But will he still love me when he realizes that he just happened to be in the picture, and I wasn't really focused on him?

Till I realized what he was doing that is...

I have just become the gayest member of by ruining every photo taken on the snow run

Very, very true.

:flame:er

 

[XJ_ranger]

some reference as to where we were... :wow:

This train bridge...

is WAY the eff up in the air!

200mm baby!!!

then Alex gave me the same hand signal as Matt... :dunno:

then I got stuck...

and started messing with the camera trying to get the mountain in the background...

 

[XJ_ranger]

its okay though - I wasnt the only stuck one -

cheers!

Lyle doesnt love me near as much as Alex...

Jason (Casper's) son - Nathan? - happy kids make a happy dad.

I like how I can see Matt's headlights are on in this shot -

 

[XJ_ranger]

Very, very true.

True...but that was one time to your how many? :moon:

Definitely a fun trip though. I agree that the snow conditions were not awesome, however could have been worse. The key was definitely no wheel spin whatsoever. As Matt said, him and I ended up making it up pretty far and I'm sure could have gotten up much farther but didn't want to push it because of time/lighting.

Good day though, nice meeting a lot of you.

 

[northwestxj]

Any more pics though guys, Matt??

I made it, not too long ago actually. Ya, the main portion is pretty simple for the most part but there is some supports, etc. that you can't see. There's a few more pictures and a little more info here if you wanted: http://www.pnwjeep.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14458

Jake, taking a leap:

Gives new meaning to "snow drift:"

This is where we turned around, about a mile in front of the main group:

0-1 PSI:

Opie in his natural environment, stuck:

"Uh...is there anybody who hasn't pulled me out today who would like to try?"

Victor had a wardrobe malfunction which Opie dubbed an "Alex access flap:"

[XJCasper]

Love Snow. Loved the Snow, no matter what the condition.
Shows what needs to be done to the Jeep next.

I was worried about the kids getting bored, but they had a great time.

Thank you for a good day and posting all of the pics.

Great pics, looks like a fun trip.


And "The Dude" was definitely abiding on-screen as Matt and Ryan engaged in tomfoolery.

Not to mention one of the best scenes of the movie was showing on the screen.

-Lyle

P.S. Jake, so uh...wanna make another one of those bumpers?

 

[uber xj]

All those pics look great. Looks like it was a good time. I would have been there in a heartbeat if I had a capable Jeep.

Jake, your Jeep looks good in the snow man (all of them do really).

How'd those worn out Open Country's do in the snow?

 

[vbjornsson]

The drive down

Gotta find something to do when everyone is stuck...
