4th Annual "IDTT" Calico Reunion Run

[Lead Dog]

Well how was it? Help those of us out that didn't make it!

Where's the pictures?

[steelman]

Well, I don't have the pictures, but there were a lot of cameras out there, so I'm sure we'll see lots of pics soon (I hope!).

Thanks all, it was a GREAT trip!!! Nice to again see those of you I've met before, and nice to meet new folks as well. Good times in Calico! :thumbs_up :thumbs_up

Sarah, hope your feelin' better...that sun was a killer!

This was my first time meeting most of everybody from this site and my little group and I had a really great time with some really great people. Cant wait to do it again and hopefully I'll be locked up next time. Trying to get some of the pictures i took on the site but not sure how. Not sure if Sarah has updated my subscription yet. Hopefully photos and videos to follow

We missed everybody the first night, as we couldn't find the campsite.

Eventually we gave up, and headed back to Peggy Sues and just stayed in the tractor.
The second night, my brother brought his TT rig out to the campground so that worked out find.

Somehow, I wound up missing anything that seemed like a roll call, but it all worked out anyway, and off we went.
I had a great time!
Here is the gallery.
The gatekeeper didn't like SWB, but seemed ok letting the cherokees in. After watching critter make an amazing run at it, eventually he backed out. He was SOOO close, inches literally several times. Then a couple rubis. Santa delivered the first package.

See for yourself.
I paid one of the girls in the group to take my camera and snap pictures. She did a pretty good job I'd say. IF anybody here wants the high resolution picture, E-mail me and I'll send it to you.

NICE PICTURES! Thanks for sharing! I still can't believe my CHIT let me down! OH Well better to find out its broke at home than on the trail!

[Mtbikbob]

Great times...... as usual, the pictures just don't do the trails justice.
The one picture, that does seem to capture the moment.
Chris, when driving without looking...or was it talking and driving...or was it breathing, chewing gum, talking and driving.


Critters finer positions


Rat Patrol in action, or in need of a push

Drew,

XJ Kevin...going everywhere

Stuart's Jeep? It never looks the same everytime I meet up him, the jeeps changed radically.

This obstacle, Malachi, is where you went between them and received rock rash, these guys went over it and pushed the rock all around, kinda like what Chris was doing in the first picture.

Here are some pic's from the Russ Chung Stocker Run.


















I tried to get pic's of everybody throughout the day, these are only a few. If you'd like Hi Rez versions PM me your screen name, Rig and Email and I'll send you what I've got of you.


Big thanks to Russ for planning and leading a great run!!! Also thanks to Russ & Fishpoet for some great spotting!

Thanks to everyone on the run for such a great day!



Ride'on,

Thanks for all the great pic's so far! It was so fun meeting and hanging with all of you!! I had a great time.

Thanks to everyone for a great turnout, wonderful wheeling and an awesome group of friends. I know I didn't get a chance to meet everyone, but trust me, I tried!

Thanks to everyone for the donations and purchases, every little bit goes a long way. We appreciate it.

We started out at Peggy Sue's for breakfast around 8AM. That place was pretty full! The run up Doran and down Odessa went very well from what I heard and saw. I have some pics which I'll try and post sometime today. Odessa had some nice-sized rocks and ruts to make it more challenging than the usual freeway it is. Woohoo! I didn't get a total rig count since we were near the beginning. We were all back to camp around 2 or 3.

We had a birthday party for Brian Saturday night. Tam brought a yummy chocolate cake. Written in icing was "We Love Brian" - his fan club holds strong! We twirled glowsticks in the air as we sung to him. He repaid us by passing out Patron shots! Campfire introductions took place as we remembered our favorite stories and trail runs. Everyone was off to bed somewhat early after such a long day.

Sunday, Russ organized a scenic run. Rick and I, Tam and Chris and NeedajeepDave caught up at Wall Street Canyon. What a neat place! Our group then headed down Doran to get back to camp for lunch. You can see Chris' damage above ... make that Chris' damage to TAM's jeep!! Hehe. After a weekend without a jeep top, I was totally beat. We were one of the last to head out, and wow that cold shower at home felt great!

Thanks to everyone for the great photos so far, I'll be making a gallery folder if anyone wants to upload to their account here. You guys rock!!

What happened to my orig post?

OH WELL!

How or what is the correct line to get thru this?



Did everyone have this much trouble or was Critter just doing a differant line?

Same here!

I'm taking the Jeep to R&D to figure out what happened to my wishbone! I hope they have a radical plan to get me more travel in the rear!
