5. Bubba and Freddy the coolest camp dog (that would be dawgtoy's dog and his RV in the background)

Mine didn't turn out good, Paul might have gotten a better one.

[CTENG in KS]

Not a lot of wheelin going on over there, eh?

[79coyotefrg]

oh man, there was LOTS of  wheelin , just gotta wait, my camera  says "corrupt jpeg library"     so i'll have to put my pics  on a disc at walmart  

wait till dtb gets home,  and  some of the others 

[Lady Di]

there was PLENTY of wheeling going on, but I mostly took video, not still pics. You'll have to wait for the DT's and the Bubba's to get more pics of our group

[Lady Di]

OK some pics from Sat.
After waiting (and waiting and waiting and waiting and...well you get the idear) for Glen only to have him run to town for parts for dawgtoy's rig, the bubbas and the mammoths hit the Superlift park.
We didn't get into anything too extreme, mostly 1-2 trails (not difficult but still some exteme climbs and off camber turns) but we did make our way to the rock garden.
I have that on video. Mark did great but not without sustaining more character to the cage.

1. Top of the trail by the rock garden
2. Might be hard to see, but the cage got bent in when he came off a rock and slammed onto his side into the wall.
3. Ditto
4. MrsBubba with the BubbaRunner by the rock garden
5. After winding our way through the aptly named snake trail we took a break at the overlook and waited on our pizza delivery   (I think we should have called Papa Johns as the pizza never actually made it)  

[Lady Di]

I was sitting on the spotters seat behind the stinger taking the pics of road kill joe

[YotaJosh]

Thanks everyone that attended, volunteered, wheeled, and had a good time.

We had a great variety of trucks, cruisers, Tacomas. Everything from stock to extreme.

Here's my pictures. I didn't get as many as I usually do because I actually had a rig this time, and was wheeling it

Getting ready to hit the road:


Sweet Land Cruiser on the end of Buckhorn SE / Don's 101


Drew getting ready to conquer the same hill:


Land Cruiser hitting the slick spot on Fun Run:


Drew coming down one of the steep, loose hills of Buckhorn North:


Land Cruiser giving Concrete Hill a try :


First part of Rubicon Ridge:


Yeah, finally a pic of me :rolleyes: :

I nearly flopped it. I was wanting to get a better line on the hill, so I hit reverse, cut the front to the right a bit, gassed it, and let out on the clutch, only to find out that I was in FOURTH GEAR!!! Talk about a pucker moment.


Well, that's all I have really. A few other people were taking pics, so maybe after I talk to them, I can post more.

Oh, and THANK YOU PIT BULL for your tires donation, and to everyone else that donated items to the raffle. Without it we would have been BBQ-less.

[Lady Di]

Great pictures, Josh. It was cool meeting you.
I love the last story on your rig, that's

[Lady Di]

And finally, pictures of the party at the LBC after the BBQ.

1. Me and Glen are wearing our MCR6 Trail Moderator shirts
2. Glen, Bubba and UncJ's feet
3. DTB was really into those toasted marshmellows
4. The lightweight
5. DTB, I forget the guys name behind him but he sounded EXACTLY like Ron White, I was cracking up, and that would be Bubba in the background getting wild and crazy
6.  Me and Gittinit
7. And finally, the LBC shuttle taking UncJ to pawn off on Glen   

[DTB]

What a great trip! It was sweet to finally meet a bunch of Marlin peeps

The Bubbas


A Kick ass Land Cruiser...these older guys (one guy was like 75 or 80) led the extreme group and never got stuck once and we never heard a peep from them most of the day


Messing around on the RTI






A bunch of Mammoth wanna-bes!  


I almost flopped my rig here on the first trail I went down saturday ( a 5 rating) The little tree near the back of the flat bed is all thats holding us up here.



Marks rig



Gittinits rig

[79coyotefrg]

thats Daryl, wanabecrusin  on TTORA    not the older gentleman,  not sure who he was,  Daryl's  the big  40-50ish  dude

he won the 2 inch tow strap,  which btw  probably  couldnt pull his rig  anywhere if it didnt WANT to go

[Lady Di]

Sweet pictures, DTB (or should I say DTG? I know she was handling the camera) . It was SO COOL meeting you guys!!!

[Fongs]

dreaming to come someone over there

you had a lot of fun

Fongs we have a bed for you in Motel Lanthier any time you are ready to make the trip. That would be so cool but I'm sure you would have better fun points North of us.

5. DTB, I forget the guys name behind him but he sounded EXACTLY like Ron White, I was cracking up, and that would be Bubba in the background getting wild and crazy

"That Guy" is not cool in my book. He crashed our camp at about 1:30 Sunday morning, drank 5 beers (throwing the cans on the ground) and left 45 minutes to an hour later. He kept wanting us to fire up our grill to cook his steaks. Oh, and we saw him hauling to the bathroom before he stopped by, then he tells us the toilet is so backed up that if you sat on it you'd be high centered. He claims he didn't do it, but I was leaving the bathroom when he was coming in and the toilets were fine.
