Swamp Lake 8/7/08 Trip Report

[SharkXJ]

We left camp around 9:15 and got to Dinkey around 1:30. Jack had a pretty good flop that took a little while to straighten out. And I had a tough time getting through the V-Notch... Got home last night at about 6:00.

I had an awesome time. Great to see everyone and great wheelin'.

I'll have some pix later tonight or tomorrow.

The second group made it out safe and sound. Where did the flop happen? I will post some of my pics after work.

Good to hear :-)

The flop was about 25 yards after the V-Notch as you came down the little hill. Something happened with his steering and he went right up on the big rock. I took a few pix and should have them up later tonight.

Anyone into geocaching?:

[badgeye]

You would not believe the amount of trouble I am having posting those geocaches to Geocaching.com. They want me to remove all mention of NAXJA.org, apparently we are trying to promote an agenda.

[Letterman]

At least it was not a NAMBLA Geocache. :gag:

[badgeye]

NAMBLA? I had to look that up. How did you know about that??

If you have to ask than you don't really want to know.
