Clayton Christmas Carnage '09 (Rooms and Rides Thread)

[Eckert]

i started off the weekend horrible but it turned into an awesome trip.

the Klogger limo service was awesome, even if it did cost me a swift kick in the nuts.

I am extremely impressed with Colmans CJ. even iff he did roll it on the last obstacle of the trip.

I think we set a record for quickest back to camp, build a driveshaft from scrap, and continue wheeling for the rest of the weekend.

tater hill had the best bad ever, JB's conversation with the locals on the road block and '**** the longhorns', sharpe eating pickled eggs, and dancy goofy crying slow guy proved to be worthwhile entertainment. tommy and karl also received some great tater hill memorabilia.

whats the issue with tate? i heard the axle tried to remove itself going down the highway, but really couldnt figure out what went down after that.

trip was fun as hell as usual

cherokee did great

broke a spider on friday and thanks to creighton for welding it all back up again, broke a rear axle shaft on saturday, both on the same side, added some more body damage

who needs to drive more than 1 vehicle to take 12 people home from the bar

When we were pulling out of A&A to head to Tator, we all kinda wondered why the Kloggers trailer lights were on. Then we found out

I just decided. I have been looking into going back and finishing school. If and when I do, I hereby vow not to graduate in December, so I may never miss The Clayton trip again. Bummed I missed, sounds like you guys drank my share too.

Great trip, lots of fun as always.

Robbie- Picking you up and dragging you back was no problem at all.

Looks like I was the club retard this year and I sincerely apologize to everyone. There is no excuse for my actions, it won't happen again. Tyler is a good friend of mine and even though he would have been justified in completely beating my ass, he didn't which I respect that. Also I've noticed how I've been drinking a lot this last semester and while its led to some great memories it's also led to some really bad decisions; therefore, I'm putting an end to that and re-focusing on my life goals. Hope y'all don't mind if I continue to stick around.

My carnage:
Busted ****ing head
lost pride

I don't mean to mess-up this thread, so let's not discuss this here, and for your time I give you this:

Cruiser did well. A few dents, but nothing is broke that didn't show up that way... oh wait, except the end of my winchline. It broke as I was hauling myself over the last ledge of KT's Climb.

I need to wheel more often. I forget how fun it is. We covered a lot of ground on Saturday, up BlackSheep, CakeWalk, and most of Redneck Millionaire. Still wanted to run Black Mamba Extension but ran out of time.

Jones has a vid of me going up that wall.

Looks good. http://picasaweb.google.com/JJonesee...54831915852482

...thank all of you guys who stopped on the side of the highway to help when I broke down in route to Clayton thursday night...

I honked as I drove by, does that count?

...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 ...

Kind of, but mostly because nobody went that way. No winches were pulled until flipping Ryan back over. Busa and Scott went the easier left. I took the center, up against the tree. Ryan took more of a "non line" than a hard line (far right). Without going backwards, that rig came off that rock about the only possible way it could have from that point. The line that he came off on was the best look he had the whole time up there. I was surprised it went over that hard. Glad he was OK and the rig had almost no damage. I'm not sure if that's from thick tubing or a light rig, but it faired very well.



Good times indeed. Missed some of you regulars. The funniest thing of the whole trip was Cody and Rodney taking turns rolling on the AC unit, jaming out to Bad Romance. Still makes me laugh.

i broke three rear ujoints, and debeaded my front passenger tire three times, i guess i need to figure out what wrong with my staun in that tire and convert to a cv drive shaft
