Yikes, can't wait to hear the whole story Gregg. I'm unlikely to make this run, unless the Gods decide to favor me. Have fun!

So, what service roads are you guys planning on running?
My only issue, is staying off the paved roads... Mr police ossifer won't like me too much

mytruck · 09-13-2004, 07:48 PM

We'll have us a convoy headed up there good buddy, and we'll put you in the cradle..he he
Rob is talking about 74-75 to Lonesome Lake. Lots of options.

Tell ya what. Leave your rig at Safeway and i will take it up for ya

Anyway to get off early?

Mrs. Crash · 09-17-2004, 03:31 PM

Wow I guess my whining at work actually worked this time. " No one ever works for me cause I work the late shift and I never get to go on these kind of runs with my family cause I work the late shift... boo hoo" I got the night off

Crash and I and family now get to go after all so we will be there my 4 runner

KevyWevy · 09-17-2004, 04:28 PM

wont be there. the only people who can work for me will both be down in arizona at a funeral.

lorentje · 09-17-2004, 08:47 PM

so i'm in portland, and wondering if you think this is worth the trip tomorrow. i've been out messing around with friends in VT, snow mostly, but never been out on the trails with a crew. i figured this would be a good test to see if i want to get more into it. i would prefer something close, but if my runner is stock, it probably should be something this mellow. ya'll think it would be worth it? can we expect some snow? hate to be a poser, but you have to start somewhere...

KevyWevy · 09-17-2004, 11:57 PM

this would be an extremely easy run lorentje. nothin too much, you probably wont even need to put in 4WD, maybe once or twice for a few mins. most likely too early for snow.

'91yota · 09-18-2004, 12:01 AM

wish i could, but saturdays are the hardest to get off. some people just left my work too so theres no one to trade with. you guys should have fun, its been raining over here for like the last 2 weeks so there should be some fun stuff to play in.

I think you and your rig did great

Especially for a two-wheel drive rig

Was it worth the drive?

Thanks to all who made today's run a success and a great time! I appreciate everyone waiting for me when I went off to play on the obscure side trail for a few and I really appreciate how everyone stuck around for the various twists and turns that the itinerary took

I had a great time and it turned out to be just what I had hoped for. A great run with great people. Too bad the mountain was being shy, but that happens. On the plus side, the lake was beautiful and it was an added plus to get to speak to the fire watch on Suntop.

***Corey*** · 09-18-2004, 07:53 PM

Thanks again for having me as a passenger Rob, your truck was awesome.
Thanks for all showing up today, and Jen, thanks for making the drive up from Portland.

I will not have any pics up until I get my PC fixed which could be quite awhile.
It is not cooperating one bit.

Had a great time, and have to get some late night dinner in me, I am starved

Mrs. Crash · 09-18-2004, 09:02 PM

Crash family is now home. All in one piece and probably bed bound soon. lol we are both exhausted. I have a better excuse though since I worked til 3am and had an hour and a half sleep before we left. It was well worth lack of sleep and I'm so excited that I ended up getting the night off. I can't even beging to explain how much fun we had and to meet everyone was wonderful. It turned out to be a really great group. Thanks so much for making us feel so welcome and making it so much fun. We look forward to the next chance to meet up with you all again. I will see if I can get a pic or two up soon also.

mytruck · 09-18-2004, 09:38 PM

And good company! And plenty of 'Yotas. Trudie & I had a blast.

Great to hook up with friends and meet some new ones.

Jim

ChrisCo · 09-18-2004, 09:57 PM

I concur with what has already been said. T'was a fun trip. Even the kiddo had a good time, once I got her to stop being so darned paranoid about everything.

Kudos to Chris for making that hill climb

After seeing you climb that, I can smell a locker in my near future

Family Crash: It was good to have y'all along! You folks are welcome on any outting we have

mytruck · 09-18-2004, 10:53 PM

WATRD · 09-18-2004, 11:18 PM

...and we covered a lot of ground.

lorentje · 09-19-2004, 06:14 PM

SO fun! thanks for having me along, it was definitely worth the trip! i'm sorry to have had so many issues and thanks to everybody for being patient with me along the way. i need to get the 4x fixed and then hope to get out again soon! it was so good to meet everybody! i'll email pics to corey once he gets up and running to load up, there's a couple good ones
