where are you? im planning on staying in camp 3 (closes to the showers and flushing toilets) camp 1 is for trailers but they book early. camp 6 is the party camp hence y its in the back. camp 2 is also nice but can get cold depending on the weather as the wind blows off the lake.

just don't follow these guys and u will be fine

This vehicle is definitely ready for the next off-road adventure.

No worries about that, my little barely bigger than stock CJ isn't going where that thing goes. I don't have answers to any of your questions, I've never been there before. I was thinking about getting ahold of another Navy friend of mine with a YJ and see about going up with him. It's about a 4~5 hour ride from my place in Chesapeake to there.

Great time, man!

 

[Manic Mechanic]

it was i have a few videos that my passenger took. but sense they were taken on an iPhone and then sent to my android the quality is

I phones take good videos and pictures. Unless it is maybe 10-15 years old.

 

[Manic Mechanic]

the pics and videos look great on his phone. the problem is sending videos between IPhone and Android. im sure with the software they don't play well with each other

It's time for Ice Breakers again. It's April 26-28 so only 2 weeks away.

As always it's being held in the cove at Gore VA.

Only got 10 minutes of wheeling in (not even wheeling just trying to get to the trail head) heard and felt a noise. Pulled over in the first clearing thinking I broke a front u joint in the axle shaft. Nope my front pinion is hitting the oil pan so I stopped (while I could still drive) went back to camp and spent the weekend drinking eating and riding with other people.

On a side note we were on the trail and a cat was hiding in the engine bay of someone's Jeep. No idea where it came from but it was scared sh*$less huddled up on the battery. He was rescued from the trail and adopted by another Jeeper.

I’m just glad that’s not 3 kittys in that picture, then that bbq pictured.
