The event was excellent as usual. Thanks to the Gotham City guys for putting in all the work to make it happen every year. I know it ain't easy. And thanks to everyone who helped me get my truck back together and off the trail after shearing my knuckle studs Thursday. It's a pretty damn good bunch of guys who show up for this event every year. Gary S
Here is a picture of Nick after he tried milkshake on Sat. We wheeled some hard blues and blacks also on Sat. He ended up with a bent front drive shaft, starter and clutch. I bent the rain gutter right above the passenger door on my hard top. My son Brandon, who had never wheeled before made it through the blacks with no damge. He got it out of his system on Fri. when he bent the front bumper and drivers rocker.
As we have become acustom too. The event was outstanding! No doubt because of the fine staff of Gotham. Jeff
Unpacked, showered and fed. Wife was blind to the damage until Josh said,
"Hey mom, look what dad did to the door." Thanks Josh, you're awesome.
Great time. Thanks to all who attended and helped out to make it another
great CMCC. Special thanks to Lance from Iron Pig and Eli from Camel4x4 for
your generosity, enthusiasm, and camaraderie. For those of you that missed
it, Lance showed up with an FZJ-40. A shortened FZJ80 frame and drivetrain
with a modified 40 Series body. It is truly a work of art and a testament to
his imagination, ability, and craftsmanship. Eli showed up in a 2 day old FJ
Cruiser, bone stock with street tires. By the end of the event he came up to
me and said, "Enough of this green trail crap. I'm wheeling with you guys
next time." I like that attitude and look forward to it.
Super duper special thanks to Mike Stevens for really stepping up and
helping out beyond what anyone could have expected. I love you man.
I hope to get 1 good picture of my truck out of this one.
Thanks to GCLC for another great CMCC! Some pictures from Crawler Ridge. First is Burl coming up then Chris coming as close to flopping his truck as possible without actually doing it.
Thanks John for posting the pics. I'm still amazed I did not go over.

Nice job GCLC. Great time. Having the opportunity to drive Al Podell to the event was worth the price of admission alone.
