The 49er is on the other side of 75 eddo. Anyone coming from the North, take a right off exit 49, NOT a left. :wink:

I was really looking forward to seeing all your new toys Moose.

shes flying home for the long weekend ahead. Not that it wont be nice to have her home for a few days. :wink:

And to think I was out in the cold garage last night putting on my transmission and gas tank skid getting ready for this trip.

Take her with you, man! I dont know anyone who doesnt enjoy going jeepin with a good friend :wink:

From my house, it is about even either way but alittle faster to go via Ciny (74 - 275 - 75: 241.5 miles @ est 3.53 hours) then to go via Louisville (65 - 64 - 75: 248.4 @ 4.03 hours). I will plan to meet Eddo et al. at the Mcdonalds in Florence, KY at 7:00 am since that is the way I have gone before and I know what to expect. See the rest of you at the 49er...

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Feb 16, 2007 10:29 am

I would bring her along but first she doesnt get into Detroit until about 10 tonight and then the last time we were down there 4 wheeling it rained , it was muddy and she was not at all happy on the trip at all. Shes not the real outdoorsy type like I am. Plus I only get to see her about 3/4 days a month until end of May so alone time is GREAT! :wink:

Was really looking forward to the trip. :cry:

But wife at home

so there you have it

Post lots of pictures I will be waiting on Sunday for them!

Moose, end of March??? First of April gets into Easter etc. ??

I think its going to rain again.

I was hoping it would be sunny. I have a hard time taking good pics when the lighting isnt very good.

It's looking more like snow than rain. I'd rather have snow anyways, snow is pretty.

You need a camera with a small F number, so you can let in more light.

If you dont care eddo, can you show me how to use the F stop? I think I stil have the same camera as you, Fuji FinePix E550.. I was having an awful time getting pics last time.

Yea, Im fairly excited about the snow, but Im dont want to to lay on those rocks to much.. :shock:

Every little bit helps. And I've been told it's not the size, it's the skill...

Jeepjeepster · **Posted:** Fri Feb 16, 2007 2:27 pm

Your'll be just fine jerbacher. I only had the OME lift which gave me 1.5in of lift on my lowered Libby. Some people get more but thats all I had, and I didnt have rocker rails. Since you have those, skids AND youre prelowered, I wouldnt worry about anything. :wink:

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Feb 16, 2007 2:38 pm

jerbacher,
just go and show them how its done! Wish I was there to watch.

jerbacher · **Posted:** Fri Feb 16, 2007 5:21 pm

Yeah... I'm sure I'll be fine. Well, I'm on my way! Picking up my friend in Columbus right now. See you all tomorrow!

meduncan · **Posted:** Fri Feb 16, 2007 8:31 pm

Sorry guys but I have to back out too. While i love driving through the snow around here I'm not so comfortable doing it offroad. I also just came off a 16 hour shift at work so I'm extremely exhausted. Hopefully I'll be able to catch the next run.
