Thanks, Brad for the ice creams. The boys and I really appreciated the treat. We were thinking that maybe you should change your screen name to the Ice Cream Man. We hope to see you again.

Thanks :chowtime:
Braden, Courtland, and Guy

About 60 there. Mostly from Saturday AM before we all rolled out. Just random shots of people enjoying the morning.

There were certainly people having fun. That is great. But I didn't run into a single jerk - not even close.

Naw, I was just giving BBG a hard time. It really is a great group to travel with.

We still don't know the whole story behind BBG....we just filled in the blanks while we were hanging out at the tiki bar....:xxrotflma

I'm glad that Fat_Man and Big_Geek made it back to Arkansas okay. That's a long haul, thanks for coming out. And I thought my 8 hour drive was long.

Hey, did any of you late sleepers get to see the sunrise on Friday morning? It was pretty nice.

 

[Wanderlusty]

Thanks for you and Big Geek driving all the way out for the event. It was a pleasure meeting both of you. Next year again??? :wings:

Man, I sure hope to make it next year. That was unforgettable. Dan and I are actually hoping to persuade the wives to make the trip next year, too.

Oh, and thanks for the ice cream!

Expedition Trophy

Expedition Trophy!

Well after 12+ hours of travel and 4 airports I made it home safely. I can't tell you how good a warm shower and cozy bed felt! I'm sitting here at work already dreaming of my next trip. My two objectives for this trip were to meet new folks and attend the Trophy. I can proudly say that it was a successful trip. I have to say that never have I met such a great bunch of folks. It was a true pleasure to finally put faces to names. If any of you make it up to Eastern Canada or New England area please let me know. I'd love the opportunity to show you arround my part of the world.

I also want to say thank you to everyone for organizing such and incredible event even for spectators. I want to specifically thank BajaTaco for going out of his way to make my travels in Arizona enjoyable. Once the the Trophy and overland route were over a small group of us (BajaTaco, Redline and tdesanto) went on to Montezuma Castle National Monument and Montezuma Well then drove the Broken Arrow trail at sundown. :safari-rig: Such amazing places not to mention driving skills. After seeing how the Adventure Trailer performed on Broken Arrrow, all I can say is that I'm a true believer! Amazing products. Again BajaTaco I truly appreciate all your efforts! :clapsmile

I believe it was Jean-Pierre (J-P).

For those wanting to get a blacklight like I had at camp to find scorpions, I bought mine at this link.

Too cool. I've got some funky pics that I'll try to download but the quality is probably lacking. I'll know tonight.

Things I learned at this year's Trophy:

1. Primitive camping in the desert is AWESOME! (Thanks Fat_Man)

7. Sometimes driving a little faster improves your ride through rough terrain (Thanks Windy)

Glad to be of help! (drivin's fun!:rally_guys: )
So glad you enjoyed our lovely scenery!:iagree:
I certainly hope to see you guys (and your wives) next year!

Yeah, I was only able to catch up to you guys when you came to a stop! You can drive the heck outta that truck.

Now, for next year:

1) convince wife to come
2) let HER drive...she also likes speed....
3) learn to time ourselves better in the nav challenge
4) collect win

Ok, with the stiff competition #4 may just be a pipe dream...but ya never know!

The cow is the one, Pete.


Question: did anyone find my torpsnart? It's red with a lever in the raised position. I left it at camp 1 somewhere.

............Question: did anyone find my torpsnart? It's red with a lever in the raised position. I left it at camp 1 somewhere.

What the heck is a "torpsnart"? Sounds like something you should run away from if you ever come across one, especially if it's lever is up! :shakin:

 

[BMAN]

I didn't take anywhere near my normal number of pictures during the Trophy Event. If anyone got a shot of of my KK trailer on the overland route, please either post em up or email them to me. I will need all these memories as I waste away in my rocking chair in my retirement years. :shakin:

Thanks.

The only pic I got was at the start of the Overland route:
