UC GSMTR 08 Photos and Stories
Hey folks! Just back from GSMTR and wanted to get up some pictures and stuff. It was a great time (for the few days we were there). The Cabin was AWESOME! Many thanks to Marshall for again taking the lead and getting it reserved. Steve, Ali, Rick, Cat, Dan and his kids were great cabin-mates.

STLCA did another great job this year, and I can't wait for them to be able to take it easy and just relax next year. I am so proud of our club for being honored with taking over this anchor TLCA event!

Now for the pictures...





















And finally...the youngest GSMTR attendee ever!

We had a great time at our first GSMTR. Looking forward to next year's UC hosted event. The cabin was a great idea Marshall. Thanks for arranging that. We had fun on the trails, met some new folks, drank cold beverages with old friends and ate some tasty barbeque, burgers, ribs and grilled pork loin and all the fixins.

Now for some of my pics.

One of the more entertaining wheelers in our group was Sputnik40. We watched Bill take on Upper 2 after discovering his ARB locker wasn't working in the front. After a little MacGyver-ish tinkering, he got it all patched up on the trail and walked right up it.

Hahahahaa! Thanks for posting that pic. Had a great time - sorry I didn't get to take Marshall for a run on Friday, but methinks he's plenty motivated to finish his 40 now.

Took a couple of hours yesterday to get half the mud off Bad Bettie - will do the rest next weekend.

Woo hoo! No major breaks!!!

Bill, it looks like you are the new JP! That set up looks close to what I used to blow out my charcoal cannister. I give you extra points for use of zip ties and no duct tape.

You are a mad scientist!

Didn't make it up this year, David. Had a chance to deliver a boat to Chicago. Right now, we're in New York City. It's just a different type of "cruiser"
