Had a great run today with a great group of folks. From this forum we had:
Jordan Petry...duh!
Ric (big thanks to the organizer!!)
A10MileHusker
00Spork
CSL

And some other really great folks, in a nissan truck, nissan exterra, and a family in an awesome FJ

I got to take my father, mother and brother-in-law from Flordia on the run. I was a bit nervous about them having a good time, but they all had a great time and said a few times how everyone was such great company!

I don't have many pics. as I spent my time trying out my new mini video camera. I haven't figured out yet how to post video, but expect it soon.

Ric, 10mile and spork

Thank you guys for hosting the get together and taking all those great pics! I had an absolutely excellent time and can't wait 'til next time! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, I'm working on getting my photos up now but the computer isn't cooperating. I'll work on it more when I get home. We will be leaving in about an hour or two for KC. I'll post up when I get back. Ric, thanks for the keeping me company on the way home via the CB...my dad just wanted to listen to the basketball game, lol

It was nice meeting all you guys! Hopefully next time I come out I will have a bit more ground clearance as well as some armor...I was really scared about messing something up,

Ron Helmuth, thanks for stopping by! It was nice to meet you, you have a sweet 4Runner, do you have an SC? When you started the truck it sounded like it had a whine like it had an SC.

Ric, when I stopped to fill up before I got home I sprayed some oil on the gas pedal bushings and the sound disappeared! You were right, it was an easy fix,

Glenn, it was nice to meet you and your family! I'll post a link to the videos when I get home... It looks we have a few good ones of you,

Doug, it was nice to meet you and you have an awesome 4Runner,

Drew, you have a sweet 4Runner and I am envious of your SC!

I can't wait 'til next time...I would ramble more but I gotta get packed,

Im glad you and Dad had a great time. Let us know when your coming back

We got home at 7:00 this morning (Ks time) I changed the oil in the 4Runner and am getting ready to leave for St. Louis. The 4Runner made a 3k mile trip and didn't miss a beat,

Ric, I'll definitely let you guys know when I'm coming back. I had a blast!

Ill probably have my pics up late tonight or tomorrow.

very nice. Be Safe

Nice pics, looks like a fun day.

Is that Athena in the purple FJ?

yeppers, her and Bill are super cool people.

Great Pictures guys!!! I had such a great time and Jordan, it was great to meet you. You ran your 4Runner beautifully!

Glenn, I LOVE that first picture! Very cool! Let me know if you get your videos uploaded. Looked like you captured some great footage!

Ric, Thanks for gettin this set up. Awesome trip. Enjoyed grabbing a bite at the end and being able to see Estes Park again. It had been forever since I had been there.

Thanks to everyone else for coming along. It was great to meet everyone and wheel with you.

I'll get my pictures uploaded sometime tonight or tomorrow.

Here are the photos! Thanks!

Great pictures and Videos Jordan!
You got some great shots!

Thanks! You took some great shots as well, I didn't take all those...my dad took most of them!

Thanks! I didn't get many since I was lead.

That's the good thing about being a passenger - own personal photographer!
