JV Friday headcount....

[CRASH]

Two weeks away, can't wait!

OK so far I have from the SoCal crew: Curtis, Andy Couch, Ed Stevens, Mike Rollins, Goatman.

Nor-Cal: Gary Evans, me, Jes, and potentially Matt.

My question is, who's showing up on Friday night? I need to plan on how much meat to bring for a pig in the ground party. I know Paul Sinclair has been really begging me to do this for a while, so I'm sure once he reads this, he'll drop his other priorities just to be there for the suckling boar........

Also, where do we want to camp? Up before the main camp, where Garry and Blaine usually hang? Looks like the Nor-Cal boys will get there first (ironically), so I want to plant myself in a good spot and not have to move if the rest of the group has other preferances. Personally, I'm thinking of camping up near the mailbox...... :D

2 weeks???? Are you sure you got the dates right? I thought it was later on in April...

Kejtar

[Goatman]

Yeah, it's two weeks from this coming weekend, April 11-13.

So, you're going to try and cook another boar's butt? I'll be there Friday night, should I bring something to add to the feast or are you NorCal guys providing the groceries? :)

We'll camp at our normal spot up the road, just before the big gulley, not down on the lake bottom.

So, Andy, are you guys still planning to be there Thursday night?

Richard

[CRASH]

Yeah, we'll be there about 9 or 10 pm on Thursday night.

The boars butt will be accompanied by tortillas and rice and beans. Kind of an old-school carnitas thing.

[Ed A. Stevens]

One of my old racing friends plans to ride along and spot, and I have to pick him up in Duarte late Friday afternoon. Then drive to Big Bear to pickup the XJ and air up the tires (the XJ is stored in BB).

We will probably show up Saturday AM. The beds in the BB house, at 9PM, will likely look more inviting than Boone Road sand.

[CRASH]

Never mind the mailbox, I'm bunking with Ed!

Between Mil's carne asada & Andy's wild boar, how can I miss this one. I'll be there, arriving Friday morning or Friday afternoon.
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

There is always room. It's less than 40 minutes from Means Lake at less than legal speeds.

Can't wait to see the "Stinkey Amoeba"(or is it Amiba?). :D


Jes

[DesertXJ]

I should be there before noon!!

[CRASH]

Curtis,

I hope to be done with Sledge by about 1pm, if we get an early start. Looks like we'll have only 3 or 4 rigs running the early Friday run, then we'll come back to camp and start a cookout. Get an early dinner, and then back out for more fun.

take lots of pics for me, guys!

[mil thornton (GRNT)]

Why would he want Boars Butt and Carne asada :confused1 :dunno:. Paul, have you finally seen the light or is it that we are just such great cooks that you can't resist.
I will more than likely be out there Thursday nite. I don't know when Bret will show up. He has Fridays off but he's been being very lazy lately.
I have a new 3 burner stove and griddle ready for cookin on these trips now. we need to start looking into dutch oven cooking next.
We might not have some of the best looking rigs but we sure know how to eat right.
:D :party: :cheers: :clap: :confused1 :wave1:

[CRASH]

I think our gastric delights have turned him to the Dark Side.

Are you calling my rig ugly?

[Paul S]

Actually, I plan on bringing Cole (my dog), I'll give him my portion of boar & carne asada. I'll have Sushi as usual.
Andy, your junk is pretty ugly, but at least it's not an Ameba.
Paul

[Jes]

Okay, is it amiba, amoeba, ameoba, or ameba?
And, howmany of you know what we're talking about?!? :D

Jes

[Goatman]

So, we're talking about doing a real night run.....after dinner? How about Big Johnson, that's about the shortest trail out there. I was thinking about finding someone to run a trail with late afternoon, like 5:00, but now I don't want to miss the pig so we'll do a real night run. Better fix my cigarette adapter night work light. :D

I'm still figuring on Saturday that one group will run Wreaking Ball and one group will run Clawhammer, so we can meet at the top. We'll figure out when we get there who wants to run what.

[Paul S]

Every time I do a night run I say never again, but once again I'm in. If we run Big Johnson we should get back to camp before too late.
Paul

[Jes]

I might be riding along with someone if I don't have some rock lights on by then. Coming down Jackhammer last time at night was no easy task, I couldn't see anything. But then again, maybe that was a good thing? :D

Jes

[CRASH]

Night vision goggles.....better than rock lights, and you can spot hostile Iraqi's too!

CRASH

[Jason Jones]

I'll be coming along as well, I'm hoping for a free seat for the trail action, but I'll be out there early Sat morning and probably stay till Sunday as well.

[FarmerMatt]

We get to see the spineless wonder?!! Ooh I've got to be there to see that thing twist into a twizzler in front of our eye's. Big Johnson would be a neat night run, but coming down the backside of that sand hill could give a little verdigo at night. Maybe I'm just a little gun shy at down hills after the last down hill adventure.

PS You guys ever here an XJ light up 35's on pavement before. ;)

I guess that means the new motor is installed already? :) Nice to have a wife who wants more power!!!! :D

[Paul S]

Hey Matt, are you referring to the Ameba? Unfortunately you'll get to see it in ALL it's naked wonder, as I can't get it in the shop for paint before JV.

[CRASH]

Matt, when are you showing up?

Change of menu for Friday night. Looks like we are going to grill up some duck and goose breasts over an open fire.

CRASH

[FarmerMatt]

It depends on what time I can sneak out of here & if my wife feels good enough for me to go. I'm trying for around noon which will put me out there around 5-6. Don't worry about me though. If I'm there in time OK, if not than start without me.

Yes Paul I'm talking about your spineless single celled thing.

Yes Richard the motor is in & putting a smile on the wifes face.

Matt

[ROCKWGN]

I will be arriving at about 7:00 AM Friday morning, with my Jeep and buddy in tow. What should I bring for dinner?
