[wannabeH3]

i doubt there is a fee, im sure its fully catered and covered.

[H3 Hummer]

I got the invite also - I will be there.

[dochummer]

What time does it start at end?

[H3 Hummer]

Morning and afternoon sessions -

Registration starts at 8 for morning and 11:30 for the afternoon.

[evldave]

Do you have to have the invite to go? I bought mine in Portland @ Vic Alfonso, but that's the only free weekend I have for the next couple months.

[wannabeH3]

just call 253 4749424 and ask for phoebe. hey chris what time you gonna go down there? i reserved for afternoon. we should drive together.

[dochummer]

Hmmm....how far is it from Bellevue to this ORV park? I have to be in bellevue by 12:30 for a wedding....

[dochummer]

Oh, and are you guys going for the morning or afternoon/late morning run?

[H3 Hummer]

Miguel, I was thinking about going to both but will ask the guy if I can when I register. It might be to early for the morning so I might just go the afternoon one like you - we should most definetly go together.

Doc, I am not sure how far the dirt trails go back there but I think it's probably about 1 hour to 1.5 hours highway driving.

I signed up for the afternoon also. We can talk more this weekend about driving down there together.

[Mark805]

well i'll be... didnt see the thread.

All the afternoon slots were taken so i got a morning spot. See you all there :D

[H3 Hummer]

Anyone else going? :confused:

I am ready to drive over stuff! :D

[evldave]

I'll be there around 11:30! Coming in from VanWa, anyone else come from down south?

[HummBebe]

H3Hummer, don't forget to get some spy shots of Evil Daves, wheeling skeels:D :D :D

Keep an eye out for my rig, its got the offroad lights, and ipf lights on the front brush guard and its covered in mud from last weekend. seriously caked. my name is Miguel

[evldave]

H3Hummer, don't forget to get some spy shots of Evil Daves, wheeling skeels:D :D :D

Hey, it's the Saturday after a Friday, expect more of my drinking skeels. Plus this will be the first hard-core wheeling I've done w/the H3. Most has been mild off-road to go camping, etc. Don't have too high expectations :rolleyes:

EDIT: And I have a broken wrist. It may not affect my driving but at this point, I'm prepping my excuses for rolling the H3 in the 1st half hour (smashed up my Jeep pretty good 1st time I took it rock crawling, let's hope history doesn't repeat itself).

Cool, I'm in the black H3 with the Rough Country 5" lift, 37" BFG M/T, fully blacked out wheels, a roof rack, tire & jerry cans up top & bike rack on the back. Lookin forward to meeting some of the elcova crowd in person!:D

[wannabeH3]

go big or go home! mines black too

[JeffW]

Looks like I'm going to make it. My H3 still hasn't come (should be any day now), but McCann's giving me a loaner for the weekend. How cool is that? I'm in the morning session, but it looks like both sessions eat lunch at the same time.

[H3 Hummer]

I'm in the red one with roof rack, dirty and no mirror.


Miguel, my wifes friends might go so I don't know when I will leave. You still wanna drive down together?

[Mark805]

I'm there in the morning session... make sure to say hi.. I'll be the one with the line-x hood / grill :D

oh JeffW - Did you go through Lou @ McCanns? He's got to be the best sales guy I ever went through.

Cool. My loaner is white with full chrome (blech! :p) No, I went through Rich Hawkins at McCann's. He's definately the best sales guy I've ever worked with, too.

[Mark805]

if its got a Brown Bear car wash air freshner in it... I had it last week when they replaced my roof rail. :cool:

I definately like their service down there, but the service dept can be a pain.

See ya in the morning

[H3 Hummer]

Nice to see old faces and meet some new folks! :) I think WannabeH3 got the award for dirtiest Hummer.

I didn't break anything this time - just one little dent. My new front tow hitch didn't scrape at all! :D

Nice shots

[evldave]

Hey man, nice meeting you & wannabe. Too bad I couldn't meet anyone from the earlier session. Gotta get back up there and drive through some more mud :)

I'll get pics up tomorrow, took a few, not nearly a many as you. Time to go drink some more, get wasted at Josh's house, throw up, pass out, and hope I can make it to work on Monday. Later! :D :D

[evldave]

Dude, this is all I saw in that picture. She was hot!

[wannabeH3]

i didnt get to see any of the h3's with 35s! that sucks.. i had a lot of fun tho, and was surpised by how many cool people i met this time.

[Mark805]

You missed some of us cool people in the morning session too :p JeffW got to drive a loaner through all the stuff... lucky! :D

This was my first time and you'll definately see me at the next one. I liked the parting picnic bag too... was a nice touch.

[NEOCON1]

cool pix looks like a fun day :D

[JeffW]

Good times. I got to hang out with Mark805 in the morning session and meet WannabeH3 and H3Hummer at lunch. It's great to be able to put faces with you characters. :D After seeing Mark's Toyo's in action, I think I've identified my first upgrade. And after playing with his Z1, I've identifed my other first upgrade. Thanks Mark! (although my wife is cursing you).

The loaner I had didn't have the adventure package, but I was pretty amazed at how well it could do everything with the smaller tires and no locker. Just a little less elegantly in some spots, is all. Looking forward to the next adventure with my own rig.
