Live From Cruise Moab!

I thought I should post pictures of the dinner and the TLCAs best event raffle. We had a lot of stuff.

Also, Mark performed his version of the TLCA anthem

Just got back with the CDan clan.....

CM08 was a great time as usual...Nice to see familiar faces again, good friends, lots of drinking and singing with Mark Algazy and the Wastach Cruisers, lots of driving, making stupid wheeling mistakes, thanks to Bruce and Ross Miller for saving the rest of my CM trip by providing me with a front drive shaft after I candycaned mine, nice to see and chat with dmc after his epic trip, hanging out with Cruiserdrew and yep in Valley of the Gods and for their good companionship, hanging with Romer, CDan, Hugh from Safari, and so many others, Chad and Caleb from Mule--thanks for the sticker and t-shirt!, and hanging with Alia176, chitown40, RoverRay and Rovermechanic John from Chicago, and big thanks to Robbie for troubleshooting my power steering issue....looks like another pump for me!

Carnage list:

Front DC drive shaft
PS Pump
Slee skid plate
Tie Rod

tried to make all the rounds sat am before i left, but missed a chance to say goodbye to most, mudrak, bill, phil, tony and cindy, hugh, the browns (not too concerned there, since they're local), bob brown, i know there are many many more....cm08 was a blast! glad i came home sat though....long drive with the trailer behind the pig and much less traffic to piss off, especially after eisenhower when i became convinced that my rear suspension was broken, not broke in.

relaxed today, went and saw a good friend, got the dogs out to play, cleaned the camper and did laundry...hhhhmmm, all the stuff i did right before moab, so i guess it's time to head out

Ige in case you forget, you were having a discussion of folks from different parts of the country with the Wasatch group.

 

[wesintl]

It's always great to see and wheel with old friends esp the wasatch and high desert folks. I enjoyed meeting and putting names to faces like brownbear. I'm glad moab was good to you. That's a sweet 60 you have there!

Not enough wheeling but it was a good to get out of work for a day or two. I can't believe another CM is in the bag...

The Maul Cruiser and it's pilot (My wife, Sarah) Did a wonderful job.

I sure hope that FJ-25 won some kind of award! How about posting up all the award winners for us Moab deprived suckers?

We gave Phil's FJ25 "Sickest Rig", which was about all we had that would fit.

Other awards:

Best Trail Leader - Dave Brown
Cruise Moab MVP - Greg Luer
Iron Butt - Darell Brown who drove 2500 miles from BC in a BJ60.
8-Ball -

I have to admit that as many times as I have been on Poison Spider or Golden Spike (6 times), I have yet to cough up the courage to do the wedgy

congratulations to Sarah

Matt looks much happier in the sun, I think he got a few too many cold nights during the overnighter

First of all, I want to give a huge thanks to all involved in putting on CM08. This was my first, with many more to come following. Like it's been said thanks to Rising Sun and all who made us feel so welcome.

Most importantly, my family had a great time, which means I did too. I was amazed at how many families were there. I thought I was doing pretty good there with a 6 mo. baby girl there, but Dirty Toad informed me that someone had me beat with a newborn.

I think I'm heading back to Moab in a couple weeks as I didn't gete my fill...

Here's a couple pics. I'll post up more when I get them all sorted out...

• brownbear (with Mrs. brownbear in the foreground) getting some help from treeroot up buttscratcher on Gold Bar Rim after burying his rear bumper
• 4runner climbing the first optional ledge on Gold Bar
• Me being a poser on the Wedgie

Some Glamour Shots

Well, first off, THANK YOU Rising Sun! For putting on a great event. You guys rock! I didn't get to Moab until Fri. night so I couldn't get inspected or sign up for any guided trailruns so next year will be different. I just latched on to the Safari Limited guys (Thanks Hugh & Kelly) and we went out for a scenic run through Long and Pucker with some other stuff around Gemini I think... then did a touristy run through arches.

Ige, glad you got home safe, Subzali Hope you did too (sweet hook on the cabin!) Hatfield, glad to meet you. Zornff, sorry I missed you (had that cnote for yah) Red Chili glad I could press palms. Marlin, You are the bomb! To the redline guys, glad to to see the sweet ASS pig! Weaklink NICE RIG! It was great to meet everybody!

With no further adeau (sp?)
