Default Short Notice!

Going out to Hollister Hills today with the whole family! I didn't think they were serious until I woke up today and the spouse said: "Aren't we going 4 wheeling today?" I guess the 18yr old son is coming too!
Well, if any of you guys make it out there today, keep an eye out for my 'Stock as a Rock' Cherishme

Nice 2 door you got there!

We need to get a group together from CF one of these days.

And BTW, the little wheeling spot I found, it turns out its illegal to wheel there. So nobody do it! A heard a couple people got tickets.

How did you figure this out, and do you know what companies? I tell ya, this country has gone to hell......drones over American skies.....Terminator won't be far from the truth in 15 years.....mark my words.

On a lighter note, here was my trip to Hollister last Sunday with the fam. My son David did most of the filming and pics. Sure, it gets a little boring in the middle, but just listen to the spouse throughout. It was her 1st time. May be the last. Be sure to watch the 'interview I did with her somewhere around 11 minutes in.

Devodale.....I have an add-on called "Do Not Track Plus". It's free (not $50 as I stated previously) and it tells you who is tracking you on every web page. Right now the add-on is blocking five companies from tracking me on this page. They are : Dedicated Networks, Google Analytics, Doubleclick, VigLink, and Comscore Beacon. These are all companies that have paid cherokee forum to be able to track us on this web site. How about a word from our President on this !!!

I'm from Vallejo. I won't be home for a few more months though. I have a '92 with some kind of lift of unknown origin or size. It clears the 31's well enough though. Can't wait to come home and hit the hills.

AM2(AW).....thanks for your service! I was in Yokosuka about 46 years ago. How did they handle the quake and suenomy (SP)? Were you there at the time? What can you tell us? I'm not far from Vallejo, and I look forward to wheeling with you when you return. God bless and stay safe. John (94xjjohn).

Correction : "Do Not Track Plus" is a free browser add-on for both Mac and PC. Sorry for the mix-up.

I'm on the USS George Washington, CVN 73. The ship was in port, and all hands were assembled in the hangar at captains call. The Old Man (skipper) was giving us our weekend safety brief, as well as telling us how well we were doing on our refit. In the middle of his speech about how a ship without a crew is just a big chunk of metal, the ship started moving around. It felt like we were adrift in the ocean. The ship was moving pretty good. We had a small tidal surge in the harbor, but nothing too major. The next morning, the radiation sensors started to go off due to the problems in Sendai. The navy gave us orders to make preparations to get under way. During the week or so that it took to get prepared, the base and the town of Yokosuka looked like a ghost town. The ship spent about a month or so under way. We called it the "Meltdown Cruise."

The Japanese people did an awesome job of recovering, and now you would never know that there was a major disaster.

Thumbs up Proud American

Wow...you spent a week or so in that radiation getting under way! I would have really freaked out. I was on the USS Boyd DD544. We shore bombed north Vietnam close in the river mouths so we got dosed with our own Agent Orange when we showered. That's not nearly as scary as is by a long shot. BTW us volunteer Navy vet's think you're all in a very special club (pass it around). I also look forward to wheelin' with you in a few, short timer! Please be sure to let the other sailers aboard know we love them (and you) and THANK YOU ALL for volunteering the service you're doing right now. Stay safe all, and God Bless you.

I just might check that out today in my stocktastic GC. I want new tires...but dont need them. So maybe I'll attack some terrain to "wear them out" and make me feel better about wasting the money on the new ones.

too bad they're only down about 50% treadware....

So I checked that out today and those little roads only loop around and come back to the street. I guess if you wanted to see how bullet proof your rig is you could bomb those..but they're really short






And I missed the turn the first time which is where I found that mud...in a empty lot between a taco bell and Safeway in Gilroy

GO STOCK OR GO HOME! Michelins, *****es!

Nice! Did you do any of the hill climbs? I've done all of those and pretty much every trail except the one that goes down into the valley.
