Anybody got any plans for the weekend. I only got about a year to the next deployment so I would like to get as much wheeling in as possible.

Brandon, pick up a piece of 1/2 or 9/16 steel rod at your local hardware store and stuff that baby inside the tierod then if you weld or whatever on the outside. that will make it even stronger.
I am DEFINITELY going on that next Evans creek run. Snow or nor snow. What weekend are you talking? 14-15 March or 21-22 March? let me know so i can mark it on the calender and let the wife know waaaaay in advance so there is nothing to keep me from going this time.Evans creek, Baby!!!!! FINALLY!

SeattleCrwlr, Evans Creeek is down in the foothills by Mt. Ranier. I believe the last town you roll through before actually getting there, is Carbonado. Brandon can correct me if I'm wrong. He lives in Bonney Lake which is just a few more miles up the road.

So if we did it around the 21st could the Oak Harbor meet and greet go along with the Evans trip.

I was just wanting to address that problem. Could we possibly make the Evans Creek run on Sunday? The 22nd? I really want to go to the Oak Harbor Meet and Greet but, I want to go to Evans Creek, too. The Meet and Greet will definitley be on the 21st.

soooooo what you r telling me is it is a couple hour drive from marysville? hmmmm that would make it hard to drive home broken. and I wonder if I would be able to make it there to begin with. cool i think I should try to have the ol girl all suited up with new powerplant for that one for sure. and make room for parts!

uhoh was I talking out loud to myself again, I hate it when that happens
