Well since its a little after 11 and i have nothing to do, i figured i might as well start this thread, hope thats ok with everyone! please feel free to add your pics and stories as well!!. To start off we all met around 9-10 in the parking lot, began the process of airing down and proceeding with the pre run meeting to figure out what we were doing! Since we had so many people we split up into groups, some people were noobs (me) others were hardened veterans of wheeling.

Anyways, i followed a couple of the land cruisers who knew the lay of the land. Sorry i didnt get a chance to wheel with the other hummers, even though it was nice to see all of you out there.

Our little group played around in the rock quarry some.

Then the FJ decided to take on a puddle that was a bit too big!Luckily the jeeps were there to save the day....It took one jeep winching and the other with the tow strap to pull him out!

The somewhere on one of the trails i got a flat :( (sorry no pics) got that fixed and moved on.
Then the FJ got a flat, the same tire, left front!! haha

Then another turn for the worst...the landcuiser shorted out and got stuck right at a fork in the trail, at the top of a hill, where it was narrow and steep as well!! luckliy the trusty old hummer was there to full him out of the trail!

I guess he had a bad alternator and the car wouldn't stay on, I had to tow him back to the park entrance.
My apologies for not wheeling with all of you, i thought some of you were going to follow us, but then we couldn't find any of you haha. All in all a good time, i look forward to wheeling with you all again sometime soon!!
Please post up your pics and stories!!!!!

Great to meet everyone today. Had an awesome time. I got a few pics I may post up, but I know there were some much better photographers there than me. Look forward to seeing the pics.

Yeah we had some separation issues some planned some not. I got some macular dry eye issues and wifi issues but will work on it. This was a a really large venue and watching the vehicle behind you theory failed, at times.
I am struggling with this connection and other issues but will write a full report when I get home. Overall it was a hoot! Lots of ohh so I now have a face with a forum name but that was tough to figure out. Basically a good comradiery!! (sp) More later if i can download the pics on motel wi-fi!!
Yeah the vagabond Hunner Hummer overlanded up there!!

Did anyone else get any video? I got very little unfortunately because I left it on and took a 70 minute video of my floormat and ran down the battery, OOPS! If you did, let me know and I'll try to combine it with what litle I have.

Again, it was great meeting everyone, and when is the next ride? I am thinking WindRock either the second or third weekend in December.

Yeah me too. I think the bucket has overloaded it's servers. Several issues lately.
I tried to edit down all of mine and felt like the 37 I picked was a lot to post so I uploaded them on my ACDSee server which will stay up for awhile until I can figure out how else to do it. I got home after 10 hours of Hummin about 7 tonight or whatever time it is with 4 changes.
I had a great time meeting all of you.
This is sort of a mixture of all the terrain we drove thru. Guess I better see if this worked!!
Well that was a little better but it still changed the order I shot them in. I give up on this mess. Must be the time change :roll:
Go here to see my pictures. Let me know if you have trouble seeing them. It seems to be working.
