The "What I learned at Winterfest" Thread

You don't have to be locked or geared to have a good time
NAXJA and the MWC are some of the best people you'll meet
Pulling a camper through big hills on a stock 3.55 geared axle on 33s isn't fun
That after seeing all the other rigs my heep needs some work!
Syrup and cooking spray are not the same.....................
If your standing too close to the fire when you throw wood in you WILL burn all the hair on your face...... :anon:
And the MOBI-DOG is amazing

Thought about it but since you said it takes special bags of cheez i figured it wasn't worth stealing :D
 
I need to add:

- Having the President of BLAXJA on-site is really a privilege.

- JJ is one cool dude for putting up with so much crap and dealing it out at the same time.

- GTI's will rev like an F1 car....

Big 'sell the GTI for a couple XJ's' Hank
 
Long arms bring the win.
Girls wheeling their significant other's rigs is getting more popular, and I dig that.
Bob Loose will go out of his own way to get stuck.
Bob Loose refers to himself in the third person as "BOB F****N LOOSE!"
Detroit is best in form in the axle of a Jeep and not in Michigan.
I can crawl down hill now.
Cutlery may be necessary for jello shots.
I hate wind.
I love turkey.
Chocolate covered bacon is goood!
There are people still out there without internet.
Trucker light communication is still used.
Pulling the Jeep with the camper apparently qualifies me for trucker light communication.
The camper will now be referred to as "Big'nuf" henceforth.
Big'nuf my be making another appearance next year.
I will need more money for gas.
Those guys from Mass are crazy.
Ken's brother understands my sarcasm better than Ken while they are drunk.
Stilts + booze = funny!
Nate will hold another dude's hand.
 
I'm getting too old to drink beer for dinner, which leads to...
Bring an alarm clock - taking a nap before the potluck may result in a limited menu when you wake up after everyone else is done.
Sawdust is fun, even if you forget to say abracadabra.
 
I learned if you mention that you need a beer in front of 150 people, you will certainly get more than you asked for. Which in my mind is great!

If you can read the ticket numbers, you need more beer, right? Maybe next time you could draw one of my numbers?
 
I learned...

No matter how much "Rider" experience you have, you still wont always pick the right line.
Without Cheeseman at WF you will think you are seeing him/his jeep everywhere.
Having an RV/Trailer combo makes WF weather tolerable.
Don't always follow "BOB F'N LOOSE" (even if he's the trail leader)
Fireball keeps you warm on the cold nights.
Bringing a 8 month old to WF isn't as difficult as you would think it is.
I can take pictures no matter what the elements throw at me.
Molly has a southern accent when she is drinking.
What Blackberry Brandy tastes like.

Overall... Winterfest is still worth waiting all year for... Can't wait for 2013!
 
-free camping rules!
-according to dan, me and jim (beergoggles) look alike.
-over the years i have made some really good friends through this event.
-10 months or 10yrs it doesnt matter. the trash talking, laughs and good times
pick right up where they left off.
-brian ho can wheel.

thank you to everyone for yet another great winterfest!
 
I also learned what Atl-Atl's name means. Contrary to popular conception, it is not Atlanta-Atlanta.

Atl-atl, the weapon?
 
Yeah. That's it. What, did you Google it?
 
Finally some time to sit down and add what I learned.

1. The MOBI was awesome. Should've bought a trailer like this a long time ago.
2. MOBI hotdogs do not taste as good coming up as they did going down.
3. Puking the second night ever spent in the newtoyou trailer doesn't impress your wife.
4. Hay/Straw still kicks butt after a rain storm.
5. I finally did enough damage to the popcan buggy that I need to work on it.
6. Taking only one Jeep makes for a slightly less stressful trip.
7. Even one night with Tyler is better than no nights.
8. HoBag needs something to camp in.
9. I'm glad to go another year without seeing a tornado.
10. I did not realize how much was involved with making the potluck a sucess.
11. A potluck can be called a carry in, but not many people know that.
12. BLAXJA and sideshow are a scary combo.
13. Sideshow and stilts are a scary combo.
14. Year old thawed out frozen wedding cake makes great drunk food!
15. There were more bottles than I have seen in a while passed at the campfire.
16. Couches still burn good.
17. Bob "XXXXING" Loose
18. Folks will drive for hours to wheel in an abandon quarry.
