Picked up a new to me tent for the event and others in the future. A nice REI Kingdom 6 also scored a nice REI camp kitchen to go with it all.

1 week till the fun starts.

 

Got the truck cleaned out and half packed to go. Need to do a bit more organizing. Tomorrow over to the auto craft center to rotate the tires, change fluid in the diffs and TC. Possibly a new set of front brake pads.

 

Almost ready to roll north for the fun. If you are coming though be sure to dress warm and if you are camping be sure to bring a extra blanket, looks like it is going to be chilly!

 

Scored a Coleman Big Game -5 sleeping bag for $50 over at Academy Sports on clearance.

Just 2 days till the fun begins, truck is packed and I'm heading north as soon as I get off duty tomorrow!

Only 706 miles.....

 

Safe travels and keep that sleeping bag zipped up tight.

This event was floating around my radar for the past month, well within a days drive...but as luck would have it...neighbors had a unplanned trip to FL come up...and we have to watch their animals for the next seven days.

Next best chance at an outing I guess is winter romp.

Anyhow, have a great time.

Brian.

 

It's going to be a long drive for me especially since I am towing. Hoping to be in the road by 2 pm. So with a little luck I should be there first thing in the morning.

Remember to come see me to get a Landroverforums.com sticker

 

Let the slow roll to Pennsylvania begin

 

Made it around 1145 am today. Long slow drive since I was towing another Rover behind the LR3.

So first thing I got my tent set up and quickly realized I forgot my cot. Luckily for me Justin had a spare I could borrow. Then it was off to the trails.

Anthracite is awesome, lots of great trails some really slick rocks and some great scenery. I spent my afternoon with Brent Justin and Erik helping lay out the Rock course for the competition tomorrow. It is going to be wildly different than the course of previous years. Thankfully I have heard of no Rover suicide runs this year.

Once that was done we were back in the main tent for some snacks, drinks, steak and mac'n'cheese. Then off to the Lucky8 mobile parts store to chat and enjoy some wind free warmth thanks to the MrBuddy heater.

Now a bit of time to relax and get some rest for the road weary like myself.

 

Im sure it was a great time cant wait for pics, hope we can start coming again next year

 

One hell of a great weekend on the long road home now. Will update with some pics and more about the event once I get home.
