Well just got the e-mail from Jimmy today so I figured I'd post it here for all to see.

Who is planning to go?

I'll be up for Sat. only planning on meeting in the upper parking lot around 10:00, unless Jimmy posts diferent time to meet.

All are welcome no matter what you drive or how modified it is.

Looking forward to getting out. I've been installing an Astro PS setup and should be ready for a test drive this week. I just need to add a a cooler since I managed to boil over the pump on the first try. I hope that everyone can make it. It appears from other threads that this will be a large Cruiser turnout from surrounding states and it should be a lot of fun. I'm up for Saturday and Sunday as long as the truck holds up.

I'll bring the tow rope

I'm gonna try to come down for Saturday only... but I'll be needing someone to ride with. The diesel Beetle only has 4 inches of ground clearance. Luke

peebles24 · 11-29-05, 05:44 AM

Clint that has to be one of my top 5 favorite movies. Luke I believe the wifey will be staying at home on this one, she said it's to cold to camp

Anyway I may have a front seat open for someone to ride along.

LukeZero · 11-30-05, 03:44 PM

Thanks for the offer- but at this point I'm not venturing more than 10 feet away from the bathroom. I think its food poisoning. I might try to make it down, but at this point, I'm trying to live through the rest of the day. Luke

SpaceGhost · 11-30-05, 04:33 PM

Any Seats available?

AJ's got one and he needs two or three more if possible.

Thnaks!

peebles24 · 11-30-05, 06:19 PM

Mike,

I have Ben riding up with me that leaves two more.

AJ,

When's the party and what besides beer do I need to bring, is there going to be a cook out?

Jim,

Not sure if I ever heard, hows your tranny? Did you get it back together and in?

booty · 11-30-05, 08:16 PM

Waiting to see if John from down here is riding along so the pass seat may be taken, will know more Thurs.

Seems I jumped the gun...empty wallet syndrome struck again.

And the 60 is showing definite signs of a failed head gasket.

Got parts to fix the 60 but EWS is a little tougher to deal with right now. Hopefully I'll make one of the trail rides here soon.

Take lots of pictures!

Ron F. called me last night to see if he could ride shotgun, but I still have room on the jumpseats for anyone with enough sack!

Clint

Polak · 12-01-05, 12:02 PM

Right on guys! Thanks for the response.

Got called in for snow duty this morning and it's shaping up to look like I'll have to come back in Saturday night at midnight. !!!SUCK!!!

So, I do not at this time plan to miss the ride. The only thing that would cause that would be the weather arriving sooner than forcasted.

As far as the get together Saturday night goes, I plan to be there until about 8:00p then head home. But I will be there long enough to make sure all is right. FYI response didn't constitute a keg purchase so BYOB and food if you wanna eat. (I think all John has is a couple cans-o-beans and no can opener

)

Most of you met John at Sommers Carrol the last club event, he'll be your host for the remainder of the evening.

Peace, Love, & Chicken Grease!!!!!

Cruiser Jimmy · 12-01-05, 06:33 PM

Okay, here's the later info on the event. I don't have the best information to work with so bear with me.

I know of at least 6 rigs going to the event.
And there are at least five people that are coming without a rig that will need a ride.

I plan to riding with Beno (if permitted) from MUD as my tranny is still in pieces. I think we'll have enough people from MUD to accommodate rides if needed.

I plan to be the camera bitch for the event.

See you guys there.

Muster will be at 10am at the upper parking level. Usual location.

L8ER,
Jimmy

See you all tomorrow.

Jimmy, Clint, AJ, Chad, Ron and the rest of the HC gang--

Thanks so much for having us outta towners in for your trail ride. Tim and I had a blast and we enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Jimmy--good luck with the transmission work. Can't wait to see it back in and your truck on the road again...can't have you driving that Dodge everywhere...and thanks for letting us crash Friday night.

By the way, the ride home to Akron was a misery!!! I-70 was shut down both east and west between Dayton and Columbus--jack knifed rigs, beat upcars...used the CB and followed a truck for the bypass...CB kicks ass..

See you guys definitely next TFT's...hopefully sooner.

Cheers and thanks again!!
