Great time and great show!
I want to thank the Coastal Cruisers for an excellent show, once again, and also for opening the show up to all other 4x4 vehicles. Rob said 114 papers were issued but I'm sure there were more vehicles there.
I've never seen so many Cruisers and there must have been 30 or more other vehicles. Most everyone stayed all day too.
I think there is a future in this format.
Excellent job, Rob and Jeremy!

Yes, it was an excellent day and the organization was perfect. A big thank you to Rob S and Jeremy A, as well as Kim and Brenda for their work with the 4WDABC booth.
p.s. considering all the loot that Greg Bowie scored in the raffle, he'd better renew his CC membership
See Steve's pic. "Jeez. I spent $40. on tickets and all I won was this cheesy utility light!
Notice his 3rd finger!
See Craig's pic. What is he hiding in that huge bag? His lunch maybe?

Good organizing folks. There were LOTS of Cruisers there and people stayed. Good to see people I have not seen for a while, and meet some new folk. Yes...my usual luck did not surface at this raffle, and I walked the gauntlet a few times times.

Great park and a good time. Thanks to all the organizers.
even a right hand drive Nissan (which I didn't care for)all in all a lot of cool trucks!
...haven't found your inner NiZen yet, eh?
Thanks for hosting a great show Coastal Cruisers and 4wdabc 
It was good to talk to those of you in the club I know and to see so many new trucks that I haven't seen around or at previous shows.

Yup saw him come in!
Nice!
He was there. I was directing parking when he arrived. Thought he was the guy on Gladwin with a 75, 45, 40 etc etc. When he said Maple Ridge, I remembered the thread you posted about him and the camper. I saw him chatting with the guys and checking out the rigs.

Great day as usual. Thanks to everyone who organized and helped out.
We even had the Master Chief show up, it's that good of a show!
One of my favourite pictures is of Daryl's sense of humour and his clever use of mirrors....
Steve's 55 is looking good, must be all the parts I gave him

The Cruiser Days trail run after the show was up to the north end of Chehalis Lake. Several trucks in attendance with 2 non members, George and his son Drew in their Chevy Blazer from Powell River, and Roy in his '72 Jimmy.
We left the Sasquatch slightly before my inane 6 pm departure schedule, and after George had his failed turbo bypassed, we headed on up the Harrison FSR while I gave our Powell River tourists a colourful description of the area over the CB. At least that's how I remember it.
Upon reaching the entrance to Chehalis, I gave my troupe the option of the exciting way or the easy way in. Much to my pleasure, George in his blazer, Roy in his Jimmy, and Mr. Voo in his Prado plunged in the exciting way.
Both the full size rigs promptly dented their rear quarters on some hidden stump, while John plugged up his radiator in the deep water.
After they exited, I went back to see where the rest of the group was and they had disapeared. Hearing no more noises in the "exciting way" I figured they must have missed where I turned in and had headed on over the bridge and down towards the end of the road at the slide.
I was pleasantly surprised to find the road into the old camp sites now accessible and that is indeed where they had gone.
But seeing as how half our group was now on either side of the river, we crossed and all grouped up on the north side and made camp for the evening.
Graham and Pete, who had left the Sasquatch earlier, finally showed up after we were wondering where they had gone, but that's another story
Most of the crew cleared away pretty quickly the next day, muttering something about Grahams coffee I think, which I had luckily missed as I slept in. I planned on making the most of the day, it was my birthday after all, and play with my kids. George C with his funny dogs Huck and Ozzie stayed the day with us, as well as the travel worn Gary T. It was a beautiful day and I am now sporting a serious sun burn.

I had a fantastic time and wanted to say thanks to the organizers. Cool also to see other types of 4x4's.
Nice to meet up again with every one.
Cheers,
