 PNW4WDA Trail Jamboree I'd forgotten all about it, but while driving up to our cabin today I passed the Pacific Northwest Four Wheel Drive Association Trail Jamboree at Jim Sprick Park on the Naches River. Today was the first of three days of trail rides so most of the Jeeps were already out by the time I drove by. It is quite an event and much of the proceeds go toward promoting our hobby. Something to keep in mind for next year, but you have to register in February for the July event. Plan on signing up early 'cause the registration list for the popular event fills up in just a few hours. Jerry

| Jerry, You didn't come and visit the ARB camp area. I saw your rig as you were pulling out of the park on Thursday (I think that was the day). I yelled but you didn't hear me. I was a rider for the event. No vehicle of my own. Steve

| I thought about whether or not you would be volunteering again this year. It was Friday when I stopped by the campground. I was on my way home from the cabin and stopped for just a few minutes to visit with Marcella, the elderly lady at the gate. I had both dogs with me in the truck so I couldn't take time to wander the grounds. As I was leaving, pulling up the hill toward the highway, I heard someone yell and even turned around to look as best I could from the drivers seat. But, with all the activity I couldn't tell where it came from or whether it was for me or someone else. Now I know and I wish I had seen you. Were you there all three days and did you make it on some of the trail rides? Trip Report! Trip Report! Jerry

| That was me yelling at you. I was a little late getting over to you. I was there since Wednesday. On Thursday, I rode along on the 101 class on the Clover Springs trail. This year, we had a new instructor for the class (Dave in his Land Rover LR3). No trail run on Friday. We drove the ARB JK up the 1701 to the intersection with the Barber Springs Road and returned to the campground. The ARB BBQ went well as usual. Saturday, I started out on the Rocky Saddle run, but the rig I was riding in started overheating on the lower part of the trail, so we pulled out early and headed back to camp. We were home by 11:00 AM today (Sunday). Beautiful weather and fun people all weekend long. Steve
