SoCal Fest photos

[SanDiegoXJ]

First off, let me say thanks to everyone that put this together. I know there were a lot more folks involved than I know of, but I did want to extend a special thanx to Josh for his organizational and leadership skills, Bonnie for her fabulous cooking, Johnny for his magnificent trail guiding, Rich for providing the shirts again, and Rick for his, well, I guess his drunken banter to keep folks entertained. =) I had a fabulous time, and the shirts turned out great again this year.

Here are the photos I got from the run to Gold Mountain led by Johnny.

Here are the photos from John Bull following the Gold Mountain run.

(Unfortunately I ended up being the spotter again by some foolish reasoning and was unable to get any photos of the rock garden at the beginning.)

John Bull continued...

Now, I thought it would be pointless to take a picture of the tailgate of Johnny's newly fixed up MJ

Unfortunately, after the events of later that evening, Johnny, you now have something to remember it by. =(

(sorry but I forgot who has the gray XJ with the single light on the bumper)

[johnnyc]

Mike, here's a couple ones you might be interested in.

A few of us went on a Deep Creek night run. And long story short, I backed into Mike (SanDiegoXJ) and dented up my tailgate. There were three dents, this one being the worst.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/xjohnnyc/Comanche/IMG_1596.jpg

But this is how it looks NOW.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/xjohnnyc/Comanche/IMG_1599.jpg

On the way home, I stopped by the Millikan yard. And the LAST truck in the LAST row of the Small Truck section was a longbed MJ. And it was gray to boot.

I snagged the tailgate, cleaned it up a bit and put it on. Just like new. So there's no need to think about it any more, Mike. But thanks.

:cheers:

[JESSE A]

lol i hope you guys had fun! i should have gone

[SanDiegoXJ]

I'm stoked you got that tailgate, Johnny (now I can cancel my bids on ebay! =D) And next time I'll have headlights that don't blind ya ta boot!

And yeah, you would have had a blast if you came. Other than a bit of poor judgement on my part, it was a pretty fun night. =)

[XJCoPilotH]

Good meeting everyone, had a great time taking pictures of you all. Johnny, Slim...Hope to hit the trails with you guys soon. Next time I will have to tag along in the LJ...

Here are a bunch of pics. Deep Creek and Gold Mnt. the 1st day, John Bull the 2nd.

Yep! Great pics! How'd the H1's do? Atleast they werent running street tires. did Lysik get wild on the waterfall at Deep Creek?

[XJCoPilotH]

The tan H1 got stuck on the face and winched up, that scared most the other ones to go through/over the bypass. The last guy went up the face with not too much of a problem. Those things are just crazy wide, like driving a house down that trail. About a quarter mile up trail, we found them all stopped with one broken half-shaft in the bunch.

Not too familiar with the names/logins yet, but a few got all squirly on the waterfall. I think everyone had a great time!

[JESSE A]

deep creel looks sweet! thats where im going next time.

[SlimsXJ]

Nice pics Heath!!!!!!It was nice meeting you and Danny :wave1:

[markw]

Anyone get pictures of the gold full sized Dodge 1500 that I guess didn't turn around? I heard they took about an hour to drag/lift/winch him through the rock garden on John Bull. We ran into him part way through John Bull and recommended they turned back, evidently they must've thought they'd been through the toughest part. :) The truck was probably destroyed by the end, it had some good rocker damage when we came across him on Saturday.

The whole truck was like this. It started the day new.

Anyone want to host the vid? Photobucket won't accept it since it's 160MB- they only take up to 100MB
