| GSMTR Photo and Tall Tale Thread OK folks, here are some shots and stories from GSMTR this year. I can tell you I had a fantastic time! It was smaller this year than others, but that worked really well for me since I racked up in the raffle!
Here are some photos and commentary in chronological order...I didn't get there until Wed. night, so others may have more stuff before this. Dan and Steve did Slickrock on Tuesday...so hoping to see photo proof of that!
Thursday AM we hit the trails and ended up at Lower 2 to watch some 40's pick there way up. Lot's of winching going on that day on Lower 2. We did spend quite a bit of time wheelin', but since I was driving I don't have many shots.
Thursday night, it seemed, was the party. CC offered us a harmless looking potion that turned out to kick our asses...lemons, sugar, and vodka. I don't think I will ever be the same! So as you can imagine...the night lasted well into the morning. Here's Steve and CC...I think this is a good indication how most of that evening went. Oh, and as you can see...Steve's offending "bag of doritos" is present in the photo.
I'll continue with more in the next post...

| After Lower 2, I headed out with the Trail Team, Alex, and others to wheel for the afternoon. I don't have any pictures from the trip because I was so busy driving, I forgot to take any. Dan and Steve decided that sleep and food were a better option for them and headed back to the cabin. We hit 4, 5, 6, and 8 up to the top of slickrock and watched for a while. Then we headed back down the way we came up. Running out of time before the dinner and raffle, we got stuck behind a broken 40 at Fain's Ford, but ended up out and on our way.
The dinner on Friday was great...pulled pork and catfish. STLCA did a great job again with the food and the prizes. A number of us UC folks got some stuff...and the GA Cruisers did pretty well too. I took home a BFG hat, t-shirt, IH8MUD travel cup, Powertank tire patch kit, an Iron Pig bracket for a power steering pump for a Saginaw Conversion, and a FULL 20lb Powertank set up!!!! Sweet!
So after the raffle, we hung out at the fire pit since it was getting REALLY COLD. A few adult beverages and Dan tried to sell me to KOWBOY of the White Trash of the Ellwood Chapter. The price was only $1500 and I wasn't so pleased with that so I smacked Dan in the head with 3 beer cans at different times during the negotiations. Luckily, Dan know's what's best for him and I returned home to the cabin with my honor intact. Hehehehe!
What a fun bunch of folks out there! I had a blast meeting some ner folks and connecting up with a bunch of old friends.

| [quote=eventhough;2181244]I have no recollection of that pic of me and CC... I do remember having a few  s though...
Steve,
Does this mean you have no memory of the deeply philosophical issues we discussed?? What about the part where I said you are one of the most intuitive, responsible, intelligent, handsome and funny people I've ever met? Not to mention smart enough to figure out how to get rides in UC Cruisers!!! Oh, maybe it was the Doritos...........
I hope you plan to attend the UC BBQ at our house on July 14th because we are stocking up on different varieties of Doritos for you. |

| Hmmm....its all becoming clear now!!!
I told my wife about the Doritos and she said "YOU DON'T EAT DORITOS!!!"
I think Ali and I will be at the BBQ - I'll have to bring something veggie for her!
What does 'philosophical' mean??? |

| It's all becoming clear now!!! I would like to help you recall, Steve, but crossing Amnesia Creek has left only these vague and fuzzy meanderings, and I can't quite seem to bring them to conscious awareness. Something about a cap? Murders?
Hunger? A long beer stein on a necklace? Makes no sense now! |

| I've got some pics, but for now, I've gotta post the 'Cado's flex shot. I rode with Dan on 4 Wednesday, and we got a nice shot of him stuffin' the 37's on his 80. Looks possible to me.
I'll try to post the rest later... Dan, I have the high-res versions if you want them. |
