DB1 I saw you, well your truck anyway. Catch up with you tomorrow or later in the week I hope!

Yeah, i'll keep an eye out for you. Saw Ted's X before I left for home this morning. Picking up some more firewood and selling an item, be back this afternoon.

You guys doing dinner tonight? My phone doesn't work anywhere out there (Sprint). I lose signal somewhere between Yucca and the Hammers

Dave, I am in the brown Bounder motorhome just before the middle spectator entrance to hammertown and across the main road. There are some orange traffic cones and we are the very south end of the circle they make. I saw your truck parked last night from out rv.

Good deal Brian...i'll look for you. I went and watched some of the action on the jumbotron after things slowed down a bit at Backdoor...plus it was freezing lol. Had a prime spot halfway between the start and Backdoor, i'll post up some vids when I get back.

 

[RockRanger]

Wish I could of made it. Have fun and grab some can coozies for me. I am running low on them.

Nice work Ted

Met up with the EF crew last night and had a good dinner out of the dust on the lakebed. Matt (Rockranger) made an impromtu visit and camped with me last night.

Matt and I headed out today to Aftershock to catch some of the action. It's amazing to leave the crazyness of the lakebed then head out a few miles and you're the only souls out there. We could only park so close to the trail because we didn't want to cross the course. Had about a half mile hike into the canyon where the trail was.

Met up with Brian1 and his media buddies and went out to get some shot of my truck and managed to break a hub...at least that's what I hope it is. That's what showing off get's ya lol.

In other mishaps before I left tonight, I almost caught my truck on fire I hardmounted my compressor inside the cab but still have to clip it on the battery for power. Well, it gets real hot during use and didn't have the cord all the way uncoiled. The cord caught fire melted since it was in contact with the hot compressor...could have been bad.

All in all had fun and always good to see some of the EF guys

..We've been having a blast so far and I scored a Viair tank and some other little goodies from the garage sale going on out there..

..Here's some pics from yesterday afternoon.

 

[Tbars4]

..We did have a light breeze pick up, a few spotty sprinkles and then it was all gone in a matter of minutes..But nothing to stop you from eating your hot dogs..

The guys trying to close the door on the Big Tent with the breeze fighting them..

The Kings..
