Matt, actually I think I might take you up on that. I'd like to see up close and personal, how the new 91 is coming along. LOL...I've dealt with just about anything and everything that can and will go wrong with a 91 XJ...LOL. Plus, helping you out wrenching on your Jeep will keep me from going out to Walker this weekend and possibly tearing mine up...LOL. Alex and I did a run to the Lynnwood P n P and I scored a set of gray seats out of a 91 Laredo. They are so comfy. They've got some funky stains on them but hey, it's a wheeling rig not a show car. Other than the stains they are in perfect shape. Let me know what is a good time and day to come over....and where your house is.

This many pages is typical for a Wheeling run thread that is scheduled for more than a month out. Especially when it's a cool place like Elbe that lots of people like going to. The campout thing is knda a first for the guys from the Cherokeeforum group. I know this campout is pretty much guys from your High Life 4x4 group but, a lot of us are Cherokeeforum only. I see this being a really good time for all!!

I just looked at a 10 day weather forecast for Elbe. Rain and snow showers mixed, today. Pretty much rain or cloudy all the way out to April 26th. then, it's rain and snow mixed again. April 27th says sunny but the high for that day is only 53. Low is 34. It's looking like will still might see snow at least in the shady spots for our Elbe run.

Everybody be sure and bring your favorite axe, hatchet or thomas hawk. Sometime during the weekend we will have to have an axe throwing contest. I thought I read a few pages back that there are shooting areas near the Elbe OHV area as well. just a couple of fun things to do that I know of that go right along with wheeling and camping.
