Awesome trip...obviously time for a new clutch in the buggy, but other than that came out unscathed. Even with the "Flip".

Speaking of which, I think someone got the video, I'd like to get a copy of that original. Steven, for your info, Ryan Clarke was driving, I was spotting - last obstacle of the last trail of the trip(Redneck Millionaire), we took a hard line just for the hell of it. I think we made it up further than anyone else did (without a winch), but just couldn't figure out how to get the buggy turned toward the trail exit (probably should have tried a front dig much earlier, in hindsight). Due to some "audience encouragement" we kept trying after we probably should have backed down. Thanks to Busa and Scott's help, we got it righted quickly, and drove it out while Busa's winch continued to hold it upright. It was a bit violent of a flip, so Ryan took quite a jarring and was a little sore, but he was expecting to roll and came out of it smiling. Other than a smallish dent/bend in the roof cage and accelerating an already noticeably worn clutch's demise, it didn't do anything to the buggy. I hope it was entertaining to all

p.s. Thanks for trailering, for organizing the WTWE and for buying all that spaghetti we never got a chance to eat, Ed! Thanks for the great fajita's, Chris!

How is the club handling $$$ for both those guys?

I have the video of it Chris. I just have to learn how to put it on the computer and be able to send it.

We saw Kopecki, then John Brown, then Scott and someone else on our way back to Dallas yesterday afternoon. Tried to call Scott to tell him something was falling off the back of the trailer but I guess he's too cool to answer his phone.

I think the waterpump on the ford quit on the way back. Overheats at idle very quickly. Don't think it's the fan clutch. Luckily it still has almost 400 miles and 1 month of warranty left. Fixed the dodge last night.

Tommy and I got the backyard arranged nicely. 2 boats, 2 trailers, and 2 jeeps back there and still easy to get everything in and out.

I don't know where the fawk I got 10 hours from...google maps says 13.5 hrs, took me 14 each way. Lot of driving for one day of wheeling, but what a great place! Great to see and wheel with you guys again!

And I think most of us learned that it probably wouldn't hurt to carry at least a few tools...like a lug wrench, at least?

can't believe you fawkers partied until 6am Saturday night

We all looked at each other, "You got Tools?" "Hell no someone else always brings tools...""Wait where did Ed go?!? ****."

Good times.

Great to see the hippie. The brunes were missed, rumors even started that they were actually coming with brandini.

Tator hill was awesome per usual.

Lots of good stories.

Colman next time you change a radiator on the trail, maybe dont leave 2 gallons of antifreeze on the rocks.

Drinking Keystone bottles at Tator Hill was fun. I vaguely remember talking **** to some OU fans, and also hearing about some mysterious roadblock waiting for us just short of town.

[J Cooper]

good times, some how it actually does get better every year.

... i am still tired and i went to bed at 8:30

Did you get any new graphics on your jeep? Perhaps a proclamation on your windshield?

[colman]

i did notice the matching dicks on the hood and the nicely formed dreidel in the center. nicely played. didnt notice anything on the windshield.
as far as the coolant goes, sorry, most of that was out when the radiator hit the fan. the hippy inside me cried a little

Got to drive the uglyota a little on Green Mamba, that was fun.

I passed Courtney on the way back. She sure does drive slow
