Highlakes 10/8/05 (NOW WITH PICS!!!)

[Geno]

You better get this weekend off or call in sick.  Don't be 

[Ramrod]

Yes there will be no flaking out lilbuddy.  If it makes you feel anybetter that buck is not as big as it looks in the pictures and when I shot it was running and I took the shot really fast and the scope hit me in the face and gave me a huge cut that bled everywhere and is going to leave a big scar.  after that I had to drag it trough the river for like half a mile till I could get close to my car.

[RHG]

Whats up! I got a freebie today...an entire IFS pil o crap from BlackDog out of his parts runner. I am going to yank the V6 calipers, the hubs, halfshafts for myself. He said the truck was wheeled pretty well so I am also going to pull the diff open and see whats in there. Who knows, might be a locker or something The rest is going to the junkyard. I feel a little more comfortable wheeling my junk now that I have spare parts. Im going to take a tie rod or two off also. Hopefully I will get the swampers mounted up tomorrow or tuesday. Lilbuddy you are not allowed to Puss out. Tell that manager that you are going and thats the end of the conversation...dont get fired though

[Ramrod]

Just have your grandma die for the day and you'll be good to go.  Nobodys gonna say anything about that

[Ramrod]

oh yah rhg spares are always good

[TEXCRAWLER]

      I really wished I could make it but I have someone coming from Oregon to buy my Land Cruiser.   Hopefuly the next run up there will be a snow run.    

[RHG]

Just leave the title under the door mat and have him wire the cash into your account. Problem solved, get your butt in the Zuk and lets go wheeling. Oh hey, what locker crap were you talkin bout when you left Tonys? PM me bout it.

[Ramrod]

so did you get the day off lil guy

[RHG]

Ya didya tell the boss man you aint coming in? Hey if ya get it off are you camping out or just making it a day trip?

[Ramrod]

just a day trip for me

[RHG]

Yeah, bigblue your gunna go party in chico right? I'm wondering if lilbuddy and/or Geno will. Thats a long ride to just go for the day and then head back home.

[Ramrod]

yep chico it is.  I think they might camp.  I might but that just means that much more I have to bring and leave out front of a dorm all night

[lilbuddy]

I might be camping if enough people want to camp. I know Geno was thinking about it.

FIREBALL so are you getting your weak 4-runner up there or not? Just kidding, but are you coming? Tell mike to come up here, he needs to.

[lilbuddy]

WEATHER FORECAST! http://www.weather.com/activities/recreation/outdoors/weather/tenday.html?locid=95973&from=weekend_topnav_outdoors

OK so I think I know what time to meet and I think this seems like a good time to me.

MEET AT 9:30AM IN THE HOME DEPOT PARKING LOT OFF OF PARK AVE/SKYWAY EXIT OFF OF 99

[RHG]

Im camping if you are lilbuddy...ooooh the weather will be perfect. Nice!

[kiyul4130]

this sounds kinda fun i think i might be in ill know by tomarrow i think.

[kiyul4130]

chris let me know if this is going to be overnight or not.

[IronClad]

i'll see if i can barrow a buddies truck to go up.. what time do you guys plan on being at inskip ?

[RHG]

Hey your a good trail ride coordinator...even threw in the weather report. 9:30! Bastid...I got to get on mapquest and see what kind of drive I got. I thinks 2-2.5 and thats hauling booty so I better give myself some time since I'll prolly be running heavy. Gear/gas/swampers/my new sliders...it adds up. Hey lilbuddy if we camp are there fires aloud? I want to bring my favorite...steak. yum. Let me know cause im going to do some shopping either thursday or friday. Lilbuddy do you have a highlift jack? I dont and I REALLY dont have the money for one. I just want to make sure someone in our group has one. What channel are we going to run? Ight sounds good, I hope we have a good sized pack with us, this will be fun

[FIREBALL]

Ya, i'm still planning on goin.
RHG, I think that there are no camp fires allowed, but the rangers are usually out of there pretty early. I just wait til it's about dark and go for it. Keep it resonable and watch out in the morning, that seems to be the time when they get in kinda early and catch ya makin breakfast.
I've got a high lift if no one else does and I can leave it with LB when I leave.
I think you should be able to do vacaville to chico in under 2 hours. I do paradise to fairfield in 2 hours or less in my f250.

[Ramrod]

It took me 3.5 hours to get to chico last time and I was only going 60 on I-5 cause of wind but that is from sonoma so I'd say 2.5 from vacaville at the most

[RHG]

Well thanks for the info guys, your lots of help. Like big blue said, I-5 all depends on how many 5-o's are out, the wind and how slow my truck wants to go. I'll give myself plenty of time, no worries. Fireball I am going to have to crawl under your ride and check it out cause that front end has got some major flex. The pic in your avatar is sweet. So far who all for sure is going? Lilbuddy, big blue willys, Fireball, me, geno and...

[Ramrod]

I'm trying to get a guy I know with a jeep to go

[RHG]

Coool, I'll make sure I bring my tow strap. Just kidding. Deffinatly get him to go, this will be an awsome run.

[over_rev]

You guys suck!,RHG,BBW....I could have left with yall....But Im going tor the "Homerun"  Leaving friday hitting fordyce and then CON Backwerds should be back by monday night  

[FIREBALL]

I'll talk to a buddy of mine who just finished a sick ass 85xtra cab with a 4.3 and flatbed. It's super clean and he needs to get some time on it, make sure the bugs are worked out.

[lilbuddy]

Hey guys! If anyone wants to or needs to call me feel free! My number is 530-521-8002.

So far Id like to leave Chico no later then 9:30. Id like to get up to Dolly-O donuts and meet up with everyone else about around 10:15 ish. So for the paradise people, want to meet up at Dolly O at 10:15?

Also I think its going to be:
Me, my bro, geno, Fireball, Bigbluewillys, Ironclad, im going to call Hans, RHG...shoot i know theres more but I cant think of them...sorry if I forgot you.

Anyway call me if you need me!

[Ramrod]

How far is the highlakes from chico?  just to let you guys know I'm not bringing any spare parts and only a couple tools cause I have nowhere to put it cause I'm staying at some dorms right in the middle of party central and it would get stolen for sure
