OEX Iceland Trip

[sboada]

One of the guys on Discoweb posted some info and pics from the recent OEX expedition to Iceland. Pretty cool stuff, and thought I'd pass it along.

You have to register to see the pics. Some harsh language over there compared to here too, so beware if youre not into that kind of stuff. I dont care personally, just a FYI deal.

The first page on the report is not worth reading.

Turned me off so much I didn't proceed to any pictures.

Enough to convince me I don't want to travel to Iceland with these guys.

Iceland yes...these chumps, no.

 

[sboada]

Yeah, a different crowd over there.

In any event try this link, this should take you to some pics, sans commentary...

Yay for sboada, you saved this thread. :wings:

Wow...that little foray was enough for me to never go to discoweb again. It makes you really appreciate the gang we have here on ExPo!!

Damn you guys are sensitive, it's just friends giving each other a hard time in good fun. I guess your wheeling adventures are like Church Quoir tea breaks? If you call OEX "chumps" then you truly are a lost babe in the woods.

I think they were referring to the dwebbers as "chumps", not oEX.

I am sure anyone who has had any experience with OEX can attest to the fact that Bruce is a professional.

I think there are ways to have fun on a public forum that aren't so "casual" but that's just my opinion. And yes, it was the dwebber and not oEX it was directed at.

Regarding the photos, they are sweet!

Hey guys, I was on that trip. I just returned Sunday. I know the two guys (probably just Garrett, no?) who posted and despite the stupid, arrogant, adolescent remarks they make on disco web, they aren't bad guys.

I have looked several times on d-web after hearing them talk about harrassing each other to see how other forums work, but don't want to register.

The picassa web link has like four hundred photos that are all good. I couldn't have asked for a better group of guys and girls to go with. Bruce is above and beyond first class. I look forward to going on another trip.-Charlie

Geez, I hope I didn't kill this thread. Does anyone have any questions about the trip, the trucks, etc?

 

[garrett]

Yes Dweb is a different animal. Sorry if the link made a bad impression, but as always people are different in person than their web persona.

The trip was a sucess and we plan on running the trip twice a year. Once in May and once in October.

Again sorry if some of you got the wrong impression and we know enough to keep content here more professional.

Cheers~

To add some clarity to my original post.

It wasn't meant as a criticism of OEX as a company.

I realize that OEX has no control over what their expedition participants post on the internet. As we all know peoples face to face personas can vary from their internet alter egos, and this seems to be the case here.
