oldest TLCA event
So tell me, what exactly is the oldest TLCA event out there????
I keep thinkin that the Gambol is the oldest running event. But I am not positive. Anyone have any input on this? __________________ I am kinda gay.......

Not us. This will only be the 9th annual Cruise Moab. If the Thanksgiving Day Run in California was still going, that would be the oldest, but I guess it is kaput. When did GGG start?

It's as old as TLCA itself!
How long has it been a "TLCA Sanctioned Event?" Was it a local deal to start with? __________________ Matt Farr, TLCA #4189 · WØRDY Treasurer, Rising Sun 4WD Club of Colorado 1981 FJ-40 "The Hulk" + 1996 FZJ-80 |

GGG is the oldest TLCA event. However, there was one year in there that it was skipped. Somewhere around 2001 it was skipped. And I'm not sure how long it has been a TLCA deal. I think Mud in Yer Eye is fairly old too. Rubithon I think is second at 16 or 17. I think then it is GSMTR and then CM. I could wrong about GSMTR and CM. This is a good question. Maybe Tony is doing research on it?

MTA has been around since 1975. Mud-N-Yer-Eye Frolic is having it's 30th this year. http://www.mta4x4.com/Registration06.pdf
I just talked to Dave Gross and he remembers Frolic being grandfathered in under new rules created around 1994. He is our oldest member since 1984. (and they used to call him baby dave LOL) Mta was involved in about 5 of the original TLCA Thanksgiving Runs. I just celebrated my 13th annual Rubicon Thanksgiving run with MTA this year. http://www.mta4x4.com/html/rubicon_feb06.html Scott __________________ If you would like to help the effort of the Friends of the Rubicon, send money to the Rubicon Trail Foundation and join the FOTR email list Land Cruiser Billet Fairleads |

And there was at least one year where Mud In Yer Eye wasn't a TLCA event but still happened. It is sort of cool to think that some of these events are older than some of our members. I don't think it really matters which is the oldest. They have all secured places in TLCAs history. __________________ Eric V.

I am pretty sure that the Gambol has not been skipped since 2000...
And has only missed one year. But I will look into it. __________________ I am kinda gay....... My Myspace http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...endid=75712409 "Mary Poppins: In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and - SNAP - the job's a game." |

Hey, you're screwing up my article!!!
You will all be surprised and while Gambol and Frolic have been around for long time, they are not TLCA oldest.... unless you grandfather them or something like that. The story about the T-day run (which I have just completed) was and is probably the most interesting story I have uncovered in my history article effort. Just amazes me. Mace... contact me off line if you need details, then form your own opinion about what constitutes the oldest event. in an effort to keep Trails content off the internet, lets postpone this discussion till May/June issue is out and then you all can beat me up for sharing my analysis on the oldest TLCA event. __________________ Tony Twiddy #5049 |

Yes, I know exactly when it became a sanctioned event. I know exactly when Frolic became a sanctioned event and I know exactly when Sanctioned events came to be, and the first officially sanctioned event, which will also surprise you.
at least I hope folks find it surprising... and not boring. __________________ Tony Twiddy #5049 |

I've been a MTA member since 84 and attended Mud N Yer Eye since 1980 and I can't recall TLCA not ever being part of Mud N Yer Eye.
Thanksgiving runs, I attended a run in Lone Pine, CA in I beleive 85. Do any of yor reacall a Thanksgiving run in Hollister in 84? Rained for 5 days straight. So by now you may have figured that I've been around for a while. My TLCA # 1140, a member of the MTA, CAL and of course TLCA since 84. |
