HaHa . . . I forgot about all the weebling and wobbling we did . . . I think I'm just about recovered from the brain injury I suffered from after last year's trip. :DQuote:

I'm up for blueberry pancakes . . . or apple/walnut. Blueberries may be in season (I forget when they come into season exactly) which would be wicked good.Quote:

Incidentally Hiram I probably won't bring my trailer or ATV since to be honest I don't feel like hauling around a trailer. I'm also planning on heading up on Friday . . . although I may tent out at another place depending on where I am when it starts to get dark. I'll be bringing some additional give-aways and wood for the campfire . . . I cut down some more trees today (dead ones . . . but don't worry I'm not bringing all of the wood that I cut up today to the event.) I also stopped by this evening to see you guys and take you out for ice cream, but no one was home (insert joke here_____.)
So anyways, what time are we meeting on Saturday morning. I mean there's a place with the posted coords for the event, but no time . . . also are you planning on doing that thing that you said you were thinking about doing (hint: the log book deal.)
It is still looking iffy for me. My truck did not get fixed and everyone else is going up Friday night and Mike is still working on his truck it looks like.
Ya just gotta have faith Rick . . . well that and more friends apparently. ;) :D So how about it . . . anyone out there want to help out Rick . . . even if you don't have a 4WD vehicle if you can get there you'll be able to get a ride from someone that does. . . .Quote:

Just bring some spare parts like Hiram does and you should be all good to go. ;) :DQuote:

Ha ha--spare we have, though an unexpected bout of death wobble may require a spare pair of skivvies.Quote:

Any looseness/wear in front end components can cause this, as can a bad alignment. In my case, all the front end parts are new, but the alignment (caster and toe) were WAY off, allowing the vibrations to start after hitting a small bump at around 45 MPH or so.
Death Wobble That is funny, well not really. Team Teebow 1's (TOM) truck had a bout of that Memorial Day Weekend. It is all fixed now. Pretty scary when you are traveling behind a Death Wobble vehicle. Not to mention Team Teebow 3 was driving the truck at the time. He has his permit. YIKES!!
Myself and 1manteam will not be headed your way if the forecast holds true, and they call for rain on Saturday. Too far to go and just get wet. :(
I'm leaving Friday morning and going the round-about way to get there . . . depending on where I end up I may roll in sometime that evening and meet up with you guys (Aaron and Steph should be coming that evening as well) or I may find another campsite and meet up with you guys sometime the next morning.Quote:

Ah, if going via Corinna - stop, shelter, look up, stream side = it was there today! Have a fun weekend Jake!Quote:

You certainly did travel a twisted route home after we met - I couldn't believe some of the caches you did after Years of Upheaval and Old Yella.;)Quote:

like a loose jeep part picked up on the side of the road?Quote:

I do have some questions though for those of you heading up Friday afternoon since we will not longer be able to communicate on this web site with you after tomorrow. What are you plans for Saturday afternoon? If I am able to come and I do show up late I don't want to arrive at the campground and have no one be there.
Also I would like to hear from every one else leaving Saturday that is heading up and get a feeling of what time everyone is leaving Saturday and what time you are planning on arriving?

Thanks for the offer Rob, but it looks like I am going to have to bail on this one. The earliest I can leave my house would be 1 pm and that would put me there about 5 pm. That is really to later to bother, plus with the rain coming it does not sound promising. Thanks for the offer.Quote:

It was a great weekend! So glad people could make it and/or not chicken out...it really paid off didn't it!! :D
A bit of a side track, Steph - I was so excited last week when up north - I saw a campe sign "Medawisla" and I smiled because I knew what it meant. Had it not been for your choice of screen names, I would not have had a clue!
Where are the pictures to prove it?Quote:

Incidentally, has anyone heard from Hiram . . . he hasn't posted in awhile. You didn't bury him somewhere did you Medawisla.
What happens at TL07 stays at TL07. And leave magumbofoofoo:D out of the Hiram not posting issue. The less he posts the more he'll want to talk to her. And we know that would be sad.:rolleyes: :p
