[kramme]

Hi all Yes i am late to the game . Been enjoying camping LOL. Yes still plan on doing it. check back for information .

Cool you will be doing it! Wonderful you are out camping, still a ways off anyway. I am going to Oregon myself tomorrow for a few weeks to camp. Nothing better than the outdoors!


Just one question -
If you have a idea of a date that will help a few folks so they can ask for time off to add to the days needed for the rally.
Would this be just a day like Thurs and arrive Fri at the Rally or ?

Hi Craig,

That's the curse of the working class...Not having enough time to play. though I forget that retired you NEED to keep working so that I can get my social security. as long as it lasts. Panamint is probably more fun for a diehard Jeep guy as you to visit old buildings and mine sites. All we do at Ocotillo is party and visit. .

Well I suppose some exercise their 4WD on the sand.

I copied this from last year . Changed the date but every elsething is the same .We realy had a good time last year so try to make it .

I have a friend who is very interested in buying a four wheel camper. She would like to come down to the rally so she can check them out. Is that allowed ?

 

[firemen7]

Trained, Rested & Ready! KKug, I just fired off an email to you regarding the RSVP.

 

[cbadbox]

Just got my ticket and look forward to traveling with Ken and others on the pre-galley trip. Appreciate Ken and the FWC folks for putting all this together.

Oh yeah, great way to see a variety of rigs. We had a few of those at the first rally I attended.

 

[knoxswift]

I'm not sure I can make the 4x4 trip prior this year...I'll have to RSVP last minute...see if I can get off work.

I'm trying to get someone to cover me at work, we'll see how it works out. Thanks!

 

[RC Pilot Jim]

TodHom,

Yes of course its allowed. Four Wheel brings 3 or 4 models anyone can look at, plus its an opportunity for the visitors to talk with the owners.
We've had ours for over 7 years. Even though its just an improved shell model we love it. And use it a lot ...except for this year. Lots of family interruptions took precedence.

There is always next year.

 

[kkug]

The Rally is just a few weeks away. Are we getting excited ?

[Stan@FourWheel]

We’re loading out tomorrow.

Leaving Thursday AM

 

[kkug]

A little bit of rain today should make for no dust this weekend. We have about Five for the pre rally. See you soon.

 

[craig333]

Doctor appt tomorrow so no go for me. Have fun!

 

[knoxswift]

I just got bad news and will no longer be able to attend. I wonder if I could give my ticket to someone?

 

[RC Pilot Jim]

33 rigs attended. Everyone seemed to have a good time even though the weather on Saturday was rainy and colder than Jim likes it. Food was excellent as always with a catered meal on Friday and spaghetti on Saturday.

Bob Wohlers did a clinic on Saturday and Ken led a trail ride on Saturday and pre-trail ride on Thursday before the rally..
