Post up your favorite pics from Winterfests past, to let newbs know what they're in for, and allow us old timers to reminisce.

My first was '04, I joined in August '03 and had made some good friends at an informal NAXJA run in November of that year.

This rig was able to handle Green trail...



And this one was really clean...



...at the start of the event...

Was he wondering about chicken or beef? I didn't see it happen, but drove up the creek a few minutes after...



Saw my first flop...



Beezil didn't realize that it was my winch that brought him back upright until a few years later when we were talking about it.

 
A few of the usual suspects...



Morning after an attack of the hay fairies...



This was highly relevant...



Scott Mac saving Beezil's life...

 
In '05, due to an unavoidable scheduling conflict, I had my own WF in Hawaii.
Wheeled this sweet rental on Maui...



Coming back from an 8 mile hike, I was right about here on the Kalalu trail on Kauai while a bunch of drunks were leaving a long and hilarious message on my voicemail...



Imagine my disappointment when on Molokai, the Explorer we were supposed to rent was replaced with this...



 
WEll, I haven't been to 8- 10 WF's like some of you guys but the twoI went to have been awesome.

Here's Me, Tyler, and Collin being stupid and we paid for it. I had to drive 35 miles on strictly battery to the nearest autozone and had Big Hank change my Alternator in the parking lot.

WF oh-ten was the first Run in my new Rig and she performed flawlessly even with the sway bar still connected. Here's throttle hill. I love it.....Neal, not so much.

Here's a couple from '06.

Getting ready to roast a camper...





The bar was open late that night...



And who could forget this guy...

 
Some wheeling was done also.

This rig had a new and much better looking owner...



There was a famous video shot from right next to me...



I think this may have been one of the rare times that Les got stuck...

 
Good ole Les! I hear he is the only mortal man who Chuck Norris respects! :D
 
A couple of people that I don't think are around anymore...

Gill and Tim in '05.
