We survived the trip and are now settling in to our new home. The weather is a bit different.

Too much snow! Sorry I missed you at the meet in Jan -- good luck!

Good to hear from ya, stay warm and stay in touch!
 
Damn that looks cold! You're AZ FJ is going to need a blanket and block heater. Maybe some better snow shoes too! Post up some pix of USNY wheeling when you thaw out.
 
Friggin WOW!

Glad you made it fine, and are settling in. Holy crap that looks chilling. Be sure to share the adventures here.

And I say you keep the name...
 
Cool! Now you can join GCLC!
 
The name is definitely staying. I still think of my FJC as an Arizona FJ. I know it's wondering who turned off the heat.

The day that snow fell, I pulled out a full size van that backed into a ditch and a 4x4 Blazer that managed to skid 30 feet off the road through 2 foot deep snow. It was great to have a rig that made it look easy. Sorry, no pictures. One thing that I learned very quickly while digging under the Blazer to find an attachment point for my tow strap was that gloves are VERY important. I'm not sure what was more painful, my hands freezing or thawing. I just know I won't do that again without gloves. Live and learn!!

My wife says that there are a bunch of people at her work that wheel, so hopefully I will be able to hook up with them soon. It will be different to see how different the offroading is around here. All of my offroading experience has been in the Southwest.

If any of you find yourselves in Corning, New York, please feel free to look me up. I'm 20 miles from Watkins Glen and a couple of hours from Niagara Falls.
