So far, confirmed, we have Tweedy Bird and Meyers with SuzukiTom as possible. ZoKC has 5 confirmed: myself, Kevin, Keith, Mel, and Rob, w/ 2 more possible. As usual, we will do LJ level trails in the am and the harder stuff in the afternoon. So, in the afternoon. the LJ's can watch, try their luck a...

Ok, the question has been asked where ZuksOfKC camps at Disney. I'll answer that. We camp at a little known campground south of Pensecola Dam. There are no hook ups, just pads and grass. Here is a map of the area. It's actually in Langley, not Disney. And it's a little tricky to get to the first tim...

Zuks Of Kc are planning a Labor Day Meet Aug. 29th - Sept 1st at Disney, Oklahoma. As always, LJ's are invited. (also anybody else that wants to come). We'll be there from Fri. afternoon on Aug 29th to Mon. Sept 1st, We'll be camping below Penecola Dam at the COE campsite. Further info upon request.

Yeah. I'm headed out there Fri afternoon and will be there thru Mon.

It's the Tuttle Creek ORV area in Randolph, Ks. about 20 miles north of Manhattan.
Closest motels are in Manhattan.

Well, folks, there's your definitive answer on an official LJ10.com meet. That's why I deferred to Steve in my post. SuzukiTom and I are tentatively discussing a local get together in the Texas, Ks, Ok, Qrk. area. If anything comes of it, we'll post up in the afore mentioned "LJ Meets" cat...

Really?
Lemme look at that...

Edit: Ah, yes, new subcatagories to the root "LJ Meets" root forum are Admin only.
Keeps it a little cleaner.

Hell, we had one at Moab last year and you didn't make it. Ain't gonna happen 2 years in a row.

<sigh...> I suppose we could. Been a pretty dismal turn out for the last few. If I get 3 or more requests after this post, then I will put up a new thread for a 2014 "official" meet. Sorta "official". As long as Steve agrees. I ain't running the sunamabitch, tho (after last year)...

No comments on the vids?

Works good, don't it?
That was one of those moments when I said "why won't this work?" and just tried it.

A super sweet mod for an LJ80 that really makes a difference.

And here are the vids that Kevin just posted: Skyhiranger-Fins and Things http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y469/skyhiranger1/wheeling%20pics%20and%20vids/Moab%202013/th_Skyhiranger-FinsandThings.jpg Tom and Smuz-Fins and Things Smuz and Sky-Fins and Things http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y469...

Hey, how'd your expedition to Steel Bender go on Friday? I wish I had been able to make that day, but Nancy wanted to check out Grand Junction instead (mixed up priorities, huh?) Tom H. Was a good trail. Good variety of terrain, quite a few fun obstacles, nice scenery. Long enuf that Kevin didn't w...

Nice job, Larry.

Coupla pics Alice took: You know, Smuz, you can photoshop out that ugly fat guy in the upper right corner that's photo bombing in that shot :| :| I think I 'd rather chop out the ugly short, fat fella in the left center... P.S.: It's kinda hard to make out Kevin's winch line in the pic, ain't it? A...

I also wanna thank Phil (Tweedy Bird) for the comradeship, running winch cable, helping with fixing mechanical issues, and picture tacking. He was an anchor on this trip.

And he's got one sweet little LJ81 that he beat up a bit on this trip.

Thanks, Phil.

Oh, I really, really, REALLY wanna put forth my utmost thanks to SuzukiTom for showing us around, running winch cable, fixing my elect. probs, and really making this a great time for us. He was an absolute peach of a guy. And his commentary in my shotgun seat about the geology and the historic aspec...

Smuz and Kevin are home safe and sound. Was an awesome trip. I'll start posting a synopsis of it tomorrow, after I decompress. Wuz a long run home, the GPS said that I towed that freight train 1900 mile there and back. Kevin got quite a bit of video that I'll post links to when he gets it up. Later...

And Kevin, Alice, and I are in a hotel at Aurora, Co. watching it rain. Gee-whiz, there,s a lot of water here. We hit one bad 100 mile stretch between Colby, Ks. and Limon, Co., where we had a 30+ quartering headwind. I got 3.5 mpg. Ouch! Tomorrow should be un eventful, once we get thru Eisenhower t...

And we're off...

Hell, you won't be big enuf to contain the overflow of all the fun I'm gonna have.

Wish you wuz here, buddy.

Got the little trailer ready.
Working on "Xena, the amazing purple tow pig" now.
Got spare parts packed.

Gonna roll out at oh-dark-thirty on Sat. morn.

This is gonna be a great time.

CB radios:

ZoKC usually runs on channel 16. If that's too busy, we usually drop to 6. If that's too busy than we punt. Take this info for what it's worth.

Hey Tom.
I know I strong armed you into being trail leader, but how about we plan on doing "fins and things" on Monday. That's a nice, easy trail to get us started and don't take all day.

Then we kin get together Mon nite and plan further.

Huh?

Getting close and I'm about ready. Kevin mentioned that he washed his Samurai. What a smart aleck. I figger that Moab is all sand and rocks and could benefit from some Kansas mud, so I'll let my Samurai shake itself off there and dump summa the crusted mud that's weighing it down. :D 'course the hid...
