Actually, we're still at five! Just spoke with Rugbyduck and he'll definitely be coming, as will I. You (1BADJK) and jwetzl will be there and I got an e-mail from tradewindjk who'll be in Bend starting Weds and is planning on being there.

A couple of JK's that won't this time: Rupedog & EIGHTball... Sorry guys! Hope to see you next time! I'm sure this is just the 1st of many runs.

Hi Jay,

I know we just spoke, but again wanted to wish you and your family my condolences. Sorry you can't make it, but I'm sure everyone agrees that family comes first. There will be other runs and I look forward to meeting up with you another time.

-Fred ('07JK Fan)

Jay,

Sorry to here of your loss, my condolences to you and your family. I was looking forward in seeing your JK, perhaps next time. While we are on the trail this weekend, we can start planning for another trip real soon.

Take care.... Jim

Default Almost time...

Hey everybody,

Just a short post before I go to bed... Met up with Rugbyduck today. Dang, man! That is one sweet JK! Must say that I have a little Jeep envy now!

Picked up my replacement bumper from him. Thanks! Got it installed and finished packing the Jeep for this weekend's trip.

We're down to 4.

As it stands now, we have the following for this run:

Me: '07JK Fan
Rugbyduck
tradewindjk
jwetzl

One other thing to consider:

Temperature gradient: the long range forecast (last I checked) is that it should be sunny, mid 70's-80's during the day. It will be cold at night though... Temps are expected to be in the 35-37F range, so come prepared. Warm clothes, etc...

Will post a recap on meeting place & the "plan" tomorrow night. Hope to see you there!

Sorry to hear about everyones losses. Fred has been keeping me up to date on the trip. Mrs. Rupedog and I have you in our prayers.
For those that are going have a great time and take lots of pics. So I can see what I'm missing. Watch out for Fred, he is pretty wild and crazy. Like to run around in the middle of the night nude and scream uncontrolably. Handcuffs and leg irons and a large tree will take care of this slight problem. Be safe and have a great time. later Rupedog

Can you say "Sasquatch sighting"!!!

Update: Here's a little disturbing image for ye! Okay, it's not me, but found it funny... Just a little something I found on the web. I'm much more modest than this particular "Sasquatch"...

No kidding. I'm going down with top on... back part anyway, if I can figure out a way to store the front panels. I'm running out of room. Maybe we can drop the tops Saturday morning at camp?
