Not looking good, no time off work at all!

I doubt I will make it this year, no time off work and the wife comes back from more then a month away on the 5th . . .

Bummer, I was hoping to see you and your "Cherokee" out on the trail.

I might be going so I'm glad you won't be there!


But can you at least hook your monkey up with a ride in somebody else's rig?

And now everyone knows the real reason I am not going, please everyone don't flake on this run just because GSequoia is going. He is not that bad . .

Opie won the monkey in the raffle back in 2007:

That monkey saved a friends life in the cold watters of Buck Island Lake in 2004!!!!

Since it won't be there in person, it's nice that at least I got to see a picture of your Cherokee...

haha what the hell did I just watch, I clicked on that youtube link below the monkey picture and it was the most random 30 seconds of my life

Well I don't need any tickets. vehicle is hiway capable, no windshield, and a few smog pieces are awol. Can't justify liscencing (spel chek) and insuring it, just to drive it 37 mi. a year. Thanks for the replies guys.

I took my buggy on this trip the last two years, so you can do it in a non-street legal vehicle. Others have driven seriously cut down rigs also. You won't see any cops up there, just maybe a ranger. If you don't want to risk the short section of highway, there are a couple ways to do it. You can drive in and out from the south side and avoid any highway travel, or you can leave the rig before the highway and have one of the other guys drive you back the couple miles to get your trailer. Or, you can get in the middle of the big line of rigs for that few miles and not worry about it, that's been done before too. No ranger is going to bother checking to see if you're registered unless he sees you stopped on the side of the road in a non-legal looking vehicle (ask Capt Ron), you'd be pretty safe (from a ticket) if you are in a caravan of Jeeps.

I'd like to go, but I as well, have a normal job and would drive up from LA Friday night...I'll keep you all posted!

:eeks1: Only one month until Swamp Lake! :eeks1:​

So far it looks like we have 6 that are going for sure and 12 "maybes". Anyone else thinking about going? Any of the maybes able to firm up plans?

 

[Ben H]

Wow if Ben H is going I am really sad I won't be going! How are you doing Ben? It has been a while I think.

I'm good phil. Work has me wrapped around its finger, but in this economy its a good thing. It has been to long. How are you doing?
