Labor Day Weekend At Liberty Sep 2007
I hope that everyone agrees that it was a good weekend. The weather was warm enough for shorts, but not so bad that I had to go sit in the creek to get cool. The camp ground was pretty full ,but Gary was able to get there Thursday night and stake out a spot big enough for all of the Tamers to circle the wagons.

All and all I would have to say that it was a fun day (maniacal laugh here) and I would not have missed it for just about anything.

Fun Day at Reiter Trails with the North West Wheelers Jun 2007
The day started early with me waking up to fix my Jeep. I had suffered massive failure of my rear upper control arm mounts on the frame. Thus ensuing an all night work session at Tommybilt Fab getting the mounts replaced (Thanks Tom!!!!). Anywho, I arrived in the parking area at about 10am. Cody was there with some brake issues on his TLC. We bled the brakes and got him a little pedal. But it still wasn’t up to snuff.

Elbe Rescue Feb 2007
The longest rescue mission in the history of me.
(A lesson Learned)
On Monday, the 19th of February, I woke up and checked the mass of online forums as I usually do.

Well, I checked the good old Northwest Wheelers board and saw that some folks needed a rescue out at the Elbe Hills ORV area on the Busy Wild of all trails. Continue reading “Elbe Rescue Feb 2007”
Elbe In January Jan 2007
The day started bright and early, I loaded up the Jeep and headed out to Elbe Hills ORV park. The drive there was rather uneventful for me, but I heard others had some problems. I guess Dirtball successfully parked his Jeep in the back of the Dodge when he slid due to some black ice. Ask him for further details on his precision driving.
