I did the math and the Cruiser did around (give or take) 1,750 miles from Monday-Sunday. The only issue I had was the pyro power wire breaking off inside the engine bay. Simple fix re-crimping it.

Or confused.
I had a great time even with the incident that required my copilot to change her underwear. I must say I had more fun meeting everyone than the actual wheeling but that's probably not uncommon in this community
I'm just wondering how your covering all of your bruises? I know she beat your tail when she got you home!
What about the Handi Wipes?Now Charles just need to swap in the new fuel filter and his truck will be "overland prepared"....

Hello All
What a great weekend! Thank you to all who attended, whether or not you drove a 70 Series. It was fantastic to see old friends and meet new ones. Also good to see the face behind the avatar (well, in most cases).
Thank you Onur for our dinner on Friday night. Very generous of you and much appreciated. Thank you also for the oil filters. Mine will be installed soon.
Ward, thank you for the hat and the front axle rebuild kit to come. Missed saying good bye to you but glad you attended. Hopefully our group and others will purchase Terrain Tamer parts from you in the future.
Windrock OHV Park www.windrockpark.com outside Oak Ridge, TN has been suggested as a possible venue for our next gathering. I have been there several times and think it would be good choice. Varied trails that are laid out well and easy to navigate. There is camping there and restaurants and hotels nearby. Please consider where you would like to go and suggest parks or destinations that might interest our group.
I think we should wheel together so folks with more experience can mentor those who are new to trail riding. It was fun for me to share what little I know with others. We can break into groups also, just whatever everyone wants to do. Before we hit the trails next time, we should have a driver's meeting. That was my fault, we should have discussed the day before we left.
Hope that everyone made it home safely and that I see you on the trails again soon!

11+ hour drive for me. I can feel, or should I say unfeel, my lower half cringing.
Agree with Windrock. I have spent quite a bit of time there and instructed / lead rides there quite a bit. I am more than willing to help setup / lead rides there ....
I probably have 5,000 miles of seat time there in both 4x4 and ATVs ...

I've been out of town so I'm just catching up with this thread and although I couldn't attend, the event was on my mind and I felt I was there in spirit. It looks like it was as great a time as anticipated! Hopefully next year, I'll make the cross country trip. Numb ass be damned! Thanks for sharing!
Im so bummed i missed this..... great time by the looks of it.
Yeah, Sam, quit dickin' around and get goin'.
Thanks .... Now I have to go buy a newspaper that has few pictures and a lot of big words.
I'll have to look when I get home.
Let me get past the diligence phase of the house purchase and I'll get with Charles and Peter and get a jump on this thangYeah, Sam, quit dickin' around and get goin'.
