Ok, need some help from the ladies...

I will be going on my first wheelin' trip, you might say, next weekend. (Look at Lost Highway 87 thread) Just need to know what I need to expect from these guys. There are only going to be 2 of us girls on this trip. :eek:

Now reading the threads that some of these guys have posted...I am kind of worried and also kind of excited. I am planning on bringing the video camera for any blackmail material that can be posted on here later on. :thumbsup:

We will be primitive camping, which is no big deal, been doing that since I was little, but anything I should be aware of? Anything that I am not expecting? Any thing I should bring that the guys won't think of? Any input would be greatly appreciated, and of course, pics and videos will be posted when we get back. :D

toilet paper! hahaha

You will be fine, geesh!

Girls................hahahaha

Oh sorry I am not a girl but have taken plenty of them wheeling when I can convince them to go.....

Just knew in my heart 410 would be the first to respond:)
Have a nice trip

Send a PM to Spas...she can tell you what it's like to wheel with a bunch of lunatics, including Doug :D .

You calling me a girl?

I couldnt resist the TP idea.
How many times has your co pilot said, did you bring any TP and you just have a blank look on your face, like why wuold I bring TP along wheelin? hahaha

Send a PM to Spas...she can tell you what it's like to wheel with a bunch of lunatics, including Doug :D .
Not only Doug, but she's going with the Texas crew... :eek:

Just watch out for the guy that drives this one: ;)

My better halfs advice to you is :
as 410 said Toilet paper
Sunblock ??
chapstick
lotion
hat
camera
aspirin (for the headache you get rapping your head against the window ;) )
lots of extra socks/shoes (case they get wet and muddy)


If Svo is anything like me though you have to think of any extra comforts you may want.

Shiloh and I are used to living out of 25 lb and 40 lb set of backpacks for extended peiods. In short maybe a air mattress/pilow and an extra blanket may be a nice addition.

Not only Doug, but she's going with the Texas crew... :eek:

Just watch out for the guy that drives this one: ;)

Yeah, I'll definitely have to watch out for THAT guy! ;)

Do you think I should grab the life jackets out of our boat? You just never know....

The one thing about the Texas Crew is that I have talked to a few on the phone and through IM, but haven't met any in person except for Zavaral, Johnstone, and Jared. I have heard stories though, that is why the video camera is coming with. Copies will be sold on ebay when we return. :D

Jeff, I will pm Spas for any advice. Dreamr, thanks for the advice. We love to go camping so we have a full supply of stuff, including an air mattress, plenty of TP, cooking utensils, and a football. :D

Ok guys, they are talking about planning shenanigans and possibly driving naked. Help Me!!!!!!

Uhm... wow, I don't know exactly what to tell you on this one. The Texas crew is mucho crazier than us up here, from what I understand. All I can share is some of the things I've been subjected to :eek:


Being given an incredibly stupid name you hate as the result of an innocent comment you made, and being called it for the rest of your natural life.

Having someone velcro their "oh SH!T" handle instead of bolting it down so the resulting grab from a leap into the truck will leave you in a mud puddle under said truck.

Waking up to find your tent has been (while you were in it): Moved, barricaded with everything in the campsite, had the door zippers locked with a tiny luggage lock on the outside, collapsed, shaken, flipped upside down, etc.

Getting hit with tree branches while trying to surf on the roof or rear bumper.

Having to listen to whatever CD the driver is playin on the radio... 16 times in a row.

Major pucker factors, caused by the driver's insane urge to make a chick scream in fear. "Hey, look! There's a 40 foot dropoff on your side!"

Trying to keep up in drinking games, which usually ends with you sloshed and wondering why the hell the lights and water keep turning off while you're trying to wash the beer that someone spilled on you out of your hair (Might have something to do with said someone who spilt beer on you turning them off repeatedly from another room).

Running from the police. "Dude, no more donuts in the snow, the cops are coming!!"

Unproperly-cooked-bratwurst farts from your wheelin buddies that can make a foot high flame into a 10 foot fireball.

Being the "Go-to Bitch" and having to put the tow strap on your stuck buddy's front bumper... which is under 2 feet of water and a foot of muck.

Having your picture taken at the worst possible time, like when you're trying to pee behind a bush, change your clothes in the back of a truck, drunk to the point of singing "I'm a little teapot", etc.


And that's just from riding along... try driving your own Explorer and then you get to have:

*mud splashed all over it by the person in front
*get spotted into trees instead of away from them
*have younger ride-alongs steal your truck and 'get it dirty for you'
*find that your interior panels have been covered in rude sayings written in Sharpie
*Having your exterior panels covered in rude stickers
*turning your back for a minute and returning to find your wheel wells have been sawzalled
*custom dents from your friend as he tested the strength of his forehead on your doors
*all the air let out of your tires
*having your antenna stolen and hidden in someone else's truck
*getting your bumpers bent when someone tries to push your truck around to be funny
*getting locked out when someone steals your keys
*and free toilet papering

among many other things I can't remember offhand right now.

Hope you have fun :) :D



(PS, MUST LOVE YOU GUYS OR SOMETHING TO DEAL WITH ALL THIS ABUSE!)

Wow, you have been through a lot with these guys. And you still hang around them... :confused: :D

Thank you so much for sharing everything. This gives me something to watch out for with these guys. ;) Of course, since us girls will be on guard, wonder if the guys realize that girls can play dirty too. ;) :D

I'll tell you what Spas... Our West Coast runs sure are boring compared to what you've described:eek::confused::D

i like naughty girls ;)

.... Just need to know what I need to expect from these guys........

What to expect??? Mr. Evil :p

I'll tell you what Spas... Our West Coast runs sure are boring compared to what you've described:eek::confused::D


Rick, ya gotta remember who these comments come from....... :eek:

Wow... it looks like you're related to Mr. Evil :D

Spas I dont know what your talking about, we are always so nice to you and treat you with nothing but respect. Oh wait, did I just say we??? I meant I am always nice to you.

You what's sad? I was present or responsible for most things on that list... :D :roll:

You will be fine Lori, i think everyone covered all the extra's to bring. I like to bring a box of trash bags and i keep one tied to the back of my rig while slow going so its easy to pick up trash along the way. Tell Jeff i wish i could make it but i have to work. :( I really really wanted to go on this trip as the Lost Highway is something ive been wanting to explore for some time now, and who better to roll with than the Texas crew. :D Im sorry that i wont be there to put my ass all over Jeff while he's sleeping but i have passed the torch to Johnstone and im sure he will do a fine job. I have spent some time with these guys so here a few things to expect-

1- drunken debauchery

2- vehicles driving over parts of other vehicles

3- simulated sex with a trailer

4- simulated sex with an Explorer

5- drunken debauchery

6- people putting their ass on random objects/other people

7- greased door handles

8- standing in camp fire

9- stealing others camp fire

10- questionable objects used as fuel for camp fire

11- drunken debauchery

12- people knocking other people over while they are urinating

13- people knocking other people over while they are not urinating

14- loud conversation on the subject of explicit sexual acts in the presence of children, family, and the elderly

15- drunken debauchery

16- ice chest JBWelded shut overnight

17- tent zipper superglued

18- grill/cooking objects thrown into canyon

19- at least one person will bleed from some part of their body

20- at least one person will have their life saved

21- at least one person will form tackle a porta-potty

22- someone (probably the guy with the loudest exhaust) will pull their vehicle up against your tent and redline it in the morning as a wake-up call

23- excessive swearing on a fast food drive through intercom

24- excessive swearing on a CB radio

25- excessive swearing

26- harassing wildlife

27- male on male chair sitting

28- flagrant public nose picking

29- arm punching

30- random hat throwing



Those are just a couple of things i can think of off the top of my head. They are a really laid back eazy going group of guys and im sure you will have a fun and uneventful trip.

:D ;)

:confused:

Wow, you have been through a lot with these guys. And you still hang around them... :confused: :D

Oh, I didn't mention what went into revenge :D

My favorite and most famous two incidents have been:

Slipping a gay porn under the seat of our severly homophobic trail guide and trying not to crack up when he foundit in front of everybody during lunch,

and

Getting Doug so drunk that he passed out so I could give him custom sharpie tattoos :)


Spas I dont know what your talking about, we are always so nice to you and treat you with nothing but respect. Oh wait, did I just say we??? I meant I am always nice to you.

And believe me, I appreciate it, Bobby! It was only in defense of you that would make me climb into Ronald's lap and make a scene to show my anger with McDonald's cruel treatment of such a loyal Arby's customer :D

Rick, ya gotta remember who these comments come from.......:eek:

And Jeff, who always manages to get the worst picture possible of me, Ben or Doug ,,!, :D ,!,, I have some of you too, ya know :p

If you really want to capture my essence, i think this is a far better picture of myself... The 2nd two pics are of my friend Danny who will also be gracing you all with his presence this up coming weekend.

....And Jeff, who always manages to get the worst picture possible of me, Ben or Doug ,,!, :D ,!,, I have some of you too, ya know :p


Welllllll, speaking of Ben...we do have pix of him before his "change" took place...pix below are pre "change" and post "change" :p :D

It's such an improvement! :D


Lori, there'll be times that you're in a bad mood or the joke goes too far, just remember not to ever take any jokes too personally. They get to me evey now and then, but I just have to shrug them off. And plan revenge ;)

Very funny, Ben :fire:

Very funny, Ben :fire:

I don't know what your talking about. I took the backway home not down 83 & 81. :D :rolleyes:

I can't thank you all enough for the laughs that me and Jeff have shared over this thread. After reading IM's, this thread, the original trip thread, and my law enforcement training, I feel that I am prepared for anything. :D

I am ready for not being able to get out, or in, of a vehicle or tent. I am ready for some cussing, drunkeness, nakedness (I'll have the camera ready), and typical Animal House "shenanigans". :thumbsup:

Thanks for the testimonials, the confessions, and overall warnings. I appreciate all the help. :D

You should have seen some of the pre-Ben Fish jokes.. There where some good ones, I'm sure there are still pics floating around here somewhere. :D

well, someone post them up!

Just wanted to thank everyone for the advice, helpful hints, and again the confessions. The weekend was a blast with no major shenanigans except for a little silly string and a little flamethrower and no major catastrophes. :thumbsup:

Spas, it wasn't really Doug's fault about Jerraldine Springer showing up. We all felt bad that they had to leave. Him and Danny were having fun until all the drama started... :rolleyes:

At least now I have some idea what to expect for our next trip. ;)

Thanks Again....

Pfft. The only Pre-ben joke was the stupid "I break for Tuna" stickers, which everyone and their aunt has seen, so NYAH :p
