You kids crack me up
I'd suggest knowing a little more before you sound off
on this club's "other" members and their wheeling skills.
Mine's bigger than yours isn't what UC is about. Our
tent has room for all including you bragging youngsters.
Go for it my friends. I'm sure ya'll know better than
us old farts as to how to do things.
Dissing your fellow club members isn't a good way to start.
I'm personally sorry that UC isn't what you want.
My offer of the $10 refund stands. No hard feelings.
Of course you can vote this rascal out at the next annual meeting.
Till then, all are welcome here.

Ok, I don't think anyone was dissin anyone here in the club.
First, the goal of this post is to get a trail ride together, one that will allow the new guy who just bought a stock rig all the way up to, and I'll use Marshal as an example, his big rig to go out for a weekend and be able to cover a decent distance and have a good time. Like I said before, we all had fun at Mt. estates last time, but I think we all would agree that went on that trip, that if we had 40 cruisers on that trip a lot of people's time would of been wasted. Just because of the breakdowns and such. Now it was fun with us cause we all know eachother and had fun tryin to help eachother out, and now we can look back at it and smile. Where as tellico, which I've never been, but understand it to be several trails, not sure how long either, but if you break down they get you off the trail and then you trailer it home or fix it. But there are a lot more cruisers to watch. Where-as our goal is a long distance trip with minor breakdowns..(is there such a thing with cruisers..lol).
Second, The last big ride I remember being on was the Mustard Ground run at Duke Power. There were a lot of cruisers there that day, and I would like to see more of that, I mean that was a fun day and it was great to have that big a crowd from UC. Now I know everyone can't make every ride. I'm a perfect example, but if we're goin to make a meeting why not make them a trail ride and bring lunches, like we did at the grounds. Or we could even do like trail ride in the morning/noon finishing at aunt sue's or esso, or where ever. That way if someone couldn't make the wheeling then they could make the dinner and here the stories of carnage from the trip. And I hope that people will go whether or not they wanna take there own rig. I mean people are always welcome to ride in my rig, some guys that is there DD and if it get's broke they aint goin to work on monday. I understand that, but jump in and ride shotgun, I'll bump your head against the ceiling a few times.
So let's just have a fun time, we have the baddest vehicle around and have the prettiest places around to take them!
Later Dudes, Chuck

man david this is the second time you have gotten all offended or atleast you seem disgruntled when the talk of more trail rides comes up......Why??? I wasn't attacking anyone, I was just expressing the feeling of myself and other members that we really don't get out much and use or cruisers as much as we would like too. I enjoy the monthly meetings around the upstate and wouldn't want them to stop, but at the same time I would like to see the club add more trail rides, is that such an outragous request to make in this club??????
Offering me my money back is not the response I expect from the VP of the club towards my desire to get out and off-road with my fellow members, to me personally it is rather insulting and why would you want to turn away members??? Is my request really that out of line?????
I am not trying to radically change or take the club by any means.......rather I just really enjoy the people I have meet through the club.......and I feel it would be great to get out more together as a club.......
rereading over my posts I don't see where I was bragging and sounding off, or more importantly dissing my fellow club members............if it came across that way I am sorry, again because I honestly value and enjoy the friends I have made through Upstate Cruisers and hope to meet more people and gain more experiences.............
All I ask is be a little more open to the idea of increasing our cruiser outtings and don't feel like I am dissing the club or that I am trying to prove "mine is bigger" because what I enjoy most about Upstate is the same as you do the friendships and the experiences shared with those friends

dang you were faster chuck..........
I've never
opposed MORE of anything. I do resent the reference to
current BOD needing a wheeler . Nuff said.
I have tried to incorporate everyone into this club and
sought only to fulfill their Cruiser needs.
I really do appreciate all input. Just don't whine about
what's not happening. Do something. That is what
I love about the new blood. You guys want more action.
ROFLMAO.....the members once complained that all
I wanted to do was wheel. Therein is the Pisgah Run
and the monthly Sonics. THE CLUB wanted that.
They voted it in.
I have been supportive to all.
The Snow Run was my idea. I do this yearly.
MG each year.
HP yearly.
Pisgah Run
BF yearly.
GSMTR for like 9 years now.
Wrenching meets
Annual meet
River Falls road
Monthly dinners
I ain't complaining, but damn Man, give some credit.
Club events should as much as possible be for all.
I beg you to find where I shot down an idea.
I always say "go for it!" If I can help let me know.
A major event would be fun. Let me know.
Post up any wheeling trips. I may attend.
THAT'S how it goes. Do it. Don't bitch about what others
ain't doing for you. I'm behind anything that gets Cruiserheads together.
Off my soap box.
I still love you guys.
Oh, yeah, and mine is bigger than your's.
We'll all get together after GSMTR and see if we can't make you kids happier.
I promise.
Look, I ain't mad, I just sound that way when I mount a defense.
hehe....old habit
Let's do ME after GSMTR .
Gundy's ready.

How this post took a right turn I have no idea. 
Truthfully I cannot comment since I haven't even paid my 10$. Well I tried but was told to do it some other time and not to worry about it. I have no experience in knowing how the club works since I have only been around for 3 months. But I have participated in everything we have done in the club and out of the club that has to do with Land cruisers except for GSMTR due to conflict with me seeing going to Charlotte to watch the Race this weekend. (I know I have my priorities all screwed up).

Well it is hard to gauge intent with text and not talking face to face; it is often easy to misunderstand.........
If you aren't opposed to changes and so forth and are behind anything that gets cruiserheads together I believe you. Of all the elected officials that I know of you are the one from what I see that is the most active in getting things going and keeping everyone informed.......I think you do a great job and I personally think you are a good guy.......
But you have to understand both times this subject has been brought up you get defensive, as if you are being personally attacked, which is the not the case. Also like I said both times you tell if I am not happy I can have my money back and go else where; instead any discussion or accomidation of the idea.................like I said just not what I expected.
And I am not out to get you david, I was thinking more along the lines of you for Prez........... and on the note of positions do we have any Event planner position?
Also this is not bitching/wining here sir.............. I do attend to a complish something here, and I think I am not alone on this when it comes to getting more trail rides together, ones that are for all cruisers and abilities
I also I have not blamed others for the lack of trail rides, I have only expressed the desire for more outings........it is not if I said "damn that david(or whoever) for not planning more wheeling......."
Well I guess we have both gotten on our "soap boxes" enough, I look forward to seeing you at the big June meet..........wanna wheel afterwards?????

Damn you guys I dont get on mud for 12 hours and you turn my post about a fun run with some mild wheeling into a bunch of bitching. I dont think anyone was attacking anyone from what I read just voicing their opinions which we are all entitled to. We all agree that UC wouldn't be half of what it is without David it might not even exist, and we all want lots of outtings and get togethers. We just need to arrange them which is what I started this whole thing for in the first place.
As for elections, what exactly are the positions David? I think most would agree that president needs to be addressed. And we should create a position for events if one doesnt exist to remedy just this situation which we are in. And did we decide on first weekend in June for this? And if so can you send an email out early to help people plan it into their schedule more maybe?

i think everybody needs to chill a bit, and not worry about elections or crap like that....
we're a club, not some elite social organization, and quite frankly, i'll be disappointed if any more 'politikin' happens.
maybe i'm missing the point of the arguement, but i do know that this whole thing doesn't bode well for anybody lookin in on the forum, trail-ride or not.
and eff elections in general, i'm an engineer not a poli-sci major....and i really don't want that crap creepin into what i think is a lot of fun; workin on my truck and hangin out with all y'all upstate guys.

NOW BACK TO THE REGULAR SCHEDULED PROGRAM
the trail ride, Bruels ford to Cashiers, I say camp on a friday night in that big open field area then an all day assualt towards cashiers on Saturday.............. It really would be a kick ass ride in the fall nice easy cruising winding thru the mountains with the leaves changing and a cool breeze in the face, man I am ready for the fall and football.........summer in Augusta stinks.......
I think you are right rudi with the appeal of the north georgia mountains in the fall we might be able to draw a crowd with the promise of a easy slow paced ride and a large wide open place to camp and especially if we can convince marshall to BBQ............... hell even if no else comes I will be there.............
Later fellas and no more politics.....................

I'm up for
just about anything. Rudi's idea is a good one. A club mixer is always fun.
If I don't chime in with a suggestion it is because I don't wish to appear
as a dictator. That's why try to let members hash it out and then support
THEIR decision.
Just don't compare UC to others clubs unfavorably or diss a member and you'll
be on my sunny side. I'm easy.
I LOVE THIS CLUB for all the friendship it has generated.
As to the Fall fun. Sept would be ideal for me. Oct is the Pumpkin
Festival AND my beach trip. That's just me however.
Sept is also the opening of MG and HP. The 15th I believe.
A MG run can get pretty narly without the mild or scratch
wary in tow.
HP is a run for ALL to do without fear. Pic Nic at Jump Off Rock.
Several parks are near for the camping. Cherry Hill might be open if the
bears have moved on. (closed for them last year)
Table Rock and Jocassee too. Excellent facilities.
All have showers etc to make it doable for all.
MG for the hardy crowd and HP for the scenic ride and pic nic.
Both could be done in a weekend. Even BF, ME , HP and MG
would be options from a central camp site. People could
choose their "poison" so to speak. Make it a smorgasboard (sp).
Burrel's Ford is fun as well. It's a little rough in spots for the
"avoid dings and scratch" crowd. Cherry Hill is near and if open
would give us facilities.
HH is closed.
ME can't support large crowd and I don't think the owner would be pleased.
I know the dude and I seriously doubt we'd get his blessing.
Again, I'll "go with the flow" and support what the Club decides.
I'm up for whatever!

I never called you the godfather. If your anyone from the movie its Luca Brotsy the big dumb muscle who gets throw in the river.
As for the run I like the idea of camping in the big field right at the base of the trail. I think we will have to say Oct 8th (our open week) to avoid all clemson games. The oct 1 and oct 15 are also options both away games. MG and Hp will need careful planning this year we have a big time home schedule which can't be missed.
