #1 04-10-2008, 09:10 PM

Took off from Wellington Wednesday morning, ran all the way to Moab on 7 cylinders. Bought some new plugs, installed 'em, runs great again. Come to think of it, I may have never had the plugs out. Can you guess which one wasn't firing?

We had a good time on Fins 'N Things today. A little cooler than in past years, but no dust thanks to the rain all day Wednesday. Here are the first pics of the adventure.

After a nice day of wheeling for me, and about 3/4's of a nice day of wheeling for my wife Tammie (she wasn't happy for the last hours) a cigar was called for. I actually smoked a bunch of celebratory cigars that day.

Lol guessing it's the one under the heater box that got skipped on the last sparkplug change?

Great pix keep em coming for us that couldn't get there. WOW that Wag is beautiful! (the ghostflamed rootbeer one) Who's is that?

Oddly, that's the one that was bad. I don't think I skipped it, as I don't think I've ever changed 'em. But just so you'll have more faith in me, it's the FIRST one I did this time. I like getting the ugly out of the way first.

Glad you are having fun! Just wish I could have made it!

My Dad and I got back at about 9 last night. We had a great time!

Will post some pics tonight too.

We got back at 3 today. Was a good run. Traded some video and pix with Ryan and he headed home. Too bad Brad's new Wag had a high steer flaw. Was a real good time though. Very nice to meet new people and make friends as well as hanging out with old friends. Yes, we have pix. There is one with 10 FSJs in it.

Biggest Moab FSJ gathering yet I think. The weather was cool until today. Us, Ryan, Dustin and Michell had breakfast together this morning and the SLC couple went to see more of Arches NP then Us & Ryan headed south. We ran the first couple miles of the south end of Kane Creek on the way home today. That was a treat too!

Will get pix up as we recover.

Here's a shot of Andy before he knew a "Student Driver" plate had been placed by the Jeep Police on his rig.

Here's one after Diana had been "driving" a while and they finally saw the nifty plate.

Here's the ring-around-the-rosie that Flint started...

I posted three Moab videos on youtube.com. Just search for user khanawalt and you should be able to see them.

srobertsfsj · #13 04-13-2008, 07:33 PM

Cool videos Ken! I am hoping someone got me going thru.

FYI, I created an IFSJA YouTube group. I went ahead and added your videos to the group. Makes it easier to search for FSJ specific videos.

It was slow going loading the Jeep in 3" snow and mud was starting to form. We got to Moab at 2pm on Thursday. Phil called us after we were checked in and wondering who we might find. And where are those phone numbers? Dangit, left them at home. We hooked up with the group for the 2nd half of Fin and Things. This is a fun area to play.

Working on the petroglyph pix now. May not get them loaded before I hit the hay. I'm plumb tuckered out!

Petroglyphs. These came out remarkably well given that it was pitch black and we were trying to catch them with flashes.

Could you post a link to the youtube group? I'm not having any luck finding it.

Got it. Thanks! I'm sitting in my Guys' Night Out room in the old dairy barn watching an old episode of Miami Vice, smoking a cigar and surfing the net for more ways to spend money on FSJs. Thanks to all of you for the good times in Moab. Thanks to Dustin for videoing my little hot tub runs. Thanks to Scott & his pa & Flint for the help with the spring, thanks to those I forgot to thank.

Just got home at 3:30 am. Man that was quite a hike to make that loop around to see all the arches. We only unloaded the food and pillows, took the Jeep off the dolly, and are going to bed now the jeeps on the front lawn, im sure we woke up all the neighbors but it is good to be home, calling in "sick" to work tomorrow and may post pics up when we wake up.
