Well, if the ideal of excluding the lesser equipped (stock or otherwise) is accepted... there is no fundamental difference between that and a Sierra CLub ideal of exclusion. If we cannot embrace the 4wheel users as a whole. We are not fighting for access. I cannot be that shortsighted

Yep, some went out last night, the rest went out today.  Did you go and meet him?  He is a great guy, along with the rest of the crew.

Yup, that was us stopping for a quick bite before heading back to Fresno. We left the Springs at about 6:30 and we were in Placerville by about 2pm. We had to stop three times, one for a broken drive shaft, and another time to weld a spring pirch on a 4Runner, and then we all got in a huge traffic jam on Walker hill and it took a while to get past everyone.

The food was good! I've eaten at that TacoSmell many many times..

We were on our way back from the Toyota Land Cruiser Rubithon, and testing the rear axle disconnect :thumbs:
We had a great time and I got to meet some great customers as well :beerchug:

The Jeepers Jambo will be my next trip to the con.

Hope to see you at MCR4
