Jan. 9-11 camping/wheeling trip

[ocdbeetle]

Great Trip! The little rain we got Sunday morning before sun up wasnt enough to change the way we were doing anything....Thanks for making it a trip to remember for me and Chandler! DavidB, Doc, and Scott (greenseaman) are all people you hope are in a club when you join...
Chandler and I got to do our first camping together as well as our first four wheeling in the 40 (or anything else for that matter)...

The drive there and back was nice...Although I'm waiting to see Docs pics, here are some from our camera...

As well as the rockets there were plenty of planes to enjoy...

David at his finest....He stayed pretty busy

I did say he was staying busy right?

Always have to put my toy in the picture mix...

Chandler drove us to the facilities when we needed to go...

This is when it got fun....Doc arrived with the David/Doc special....Scott and I followed for a little fun...

Hopefully Doc can fill in this part with some much better pics...

It was a real pleasure to see you break in off road behind David and I got some good shots of you coming over the drop. Great people great time's that is what LCLC is all about. Hurra!!!

 

[greenseaman]

Glad you guys enjooyed it. Gives you a little look at the other side of my life. If it wasn't fun, I wouldn't
still be doing it after 18 years.
It's even better when we can bring the groups together.
Jim, I hope we didn't scare you too bad sliding down hill.
I was suprised, the 62 didn't slide at all.

I've been saving up a little nerve for a couple years....spent all I saved in one fall.....
But I promise you If the three of you hadnt gone first I'd still be wondering what it was like.....

More Pic's of a good time

OCD great pic's mine are not as good. But here goes

As you could tell it was late when I managed to get the Doc/David Special down to the Airbase. As it had several seats David OCD and Scott were sort of waiting for it to be the scout hauler. So just a few shots before the sun went down then it got dark just as we started wheeling. There was a great place to take pic's down by the river but we just made a loop and went to another part of the trails for some light wheeling where OCD got his rig in the dirt for the first time. Priceless.

Scott and his nice ride.

Doc/David Special in the background.

Lot's of room for the campers and good place to have some rocket lauching fun.


David and the Scout hauler!

Darkness falls, so did the trail.

Here is Scott at the second (the biggest step in the trail that we covered) I am 6 feet tall and the bottom of his bumper is about 8 feet above my head so I estimate 12 to 15 feet of incline rutted and about 55 to 60 degree angle on inclination.



Scott's rig just eased on down



Look's like the scout riding with Greenseaman is having a great time. That is what this is all about.

And then the beauty white 40 OCD will he do it.



Hey I did mention that this is his and after the restore that rig's first time off road any didn't I?

 

[IndianDoc]

Cherry Gone

If you look close you can see this pristine rebuild getting dirty, the bumpers on both ends dug in but the little rig just pulled it's newby driver and son right on thru. Only thing I missed due to slow fingers the grins on both the driver's and his son's faces. Priceless


And one more little rill and then back to camp for chow, and boy the scouts could cook. Thanks again David for inviting us to come out and play. Will always remember the looks on the scouts faces as we went over the steps.





Sorry no pic's of the food or chiefs' too busy stuffing it into my face to take pic's. Great time wish I could have stayed the night but life often get's in the way of fun. All for now Doc

Thanks for the pics Doc....Chandler and I will remember that experience forever and having pictures of it is priceless.....

I thought that front bumper might come in good for pushing snow or clearing land..........

 

[IndianDoc]

Great time

[ocdbeetle]

I seem to have left the needle nose pliers and roll of black duck tape with the rocket supplies.....Tell the scouts they'll have to name a rocket after the club....lol

 

[dbenke]

I'll check in the boxes with rocket supplies tomorrow
