Anyone else doing the Georgetown to Uncle Tom's Cabin toy / food run on Saturday?

We finished our shopping tonight. We're also doing a toy/food run in Modesto tomorrow.

This year is pretty slim for some. If you can, let's get out there. Come hang out

 

Love the Flags! I can’t wait to get my shop so I can hang mine up. And thank you for serving. I loved most of my AF days!!

 

I’m thinking about going. I don’t think there will be much snow though.

 

Storm coming in Sunday, im about to take monday/teusday off so i can go camping lol

 

They are calling for 3’ of snow in Tahoe. Better bring a shovel and some really good rain gear!

 

@t.hornstra are you going to this?

 

I snagged a few toys. I'll be there just late, I've tied in with Karan @K_Sandhu and will be on HAM when I get close. I'm packed to play on rubicon for a bit too if time permits.

 

I’m planning on going. But I do not have any real comms yet. That’s in the works. But has zero priority until after Christmas.

 

Baofeng uv5r is pretty cheap for HAM and super easy to program. I found bundle online for like 50 bucks with extra battery long antenna etc. It's what I run, HAM uses line of site and repeaters with the proper PL/tone. CB is line of site.

I have a GMRS license but no radio yet. After that I will get HAM.

Toys for Tots run in Modesto. With 4x4 in motion.

These Jeep guys are on point. Nice rigs, very festive

 

I’m unable to go. My back is killing me today. I’ve had four spine fusions and a minor spine surgery called a microdiscectomy. So when my back talks I must listen. It’s embarrassing and annoying when I plan things and then cannot make it. For those who go, thank you for supporting our community and I hope it’s a great time.

 

Back issues suck. I hope tomorrow is a better day.

 

Thanks! I do too but having all of this rain means I’ll likely be stuck on the couch again.

 

Today was a blast! @Fernando @Don5352 @2BeersPlease @Speedo @CrashN'Burn @silvertep @K_Sandhu @waldeeeeen

Looked like a great turn out for the Toy Drive



We headed up the hill and regrouped at Stumpy Meadows.



Then a few of us headed up even further...




@Fernando got a bit out of shape




But he redeemed himself with some hammer down action.



Finally, we made it to a nice spot at Loon Lake, Gateway to the Rubicon Trail.



Jen and I stopped back in to Georgetown to stay at a little historic bed and breakfast.

 

So cool!

 

Some extra shots from my personal photographer, looking forward to another chance to meet up, hopefully I'll be able to stay a bit longer and show up on time next go around!

It was good finally meeting you guys!

 

Looks like a lot of toys were donated and a great time was had!

 

Was great meeting you too. Great pics.

Don't be a stranger, let's get out on the trail soon.
