April Trip: Spring Tide Ride, OBX

[southerncruiser62]

well to be honest, in the planning of this event I think that might have been the only thing they might have left out, they sure as heck covered all the bases. In all honesty though the man at CarQuest told us to let him know next year when we are coming and he will stock a few spare parts for us. Next year I am hoping is the 55's first trip to the OBX.

Fantastic job Brian and Heather (and Stacey, Jason, ....) I feel pampered. Now if I only could have taken today off to recoup.

He might need to stock a few more then

Brian next year you should plan on what you are going to break so we can already have the extra part

Well if my trend continues then I shouldn't break anything next year. I broke two things last year, one thing this year, no things next year!

Heather and Brian, I can't thank you enough for all you did to make this weekend a memorable experience! You did a phenomenal job planning, organizing, and improvising. We had a fantastic group, perfect weather, and two folks who poured everything into making this a great event for all of us.

We all owe you.

And Nalu rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I posted a message in the BOD section and wanted to follow up here also.

I've contacted the editor for Toyota Trails (Todd Kaderabek, also a NC resident and club member) about an article submission and he is happy to consider it for this event. I have a deadline of May 10th and would like to encourage anyone who would like to share their perspective of the event to send me an email, PM or post up in this thread.

Also, those pictures that are up for consideration also, please send me the full size version to my email so that I can share them with the editor also. I want to give us every opportunity to get this event, our club and the access issues a venue for increased exposure...

Looks like you guys had a great time! Sorry we missed you...we were out on OBX and were hoping to catch-up with you at Ocracoke or Hatteras, but decided to stay put at Cape Lookout the whole time. Here's some pics from our trip: CAPE LOOKOUT

BY THE WAY, was that PHROGG4EVR in the Marine helicopter on Friday morning flying along the coast line??? The boys were waiving at him so I was hoping he got their pic from the air...

LakeNorman Sorry we missed ya, great photos and believe it or not I am surprised we didn't see you, it seems we came across almost every cruiser in the banks.

Yeah one of the things I forgot to do when we spoke before the trip was get your phone number to get ahold of you when we were out there. Sorry about that. As for the Helicopter... I have no idea.

I hate we missed you guys by a week, looks like you had great weather and a great time...

I hated I missed the April trip - but was able to get out there for a quick trip this weekend.

Weather was awesome! We stayed near Frisco & had a great time - I'll see if I can't get up a shot of us on the beach. Here's a cell pic of the wife @ Hatteras

Brian, thanks for the link in an earlier post for the Beach Closures/Google Earth - pretty sweet!

Yep, that was me, didn't have the camrea, we were on our way to do some training with the Coast Guard at Ft. Macon and were running uber-late. Didn't have time to stop

Thanks for everyone's contributions to my submission to Toyota Trails. I sent off the email with the document a few minutes ago. I hope it didn't come out too cheesy, maybe just a little.

Once I hear back from Todd, I'll share his feedback with hopes of seeing it in the next Toyota Trails publication. Again, thanks for all the feedback, it really helped a great deal...
