One of two from New Mexico. Handlebars was the other and I didn't know him before the trip - he did a good job leadin' us through Hell's Revenge on Friday.

You did. We ran Metal Masher together and then that one night when we were all watching the video on the back of the RV someone mentioned my name and you and I giggled that we didn't know who each other were when we had done that whole trail ride.

Hell, at least I remember meeting you at the viewing party Dave, and I was even a bit inebriated by then!

Thanks for the memories...............

I count for both Idaho and Washington.

I was wondering which state you would claim. Did Jason (Idaho also) make it back okay?

I played tail gunner for Handlebar's group on Kane Creek. I wanted a nice senic trail to rest for the drive home. It flfilled the requirement and then some.

Too many late nights and early mornings, I must be getting old. :0

Thanks to all of you who help me in my times of trouble. Mike, Danno, Alex, John, Lincon and so many others who kept me from a roll over :anon: and fixed my Snake Bit tires (I will have better ones next time). You're all great people. This was my first real offroad adventure and it was really fun. Lots of great memories. Just wanted to say THANKS! I do have some photos I will be posting in awhile. Computer stuff I can do. 4-wheeling will take a lot more work. :D

All of you take care. Back to the grind!

Although there were some last minute "revisions", North Atlantic Chapter still had some good representation from:

Massachusetts,
New Jersey,
Pennsylvania,
Maryland,
and Virginia.

Just got home this morning at 1AM, made a mistake of not checking the weather forecast when I stopped in Denver for a couple of days before heading back and didn't leave until late Monday morning. Ran into the backside of that damn storm in the middle of Nebraska and it sat on top of me for the next 1500 miles!

Moab was a cakewalk, compared to the white knuckle driving at high speed with heavy rain, heavy wind gusts, heavy semis, heavy spray, with my fully loaded XJ (especially in the dark for 5 hours through the Alleghenies). What an idiot, should have waited until it passed by.

Just woke up, haven't had a chance to digest the past three weeks. Maybe later . . . . . ;)

Michigan!

With Ted Z. & ForeWheeler backing out I'm may be the only one representing the Great Lake State.

Grant

October 15th, 2003, 15:17

Scott, good to see you again. Now if we can just get you to support a decent hockey team - you'll be golden.

Avalanche Rules - Redwings suck :D :D

Grant

glad that hockey season has started.

Scott Mac.

October 15th, 2003, 15:32

We'll talk about hockey in the spring where the real competition starts. :cool:

I usually get a few bad looks through Denver with that sticker in the back window but this time I had none. Back in '99 on our way out to Ouray I had a guy with Colorado plates pull up next to me in Denver with his buddy riding shotgun waving his Red Wings fan club card out the window and giving my a thumbs up.:D

Grant

October 15th, 2003, 16:00

Redwings vs Av's is one of my favourite rivalries. Not quite on the Broncos vs Raiders level but still quite heated.

I still remember the game starting a few years back and immediately both teams were involved in a brawl on the ice, including the goalies.

Of course the Wings kicking our butts in a couple of conference finals does not help either.

Joe Daro (flexy XJ)

It was great seeing everyone again, even Andy.

Thanks to the show-n-shine judges for the "judges choice" award. That was nice.....I think.

Looking at my safety inspections, you left out John Irwin ('97) and Dave Irwin ('90) from Kansas, and Don H. ('99) from Florida.

Also, I know I inspected a rig with a Georgia plate, but nobody put down a GA address.

That makes 29.

Not bad, not bad at all. :D

Probably the same guy that just moved to Utah not too long ago from Georgia. I think his name is Grant.

Oops forgot about Don H & FL. (does he really count for anywhere since he's on a gigantic road trip in his M/H)

Didn't see the KS crew, sorry,

kinda counted Grant as Utah (since he moved), missed the GA tag

29 is awesome!
