A few pics from Sat NWfest

[Jakethesnake]

Here's a few shots I got from saturday. I wasn't part of NWfest, but happened to run into it at funny rocks.

This looked crazier in real life!

Oops! I saw this one happen, it happened slow motion, didn't seem to do much damage though.

Photos really don't do justice to the experience. I had a great time and enjoyed the good company. Here are a couple of snaps.

Looking at a lot of sky through the windshield at this point. (Can only see the hand signals above the hood.)

Jake, I forgot to thank the two of you for the help with my little mishap. You guys were calm about the whole thing and got me back on all fours nice and quick. :thumbup:

On a side note, I just got home a little bit ago all in one piece. I'll have a trip report up later tonight. All I can say was that the last five days were a total blast.

[supsa]

Nice pics. We need more.

[thethinginthewoods]

Nice pics. We need more.

LOTS MORE PLEASE! Freakin' camera was being a piece of junk and I couldn't take any.

[mojojojo]

Nice pics. We need more.

[Muddy Beast]

I'm about to go through mine...but it'll be a bit. On a side note, the drive home was a piece of cake. :thumbup: I have about 4gigs of pics.

[NickThePyro]

I had an amazing time, I am kinda scared to see some of the pictures.

[thethinginthewoods]

I can't wait to see them all. My drive home was great, but a broken passenger CV u-joint from the moon rocks made it a little clunky (more than usual).

[supsa]

you made it home on a broken u-joint? Wow

[NickThePyro]

And you guys would be proud, I still dont have the bushwackers on. :)

[noutlawjeeper]

Last one out. I had the privilage of taking lots of trash to the dumpsters today. I know who you are, a-holes.

I need a vacation after my vacation.

[supsa]

way to take out the trash Nick :spin1: :spin1:

[Smittty9785]

dammit, im there next year... well we will see...

Wow...that sucks man. I cleaned up my camp and stuck it all in the Jeep, then left a bag for Brian to take his trash home in.

On the bright side here's some teasers.

Me on the crack for the first time...pic by Brian with my camera.

This photo does NO justice to this line, think of the crack only shorter. Doug and Rich found the line out of the ravine, I just followed them.

More to come later. flickr.com/photos/scott_schmitz/

Thanks Nick! I took out my 2 bags worth:thumbup:

[noutlawjeeper]

I'm not mad, I just know who to mess with next time.:D

[WaXJ_Skier]

I'm not mad, I just know who to mess with next time.:D

but you knew who to mess with before that happened.

[noutlawjeeper]

Now there is more than just Alex on the list.

[thethinginthewoods]

I'm not mad, I just know who to mess with next time.:D

I'm thinking we could decorate people's rigs with garbage and lots of spray-on duct tape for lazy bums who don't clean up after themselves. Possibly all the windows and door handles covered in cans and litter!
:laugh:

[supsa]

I just past on Rich's trash bags

[BigDog]

Looks and sounds like everyone had a great time. I will be there next year one way or another.

[squidd]

Looks like a blast. Won't be moving or working next year. I'll have front gears in the jeep too by then...I promise!!

[olysteve]

Her's a teaser for now,,

[Big Mike]

Wow Great pics and I too had an unreal time. Home in one piece and jonesing for the next fix already. Thanks to all who put the time in to make it a lot of fun for eveyone.
P.S.- I got some great pics too as soon as i figure out how to do this computer thing.
CHEERS

[WheelinJR]

Methinks Dustin will be building a rollcage soon, heh.

[mojojojo]

oh no, no need for that. Dustin got really good at flop and recovery this weekend, and he's somehow learned how to do it without getting ANY body damage. :worship:

practice makes perfect . . . .

[Avanteone]

I'm not mad, I just know who to mess with next time.:D

For some reason, ALL of the trash got piled in the center near my trailer. It really should have been divided up better before the majority of the group left. We policed the campground, picked up a bunch more trash, I hauled two or three bags, Emil & Victor grabbed a bag or two, and we left a couple more bags there that I figured the remaining people could handle. Nick, I didn't think you'd get stuck with the remainder.

[fubar XJ]

Bummer about the trash. I had about fifty empty beer cans (no, I didn't drink every single one) and random assorted other items piled on the passenger floor of my Jeep that I took home and threw away. Thanks to those that took extra trash home to throw out, and a thousand curses on those who generated trash all weekend and took none home.

John when you left I grabbed everything that was left minus the BBQ. :D

[thethinginthewoods]

And you guys would be proud, I still dont have the bushwackers on. :)

A tree near shoestring ate mine.

[thethinginthewoods]

you made it home on a broken u-joint? Wow

Yeah, it's been really noisy and I am hoping it doesn't blow on me, especially since I have have been using the Jeep as my daily driver since NWFest and I have already logged a couple hundred miles since!

[NickThePyro]

A tree near shoestring ate mine.
Yeah I saw you were missing one:roll:

[thethinginthewoods]

I don't really care. They were on it when I bought it and get ripped off all the time anyway. The holes for the bolts are all torn out and you can only put so many washers in there...

I guess it'll give me a chance to rip 'em all off and sell what's left and try to have someone fab up some flat-fender style like Matt and Alex have.

Yeah Im doing tube flat fender flares also. TGRAD want $800 for them :/

That would be freakin' sweet, but I'm not about to drop that for fender flares. I'll probably wait until I learn to weld or find someone who can for me.

[NickThePyro]

Yeah Im trying to find somebody who will do it for reasonable, ill let you know when I find somebody.

[noutlawjeeper]

John when you left I grabbed everything that was left minus the BBQ. :D

Good, my Dad wouldn't be very happy with me if I returned without it.

Yeah Im trying to find somebody who will do it for reasonable, ill let you know when I find somebody.

Call "Those Guys". There were there this weekend and responsible for Matt, Alex, and Lyle's cages and flares.

I called them yesterday.

They charge $800 for the flares :(

[noutlawjeeper]

Oh, I get it now. I was trying to figure out who the hell TGRAD was. :attom:

[IXNAYXJ]

The flares take as long as the cage to fab up. It's just a PITA to do and they charge accordingly. I've NEVER touched my front flares on anything, I just have them so it matches the back (and so John can drive up them). If you just wanted a set of rear flares made up, retain the stock fronts (which I think would look just fine) I bet the price would be a lot less.

Sounds good, thanks!
