Big Dogs Main Jambo 2009

everything is put away finally and can relax with a beer and get ready to hit the sack. Long story short Great weekend! Thank you Joe for using your grandpappy's skills to wire all that shit together and make my lockers work. Don't worry about my finger, it will grow back. All wired together meant they worked but either all on or all off was much better than none at all. Mandy Thanks again for your wonderful cooking, wish I could have been there for the ribs. Kim and Jay thanks for the first aid help, the MD said you did a nice job, glad to get out and wheel with you again. Also thanks for running for parts while we were busting our rigs on Insanity. Von, Jon, Kat it was good wheeling with ya again. Really strange not having to go back and spot all the time. Looks like Jon you have a good capable dependable vehicle. Von each time i see that beast it gets better and better. Low point of the weekend was having to go get 6 stitches in my right ring finger, made up for itself because I won a Smitttybuilt 10K winch because of it with the hard luck contest. Sucks that the CJ busted before I got it to big dogs but better to find out here than down at the dogs. I'll research the tranny swap and have it back together in no time. Spring fling it will be even better than ever!

Awesome trip as usual! I needed it, it felt great to be out with who I consider my best friends! Thank you all!! Mandy fed us like you can't believe, it is just amazing what you do woman!! Full course meals in the woods!!! Asparagus, ribs, chicken wings, bacon, eggs, mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, corn - you name it we ate it!! Of course we had a good time wheeling too...BIG DOGS RULES!! The night run was fun as hell too and I even made sure we got a scenic stop. Let me just tell you that the pinnacle lookout at night is an unforgettable sight! Funny how the switch just changes from going 40mph up a trail KOH style to slow mo "star gazing" 15 min later hahahahah. I guess the 2 shooting stars I saw weren't very good luck because we got annihilated on Insanity. Matt popped a 44 shaft, I stapped my 8.8 3 feet from the exit, and of course Bill trying to sever his finger! The best was getting the opportunity to drive Bill's rig! That thing is the shit, thank you very much for the seat time! We were up Pensyltuckian in 40ish minutes. The pics and video are uploading now. Bill, the video of me snapping the shaft is pretty funny because we almost have synchronized "fuck"s hahahaha.

Some of my favorites:














Both rear tires in the air...hahahah

Had a great time this weekend as always. mandy I can't thank you enough, you are the best. jay and kim thank you for running back to camp and getting me the axle shaft, then a second time to get nick a shaft and BEER and shawn and rodger for giving me a hand fixing my junk. Pensyltuckian was iceing on the cake today, it was sweet how fast we did it. joe I can't believe you pissed youself, I don't think it was the trails that made this a great weekend it was definitely the people. It was cool riding with Matt, Conti and the rest of the moonworks crew eventhough it was only for a little while. Sucks, this was the last one for the year. But I know there are going to be some good times to come.

Yes thank you very much Jay and Kim - especially for the reload on the beer!! BTW Kim...I'm single now and I heard you mention 23 year old nieces

Broken axle...

Looks like it was over all a sick trip! Sucks I have a broken towrig/yota and trailer or else that would have been alot of fun.

And whats up with that one pic of the dude passed out, spill a beer or pissed himself?

we poured water in his lap to wake him up.

And tried to convince him he pissed himself when we woke him up but he wasn't falling for it. It was revenge from when he collapsed Matt's tent in Harlan hahahahha!

Mental note, dont fall asleep drunk near you guys hahahaha.

Especially if Joe is still awake!!!

HAD AN ASSUME ASSUME TIME, the one long day of wheelin was great. insanity was assume, i do want to hit it again and try the path that nick was on. always a great time. most of the great times are because of the people. thanks everyone for being there. NESTER, WE MISSED YOU.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME haha

Good to see you guys had fun. Bill WTF man you must like pain. Hopefully next year will bring more wheeling events for me.

Bill - That finger pic is Nasty...I was starting to brown out but I think I remember you on the mic at the bonfire. Also barely remember playing b pong, but I don't think I made a shot. I woke up with my legs hanging out of the tent over the trailer wheels. I guess I almost made it to bed. I was still out of it today...
My winch got a workout on sat. A yj in my grouo busted his rear pinion and I winched and strapped him off the trail for about 30 mins. Then we went down pucker and I ended up winching that Xterra and driving back up the whole way in reverse.
Von - thx for driving us to the bonfire. I was seeing triple by then.

Bill...I still taste those doritos...that was the best damn chip i had since those guacomole pringles. Rob - go get some Late Night Taco Dorito's AMAZINGGGGG

danny.no prob. buddy, i got to drive a nice jeep that is still in one piece

just remember nick, paybacks are a bitch

Crap! now I remember why I cut my finger. Never piss off the rock gods.

Great pictures Mandy! Oh yah, and it was a little depressing last night just eating a chicken sandwich!! I was getting used to all out meals. BTW I forgot to give you guys money for that!! Give me a list so I can contribute for Rock Run.

Looks like i missed a pretty good time hope that finger heals quickly bill at least i'm not the only one to pull a lugnut i mean nick

I had an AWESOME time as usual. Big Dogs is always a reminder of how lucky I am to be part of such a wonderful wheeling family. You guys are the best! Mandy, thanks again for such wonderful food. You spoil us.

I loved the trails we did this time. Pinnacle at night was a sight to see...although I almost broke my damn leg trying to get there in the pitch dark. I still can't believe you all left us. Next time I'll know to bring a flashlight.

Despite all the carnage everyone suffered, I want to go back to Insanity...but I want to go there first before I get all beat up. I love my Jeep but she sure as hell isn't built for comfort. Von, thanks for the right seat in the buggy. The more I am in that thing, the more I like it and I'm finally getting used to how it handles. Looking forward to driving it now.

The only thing that sucks about this event is that we have to wait until April for the next one.

Here is the link to my pics and video. Sorry it took so long to get them up. My computer at home is messed up.

LOL...all of mandy's good food must have given me some serious night vision because I was leading on the way back with no light somehow...good thing you left my Jeeps lights on so I knew where to aim

Without a light behind you or one in front of you, it was pitch black...couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Von walked right into the back of Matt's Jeep. I was standing right next to a Jeep and had no idea whose it was without feeling it. Unfortunately it was Matt's with no frickin headlights so I had to walk back with my hands out in front of me to get to yours without walking into it. It was kinda funny but I was cursing you all out the whole way up.

yeah, that was a blast.it was one of the highlights watching over that cliff. assume nice pics kat, i wish we had another day to wheel though it was not long enough. I went to bed to early sat night. next time i am bringing 2- l.e.d frizby's to play around with
