Yes indeed, a fine event all around.
Line up from early in the day:
The town of Pearce has a garage sale - note AJ on the porch taking a picture of me:
A later lineup on the side of the road, in the "town" of Gleeson:
Mike pushing AJ off the top of the hill after one...
Put us down as "maybes". We've blown the budget for three months straight, but it would be good to get out and about.

We're gonna sit this one out, what with the gas prices and the temperature and the fact that we've done the CK run twice in the last year already (lifted and unlifted, and lifted is a lot easier).

AJ's KJ in Martini Cave, so named because it is hung over.
Horse Fight!
We passed a guy driving a loader who told us that three Jeeps had gotten stuck at this river crossing. It's not mud so much as very fine sand, and our guide told us that everything they put down (brush, whole...

Good fun, and enough food to feed a platoon!

Give me a mission chief. Give me an excuse to go to Costco and get one or three of the big industrial size packages of those quarter pound hot dogs. I could bring my propane torch and cook one dog at a time.
That's not very far away, we could do that. As long as it isn't the last weekend of April.
Good luck with the job hunt, Robert. I know what that's like.
I'm still in the consideration stage. If I want to make a career out of it then it's a lot of money to spend just to sit around and make starvation wages for two years. Or more - there's a rumor that some of the Gulf Coast operators are going to raise their minimum requirements to 1500 hours...
I hear you, and I'd like to do this run sometime (and I haven't seen o8k in a while), but we just need a weekend to ourselves. Our weekends have been taken up by one thing or another since mid December.
...I'm also considering helicopter training, and if that happens you won't see me for...

Ditto all around - it was a good time, I'd rather run on rocks than anything (expecially mud), and I much prefer the comfort of the KJ over the Wrangler.
Some of us in the water in Box Canyon:

A 1500 pound tent camper with a fairly high tongue weight of about 225 pounds, mostly because of the battery and two propane tanks:
The Liberty is lifted, Frankenlift Heavy Duty, and it sags about an inch or so with the trailer attached. If I stand my 200 pound self on the hitch as well it...
Excellent, thanks. I'm not too worried about efficiency, after all I doubt I'm going to use it to talk much more than a few hundred feet, but I want to make sure my SWR isn't around 5:1 or something like that to avoid putting extra stress on the transmitter.
Yup. I wish the power cable was...
