Like them, ha? Most are yours anyway. Next time I'll arm you with my camera and you'll be snaping pictures of my rig.
Like you said Pete, "Andre won't miss an opportunity (photo that is)".
I'm glad you like them.

Seems like they're scheduling Truckhaven for middle of January. It would be kind of nice to be able to get away from our "beautiful" cold weather but the drive scares me. I'm about to go to OKC and it's only 800 miles each way, now think about Californi,,,,, I dunno.
I'd sure love to go. Moab sounds more like a possibility for a family event (if it's moved to June).
We'll see.

Also I would hope to start early in Attica next year.
I would like to at least visit this "Pipeline" thing and see what it's all about.
I'm busy though next weekend, then it's 11th of November, 18th we're wheeling in Attica, then it's Thanksgiving weekend and later we're into December (snow, ice, cold you know- too late).
Perhaps if we just go up north and look around in Wisconsin on 18th instead of Attica?
We should really start thinking about this thing that Cameron started with the Illinois Explorer Club. Perhaps there is a chance we could get a group together and do something about these trails in Illinois? Like buying some land you know?
Just a thought......

I hear the pipe line is nothing but mud...Not ot mention....I don't know about the drive...But I like the idea of Cameron's idea about the Illinois Explorer Club...But the land buying idea? At the early stages, it seems kinda far fetched....But then again, I could be wrong
Thanks,
Pete

that would be awesome! unfortunately....land that is big enough, and good enough to wheel on would take a WHOLE lot of capital...even at good prices.....we would want some kind of water on site...and at VERY VERY least about 50 acres...and thats on the small side...
now theres always the idea of knocking off a bank, or perhaps fort knox...then we could do it.....lol....
and yeah..i think the pipeline is almost all mud....with only 1 or 2 rock crawling areas...so i dunno.....

I've been in Real Estate sales for the last 10 years and know for a fact that buying land somewhere in the middle of nowhere is not a problem. Especially if it's not used in agriculture. That could be cheap and if you gather a few guys to do it together, well, that's not that bad. There is a responsibility there though since you'd have to take care of it too somehow. Now, we're so busy with our lives I don't know how we would take care of the land but then again, I might be wrong.
It was just a thought. Might have to talk to Cameron as well about it.
Moab looks great but it would look even better in June when my kids are out of school.
Truckhaven might be tough since it's in January and all the way in Californi......
That's all folks.

Even though this event takes place in January I won't be attending cause it's too damn far for me!!!!!!!
Too bad,,,,,,,
Moab is a different story. I'm in, just need to find out about the dates and I'm set.
Are any of you going to camp? anyone interested in reserving either a cabin or a motel room????
This thing will become a Moab connection thread in no time!

To be honest, most of the tape is of Kampy and Pete. You are in there a couple times Andre and Dave too. There are some shots of me, but I can't video and drive at the same time. Dead Link Removed
