I am back from MCR2!
« on: Aug 18, 2002, 12:51:36 AM »
Hey Guys!

I just got back and it was alot of fun! And we had a huge raffle again! I won a sleeping bag  :bowdown: :bowdown: BigMike :up:

Anyways, Marlin and his wife are still on the road (or they pulled over to sleep). I drove his 1980 Crawler Truck, and just got home at 4:30A Sunday morning. Which was cool because we left Fresno Sat. Morning at 4:30AM, so my MCR2 was a complete 24 hour event for me  :greengrin:

Anyways, time for :sleeping: and I will post some more pics later today (whenever I wake up) and I know others took alot of pics too!

And btw, We are planning for a Third Marlin Crawler RoundUp, some weekend, same place, same time, same channel (what'sup) and it will become a full time Annual Event for Marlin and his Customers to come out and have a good time!

Anyways, cya zzzzzzzzzz :sleeping: :hatgrin:

wow, I thought you guys were leaving just after me and that was just after the raffle  :o

Even though I was rigless I had a great time and got to meet (in person) a lot of people that I have "chatted" with on-line. Always good to put a face with a name. I am allready looking forward to next year!

I had a great time, and like Brandon said, it was great to meet people in person after chatting online with them,, I missed the 1st round-up,, but plan on attending all other future ones..

Oh and the raffle was awsome, (although I didnt win anything, ::), the prizes were excellent !!!

Yup,  I had a blast.  almost put my rig on its top comming down true/old sluce.  We left the slabs at 5pm and had camp set up at buck by 8pm.  And that was including playing around at soup bowl.  It was good to see and meet everybody.
