PA Jeeps July 20 & 21

Lisa and I are headed up Friday and staying at the luxurious Super 8.

Tim and I will be up on Sat. We will stop by camp DEJA and hang out. I also have to spend some time at the TATAS tent.

We (TnGent & I) are going to be there and can't wait!!! Baring nothing happens with my treatments. Where do we camp and does that cost anything?

I hope to get to the "fair grounds" around 2:00 PM Friday and set up camp. It cost $20 (in the past) a night. No open fires allowed and picnic table are not present. Showers cost $.50 for about 15 min.. For an additional cost they do have water and electric hook up. I will be bringing some cooking gear.
I preregistered in February.

See you there.

Can we share a site? Electric would be nice but not necessary

I couldn't get anybody to take my shift on Saturday, so I am thinking about just going up for Sunday. Anybody else driving up Sunday morning?

I made a last minute decision to head to the show tomorrow. See you guys there.

[size=1em]I thought the Show was very good this year. Sorry Percy couldn't be there in person but he was in spirit. [/size]
[size=1em]As far as I recall, only two DEJA members were entered in the Show and Shine. Results: Brian took first in his Liberty class and I took second in my class (unlimited CJ6, CJ8, and Comanche). [/size]

[size=1em]Can you believe it, at a Show and Shine, there is trail damage?? Why?? Because they had an obstacle course! Brian did the course very well; kids laughing and screaming like crazy in the passenger seats! I did well in the regular runs; then I decided to try the big rocks. There were two big rock courses. Obviously, I had to air down per the rules. In my attempts to not stall out running the rocks as I have in the past, I adjusted my throttle a little bit too high the first time. I ran the first course too fast and too bouncy, but believe I made it out safely. Then, Brian tells me, since you're aired down, run the other course (peer pressure sucks!!); so yes, I went for it. I readjusted the throttle, ran the regular course, then went for the rocks. I did very well until near the end when the rocks were bigger than I thought. The spotter guided me the last few rocks. The last major rock had what I thought was a three foot drop for the front tire; thus bowing the side rail. Second course done. [/size]
[size=1em]At a later time, I texted Jodie to see if anyone wanted to ride in the Jeep with me for the last run. Jodie volunteered (stupid move??). Regular course went well; rocky course was very rocky near the end! I'll Let Jodie tell you that story! [/size]

Hence, the trail damage. 1.) Driver's side front broken U-joint. 2.) Thanks to Brad (Ruquik) for noticing driver's side front spring mount was totally shattered. Therefore, visited vendor, got the part, and made it home. Now to get ready for Anthracite.

A ton of pics from this weekend. Great time. Thanks to Glen for the helping me put up the tent Friday night ahead of the windstorm. Here is a teaser of the pics from the show.

Glenn I know all about broken spring hangers. I see you decided to do the big rocks anyway, I would have stayed if I knew you were going to do them. Glad everything worked out and your Jeep is ok, see you next weekend.

I ran them on Sunday. Usually smoother then Saturday.
