Well some personal stuff came up today and it looks like I am out for this trip.

Dreamin · 10-01-09, 09:22 PM

In other words, the wifey won't let me play two weekends in a row, and I chose the 10' waterfall.

LOL

More like the weather forecast called for a slight chance of rain. I guess it is rain/snow up in Tahoe and if it rained much this weekend then I'm praying they lift fire restrictions.

Dion M · 10-05-09, 12:23 PM

friday to sunday calls for sunny skies. 29'-69'

Dion M · 10-05-09, 12:25 PM

Tim, hows the grape crush going. You going to make it.

TRT2 · 10-05-09, 12:33 PM

I thought you folks were going this last weekend ? Oops...

cannot make next weekend either, traveling to the Hammers for our yearly week.

and thus, cannot help should you encounter issues, but Cindy will be home if you need a place to drop busted trucks or regroup.

expect more weather... the window of opportunity is closing fast.

wapitidon · 10-05-09, 03:52 PM

So how was Vegas? And Happy birthday Cheryl.

TRT2 · 10-05-09, 04:26 PM

it was better than great, but just short of excellent.

Booze and food is no longer cheap...

We ate at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill... expensive but way good. The Blue Man group was a most excellent show. We rode the roller coaster which goes thru the casino, and went to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Did all the shows on the strip, etc.

Flights were good and easy... came back with some money.

but lets not hijack this thread... its all about Fordyce. (thanks for asking Don...)

Dreamin · 10-06-09, 11:21 AM

Yes Tony,
The Blue Man Group show is a most excellent show, have seen it myself, and to this day still listen to the CD.

BACK TO FOREDYCE!!
remember my main motto.

NO GO WHEN SNOW !!!

Tan69 · 10-06-09, 11:56 AM

Sorry, wish I could make it, I sure need to get away. have some personal items and a big harvest this year on top of a total remodel of the winery.
Tim

wapitidon · 10-07-09, 10:59 AM

Sorry you and Eric won't make it Tim. Looks like it will be a beautiful weekend in the mountains.

Wonder if anyone or two will be packing chainsaws?

Dion M · 10-07-09, 11:18 AM

I plan on bring one. Are the fire restriction lifted. Anybody have a camp fire permit.

TRT2 · 10-07-09, 12:24 PM

Fire restrictions for El Dorado lift tonight at mid night... but good idea to confirm.

Dreamin · 10-07-09, 04:49 PM

Tony,
Go look out your back door and tell me if there is any snow on that thar hill over yonder. And yes I mean the one with the trail on it.

THANKS

peesalot · 10-07-09, 04:49 PM

I've been calling daily on the fire resictions and the gal said call back Thurs. am so I would think Tony is correct.

BudKing · 10-07-09, 07:15 PM

Wish I was heading up
Have a good time

55guy · 10-07-09, 07:36 PM

Can"t make It !! gotta get ready for S&T (gotta work on the house ) & make $ $ Fordyce is the best trail for wheeling Yhe Best we been awnnnnnnnnnnn !! Thanks John for the heads up !!

wapitidon · 10-07-09, 09:33 PM

Michael, maybe you should take two bags...it'll be cold in the mornings

Dreamin · 10-08-09, 11:57 AM

Don,
I always take two bags, no matter what.

And do not get me wrong here, I am in no way complaining, I am absolutely thrilled to state the following.

Due to current work load here at the shop I can not be away from the shop on Fri, therefore will not be able to meet up for this trail, once again.

I think that the trail does not want me on it. Guess it is one more year of looking at the pictures, again.

Combat Chuck · 10-09-09, 11:29 PM

Sorry to say that I can't come along, working Sat, and a mid-term on Monday I have to actually make an effort to study for (It sucks now that I actually try and take my education seriously).

have a good run, the Fordyce Lake area is an amazing stretch of land.
Godspeed

Dion M · 10-13-09, 02:26 PM

Glad to get that last run in before this rain. To bad we didn't have more members show up.
Good time in all thought.

Dreamin · 10-13-09, 04:24 PM

yeah sure Dion,
rub it in why don't you. Do you want some salt to?

peesalot · 10-13-09, 06:27 PM

Very nice weather, and that trail is tuff. Roger Taylor is a mad man, he throttles that mini up , up , and away. He also broke both rear axles. Larry toasted an axle housing and me and Dion got thru o.k.. Caught 1 small fish but had fun fishing with Emerald who really idolizes Larry. Trail was almost all ours, and the water flow was at 8 cfs, that was a sight to see.

fj40-james · 10-13-09, 09:11 PM

Winch hills? what winch hills? More skinny pedal!!! Go Roger!

2ndGenToyotaFan · 10-13-09, 09:23 PM

Both rear axles? Not at once right?

wapitidon · 10-14-09, 09:30 AM

Broke ds 5 mins out of camp getting out of committee creek crossing. PS went an hour later as we topped the ridge and headed down hill in front wd. That little black truck was the sleeper of the trail I thought.

Thank you Roger for letting me tag along.

fj40-james · 10-19-09, 07:51 AM

Ah you too are now tempted by the dark side.

wapitidon · 10-19-09, 10:00 AM

certainly the dark side of extra low gearing and extra wheelbase. But I still think a 40 is much more fun to drive

Tan69 · 10-20-09, 10:04 AM

I Second that Don-
Tim

peesalot · 10-22-09, 04:51 PM
