    Hallowharrie 2013

    After two polls, and some discussions, this year will be 17-20OCT. In order to facilitate planning for families, we will try and lock it to the weekend before halloween weekend each year. Should be doable, allows families to still participate in local halloween events and still late enough in they year that it should be a bit cooler at night.

    Maybe I can sweet talk Eli into either setting up the campground graphic or sending it to me so I can mod as needed See complete stolen product below :roll:



    Thursday, October 17th ~ Sunday, October 2oth.
    (with the Main Days being Friday and Saturday)


    As always, this IS NOT exclusively an Isuzu event…
    We welcome ALL 4-wheel-drive fanatics, no matter what brand of vehicle you happen to drive...
    (as long as you can behave yourself, and know how to play well with others! :P )

    If anyone is interested in this trip, (nudge to Ash,Tom, Billy and any others in my neck of the woods), I am heading down there on Tuesday, 15Oct. We like to take a day and go fishing, chill at the campsite, leisure wheeling and hanging out. We may go horseback riding or canoeing this trip as well. We leave at 7am on Tue, come back and home by 2 or 3pm on sun. We can convoy down there, a few VXes, a trooper RS and a Montero would be a cool convoy.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Let me know, I took SSsiggy and his brother on street stock VXs last trip, they had a blast!
    We can convoy together if you can get the time off.

    HMMMM ... 5+ hours .... may be doable. I'm taking a week off in Sep so it may be difficult to take time off in Oct too (we'll see).

    I'll have to start working on Wifey to convince her that it'll be fun.

    Wish the campground had full hookup.

    This may actually be my best opportunity to prove to all those Moab-ites that BZBZZZ does actually get dirty.

    (that reminds me, Boy had to unstuck a Ford the other day & he coated the interior with mud ... better check to see if he ever cleaned it up).

    Sweet! Looking forward to this trip. Finished welding up and painting the toolbox mount on my trailer yesterday. Gonna try and mount the brush guard as a permanent bumper on the trooper tomorrow, weather permitting.

    Not that I know of, we have a guy with an amigo that used to make the trip from ocala, but he is a park ranger now and can't get the time off.
    Looks like I am bringing some more folks, got an Xterra coming as well.

    Hmm... There's like a dozen of Vx owners in the CFL area alone, according to Member Map, but no one is coming up? That sux. I've been wanting to make it to one of our events for quite some time but never works out.

    Vx is grounded right now if I can get it ready in time I'll come up..

    Maybe Florida meet sometime soon... Weather is getting nice.

    Would be awesome if you can make it, let me know, if you need any info, I can help you out. I also have a ton of room at the campsite if you need somewhere to tent it up.

    Due to politician ineptitude, the camp grounds are currently closed. The trails are open, using contingency funds and the fact they are mostly self sustaining with trail fees. Having closed the lodging area keeps most of the visiting riff raff out of the park.
    I am still waiting to pull the trigger on not going, will have to see what happens next week.
    I guess the time off will allow me to work on the bumpers for both trucks...lol. Silver lining kind of guy right here:0
