Rear diff Saturday morning and it ended up being a CV Saturday night. Great event.

How goes conclave? Wish we were there also hows the rain?  

Who cares about rain when you are in a giant tent eating some of the best ribs I ever had, drinking beer and whiskey and getting free shit? Rain ended right after dinner and we went out on the trails again.

so besides you breaking your diff and cv, dana rolling his 90, and mike the shop boy destroying that shit box that should have never made it to 2013, what else happened? where are the pics?

jeebus that last one doesnt look safe! lol. you camped up on the lake I see. that was the family camp last year we got yelled at by Justin for being to loud when we went to visit.

Great trip!

All in all the atmosphere was a lot less contentious this year.  (Nobody went to jail...go figure... )  I don't know what happened with the crew in Camp 5, but someone told me that there was almost nobody over there.

 Did anyone get pics of the carnage that Fenderslayer's friends wreaked upon the D1 that Justin has had him slowly building up over the last year or so?  It looked pretty well destroyed, and I know it had huge body damage with broken windows down the passenger side, plus a broken trailing arm.  (I hear Justin used a bunch of soft shackles to secure the rear axel to the truck (not kidding) so they could drag it back to camp.)

 Mike (Fenderslayer) apparently wasn't even with them when it happened, and he understandably looked pissed Saturday morning. (I can't blame him considering he had just replaced the rear diff Friday morning so he could wheel the truck.)

I jokingly suggested to Justin that he just go ahead and use it to do a rollover recovery demo. He laughed, but definitely didn't seem too amused as they winched the truck up onto one of his trailers Saturday morning...

Otherwise, the most exciting incident of the event seems to have been Dana laying his D90 over on it's side. I'm sure you've all seen the picture Zack (from RN) has posted. Here's a shot of the recovery...

My Kentucky buddy. He doesn't know me real well yet so he still likes me after the weekend...

"Muffin" had his lovely gf drive down to spend the weekend with him then decided to drive home 2.5 hours with a goat...

So I guess that truck wasn't quite as stock as he said it was. Anyone remember his name?

That was Alex and his gf, Emily. I simply referred to him as the "long bearded, tattoo'd f*ck". ;-)

Super cool couple with the same mindset as me - let's wheel!

His left rear spring fell out twice on this trail and he also pushed a tire off the bead. It made for an interesting trip across "Death Valley" (a black trail according to the map).
