Wish I could have come. I got asked (told) Friday about a Sat crane lift.
4 hours of easy O/T, but you look like it was fun! :cry:

Nice. :lol:

May I suggest the "H" from a Honda or Hyundai? Might be easier to get.

What? It has all wheel drive and due to an extra leaf spring it sits higher than other Astros in the back. Might due a torsion bar lift on the front soon too.

Just browsed through the Grumpy Chronicles but will return to check out more. That's actually both entertaining and cool.

I know I know... that's on the list of things to do. Still, for being stock (and due to my self proclaimed newbie-ness) we had a lot of fun!

Some more pictures.

Not so much a stream ... more like a huge puddle. Jayme should be able to give you a good reference point for it's location. All I can tell you is that it's near the hills in the pictures.

The "Stream" is the mud hole in the big open area just behind the fountains.

Anybody off on Monday's? I am planning to go out there to test my new lockers in the afternoon. That is if I get the honey-do list completed in the am. :roll:

Yeah, I work Sat's. Friday evenings is riding time with the boys. Sat pm's is wifey time. Sunday's are sometimes open for me. I'm curious to see how much water (if any) is out there after the rains.

I'm off at 1:30 most Mondays. Working on a server migration this week, so I'll probably work over. Next week (Sept 29) would probably work, if you don't mind making a run with "The Heep".

I'm going to be out there on Saturday this week - but I may just have to leave work early on Monday so that I can go play some more out there! Keep me posted on if you guys follow through and don't mind having me tag along.

Also, if anyone wants to join me and a lifted Blazer on Saturday, we'd love the company!

Okay so I'm glad no one committed. Look's like I won't make it out there today.

I will let you both (and anyone else who might be able to play) know about next Monday. I'm thinking it will be good for me, but I don't want to commit just yet. I'm anxious to see how well the new DTT & PowerTrax do.

Still heading out there on Saturday if anyone wants to join.

Also, want to go out on Sunday too. Anyone else interested?

PM me (it'll notify me on my cell phone if you PM - can't guarantee I'll be online much Friday or Saturday) if anyone's going to come out either day. Hope to see some of you all out there!

I'm not able to go this weekend (Sat or Sun). I am hoping I can do this coming Monday? I leave on vacation Oct 4th, and won't be back until Oct 14th. At some point over this weekend I'll let those of you who were considering Monday know if I can make it. Meanwhile, for those going this weekend, enjoy!
