February Meet

[wootown22]

Fishsticks are you parting with you beefy bumper??

And ok so Woodinville it is, an early meet time? 9 am? Fishsticks I know you said you can't show up till closer to ten so just come when you can, unless 10am works better.

As far as a place, I think our best bet would be the Woodinville Cafe, it is in a parking lot where QFC went out of business so it is usually a big empty lot. Plus they are open that early on a Sunday and have good food, if we want to eat.

How many people would want to go wheeling? Taking our time, I usually spend about 2-3 hours up there; I can do the trip in 2hi. You WILL go through some water with this rain, no more then 6" deep.

I'm trying to upload my most recent video that is a time lapse, but here is the raw video. Please turn off sounds.... I sound like a tard in here a few times.

If you skip along you will have a pretty good idea of whats out there.
Highlights:
Steepest downhill/uphill on loose gravel: 26:35 / 36min
Will require maneuvering for stock height vehicles: Starting @ 12:15-30
Muddy Fun: 20-24min

Here is a video of some of the mud/puddle fun (this is the deepest part, and completely avoidable; there is a bypass route )

Nah I'm selling my stock bumper cover with fog lights.

I need to make a stop in Newcastle while I'm up there. I won't be staying over like I usually do. 11ish is actually better for me.

 

[FlyingFischer]

The plans sound good to me, but i won't be able to go wheeling. I am leaving sunday to head back to Spokane.

 

[FlyingFischer]

So what's the head count for this meet? Just curious as to who is coming.

I'm still in.

 

[Answer069]

We are still in

 

[asautt]

If the "final answer" is Woodinville I will probably drop by for a quick group hug and cuppa Joe before I head off to work.

[FlyingFischer]

Yeah looks like Woodinville is the final decision. Does 9AM at the Woodinville Cafe work for everyone? Just trying to get something set in stone before I am without my computer for the weekend. I'll still have my droid razr but I really don't check tapatalk for forum updates.

 

[wootown22]

I'm in,

the only thing with the 9am start is fishsticks wont roll around until around 11. maybe a lil later like 9:30 or 10 am start time?

^since I don't know my way around woodinville very well, is that the right place?

 

[fishsticks]

I've had some unforeseen circumstances come up that may prevent me from going this Sunday. I'll know more in the coming days.

^since I don't know my way around woodinville very well, is that the right place?

yes kardain that is it!

Ok so lets do 10am, Woodinville Cafe. Park a couple rows east of the cafe. I'll be there early so look for the black beast. For those that want to wheel, I think there should be at least three people going up to make it worth while; otherwise lets save for a trip another meet.

 

[jbones]

I'm still waiting on the word if I work Sunday or not. Will know by Friday afternoon.

 

[jbones]

Good and bad news!

Good news is I picked up the overtime Sunday.

Bad news is I'm now unable to come on Sunday.

So you guys and gals next time.

 

[FlyingFischer]

Well I guess that's good news, but too bad you can't make it. I will always post up if I ever come to the area.

 

[Answer069]

Again we are still in I think and maybe up for some wheeling.

 

[jbones]

Shinnyfeet was here http://gmtnation.com/f51/super-busy-1943/ checking back in, I sent him this way letting him know about the meet this weekend.

Real sorry a can't go, but the overtime pay is hard to turn down. Did you guys and gals hear I found out I didn't have a G80.

 

[fishsticks]

I am out too. Sorry guys.

 

[wootown22]

Alright let's finalize it ten am, woodinville cafe

 

[kardain]

Heading out now.... Gps puts me there just before 10

 

[FlyingFischer]

Another successful meet.

 

[kardain]

It was nice to meet all of you.

Another successful meet.

Agreed. As far as I know, nobody broke anything which is always good.

From the other side:

Yeah, I think its time for a lift... scraped frame a few times getting to this spot

This picture was not easy to get

 

[asautt]

Too bad I missed the meet. Woke up to a cold house and finally got the old furnace burning again just in time to head to work.


Will try to catch ya'all the next time.

[Answer069]

Yeah it was a great meet even though there were only 4 TBs there. Donnie we had to do some urban wheeling for you since you couldn't make it. The spots were perfect. Freshly cut down trees in the parking lot with nice high mounds around the ground level stumps.only scraped the front bumper cover a little. No damage

 

[jbones]

I had an uneventful day at work.

Glad to hear you all had a good time, see yah next time around.

The object is to put ONE tire on the obstacle and still have the other 3 touching the ground. Needs more flex.

Sorry I missed the meet. I'm freshly single and had to move some of my stuff over to the new place this weekend.

 

[ScarabEpic22]

Looks like fun, Ill be at the next meet!

After Friday when Jeff and I install his lift, we'll have another lifted TB running around the NW! :wootwoot:

 

[Answer069]

I'm definitely out for the install party which is a shame because I was actually going to be able to make it. Came down sick last night so I will definitely be out.
