bummer Daniel!!

Weather forecast looking like dog mess but dont care, this is one place that rain actually makes more interesting.

from Nov 2013

Jimmy is coming on Thursday with Me. He has an awesome Truck. He was one of Marlins first customers and has even driven the Rubicon with Marlin!!! Also he may be able to out drink John! LOL See youse guys at the J

 

[pillguy]

dang it... and I was going to buy snow chains, and a snorkel.... Looks like we are going to have high water. Any updates on conditions?

 

[BGarcia88FJ62]

My apologies gentleman but if the forecast doesn't improve you can count me out most likely. Snow I don't mind at all
cold I don't mind at all but 3 days of rain and cold doesn't seem to appealing to me.

 

[TeddyBoy]

can't say that I blame you but I've yet to see a 5 day forecast I can rely on, I hope it's wrong again. We're in regardless of rain and yes Andrew you may need that norkel.

 

[TeddyBoy]

I sure hope you guys have a little extra room for crap cause I sure as haites dont. Have a busy day tomorrow so knocked it today.

I'll see y'all at the Flying J tomorrow at 8:30. Jason T.

 

[HENDOG]

Sounds Good, You Bringing Jack???

 

[93FZJ80]

Yep but we're camping far far away from you Henry.

Chupacabra might get ya!

 

[HENDOG]

You can run, but you can't hide!!!

 

[DSLTOY]

I don't ( can't) run so I come armed.

Sounds like it was a long wet day today on the trail out of the cove. Hopefully everyone has made it home by now. My dad was still at the flying j around 1:30am.

Damn, Haven't heard from anyone. Hope all is well. I'm sure there will be a full report and pics up sometime today or tomorrow.
Glad I didn't go into the Cove, I've been dealing with the "CRUD" since Thursday evening.

 

[TeddyBoy]

What crud Ben?

Anyway, the story is unfolding on the STLCA page but we took pics too so I'll post them here as well.

Here are Johns, has a few vids but I'll upload those later
