    Lost & Found... who left a chair at the campfire? I picked it up when I left RC. Fun fact, they turn off the air compressor after the park closes... :D


    I did. :doh: Evidently, you did not get my text. :shrug: Was / Wasn't there a "scroll" in one of the cup holders?
    Thanks for picking it up (if it's mine). :up:

    Trail report for Tom (sorry, I don't remember your board name) and I.


    We starting by following Stafford and his crew. But, when SlowPoke broke down and we were at the end to the pack there was another gentleman (Dave) who had busted his leaf spring center pin. So Tom and I took Dave back to the Pavilion. (He had run his jeep in the club comp the day before).


    From there Tom and I headed out with me leading. I was trying to decide if I want to find the group or run our own course... Suffice to say, we ran our own course.


    From the pavilion we took B to C to Pole Line to 1b to 2, saw a major stuck in the Mud Pit, and continue on 2 to crawler ridge. Took D to E to the South property. Took 25 to S to 22 to Lunch spot (is lunch spot an obstacle or a place to eat, we did not check it out). Followed the rest of S around and somewhere went through the Bowl. Continued to Lake Christy, nice viewing...nothing else. Then to Quarry. We were going to go down but, there was a crowd doing nothing but blocking the trail near the bottom. So we turned around and continued heading to the end of S and the boundary. We did the first half of Camel Back (someday, I'll walk the second half before trying it) and then went for the first half of Snake Bite. About 200 yard before exiting Snake Bite, Tom broke a bead on this front passenger tire while leaning passenger direction. You couldn't ask for a more perfect fix than what we went through. Lugs loosened, jacking up the vehicle to level it and it started to slid, from the drive side tire being on a rock. Stopped, ratchet strap to a tree and continued. Replaced with spare and were done in what seemed a half hour or less...back on the trail. Took E to a short cut to the West Property. Went down the Power Line and saw they 101 group giving a demonstration. Took Power Line to the bottom to 11 (now I loose track) to 11b? to H to J - H intersection. (Now I'm back on track) - Take the other 11 to 12 to J to the other 11 again to the intersection with a different 11 to 19a to 19c to 11 to 23 to 11b to H (or a loggers trail) to Tower Road to Pole Line to A to K to 3U to the parking lot and then the air hoses. Had my own air hose so, there was a hook up and we used it. I suppose we started around 10 and quit around 3, no lunch stop, just stops after each blue trail or semi-rough greens.


    As you may know me...vvvvveeeerrrrryyyy ssssllllooooowwwww on the rocks. Tom seemed to be fine with that and we had a respectable distance between vehicles while doing the obstacles (rocks).


    GREAT DAY :) :) :)

  • Fabric dying doors

    Quote from Slimer


    I think CJ8 died his doors.


    Yes, I did.
    Got the paint from PepBoys. I went from original nutmeg to denim black, worked pretty well. I don't recall the paint brand though, but I should add a touch up coating soon.
    I'll see if I can find any pictures.

  • Delaware Mud Run 2015 Signups

    My rookie year and it was awesome. Every muscle I know of and don't know of were aching Monday but, it was like having had a good work out session.
    Looking forward to next year & will be better prepared for tailgating.
    All my mishaps were planned. :mrgreen:

    Two very very important mud run things...#1 if you don't have a shirt from last year I need to know what size and what name you want on the back asap. I think shirts have been about $12 in previous years but may change. #2 if you haven't accepted the email invite from your captain to be on the team that needs to be done today if you want a free tshirt from them.


    If I didn't run last year, why would I want a shirt?
