Cruisin' the Carolinas - Logan's Run 2015

[roadstr6]

I'm so proud to be a part of this club! Kudos to everyone who did their part to make this such a great event. What a fitting tribute to a fellow 'Cruiserhead who left us too soon. Great turn-out...beautiful weather...no major injuries (other than some bruised and battered trucks)...great food and fellowship...and 'wheeling Toyotas...it just doesn't get any better than this! Nathan and I really enjoyed being there and seeing everyone. We can't wait until next year!

 

[BMThiker]

Wow! what a great weekend! Epic weather, great wheeling (& wrenching) and good times around the campfire. Quite a few familiar faces that I haven't seen in a while, but lots of new folks too. It was a pleasure to meet y'all. Class act all around ONSC.

Now for the pics!!!

Shameless selfie with the Benomobile

Finding the line

@mwalls54 found the line pretty quickly

dbenke was the first to use this trick over the weekend

The sterling silver ring my wife made for my birthday. It's the FJC bezel.

lined up for the bunny trail ride

This is as wide as my 12mm wide angle would go, still couldn't get everyone in the shot.

@alk747triodad & Lydia, it was great to meet y'all.

@beno gave away some rare swag

Stopped by Table Rock on the way home

Oh and I uploaded my GPS tracks from each day if anyone is curious and can open a KMZ file.

Major props to Onur for bringing that Toyota Jerry Can to the raffle.

 

[dbenke]

Big thanks go out to all who helped get my truck back on the road, especially Darrin for bringing the axle, Matt for bringing the trailer and hauling me back, Steve for helping disassemble, and Erik and Stacy for giving up a day of wheeling for me.
All you guys are great, Love coming to your events.
I'll see you in December (with rotel and Shrimp and grits)...Can't wait

Major props to Onur for bringing that Toyota Jerry Can to the raffle.

As others have said, this is a great event ... I cannot believe that it is the first one I have made, but hunting trips and/or family trips have kept me from it ...

Thanks to everyone that put this great event together. Had a blast being surrounded by so many great cruisers and even better people. Enjoyed meeting so many new faces. Had a great time on the trails, only wish I was able to go out more, but this trip was for my boys just as much as it was for me. So Saturday I had to stay in so they could have fun with all the other kids. Oh well that's the life of a parent. Hope to see everyone soon and cant wait to head back to the trails.

Here are the pictures of all of our raffle winners. Hats off to all the great sponsors that made this possible.

I want to thank the onsc group for putting on a great event. The weather was great. It was good seeing people I know and meeting new people. I'm still trying to recover. Thanks go out to bmthiker for carrying the tools and straps and bow tie. Lol. And thanks to 35inchoverdrive from forge specialities for helping me on the trail. And Onur for the moral support. I hope to make it next year

I would never miss a chance to crawl under a broken 40 supported by three ratchet straps, two bottle jacks and a hilift.

Matt didn't get to make much of a day of it Saturday after popping a pinion on 1st ledge. Sorry dude. I was, however, totally impressed with Rick raising the hood on his FJC, out came the air hose, snapped on the impact, and zzzznnnnn, zzzznnnnn.

No reason to be sorry. Not the first time it's happened and I hate to say probably won't be the last. I always carry a spare 3rd on the trailer for just that reason.
I have normally used co2 on the trail but using ricks made up my mind to go ahead and install the dual arb and air tanks. Having a renewable air source was great. Co2 tanks run out and have to be refilled professionally.

Sorry I could not stay long. But the better half can not walk around right now and someone needs to feed all the stinkin animals.

I saw you pull in Saturday afternoon and I started walking that way but by the time I got there you had already gone.

I was up there all day. Spent 90% over on Dickey Bell doing a workday. Thought I seen you there. Sorry I missed you.

Shirley you can't be serious . . .

 

[alk747triodad]

Thank you everyone for such a great Logan's Run.


It was so great meeting all the new members and guests. Now you have become part of our family, just like the old members. Lydia and I were just amazed at the number of trucks and cruiser heads that attended. To see group camp filled to capacity and all the classic cruisers was just wonderful. I don't know how ONSC can top 2015 LR, but with this club and the leadership we have in place, I'm sure 2016 will be bigger and better. Thanks especially go out to Sarah and John Vee for all the hard work they put into this event and providing such a great meal. And the rest of the ONSC board that worked for months behind the scene to make this years event so special to all of us. Also, a big thanks goes out to our wonderful sponsors that made this years raffle one of the best we have had...so far.
I can't thank everyone but....

Onur (beno) A huge thank you for not only sponsoring and donating such wonderful prizes but also attending our event. We as a group were lucky to have you for Logan's Run.

Jonathan (lumbee1) Thank-you! The LR t-shirts were fantastic..I even liked the green color! Eric R.

Greg (southerncruiser62) Just a big thank you for attending both weekends of Logan's Run. Next time let us know when it starts so we can spend more time with Eleanor.

And....for starting Olde North State Cruisers.

The Yeti (lt1fire) Thanks for adding Logan's name to this event! I will always be grateful to you for that and I hope LR 2015 will not be your last.

Thanks everyone, the pictures posted are fantastic. And Rick ( BMThiker), I have always been impressed with your ability to have such great pics and the way you post them. You are the master sir. I wish I could have spent more time with you to hear a few Logan stories, so please come back next year. As everyone knows, I'm computer challenged. It has taken me until now to (try) and upload my pics and I hope this link below works. If not, give me a couple more days.

I missed a few important ones.

 

[JohnVee]

James and Eric/Stacey have a romance brewing among the young ones. I can't count how many times I heard Victoria says Boston's name.

Well they are really good kids. I just don't wanna talk about it. lol

 

[blue98stang]

Um, ah, wow. All I saw was holding hands...looks like we will need to keep a closer eye on her around boys. Granted, both these boys are great and all, but... Um, not ready for this yet.... LOL
