914's at 7477 ft. Snow cresting Soldier Summit on the way to the event.

Click to view attachmentThe rain and the weather turned out to be a blessing in some regards. We got some awesome views from the top of the overlook (looking South).

McBurger saving the day on Dave's car

About 50 miles out of Moab Dave's immaculate "Time Capsule" started making funny "dropped valve seat/exhaust leak" noises. He limped to the hotel and put on a really bummed face. The next morning Mark came to the rescue by pulling the valve cover and finding an adjuster screw had worked it's way loose. It was a little worn but still very usable and in what seemed like 10 minutes, Dave was grinning from ear to ear and running on the Arches drive.
Did we mention that it's the people not the cars?

The Aaron-mobile:
He came up behind me coming back from the awards dinner and he had those damn lights on,,, I could see him coming up on me and then it was like 40 welding arcs in my rear window and mirrors. I had to duck my head to keep the light from the mirrors from blinding me. He passed me, then I see the walls of the canyon lighting up in front of me and the light is moving down the canyon. His left blaster light got tilted up and to the left from wind,, he was lighting up the canyons walls as he was driving down the canyon along the colorado river,,, it was a sight to behold.

Let the celebration begin. Saturday morning and the staging for the Arches NP trip. Teeners stretch all the way to the white sign in the distance. We even had an awesome 968 from the land of enchantment join in... great car.
It was kinda difficult getting this picture as SLITS was dry humping me (Brant will post the picture I'm sure...)

I would like to think we are a pretty open-minded group here. Draperjojo and Eric, you could have brought your other wives

Seriously, I am so sad that I could not go. I have been wearing my two RRC T-shirts that I bought for the last two days in honor of your gathering...

Minor correction.

Dave pulled the valve cover and found the problem. SirAndy fished around and found the adjuster screw and the lock nut, and I put it back together. It was a team effort. It was great to be able to enact a quick fix and get Dave back into the event.
I have pictures too, but after 1000 miles and 13 hours in the car, it's bed time.

wow - there are lots of *really* nice and impressive photos
seems that you had big fun and a great time
the only thing that would scare me off is to drive my teener through the snow
somewhen in the future I'll have to fly over the big pond and visit you guys and gals - and join one of these events
