Dateline – ELBE
The Most recent Elbe Work Party – by the numbers.

6 (or so) – different areas that received our attention
3 – flat trailer tires thanks to the very sharp rocks on the 92 road that penetrated them
2 – loaders loading 2 trucks so we didn’t have to haul rock by hand

Hangover Run Jan 2010
Ah – not only a New Year, but also a reminder of the passage of years. The Hangover Run in years previous used to be attributed to imprudence of how much and what types of alcohol had been imbibed the previous night. Now – for at least some of us who’ve been around the club for more than a few years – hangover is more a measure of how much and the types of food we’ve partaken over the holidays. When we say it’s hard to get into our rigs – it is literally hard to get up into our rigs.

Christmas Tree Run Dec 2009
One more Tamer tree run for the books. John, Terry and I started off the morning at the Everett Mall with a donation to NW Harvest. As luck would have it I drove up to make the presentation of the $772 raised and King 5 was doing a live feed. I then got to make the donation on camera live and show that I have no on camera talent what so ever. Continue reading “Christmas Tree Run Dec 2009”

Time for some more work on the adopted Sunrise Trail at the Elbe ORV park. Mike, Claire, Amy, Terry, Mark, Greg, Shaun, and myself (Rudi) were all on hand to effect some repairs were needed and assess the over all health of the trail. There was a little snow on the ground which had fallen during the week but it was fast melting and was not really a concern. Once we were all assembled everyone except for Mark and I ran up the trail to check it out. Mark and I ran up the road with my Jeep and trailer as we knew there was going to be some work to do in the rock section. Continue reading “Elbe Work Party Nov 2009”

Everyone pitched in and got them back on the road in record time so that they could finish the event.

Tamer Picnic Aug 2009
So the day started a little early for me as my worrying about making sure the Tamers had a nice spot for the picnic got me to the park at 7am. Since I had some time I broke out the laptop and started working on some items for an upcoming Tamer event. 90 minutes later Ann T showed up and I put the laptop away in favor of talking with Ann about the Tamers and wheeling.
