I have to do some front end axle work before I head up there. Let's hope I get it done in time.
I always have my camping gear ready for the next go around.
Getting excited!

I have an announcement to make.......
4 wheel magazine is doing a story on this meet for an upcoming issue!
They will be out taking pictures, checking out our rigs, and asking for info on them to share with their readers. They will only be out on Friday the 4th and leaving by 4:30 pm, so if you want to be involved, be ready to hit the trails during the day.

I'll be down there that Saturday as well, but I'll probably be wandering around with some of my local "Jeep" folks as they're having a Jeep Jam that same weekend.
Should be a heck of a good time!

Cool! Make sure you come over and introduce yourself to the group, and try to reserve some time to go out on a trail or two with this group.

Shouldn't be too hard to pick my truck out in the crowd
As for the trail ride, we'll see how long my stuff holds together. SMORR has been a bit rough on me, as 50% of the times I go down there, I wind up riding home on the back of someones trailer by the end of day 1
Hmm, sounds like you need to be a little nicer to your rig , either way come by and say Hi, I'll run with Jeeps also, doesnt matter to me. We're all going to have a good time.

Time is almost upon us for this meet! Woo Hoo!
There are people already on the highway heading to the park as I type. There will be a bunch showing up on Thur getting set up so they can head out early Fri am with 4 wheeler & Off Road Magazine.
We will giving away a few goodies so make sure you find me and get a raffle ticket stub before Sat dinner.
Anybody that arrives mid day, just try to reach us by CB, head out to the trails, or look for the Serious Explorations Banner at the campsites.
See you all there, Travel safe!

Hell, the last time I was down there I managed to shear off the high steer bolts on the way back to camp...... on an access trail
Lady luck does not allways favor me...X2 on the rest.
I"ve got the last few things buttoned up on the truck last night, still shooting to be at the park Saturday Morning!

Hey guys,
Bad news. My rig isn't reliable enough to drive it 10 hours northward, hit on it, and drive it 10 hours back home. I put stuff back together last night and I'm having driveline issues & vibrations, and I simply don't trust it. (I probably took all the slack and junk out of it, and now the "next weakest thing" is bad now.)
For that reason, of needing to drive it the entire way, and needing to test drive it locally first, I will not be meeting you guys after work ends at 5:00PM here today. Seriously, I'm bummed.
POST PICS OF EVERYTHING !!!
HAVE FUN !!!
