EC4RJ June 5-7 2009 at Rausch Creek
The East Coast 4 Runner Jamboree will be held at Rausch Creek the weekend of June 5-7 this year. Camping will be on site at Rausch Creek. Plan to arrive on Thursday the 4th and wheel on the 5th and 6th and head home on Sunday the 7th.
For those who have never been to this event, it is a very informal event not limited to 4 Runners.
I will be there, anyone else planning on coming?

I spoke with Allen yesterday and he told me more than one person has left a message for Lynn to let her know we will be arriving on Thursday afternoon. I am expecting an open gate.

Just make sure you don't run out of gear oil and you will be fine. Rear brakes are overrated anyway...

Who wants to caravan from the Silver Spring area up the 270 / 15 route on Thursday to Rausch? I am aiming to leave between 12 and 1pm being the latest. I may be able to leave earlier but I never seem to get the truck all packed before Noon.

Johns plan sounds like my plan. Looks like we may be packing/hitting rain enroute. Any thoughts where/when to meet up?

Damn, I wish I could make this run. With all you old codgers up there, it's bound to be a "hoot"... as you say.
Have fun and take pics.

No wheeling pictures as it rained all day Friday and we took it easy on Saturday. The best shot I got all weekend was of this poor guy that had a catastrophic axle failure in the parking lot. The owner was happy it did not happen on the ride home.
Never seen anything like this before. Clean break at the axle tube and tore the caliper right off also.

You didn't get a pic of the H2 that never left the trailer all weekend?

No pics, but suspect the H2 was being hauled to a mall nearby!
Anyone encounter the olive drab suburban on/stuck in the trails?

So in the picture with the hummer, is that the "campground" at Rausch? Doesn't look like there's much shade. Maybe I'll stay at Echo for coal miner's...

No, that's the parking lot. The "camp ground" is in the trees you see in the background.

Echo Valley is the home base for the CMCC and is where most will camp. Those who have issues with crazy judy will stay at camp-a-while or at Rausch. Only one section of the Rausch camping area is shaded and there is no running water there.

Okay Dan, what happened, and how? Pictures please.
Also the wheels and tires on the 4Runner look familiar.

Ok, when putting on the wheel spacers nobody used locktite so the lugs backed off and the wheel came off on the trail. But we were lucky enough to get three out of six lugs back on without using the spacer that got destroyed. And thanks again to Matt, Bob, John, Tom, Alan.
