I only had time for these photos to down load: http://www.imagestation.com/album/slideshow.html?id=2087491010

Sunday: I just got home and took a well deserved shower.....Now I am somewhat relaxed and going through the picture files I had accumulated from Saturday and Sunday. There are a lot, got to down load Liz's camera and Brian’s. The story will not be easy to write this time since I was limited to where I was on both days, but I will comprise a narrative version. I count on those who where leading their perspective groups to tell the stories pertaining to their own experience. Anyone there can feel free to elaborate, add to or correct. Data on the final stuff will be posted later.

Thanks to all participants, volunteers, guides and friends. Most importantly, Thanks to all our Sponsors and Rausch Creek Off Road Park who contributed a significant amount based on attendance.

Pictures will be available later as well.

Matt I hope you recover quickly, thanks for your help and Tina you run a tight ship!

Awesome weekend!! Not good at the narrative part so will have to leave that to others...but it was great. Saturday we travelled with Tim leading and Crazy Jimmy tail gunning...enough said lol!

Of all the pics, I think Jimmy grinning with mud & grit in his teeth was the best. Sunday I trail guided greens for the first time...that was fun and learned alot. Both days we had great groups with fun all around. The pics will pretty much tell their own story.

The Adams Suzuki Store has pledged to support us too. Aside from ADAMS JEEP, now we have THE ADAMS SUZUKI TOO. Got to love when a plan comes together. We have added an additional $100.00 to the pot.

What a perfect weekend for a great cause! Sat. had good runs on the greens and blues, a little carnage with Ryans springs snapping on both sides of the center pin and his rear drive shaft falling out, not to mention paul thinking that his CJ was a submarine at Sunken Treasure. Had a good time chillin by the fire with Nester, Emily and Ryan before heading to O'neals for dinner. Stayed a little to late with Paul and Anita

trying to drink them out of Blue Moon.

Sunday went great with lots of good black and red runs. I think the only carnage with this group wast Nester losing his front drive shaft. Not bad!

Here's the link to my pics:

Subject: Concern for a fellow Raider Mon Sep 17, 2007 2:56 pm

Anyone hear from Alan Wolfe? He drives the black JK, he had some issues with the rear lockers. We had a trailer to tow him home, but never heard from him. Just wondering. The Park does not store parts for JK yet, if anyone has parts like drive shafts, axles and the likes, please bring it ver to the park, some day you will need something and it would be nice if there is one already there.

You can recieve, but you got to give too!

The above also applies to CJ, YJ's and TJ's

I talked to him Saturday night not knowing at first that he was with us. He was not very happy kinda felt like the lost lamb. I talked him thru getting the C clips out. He put his jeep together that night and left in the morning. His had a long ride back home to MISSISSIPPI !!! in front wheel drive cause he busted both rear axles.

both axles, (*^$^) that's not good, i was calling around to see if anyone could get ahold of an axle, but no one had one or knew were to get one during the weekend. So, Clarke volunteered to take him back home on the trailer, and he was going to drive his Jeep back. But by Morning he was gone.

I feel for him, both time he came out, he busted with in the first 30 minutes. he should be able to take that back to the Dealer and get it fixed for free, there is no reason for why they break so easy. I had called him, but he never replied back. I will send him a message later today.

Thanks Nester!

No, he lives here in Maryland. I can remember why he was going back there though? But he did have a hell of a time with the Jeep, it's a shame too. He father like to wheel with him, but with all the brakeage on Saturday, there was not much I could do for him.

Ya broke both rear axles. I was able to tear the whole axle down to see if I could order all the parts from jeep Sat before they closed. Pulled the rear drive shaft and 4x4'd home Sunday mourning around 0930. By the way the JK's don't have c-clips. End up detroying the detroit locker and all the bearings and seals and both axles. Total damage about $1000.00 rough estimate. Trying to obtain some dana 60's from currie or maybe just getting some from the junk yard and bypass the ESP system. Anyways had fun camping with my father in law and enjoyed the cool weather. Oh, I live in Glen Burnie just waiting to transfer the title to Maryland. And jeep will not warrenty anything because of the aftermarket locker and 35" tires. But its all good i've got some pretty good hookup through jeep. Maybe next time i'll bring my rabbit's foot for good luck. Cell phone didn't work up there, no signal, sorry I didn't answer.
