And the guy that broke the 3 ft rule is still alive.. :shhh:
Heat is overrated... :flame:
Oh, to be young again.
True story:
Fri Evening I got bad to Danville to sleep and when I got to the turn off on Lynch Rd to go to the Hotel, I observed this poor OTR driver all crossed up in the intersection. I knew that if I simply stayed put, he would work it out, so I threw it in park and waited (not everyone was so nice to him).
I was rewarded by him rolling down the window as he passed going the other way, thanking me profusely for waiting. He pointed to my Jeep and told me that he has one like it at home. To prove it he presented a 6X5 picture out the window of his beloved Lifted XJ for me to admire...
You never know where you will meet an XJ enthusiast
Other than that, I was reminded that the guys I wheeled with 10 years ago are still fun to wheel with, and that the folks I usually see at AVF are fun to follow around too
I still don't get the obsession with NG Spotted Cow by out of State folks :dunno: Perhaps they can only find Coors or Miller Lite to drink (Brat Beer). Perhaps filtered Lake Michigan, and filtered Mississippi River water makes poor beer. Perhaps in Madison, we are spoiled with 5 craft breweries within a 40 mile radius and more if you increase the radius by another 50

1. Don't stop in East St. Louis on the way to Winterfest.
2. MWC is full of awesome people. Especially the guys from Pleasantville.
3. A warm couch in a trailer is more comfortable than a cold back seat in a truck with a blown out window.
4. You can break your rig climbing really big rocks.
5. A 5.3 in a 79 Cherokee sounds awesome and works well.
6. Breaking your ring and pinion early on Saturday isn't the way to wheel at winterfest.

This thread is awesome... I need to make it to wf.

I noticed but thought there was a reason that I missed some where on here. I missed the pop can more than the hawk anyways...

It's the little things that matter most...Like hub flange thickness.
I need to get my tires balanced.
I like riding shotgun more than wheeling, it's less tiresome.
Best folks evah.
A 0-degree sleeping bag would have done wonders.
Gas mileage really takes a hit when you run your Jeep to stay warm through the night.
Cans of beer make excellent IEDs.

I noticed. Thought about it on the trail when you were behind us on Rev's Run. I was gonna say something, but I forgot.

I was discussing this very instance last night with one of my caver friends. That was one of the most awesome things to have witnessed when that can came rocketing out of the fire. Self-propelled beer grenade if I ever saw one.
Re: Re: What I learned at WinterFest 2013
I had no idea they would do that. I just didnt want to hear dan bitch about me leaving busch beer in his cooler. Note to self, bring an extra case of cheap beer for next year.
Re: Re: What I learned at WinterFest 2013
