Yes, I saw him, he had a car full of family. IIRC, he was camping at Middle Creek. When i saw him he was coming back from running the trail out toward Hwy 4. I think he said they would be hanging at camp before leaving Sunday. You're right he didn't spend much time at the "official" camp.

Gosh, I hope that was a good first impression in person we made.

That was the second time I met the Watermelon.

The first first time was at Georg's breakfast on Saturday.


It was great to meet everyone. I have not had that much fun camping and 4 wheeling ever. Although this was my first non sponsored TLCA event.

My wife read this thread and saw the pictures and she wants to come next year. This means I will have to unweld the seat in my 40 so she can drive it since I will be in the 45 Extended cab.

Gunner and I caravaned back to Marin together and his transfer case held up just fine. He lives about 10 miles past me and he was cruisin' right along when I left the highway in Novato.

Good news, that could have been a nightmare.

Kudos to Mark for making a "washer" out of stiff wire.

I'll remember that fix.

Keeping the magic alive...

Ive had a busy week. Pics as I get to them.

Thanks to Georg and family for hospitality and food. Best of luck with your kitty. Thanks to Nick, Skillet and D'Animal for on-the-road moral support!

Gunner (right?) and Mark A. on the Sunday trail run.

Edit: This is an inferior photo, sorry. The other one is going to Toyota Trails.

George, before and after. He killed the obstacle later in the evening; the only rig of the weekend to make it all the way through.
