Just as it says in the flyer below. I have only missed 1 in the last 4 years and it is a great time to meet people and look at their rigs. I will definately be going to this. Hope to see most of you there! Posted on the calendar as well.

I went last year, but not sure if I will bother to go to the actual thing again this year and just donate in other ways.

It was kind of annoying to go and have pretty much everything there be only related to a Jeep.

Ideas have to start somewhere and thats where I get mine. If we have enough people represnting FR4x4 it will not just be a "Jeep thing... do you understand?"

Well there were more than just Jeeps there - but the vendors were like at least 90% Jeep stuff and I just wasn't interested in any of it. Not that I'm saying Jeep's suck or anything but it would have been nice to see some other vendors like Toytec or independent shops that do fab work for various brands, etc.

Not saying don't go or anything, I'll just donate in another way this year.

I went last year as well and felt good giving but was also dissapointed in the vender section... but hey I was there to give to the kids and not for my pleasure.

This year I'll be out of town so I will have to miss it or I would be there

It's close to S Kipling Pkwy and W Bowles Ave. The caravan leaves at 10am. I will be starting from the Southwest Plaza Mall. Anyone else planning on starting there?

I guess you could come up C-470 to the Kipling or Wadsworth exit, then North to Bowles.

:lol: Snow Posing by the snow hater!

I'll donate somewhere as always but I'm not a big fan of organized groups. Maybe an alternative would be the shelter Pathrat mentioned elsewhere.

Thank you Chris! If anyone wishes to participate in donating to another organization, I am going to continue collecting things for the shelter kids. Please see my post in the Wanted section...I put up a link to the Urban Peak wish list. I don't want to take away from this thread.

Funrover, Jim with the blue Tacoma (looking good, btw), Roostercruiser, SCRubicon, Gatemonkey and I.

Glad that four of us who are current members here could contribute on the south end and it was good to see a friend and old member.

Sorry, no pics but there may be a few video clips at some point.

AND the guys who were tail gunners did a great job getting us all in a line on the freeway. Both lead and tail were good, thanks to whomever.

Thanks for all of the pictures! Looks like Jamie's Dodge was there, complete with some new damage. Recent, too. There is a video on Colo4x4 that shows him rolling it, but I don't know on what trail. A new post, anyway. Recognized some of the other rigs, too.
