NAXJA IC JULY RUN----Cub River July 16-17th UPDATED!

[XJEEPER]

OK Folks, I want to get this on everyones radar so we can plan for it and get a good turnout. We will also hold our July chapter meeting on Saturday so all the more reason to come, right?

We're going up to the Cub River area, located North of Logan, Utah. Jerry Harrison knows the area well and will be leading us on this run, Jerry also has a "cabin" up the Cub River with a small camping area and a larger campground just up the road.

Get it on your calender and stay tuned here for an update this week with more details,
I know you have a lot of questions like....... where's the map, camp site options, who's bringing stuff for Smores, can I fish there, is the Cub River inhabited by real live bears, what's the trail difficulty, is it true that Jimmy Hoffa had a summer home in nearby Franklin, ID?..............hold onto them for a few days and they'll prolly get answered with the update!

If Jimmy Hoffa's makin' the smores, I don't wanna go...

[ACE]

Any updates? I may be able to make this one.

[poomba]

Yeah, I need details, so I can wrestle some leave..same as last time, friday being the 'set up the tents and murder a few marshmellows, and saturday trails..or..what? Not to mention a step by step, 'how the hell do I get there leaving a trail of parts' map. Gives me a weekend to get the radiator and..um, stuff back in there.

[Popeye]

jon if i get my junk fixed and beat some leave out of the slave drivers, i'll follow your parts trail there

[XJEEPER]

Just talked to Jerry, who was still traveling homeward......... I will be getting an update on the July run posted up ASAP......stay tuned.

[cyka]

Whats the requirements for a run like this? I live out in Grantsville and would love a good run and some camping. My Xj isn't quite as built as most but I love off roading. Its not stock, but not hardcore, how serious are the trails you usually run on these trips? I'm not a full Naxja member yet, I'm planning on joining, and will right away if I need too.

Come on out! You don't have to be a member to come on these runs. For a run like this you don't need a really built rig. I would imagine a stock XJ will traverse most areas. There are quite a few of us in the "not stock but not hardcore" category but we have a lot of fun anyway. Stay tuned for updates on the run and hope to see ya out there.

Looks like you'll fit right in with our chapter, so come on out and meet everyone!
Hope to see you next weekend.

[XJEEPER]

Working on the "Most posts to self per thread" record........how about a headcount on who's coming on the run this weekend. I'll be there with Racin' Mason........

[ACE]

I should be there with the family this time. I think we will probably leave home just after lunch on Friday and probably be there around 3 or 4 pm to set up camp. Use the rest of the evening to do some exploring or something.

[Tom R.]

I plan to be there, but won't arrive until late since I have to work.

Tom

[poomba]

Got the radiator and tranny cooler in..depends on what falls off this week, but I should be there, I got friday night off. I'll drive up with one eye open, and rest the other one :P.

[xjblue]

I'm planning on driving up after work Friday.

[poomba]

(part of this is in another thread, but figured I'd toss it here) Popeye (mostly Popeye) and I got the radiator (3 row) and tranny cooler installed saturday, so that's done. I had a header/new exhaust (old cat still good), put in. And front and rear extended bumpstops are in, now, too. and I got the front bar pin eleminators in. The shock was flapping in the breeze, when some idjit who will remain nameless launched it off that lil hill coming down into our campsite last month..cough..was kinda fun, though. Bought a springbar tent, since I looked like I was hang-gliding trying to put up the 6 man tent by myself until Joe and his wife took pity on me, and staked my foot to the turf using my shoelaces. Got a rubber mallet too. Told the girl at Kirkham's, it was for tent stakes, cuz, she didn't know about the rabid badgers we ran into, last time. I'm pretty sure the springbar tent is like something out of the Jetson's..push a button and poof, it's up. So, ya'll might wanna stand back when I try that..might put an eye out or something. My temp gauge is working again. Thought it was the sensor, but was the ground wire being too close to it, pegged it over 310. Moved it, and she stays at 208, which is fine. Still have a lot to do..problem is, I don't even know half of what's still ahead..don't tell me, I can't afford Prozac :P hasta
But I'll be there friday night, we'll have fun.

[JEEPZZ]

The more the merrier! And if you're camping, just don't stay downwind of poomba.... if you know what I mean. :passgas: :D

[TRNDRVR]

Okay, seeing that I no longer have any axles under my rig anymore, I won't be doing any trail driving.
But for dinner Saturday night, is anybody else going to have any kids running around? I have a 2 and 4 year old girls.
If I'm home Saturday evening, I wanted to come up in the afternoon and join everybody for dinner. Also, if I do come up, I'll bring some tri-tip to cook up. Guaranteed I'll be everybody's hero.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Dan.

Hey, I showered...well, it rained, that should count. But, since you brought it up, I'll see if Albertson's sells a 55 gallon drum of baked beans, and you..no pun intended, get to be tailgunner on ALLLL the trails :P
I honestly don't know what I'll bring. Don't have time to prepare anything, and my cooking in the great outdoors skills are MIA, sooo, it'll be a surprise, even to me.

Yah, Dan's rig is looking a little silly up on jackstands but he'll soon be rolling on full width..........hope you can make it up with the fam on Saturday afternoon, my mouth is watering for deliciously grilled tri-tip beef.........mmmmmmm.

:chef: :spam: :gag: :puke:

[TRNDRVR]

Meat's been bought. :D
Some testimonials;

The tri-tip was to die for, cut it with a plastic butter knife. :lickout:
Trndrvr: compliments to the creature of all that is good mmmmmmmmmmm :worship:
sorry for the kiss ass :DYes, the marinade was very good... kudos. The tri tip was darned good. ;)
GlennYeah, Dan has a great tri tip marinade recipe if anyone's up for grilling some.......it was very good when we had it a couple months ago in JV. :chef: Dan.

[Tom R.]

Dan,

Sorry I didn't make it up to your place the other night. A few other things I had on my do-to list got left undone as well. I try to do too much.

Anyway, now that I've made a feeble atempt to kiss a little :moon: , bring some extra tri-tip and I'll bring a little extra cash or strong :cheers: for ya.

Tom

[Big Bear]

Well, the wife and I are going to try and make it up Sat. morning. I will be trying to get my Jeep finished up tomorrow. If I don't get it ready in time we may still come up in the white XJ. It is very capable and has actually grown a little. Hope to to see you all there.

TomBeer's good for me. Don't worry about me bringing extra, I think I got about 5 pounds of meat. Should be enough for a taste for everybody.
Keeping my fingers crossed I don't have to work,
Dan.

Dan.

So, what's everyone else gonna have? Er, I mean, nod..should be plenty!
I'm gonna grab about 2 hours sleep, pack, leave a few things I'll desperately need later on, and wander on up. Bring the kids, we'll find something fer 'em to do. Last month, I had a 5 year old show me beaver nests. I wasn't aware beavers had nests, but I got set straight on that, at least. I don't have much hair, but what I did have turned grey, trying to keep a 5 year old and a 3 year old out of the creek..they couldn't have drowned if they'd tried, but it still pushed every 'mother hen' button I have. Danger Will Robinson, Danger!
Took me 44 years to learn there's something to that family thing...

[XJEEPER]

Be good to see you up there Mike, the white XJ should do just fine so forget fixing the red one, just get there!

[ACE]

Sounds like you're ready to go. :sunshine:
Oh, I'll be bringing potato salad for the Saturday evening shindig so ya'll have to think of something else. :laugh3:
I'll be bringing corn on the cob instead. Should have plenty for everyone!
I'll be leaving in a few hours here. Hope I don't get lost finding Jerry's place! See ya'll there!

I forgot what CB channel we'll be using. I'll be on 19 on the way out there.

[Geepfreak]

Have a great time Guys, wish we could make it. :tears:
Now that my son is living with me(14yrs), life is a little more complicated.

[cyka]

Aye wish I could make it also, but I got to work Friday night and Saturday night :( Hopefully next month

[Tom R.]

I forgot what CB channel we'll be using. I'll be on 19 on the way out there.
I think we're normally on Ch 4. I had to work today and don't know what time they're gonna let us go.....probably late. So looks like I might be driving in the dark. For anyone going, please set your CB to Ch 4 so I can contact you should I get lost. Thanks,

Tom

[Big Bear]

Looks like if we make it up it will be for the dinner and maybe a night of camping. I am working on three Jeeps now and just won't have one done by morning. :mad:

[JeeperG]

3 Jeeps????? What the hell you got going on besides Big RED?

jeeperg

[Big Bear]

The white one the red one and I have had Bryon's Jeep over this week working on it. I really wanted to go on this run so we could get these things tested before we do the Rubicon. Oh well mabey next weekend we can do some wheelin. :looney:

[XJEEPER]

Just got the trail dust washed out of my ears.....what the waterfight in the Cub River didn't get....... thanks again to Jerry and Carol Harrison for hosting this run from their campground.

We had 10 rigs make it and lots of family/friends to hang out with. Dan and Kristin Frazier drove up this afternoon with their kids and treated us to some excellent marinated tri-tip beef that was awesome! Thanks again, Dan.

I've got the pictures downloaded......but my bed is calling, so you'll have to wait till tomorrow.........didn't use 4wd once.......and had a great time!

Gnight

Regarding Dan's tri-tip: "It's awesome!"

Mucho thanks to our hosts, Jerry and Carol.......great people and a wonderful campsite on the river's edge.

Tom

[ACE]

Was a great time. Jerry and Carrol were great hosts and their family made for good company as well. My girls had a good time and wished they could have stayed longer.
And for those who were there, I am no longer in the doghouse, a nice bouquet of flowers and an okay to use the Nordstrom card was all it took to get the wife happy.

Exactly. Wish you could have made it. Nice scenery and a good time.

[brent]
