March MORG

[Jantiz]

Ok, so I just got back in town (so nice to be back home). School in Maryland was a success but it left me with a serious case of the off roading itch, since there was no place to go off roading there) four months with no play time; OUCH. I wont make the shaver lake run since I just spent 4 months in the cold and the snow so not really looking forward to any more of it for a while, but I still want to go out and play some.

I noticed no recent posts on a March MORG. Was it cancelled all together since it runs at the same time with the Shaver lake run, or is anyone still planning to come out to play?

Luis I'm glad to hear you made back ok, it's been a long time!! Unfortunately I'll miss you at the MORG in March, will be on the Shaver Lake trip that weekend. There's some talk about a combined BOD meeting/over night camping/MORG in April which sounds like a lot of fun. Can't wait to catch up with you in person again.

[PCRover]

MORG's are never canceled as even one Rover can be a fun day at Hollister!

So far there has not been a lot of interest, probably do to Shaver Lake and the recent rains. Maybe we can drum some interest up with these posts!

Welcome back Luis!

Ditto on Shaver Lake! A few MORG regulars will be at this trip e.g. Brenton, Steven, me... April MORG looks good on my calendar. I also need to take pics of the rock garden in Hollister; need to plan for the Rubicon Ready Clinic sometime this summer and hopefully a trip to the Con in Sept/Oct.

C yah!

Ron not sure exactly what you're looking for but I have some pics and video of the rock garden. I assume you mean the one that is next to the frame twister, not the one in the gully to the left of the stair steps.

I'd love to head over to HH this coming Saturday, but I don't have my "trail rig" anymore. Probably the soonest I'll be out will be April's MORG in either the 109 or the LWB.

glad to hear you're back, luis!

[Jantiz]

I may still go out for a little while just to scratch the itch, even if it's just me. The April one sounds like a lot of fun. I will definitely have that one penned in my callendar. I may even convince my wife to take Snow White out also so we can play with both generations!

[esteban]

I can make it out on a "random" day, even during the week if you're interested. After Shaver Lake of course........
Welcome home!

[DDreager]

I intend on showing up.This will be my first morg, any word on the T-shirts and decals?

[Gotrovr]

some were delivered last MORG

rest of batches started flowing this week, sorry for delay

in the following pic, I've temporarily turned one of my vacant offices into the club merchandise headquarters

Glad to hear you're coming. I don't believe we've met yet so looking forward to meeting ya. What do you drive, any mods? It will probably be just the two of us since most people are doing the Shaver Lake run but I'll be more than happy to show you around our play ground. Let's meet at the usual spot by the Kiosk around 10AM.

[Jantiz]

Let me post one more time to encourage any other new member I have not met yet, especially anyone who has not been out to any MORG yet to come out and meet us at Hollister tomorrow. I'll have a fun day of trails planned out for you! Also any of the usuals that wants to join us, definitely try to make it out and help welcome DDreager to his first outting. I know Shaver lake group leaves on the same day, and next month's MORG is working out to be more like a large overnight gathering which should be a blast, but if you can squeeze in a little play time tomorrow, we'll have a good time together!

[Jantiz]

Well, looks like I'm the first one posting about today's MORG. I was very surprised by the turn-out. I was honestly not expecting as many to show up as they did, with Shaver Lake and all. Thanks Will for joining us today. We had many new members come and some prospective ones as well. I think a great time was had by all. We had fun, decent challenges (with the trails still wet and slipery) and a safe, sunny day.

Saw a lot of people taking pictures, hopefully some of them will make it to the forum soon! Again, it was a real pleasure meeting every new member I just met for the first time today. Hope to see everyone again hitting the trail very soon!!

[PCRover]

Good to hear you had decent turnout. If anyone has pictures, please post them or email them to me at webadmin@nclrclub.org and I will post them for you.

[Gotrovr]

Greg, my broinlaw was co-pilot and handled the photo duties, thanks to him here are a few. And yes it was great to see Luis after his long winter noreaster break.

BTW, I had a chance to talk with Park Ranger John for a few minutes and April MORG is shaping up to be an overnight camping excursion to the dark side (new park expansion across cienega road).

[Gotrovr]

here are a few more from March 2009 MORG

[Gotrovr]

a few more, thanks again to Greg

[Disco2Guy]

Good job on the rally call Luis, and the April MORG info Will! It's always nice to see new faces at the MORG. Let's hope the weather holds out for next month.

Looks like a couple of RRC's out there showing their stuff....

Anyone catch any names, so we can put photo to screen name?

BTW, my RRC now dead with fuel/starter issues...glad I didn't come, I'd still be there.

[PCRover]

Will, can you email those pictures so I can add them to the Website?

btw, Marin Land Rover was having their wheels event at Hollister that same day. Our groups passed each other on Fremontia Trail. Said hi to Justin one of the Instructors from Land Rover Experience Driving School and met Lee Magee (sp?)

Could use both; if you have pics/vid of one next to the frame twister, send me the link. Much appreciated; thanks!

BTW, thanks for the hooded sweat shirts - was waiting for me when I got back from the Shaver Lake trip. I have one from last year, and this year, ordered one for my wife. She loves it! Told her it's her dividend for all her support.

Hmmm, I can't tell if Luis' D3 is 2" taller or not...

No, he hadn't had time to install the hardware, no biggee, he didn't get stuck ;)

I had plans to take the LR3 one last time to the dealer for a final small list before it turns over 50k and didn't want them to see the extensions and give me any grief over them, since on of the items on the list IS the suspension :) They will be on looking proper with the new tires for the April MORG :cool:

[PCRover]

Let em know ASAP on this Will so I can post it on the Website if it becomes reality.

Hi guys,

I posted all the pictures I took in Hollister over the weekend on the link below:

http://web.me.com/antonioanguiano/Site_2/Photos.html


Gary,

You can download some pictures from there and post them on website if you would like. I will burn them in a CD a give them to you next time I see you. I also posted all pictures I took last year in our 2008 Annual Event at Hollister.

I know there are a lot of pictures but just browse through them.

I had a great time last weekend!! Look forward to see you again Ron.

[PCRover]

If you could zip up the pictures and send them to my email that would be best. If that isn't possible then I will get the CD from you.
