[galen211]

Anybody know how to download a video off of Youtube?

[mlp141]

Anybody know how to download a video off of Youtube? No - just google it. I'm sure someone out there knows.

[galen211]

No - just google it. I'm sure someone out there knows.

My systems admin here at the office got it for me this morning. Let the games begin!

[galen211]

Got our first shovel-able snow here in State College yesterday, wonder how SCC is making out?

[devildog01]

Just a dusting in the Pocono's. Might actually be able to drive somewhere else besides just to the cabin.

[galen211]

Sounds like this is the weekend where SCC gets snow.

Prizes for this year's contest are in!

[Frank84]

Hats look great! Can't wait for SCC weekend!

[bbettridge]

I second that! Cool hats :-)

Putting new shoes on the truck this week so will be ready for dirt or snow

[LC Rover]

:(Looks like I will have to back out of SCC...the truck which I was going to borrow to tow my 88 is no longer available...I was really looking to have my 88 out at SCC...Have a blast....later

Is this much further than when you used to drive it from the Philly area to the event?

Sorry to hear you'll miss it. ?

[LC Rover]

I have to drive south down to Williamsport...then across 80 to the Pocono's...normal time 2.5...series time about 3.5 to 4...about 170 miles

[galen211]

That's a shame Larry, if I still had my Discovery I'd say meet me in Williamsport and I'd tow you the rest of the way.

You'll be missed!

[LC Rover]

Hop a ride with me and share the agony...sorry.... fun...4 hrs worth

[galen211]

Larry, Matt K. and Neil have all cancelled. Everyone else still good? We've had a few requests for other people that would like to come and I'd like to accommodate if I can.

[oscar]

Looks like I'm in.....

Work is a wild card right now. I have the days off, but there is some irregular stuff they can cram down my throat on a day off.

Barring that, I will probably have Hannibal ready.... (total re-wire and total fuel system replacement) I'm close.

Food wise I'll look at the list and figure something. Don't want to commit right now and then bail.

Look forward to seeing everyone.

[bbettridge]

Galen

Not on the list, but coming are:
John Bradshaw
Johns companion (??)
Murray the dog

[galen211]

Galen Not on the list, but coming are: John Bradshaw Johns companion (??) Murray the dog John's on the list? Didn't know about a companion and I don't count dogs. :)

[Dan The Man]

If there's any beds left put Kevin Barnes down for one

[galen211]

If there's any beds left put Kevin Barnes down for one

I think we are pretty overloaded as it is unless there are some cancellations.

[ollietruck]

I know this event is more than full, but, I was wondering if it is possible for my boy and I to come if we camp (We've camped in colder weather before) and are self sufficient. We are mostly interested in the Saturday drive. I know I'm a new comer and late to the conversation and completely understand if you want to keep it limited. We can always get our name in sooner for next year.

Hey Andrew,

Good to see you on here. In the past we have been OK with someone wanting to camp, but let me check with the powers that be and get back to you.

-Galen

I appreciate that. Thank you!

[galen211]

Evan says you can camp as long as there are no campfires and it's near the cabin. Of course you can hang inside until bed time and stay warm!

[galen211]

Evan asked me to remind everyone that we will be meeting at the Pine Hollow Inn in Canadensis, PA Friday night. Please try to be there at a reasonable time. I doubt this year will be like the last two years, but the sooner we can get to the trail head the faster we can get to the cabin.

On a separate note, I have a set of 4 snow chains for 235/85/16 tires or a close equivalent for the weekend if anyone wants to borrow.

[80-One]

ETA Pine Hollow 7.00/7.30pm

Will be chugging up Rt611

^I'm with him. Seriously, I'll be riding along with English.

Looking forward to meeting more of the group. We moved here two years ago from the Chicago area, living in Doylestown. I'll have my 10-year-old daughter along as well; she's a true Land Rover kid.

I'll have spirits in tow, along with some picnic-style food to share. Let me know what else I might want to bring.

Bryan

[billcooper]

Will try and stop by Friday night if I can, otherwise Saturday morning.

Also looks lie Patty will not be able to make it, so one more spot is available.

Bill

Bill

If you're coming Saturday you might want to bring a cot. Appears we are going to be full this year.


I will bring some cases of water and OJ for breakfast.

I'll also bring paper goods: plates, cups, napkins, etc...

[galen211]

Does anyone else plan to come Saturday instead of Friday night?

[oscar]

Alrighty then......

Spent an insane amount of time working on Hannibal the last 6 weeks.

All new fuel, all new electrical and a few other odds and ends.

Drove it around for 25 miles today and it seems to be liking it. No bad noises, large puddles, smoke or flames.

Sooooo....... I think I'll drive up tomorrow. All back roads as I don't want an 18 wheeler up my :p
An extra 10 miles for a total of 65..... I'm leaving early so I have plenty of "oops" time.

Wish me luck.

(I have AAA platinum elite deluxe extra plus with enough towing miles to get me home, in my car and up there in time to see what my Equinox can really do....... :rolleyes:)

[oscar]

Oh, and add me in for fruit smoothies for breakfast, and some pre dinner yummies for Saturday night.... (Shrimp, cheese, snausage, that kind a thang.)

Bringing da Ninja!

[pushngo]

Let me know what to bring and I'll get it today food wise or whatever.

The girls aren't coming one has basketball the other Gymnastics

Planning on leaving 3-4 so 6-7 arrival Dan, Kevin and Rob are with me too coming too I'll bring a tent just in case.

Bring whatever you feel we need. Breakfast items are always good, stuff to make sandwiches or food on the trail Saturday, etc...

[pushngo]

What's the dinner plan?

BTW I have a set of 4 V bar chains for I believe 265 or 285s if anybody is interested $150 I can bring them along

[galen211]

What's the dinner plan?



Sounds like a pot luck is the plan. Lots of choices from several people. If you want to add to that please do!

[devildog01]

I'm bringing 3 dozen eggs 3pounds of bacon 2 loaves of bread and a tub o butter.

[devildog01]

planning on leaving 3-4 so 9-10 arrival dan, kevin and rob are with me too coming too i'll bring a tent just in case.

fify.

[oscar]

Back home in one piece, other than my slightly worn out posterior. 130 miles in three days in a Series on a marginal cushion whilst folded into a pretzel does leave it's mark. I am happy and proud that the truck did so well. In fact it did so well that thugs attempted to palm it right in front of the cabin! Tisk tisk.....:p

I really enjoyed seeing everyone. Even though some of you are once a year friends, we are a community in a way, albeit a dysfunctional one, and it's a very special thing to me. Now that I have a working Rover I will try to make it to more events.

In a bit I will take all the pics I took, and the ones that Brian took of my truck and gave me, upload them to flickr and post the link here.

My deepest sympathy to Bill and Molly (don't know if you are here). I wish you strength and comfort in what ever way you can get it. Tonight I raise a glass for you.

[devildog01]

Big thanks to Evan. There is no place like scc. Thanks to Galen for the game and prizes. As much as I loved battling 3' of snow and getting back to camp at 5am it was really nice to adventure around the whole property again. As always thanks to everyone who brought great food. Jeremy's muffins, Jill's lasagna breakfast, John's chicken pot pie, Randy's ribs and Oscars smoothies. Always a great time. Already looking forward to scc 2017.

[oscar]

Having lapsed a while, I apologize but don't know the usernames here......devildog? Who you? Don't recognize the motor.....

And yes, big thanks to Evan.

[devildog01]

It's Brett. White D2. Sexy and flexy.

[oscar]

Oh baby!

[rvrsrvc]

This thread is useless without pix......please?

[pushngo]

Don't need pics if you attend.

How's the new camper...............pics

OK, lets see if this works...... the pics I took, and the pics Brian took of my truck.

Fantastic weekend as always! The big loop on Saturday was a blast and something we haven't been able to do for years. Let's hope for a little snow next year, but I'm not complaining about the lack of it this year.

Galen,
Those pictures are great and they really capture the spirit of the event, including the work in the kitchen. Series trucks out in the woods look sooo good!

Thank you so much for the azalea plant in memory of my mom. I got to the hospital just after she passed but my son said she went peacefully. I've been following the pics on FB. Looks like y'all had a great time.

Molly

[ollietruck]

I wanted to say thank you to everyone for makeing Ollie and me feel very welcomed and part of the group. He had a wonderful time and is already talking about going back next year:). Thanks again to Evan for the use of the cabin.
