Chris' aka SS Rally pics and report

Hey guys,
I just wanted to say thanks to all the members who showed up this year! I had a great time even with a few carb problems. Haspin was a cool place with tons of muddy trails with difficulty levels ranging from mild hard packed dirt to insanely deep holes of mud and slop. There were some serious crazies there outside of our group too. Some felt inclined to ride their trucks or 4-wheelers at odd hours of the night while others set off dynamite. It was a wild couple of days and money well spent in my book. I am hoping that all these great pics from members and one member's G/F will spark more interest in the Second Annual SS Rally in 2006.

I was very please with the way my Mog performed aside from the carb. It was the first time I have ever driven it off road and it did really well. Next year I will have all the bugs worked out of the carb and will probably have some nastier tires on it too. Only one hole was too much for it. Even if I had my snorkle on there it probably would have fubar'd something bad. It was deep and had a nice soft bottom. You got to love thru-the-floor pedals so the water comes pouring in around your feet. I will have to take a measurement tomorrow and see exactly how high the water came up. It was an inch below the intake and I didn't even have the rear wheels in yet! Rich has a good pic of it on his post with the bow wake.

Here are some photos from camp and of member's vehicles:

The Haspin Hilton is the remains of an old casino project. The law fell thru and they abandoned the project. It made a nice place for me and Jess and a bunch of pryo crazies to stay out of the rain...

The last pic is supposed to Jess, not Jee, sorry buddy...

Tooting my own Mog horn here...

One last pic of the Mog

A pic of Stretch's Willys known as tripod. Look closely at the tow bar and you will see a bend. Stretch, Chris, and Brian were out wheelin when the tow bar dropped down into a ditch and jacked the whole front of the flatfender off the ground. Yikes...

Now for an inside joke quote of the trip, "Hey Audrey, show us your :blush: and bring me a $%#^ing beer!" Made by our neighbor Kenny. Nice guy, I think we have him talked into a deuce and he has me talked into a Suzuki 400 4-wheeler. Thanks for the ride man.

That, and, "There I was, minding my own business, reading the Bible, and this guy came up and he stabbed me!!!" :smilewinkgrin:


If you look at the picture of the Haspin Hilton you can see on the far left corner Chris and Jess' Terror Dome! [^] That tent coulda fit 12 people, it was HUGE.
