[Highatop]

Thanks for the pics. Looks like a fun group of trucks. Nice to see Ramrod crossed the border to wheel w/ everyone.

Sure did, it's been a nice change of pace to lounge by a pool and not having to set up the RTT lol

 

[ABNTROOP]

Nice! Was there one up on 10th like I thought or did you two fall victim to my nav skills lol! We were bummed when you two turned off, felt like the adventure was done.

Ramrod, it just came to me after seeing this pic and our whale watching trip in Victoria, B.C. - your T looks like an Orca!

 

[Hummjay]

Wow nice pics, Josh! Thanks for posting! Nice camera, nice effects. Do you ever exhibit your photos professionally, like gallery style? Ok enough teasing now... I want to see MORE!! :corn: Funny thing, when I saw the title of this thread I thought you were announcing the next PNW get together and I got excited. And hungry for bacon!! LOL. :giggle: So looks like we got 2 PNW recap threads going now, which only means twice the fun! :wink: Keep 'em coming!

I skated, getting in front of Matt was a huge time-saver. The 520 bridge closed at 3:00, and I scooted across at 2:59.

I've been biting my tongue since I saw the first picture of his H3T...

I sincerely apologize for having been in your way and slightly inconveniencing you. Thank god you didn't make it for the trail portion, otherwise you would have gotten your rig dirty AND had to take over leading the trail. Kind of wish it HAD worked out that way so we could have camped in the mythical field.

wow, sorry - it'll never happen again.

While I wasn't talking about you taking us on a couple wild goose chases, honestly, the only reason I got in front of you was because I live here - and know the area. As we had to make the ferry, I scooted in front because I've done that drive at least a thousand times.
While I see why you're all butt hurt, it had nothing to do with my comment about getting around you. By way of explanation, here's why it was a huge time saver. When we got off the ferry, I was the last one through the traffic light, then I cut across town - and managed to get across the bridge before it closed at 3:00.... which was pretty amazing, all things considered.

But as I said before, it'll never happen again. I was disappointed not to get to even go wheeling, and now to find out that my suggestion of an area to camp made the trip such a waste and cluster**** - next time, please, feel free to go on your own. I won't be there.

and another thing. I drove completely across the State of Washington in 36 hours so that I could make this little shindig, I spent 2 different Sundays going motorcycling in the area so that I could give you good directions. Then I took my dog, who'd, fortunately, got released on Thursday rather than Friday morning due to my desire to support this entire endeavor. Of course, I never told the vet my plans because they never would have released Buick so he could come with us. He had to come with us because I was the only person around that weekend to take care of him. While heading across the State of Washington, at night, I hit a deer adding another thousand dollars to the cost of the weekend in damage to my Jetta.

and you, little child, are pissy because you had to stay in a free campsite in the parking lot, rather than camping in the meadow that was next to the turn you missed leaving camp (the left turn at the stop sign would have saved us 5 miles). Oh yeah, I feel your pain.

So, what is the consensus of the members of the group who were on this run? What happened here? I hope that everyone on this run chimes in. Let's not get into a public tirade over what happened. Figure out what went wrong and what needs to be done so it doesn't happen again. After all, wheeling with our forum members/friends should be a safe and fun experience for all.

:giggle:Sit tight, I'm calling whine one one for ya, the waaambulance will be on its way shortly. You don't get to toss out a ****ty little dig without getting some mud in your eye. But your right, I'm the petulant one. Say hello to your better half for me, by that I mean Buick. :wink:

nothing happened outside of meeting someone in person and realizing they are just as much of a condescending prick in person as they come off on the forum. Outside of that (which I believe is only my issue :wink: ) we had a great time on the trails, even due to slow going due to poor signage.

 

[Bigunit]

Scarsman, see what happens when you aren't involved? I'm sure that you would have kept the peace!

 

[ABNTROOP]

 

[ABNTROOP]

I love that this thread bumped this section of the forum up to 21 viewing, you drama whores LMFAO!!! Like a bunch of damn vultures! :giggle:

 

[Bigunit]

It's all Scarsman's fault! JK, of course. Well, anyways, it sounds like those who participated in the run, had a great time.

 

[ABNTROOP]

I didn't get squat for photos. Usually I'm better about that
