that might cover it...

my portion that is...

My version of a real cookout is burying an entire cow in a pit...

My cookouts are just pitiful in comparison to the family's

:D

[Rev Den]

Invite was posted for all to see, directions were good enough for everyone else, as far as returning on a tow truck.....depends on what you run. In your case you would have been on green....no problems.

there is your open invite

I was there on my DAILY DRIVEN XJ as was most of the people there

the location was in the above thread as well... which is a STICKY in this thread...


just giving you some chit - whatever man...

[BIG-G]

Ooooh, ok. I didnt realize it was an open invite to all NAXJA members! I havent started reading up yet on the events and all because i would truthfully like to have some more equiptment and TIME!! Also have friends that wanna go so it has to fit into everyones schedule and then take what looks to be anywhere from 8 to 12 hour trip one way. Dont worry, i will make an event by atleast summertime, give or take.

[Lawn Cher']

I'm a spice freak

That spot, over there is where I triped over a Lawn Cher'.
Now show me how to get out of here before it gets dark.

[Lawn Cher']

Look over there at that exo-caged rig... I think it has 8" of bump stop! I wonder if they can see that in Arizona?

[LBEXJ]

"And Sweetie Punkin ... over there is where people used to throw all their leaves and shit". "Isn't that cool?"

... or ...

"I don't care what Rev says ... we need to go that way!"
