Over the Mountain Tour 07 (Tellico Summer Blowout with the Toyota Trail Team)

[Sputnik40]

Wow - what a great time, worth the drive!!!

Thanks to Ken, David and Henry for having the guts to run co-pilot with me - wheeled the snot out of the 40. Sorry about that headache Dave - and that time you though we were gonna roll (snicker - that was funny!). I know Ken enjoyed Lower 2 on Friday - nice mellow ride. As to Sat. - can't believe we blitzed Lower 2, Upper 2, dropped off David way back at camp, picked up Henry and then blitized 6 in under 30 minutes in 2 wheel drive, smoked slick rock - putting things back to right, and got to sneak out 5. All that and having to wait for Rob to put the tread back on the track-how...

Thanks to Marshall, the Cuban, Dan, Heather, JP and anyone I forgot to mention who put so much into this. The wings were supurb, as was everything else. David - the cigars made it perfect - Thanks!!!

Sorry I didn't get to spend more time talking with everyone else - way too much driving to get there and no sleep makes for an unusually deaf dumbarse. Woody - I am going to kick this mud habit - just watch, ha

A BIG THANKS to all those who we saw doing trail repairs, Roger, Rob, the guys from Atlanta, and those we didn't see on Schoolbus - your efforts and sacrifices of time are very much appreciated.

As to my meager help seeding the tank traps on Lower 2 - David got a kick out of calling me Johnny Appleseed .

Safe and rested at home - stoked to have no breakage!

Oh jeez... all this sappy love for each other makes me think we all need to get back together to have a group hug. How's tomorrow sound?!


I really got to hand it to ya'll, McNabb was a perfect decision, Nathan's hotdogs was a perfect decision, t-shirt design was a perfect decision, my decision to return for the third straight year even though my wagon was down.... perfect decision!
Thanks for everything ya'll!

This was a great trip for us! Many thanks to the planning & execution committee members, the East Coast FJ TT and comradery of the Upstate Cruisers.

Thanks to UC for getting the groups together. I never did hook-up with anyone on the trails, Sunday my son and I worked hard to find you around sliprock but we never did catch up to you. I did get to meet many of you at the camp and appreciate the camaraderie. I am looking forward to joining you for future events.

You were with Jerry D. right - were you one of the 3 FJ's trying Lower 2 on stock tyres? If so, sorry I didn't stick around - too many trails calling me . Be sure to get involved with the UC group - they're very diverse and FJ friendly!!!

Yes I was, but my voodoo turned around at the base of the garden and the others made it to the top with only the 40 suffering real damage. My hats are off to them and Jerry for persevering.

I hope to get up into the mountains often and the UC will see me again I am sure.

Bump for some good memories.

Good memories, indeed. Last year was the last time I really was wheeling (yeah, I was at GSMTR, but I don't count that because I didn't really go out much). And even then, I spent a lot of time puking on the trail since I was just pregnant enough to be sick as a dog. And those port o pottys sure didn't help with that, lemme tell ya!

Kind of appropriate that one year later, I am returning post baby.
