[devildog01]

Please sign me up with Ethan and Zoey.They haven't stopped talking about this since last year!

[galen211]

Would love to attend, but 2 weeks ago Trevor gave my transmission a death sentence and I'm on borrowed time. I'm afraid a drive to the Poconos would be too much.

[Frank84]

Frank - if you need a co pilot I'm in. Not going to drive the series up. Ill take my pickup up.

Sure - always room in my car

[qbenplaya00]

[qbenplaya00]

[bbettridge]

Sean,

Bill

[DiscoSux]

Sorry, green card required...

Can everyone make it up on Friday night by 7pm? If not, we NEED to know. Saturday is still an option if you can't make Friday night. We meet in the Pine Hollow Restaurant 100 feet from the Church parking lot.

Also, the payments have changed slightly. $25 per person, $5 per extra family members. The associated costs of this weekend have gone up slightly so this should help.

Sounds good to me! Any more details on Saturday night meal? What is needed?

Is this the main place (ROVERS forum) THE place to get info?

As Brett pointed out, I'm a noob for this event... Sounds like a great time!

[bbettridge]

No problem for me. Was planning on Friday as usual


Do we have a weather report for the camp this year? Snow? (Hopefully)

Bill

[Frank84]

Friday is good

[Rocksup]

I can also make it Friday night. Rob Paraschos

[devildog01]

Couple pounds of mac & cheese.

Yes.It's the only place.

It will be if we don't have to stop and help fix your busted rover on the trail.

Good idea making it 7pm friday night.That way Randy will only be 1hr late.

[devildog01]

Just fyi I'm bringing 3 dozen eggs, 3 pounds of bacon,a loaf of bread,butter and a gallon of O.J.

[crazyfish]

We'll need food for two breakfasts and one dinner. Bring ingredients if you cant think of anything and we'll make it into dinner. Spices, sauces and just plain food. We also need paper products and coarse ground coffee.

[bbettridge]

Bringing breakfast stuff, things for dinners both nights, and possibly even some liquid refreshment if that is permitted. LOL.

Got it - thanks. I'll get coffee and some paper products. I'll make a big pot of chicken corn noodle stew as well.

[mlp141]

What's the sitrep on the ground? I am coming up in my pickup and I want to make sure I can get in and out. It's a 2010 F150 4x4 so I'm sure it can handle everything. Ill be hitching Land Rover rides once were there but would like to avoid leaving my truck somewhere.

[Rocksup]

I will bring Marinated Pork Tenderloin (2), Potato's and Olive Oil

[crazyfish]

Dinner Friday night will be at Pine Hollow, Saturday at camp. All vehicle can be driven in and parked.
We always seem to have too much food, so bring a "normal" amount. Snacks to share, your own beverages.

[mlp141]

Ill bring some of my wife's amazing banana bread, a case of water, and some snacky stuff.

[Frank84]

I'll pick up some dessert items

[Disco96JSWB]

Jake and I will get there Friday but we will eat in the car on the way up because we won't get to the restaurant before 8pm because I have to work on Friday afternoon.

We spent the weekend working on the Disco. After 16 years there are a few things that are starting to wear out (in addition to the driver).

We are bringing a sausage pasta dish for Saturday dinner along with home-made fudge and cookies (oatmeal raisin and oatmeal chocolate chip), and some other misc snacks.

Jeremy

[80-One]

Heh all, Susie here, as in years past Mira & I will be making a pasta diner for saturday nights diner. I am bringing Parm cheese, & good bread & butter. We need some one to donate a salad & dressing to make the meal complete for everyone. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

[DiscoSux]

Good idea making it 7pm friday night.That way Randy will only be 1hr late.

I'll be bringing the white turd on Randy's trailer so, I too, will be an hour late. Rob will be following us. We are supposed to be leaving Lancaster at 4 pm "Randy time".

As I am a noob to this event I will retract my chicken corn noodle stew (still bringing coffee and paper goods) and will provide the required salad. I hope I can live up to supporting the pasta meal!

[mlp141]

Crapquest says a 3 hour drive for me so I should make 7. Naturally, traffic could suck.

[billcooper]

Have fun everyone. Would like to have made this but couldn't manage the entire weekend, maybe next year.

Bill

[devildog01]

An absolutely awesome time as usual.Thanks again to Evan for having us out.Also thanks to everyone who cooked.Always good food and lots of bacon!Only 365 days till the next SCC!

[sloanfiske]

for having us.

it was great to meet you all.

anthony

[Frank84]

Great weekend! Thanks Evan and to everyone that cooked!

[DiscoSux]

Wow, what a great event. I am just sorry that I have not made it until this year.

Little did I know when I paid the $25 truck fee and the $5 passenger fee that I would be the passenger! I drove my truck one time for 5 minutes all weekend! Jensen had an absolute blast.

Thanks to Evan for generously opening his place for the event. Much appreciated.

Thanks to Randy for the ride up.

Thanks to Susie and Nancy for all the work they did - with a smile on their face the whole time.

John - thanks for the winch lesson for the boys. Jensen learned a lot and your time was appreciated.

Bill - thanks for the work you do for the event

Shawn - thanks for your work as well

Brett - the Hot Wheels sleeping bag

Anthony - for the over-sized and comfy Dodgers poncho (don't ask)

Frank & Chris - for taking us out on the late night (early morning?) runs

...and Kasey. For showing me how a 16 year old girl can wheel a Disco. You rocked it!

I appreciate everybody's contribution to the weekend. It was truly memorable.

Dave & Jensen

[mlp141]

Ditto. SCC is always an amazing time and this year was no different. Naturally Even gets the biggest of thanks. Maybe next year I'll be brave enough to bring my Series.

Although, not unlike some pool schlub cut off the thank you list during a rushed Oscar thank you speech, I'm saddened by my absence of Dave's thank-you list. I can take solace, however, in that he didn't thank the dogs either.

[bbettridge]

Great time this weekend ( even if I didn't get to drive much, but had a good time as Kaseys passenger!). Good to spend time with you all.

As always, most thanks goes to Evan for opening up the camp again.

Now if I can figure out how to get all these kids to stop growing up and making me feel old. -:)


Bill

[80-One]

Thanks Evan for sharing your slice of heaven.
Great to see everybody.

Good to test the limits of your vehicles......I found that the standard OEM Avon RangeMaster 7.50 x 16s with 40 psi turn a 110 into a bobsleigh!

Cheers

Mike - is that you?

UGH! I knew I would not get everyone. I sincerely apologize. Being new to this event I am not sure who does what. I mean there are guys like Brett that, besides giving me 2/3 of a sleeping, contributed nothing to the weekend for me. His presence was not appreciated nor enjoyed. :p

Thanks Mike!

[Rocksup]

Thanks Evan and everyone else for great weekend. Look forward to seeing you all on the trails.

It was great to be right behind you and watch you "learn" the 110. Jensen and I were cheering you on as you figured out the magic combination of gear and throttle. Well done good sir!

Going "up" was the easy bit! Coming down I experienced multiple sections where "with no throttle, and the wheels not turning etc. we were still accelerating at 9.81 meters/second......thank you Mr Gravity!! You probably saw my tracks up the banks trying to keep in the fresh snow to slow down! The ladies thought it was all perfectly normal!

Somebody had to of snapped some pictures, at least of the impressive tie rod repair!

[80-One]

Hi everyone, Suzie here, just wanted to say "thank you" to Evan, & I hope you are feeling much better. It has been a long time since being at the cabin. It brought back many fond memories from the past when the kids were younger. Looking at Casy I am reminded how old I have become, but kudos to her for her excellent driving ability this weekend, as well as Jake, & Jensen...the next off-roading generation. Sean, I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to sample your chicken legs!!!! However the sat. meal was a great collaboration..Dave great salad. Thank you again everybody!

[80-One]

Trevor.......you wanted pics? This is an activity with the Mrs that was going on before arriving at the Pine Hollow!

Figure it out...

[DiscoSux]

ALMOST FORGOT!!

First rescue happened 50 feet inside the gate on Friday night!

Randy's rig with my truck on the trailer slid into a ditch. About an hour later after much winching, we got my truck, Randy's truck and Randy's trailer out of the ditch - all independently. Evan and I made great dead weight on the back of the trailer to hold the front off the ground during winching. John had control of the recovery and Murray kept us safe.

Poor dogs... :)

Nice! So what did Randy break?
Who was driving the International? Diesel or 304?

[Frank84]

He stripped the threads on the TRE on the pass side (HD rovertym track rod) and it fell out completely. Then the jam nut was, uhhhmmm, jammed on the TRD making it just that much more difficult to get it together enought to limp back to camp where his trailer was.

My college friend Chris was driving the Scout with a 345 and Torqueflite. Chris has gone to Rausch a bunch of times with us back when he had his green LWB RRC. He just picked up the Scout a few months ago in Wisconsin. It did well except for when I was driving it and I spun it 90* while only going 1 mph.

That's a shame, with Randy's truck.....I thought those RtE rods were supposed to be tuff!

Why were some of the others not able to run their trucks?
