1st Annual NOR-CAL XMas Tree Run

Hope you guys have fun. Badass is a good way to start.

 

Sorry to hear man.

 

I always have an swr with my truck for the record. My swr is actually 3... Fml

 

Damn Gina! That's terrible lol

 

Damn it's early.

 

Lol i know right ive been up for about an hour

 

I HAVENT SLEPT!

 

Hey for anybody meeting us at the Middlecreek campground, we're making good time, be there in 15 min.

 

Running late, don't wait up at the campsite,

 

Broke 90k on way back! Good times guys and gals... Post up a pic of your tree decked out should be part of the tradition

 

Trip report?

 

We stopped by this rock outcropping on the way down, and I got these sweet panoramas:

A few more pics to come...

 

Yeah, great time out there today. It was awesome to meet some new members and families! Taking Huston on his first trip was great! He never really fussed in the truck, and slept the whole way home . Loved seeing all the little ones enjoying the woods. And that SAS 4runner (Jerry, yours is alright too, I guess )

And it's not decked out yet, but our scrawny little Charlie Brown tree fills out its space nicely. I hope we have enough decorations...

 

Nice budman, glad to hear the little guy did ok in the truck. He was surely a well behaved little man we are gonna do the decorating tomorrow, but I'll play:

 

Sorry I had to cut out early, I had a mini mud slide at the house to deal with. Toughest driving all day was getting up my driveway! Here's a group pic I got. Should have the tree decorated tomorrow and will post. Great to meet everyone, Merry Christmas!

 

Hey man, was good to meet you. Hope your mud slide thingy gets better Sounds like a blast.

 

Im jealous....but I love my black tree..lol...glad y'all made it home safe

 

Home safe and sound! Epic day all around, thanks to all who attended. Such a great turnout, and an awesome time! Johnboy and Budman, you two might be the only ones with trees that actually fit inside the house! I just dragged mine into the yard, and it's above the second story on the house! Jason just texted me literally the same thing. Taller than the roof! Oops... They looked so little out in the wild

For all of you who headed home early, we had a pretty eventful 2nd half of the trip. We got pulled over by the rangers (well, Steve, the guy in the Jeep did, go figure . But no ticket, just couldn't see the tree permit.

We did some fun wheeling, met a herd of Elk, forged through a hood-high puddle (well, Chris did...)

And then it top it all off, Jason managed to get stuck on a STEEP slick, sticky, peanut butter muddy hill climb. We spent about an hour getting him out, epic recovery including max trax, winch and snatch block, and a chainsaw

No pics on my end, but Chris documented the whole affair, so we'll have to wait for his record.

Thanks again everyone for coming, great trip, and we'll do it again next year. Pics to follow.

 

Sounds like a fun time!! I bet it's nice to actually use all that recovery gear! I'm in next year gf or not.

 

Yes yes yes!! So bummed I missed the back half... Grrrr. Happy wife... Next time.

And yeah, as far as the tree, I just figured yall had like 20ft ceilings haha.

Big thanks to Anthony for pulling this together.
