We had a very good sized group of Timber Tamers show up at the annual Christmas party. As a nice seasonal touch – it started snowing just before the party started and kept up all evening. Part way through the festivities, it was announced that it was snowing like crazy. When the question was called in anyone was concerned – the response was a resounding, “NO!” Continue reading “Christmas Party Dec 2008”
Christmas Tree Run Dec 2008
All in all it was a good run. There was not much snow to speak of this year so some people did not bring there trail rigs. Tom was one of them and paid for it by getting his dually stuck in a ditch. No worries as Carl gave him a tug with the Grand Cherokee and got him out. Continue reading “Christmas Tree Run Dec 2008”
Dashing Through The Snow on a Sleigh Ride Nov 2008
For many years now, those of us located on the west side of the Cascades start to despair of dreaming of a wet Christmas that we usually have, and head east to find a little more of a white Christmas. This year was no exception – well – at least when the Leavenworth sleigh ride was conceived. I think it was still November when the call came out to again head to Leavenworth for a weekend of frolic in this Christmasy town, looking for beer, brats, shopping, and a ride through the woods on a sleigh pulled by not 8 tiny reindeer – but a couple of big draft horses instead. Continue reading “Dashing Through The Snow on a Sleigh Ride Nov 2008”

Redeye Run Nov 2008
Attendees : Mike G. CJ5, ScramblerMike, Mike J. XJ, Samurai Steve, Jess R. CJ5
We all met at the Safeway parking lot as scheduled. We headed out for the FS70 to unload and get to the trail head around 8:30pm. Trail conditions were good, traction wasn’t an issue as there wasn’t any snow. We reached the top of the first hill climb in record time without any issues. Arrived at the old Jamboree camp site around midnight, set up camp and had a small fire and swapped stories of past Red Eyes. We did see a little snow in the shadows along the trail. Continue reading “Redeye Run Nov 2008”

Team Trophy Challenge Washington Oct 2008
Team Trophy Challenge Washington (TTCW) is based on a similar event held in Oregon and in which several of the club members has previously participated. This event challenges participants to navigate a course using a tulip map and then along the way perform several tasks. In another stage of the competition the participants are challenged to navigate a course and find markers in specific locations which are hidden. It is a tough competition but everyone has a lot of fun participating and the Tamers have a lot of fun volunteering to help put the event on.

What can I say it was Operation Shore Patrol. There were less people this year because of the economy but we still managed to take a lot of garbage and refuse off the beaches. The Tamers put on a steak dinner once again and I did not hear any complaints so we must have done ok. Continue reading “Operation Shore Patrol Sep 2008”
