Expedition Leader
Completed: Summer Sizzle 2006
It's official: this is going to be an annual event, the Summer Sizzle. What a blast.
This event is done: http://expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1594
Attendees:
- Me and Brooke, Jeep Wrangler (TJ)
- Aaron and Colette, Isuzu Trooper - datrupr
- McVicker Crew, Snorkeled Disco - McVickoffroad
- My dad, mom, Greg, Samantha, and Christy in the uber-cool Range Rover
- KP and Scorpion Sting Stone, Jeep Wrangler (black, no snorkel...)
Most desert critters are nocturnal, and I can't call myself a desert rat unless I don't start my festivities until dark as well. That's why I set this up to start the trail about 5:00 pm, and drive out after dark. Plus we got to enjoy the fading sunlight and the wild colors on Four Peaks, Weavers Needle, and the Superstitions. Blessings, blessings, and blessings.
I was happy about these things:
- Mcvicker crew showed up just before we started
- Two buddies from "my band" came with guitars
- We stayed until 10:00
- Everyone was cool
Impressed with:
- Everyone being cool about the late day start and night run
- Aaron tackling some wicked lines in his Trooper
- Plan worked without a hitch
- McVickers brought their baby
- My dad showed up ready to play on some hills
Special thanks to Wil for calling me and setting me straight about the hours for the area.
More special thanks to KP and Scorpion Sting Stone for the musical entertainment. Celebrating life through rock-n-roll...and a campfire...and travelling a dirt road.

I've got to save some for ol' JPFreek magazine....August 1st. I'll shamelessly post when it's out. :ylsmoke:
Thanks again for everything. I thought that was fantastic.
