Clint, I plan to be there but I've got a few things to take care of on the drive tomorrow so I'll be heading south on my own. Watch for a blue BJ60 as you head south!
 
Things came up here as well. I will be meeting on Sat. morning at O'Brien as usual and not heading in early.
 
no idea on the diesel.

plaques are off again.

Leaving in a couple hours, long drive.

Jeff is back in town!
 
I'm sure there is diesel in CJ ... Cave Juntion it's much closer to O'Brien and on the way.
 
a phenomenal event! What a great time... probably the best McGrew ride to date!

Thanks to everyone who attended and made it so.
 
we had a great time as usual
exceptional weather, it was strange waking up at the river not soaked.
great crowd
BIG thanks to the Trail Teams crew for the loot and entertainment

YES ... the 8th Annual McGrew Trail Ride goes down in history as another great time! Thanks to all those who supported us, the Trail Team's awesome raffle prize, and the great food for Tony to mooch ;p

Like many secrets, they eventually come to be known ... the secret swimming hole has finally been discovered by all :whoops:
 
Once again a superb outing. Thanks Tony and Jeff. My crew and I had a great time.

Trail Team doing some fine driving

more PICS in no apparent order
:cool:
 
Great time indeed! Thanks Jeff and Tony and thanks Trail Team, it's just a nice small run that keeps getting better. :cheers:
 
We had a good time as well and no real carnage!
 
Yeah it was great! That is one of my favorite, somewhat local runs. Thanks Jeff and Tony for making it memorable for us all. And to the TT team, had fun watching them and I really needed a hat!
I want to also say that it was great to get to meet all you other Toyota lovers. The PMC guys and the new Jefferson State guys too. Put that donation to good use Garret. :)
Looking forward to running with you all again. Russ, I think you had the funnest food there, Thanks

All I need now is a new suspension and steering set up!!

:cheers:
 
Yes, the Oyster bar was classic... thanks for bringing the Kumamoto's Russ!

And to watch Travis Knoll and Garret run the trail, after running Rubithon, like rock crawling masters! What a difference in their attitude and their skill.


The Raffle was fun, but I really enjoyed calling each registered driver up and quizing them on various topics, mainly their TLCA involvement and running McGrew.

Ron had videos going. Jack fixed Jeff and I breakfast before Ron was even up. Joshua donated the hi lift jack, which Bob Bancroft' wife was bummed when he donated it back to the raffle, one lucky person in the raffle won a rock... and Don Gatton took the grand prize donated by the Trail Team, $500 gift card.

Ron Safreno was in San Diego Thursday night, and at O'Brien store Saturday morning. Phew. No wonder he won the PMC participation raffle.

Jeff Dirks had the right idea, he went in Thursday and enjoyed some time there.

and as Aric noted, no dew this time! No sure what happened, I always sleep under the stars and get some heavy dew, but not this year.

The swimming hole was most excellent.

I am just amazed at the phenomenal good time we had. Thanks to all!
 
If anyone has some pics they want to send my way shoot me a PM and I will give you my email address. Thanks.
 
Once again it was a fantastic Trip. Family, Friends, and Cruisers (and a Tundra) What more could you want. I was happy this year that I got to bring the entire family. This was the best year by far, and I did'nt even drive the trail. I think the trail is just an added bonus, and I would bet the majority of people would still show-up minus the trail. I even got to the secert swimming hole, that I was hearing about. I can't wait for my kids to be older to enjoy it like there father did.

On a side note, the trip out of camp was almost not good for myself. A good size stick made the perfect leap from the ground to being wedged between my exhaust and transfer case, and about ripped out the conection of wires that handle the fourwheel drive. When it happened all my lights for the fourwheel drive started blinking, and I thought for sure it pulled all the wires. Luckly it somehow pulled the conector off and not just the wires. After a few mintues of trying to get the stick free, and repluging the conector all was good.

Maybe next year we could raffle off peices of Russ's plastic bumper and a Rock. Great job to all that help make Mcgrew the best secert in the TLCA.

Thank you Tony, another great run this year. We are already looking forward to next years event and hope that we can be involved to help get some of this off of you and Jeff's plate.
 
Wow... I think we might have next years slogan...

'The best kept secret in TLCA!'

or

'I won a rock!'


I know I speak for both Jeff and I when I say... 'Thanks for all the kind words'.
