See you there!

Wish I could, but with going to the NAC M&G tomorrow, I'll be relaxing at home and clearing some things there.

Besides, will they let you into Wharton with the fire?

I was just thinking that. The smoke was soo bad in Hammonton Friday morning that traffic on RT30 was moving around 10mph. Honestly, you could not see from one dotted line to the other. Hopefully they will get this totally under control so we can head out.

I drove in Friday from Atco through the pines and did not find roadblocks.
Everyone swears the event will go on as scheduled.

[jerseyjeep01]

Well, I'll be there. Where in Jersey are you from?

[dennis461]

Im in Atco.

Hopefully no one will say anything about me missing my muffler. My new one hasn't come in yet and I don't want to miss it.

Last I heard, the fire wasn't even fully contained. Something like 70% contained. We are getting some serious rain now so I'm sure that's helping. Thursday night we had so much smoke here it was insane. Either way I'm not making it - having some difficulty w/ 4wheel. Posted my problems and some suggested checking my linkage so that's what I'm doing tomorrow.

Hey JerseyJeep, that's a sweet lookin ride. Cops give you any shite about those tires hanging out like that? I didn't really want to go the Bushwacker route but I pretty much had to just to keep me legal.

[jerseyjeep01]

Nah, cops arent a problem. I've got a few buddies that are cops and I'm going to become one.

[jerseyjeep01]

Forgot to add.... I saw a guy in an early model XJ on swampers today at the BP station in Atco who said it is still going on as scheduled.

[jerseyjeep01]

Good turnout today! Hey Dennis, looks like you parked next to me but I didn't get a chance to meet you. I'll have pics up later tonight.

[jerseyjeep01]

OK, got some of the pics on photobucket. I have alot, I'll show a few.
