Many thanks to all the fine folks who helped make this event such a blast.
Paul Cook for coming all the way from Texas to demonstrate the capabilities of the new Dodge Power Wagon, sharing a wealth of knowledge and judging the truck show. Hope he gets his winch cable fixed soon.
Tim Holloway for just being Tim, being the only parts vendor in the swap meet, diving into "The Hole" and coming back out (pictures don't do this thing justice), and of course the winner of the "People's Choice" award. He had alot of people saying "Gotta get a Locker in my truck!"
Todd Somers for writing up the event for the PWA and judging the truck show, and to Preston for volunteering to be the official photographer.
Rob Blair for posting such awsome pics so soon!
Bob Cocivi for demonstrating such spirit and enthusiasm while burrying his Range Rover in the first mud puddle. He broke a front axle and took it in stride.
Nick Kidd for bringing the swivel frame (its the red truck in the first mud puddle). Fortunately the truck has the differential breathers plumbed up above waterline. More pics to come.
Terry and Linda for bringing scallops in bacon, raffle prizes, and taking lots of pictures. You missed a helluva trail ride Terry!
David and Kathy Hibberd for coming all the way from Cape Cod, buying a bunch of T-shirts, and winching the swivel frame out of the water.
John S. for bringing the only W series truck.
Joel Folman and Melissa for the lesson in trailering.
Don Townsend for bringing the awesome WC half ton from Maryland.
Chris Wetherell for showing the really young guys the ropes of winching and driving a Power Wagon.
Jim Murdock and Scott Smith for bringing the Frank Irons built PW and then leaving early with it so I could have a chance of winning an award!
To my wife Marguerite and Son Nick for all of their help and to our friend Deb Strouse for all the cooking. And to everyone else for showing up and making this such a great event.
I can't wait till next time!
