Just got home. Man..three straight days of wheeling is tiring, but it was a great time.

Thursday's intermediate group at Paragon was pretty much a perfect day of wheeling. No one got stuck or broke anything and we covered 20 miles of the park with little stoppage.

Friday was the UNYX/Nexterra run and that was a blast as well. We hit almost every green trail in Rausch and hit some blues as well. Several guys also tackled 'Pizza Rock'. Pics and videos to come!

Saturday most of us hit Paragon again with the Intermediate group. It was a lot different then Thursday, since we got a lot of rain overnight and that morning. We ran Trail 79, (Muddy Pipeline Bypass) which is a Blue 2, and that took most of the day. A few people got stuck and need to be tugged out, but of course we still had fun.

Last night was the raffle, with Jeff, Micah, Gene and Mike all winning prizes, and then the UNYX/Nexterra Party, with lots of free boozes flowing late into the night.

A great time and its always a blast to hang out with the Xterra crowd. You couldn't find a better bunch of people.

Had a great time.

Need to get some por15 on my sliders as the are now mostly rust color after yesterday.

I had a great time wheeling and a great time with everyone. Micah, you are right, this is a great group of people. Thanks to everyone for making this such a great sport.

I am beat too. I took a nap on a nice, sunny day, which I can't remember doing.

I can't wait for the next event.

Thanks again to you all for being such great people.

I had a great time with everyone as well. It was great to put faces and names to the online IDs..

Wow, what an awesome time! It was great meeting everyone, and the wheeling was perfect.

Pics will come soon!

I can't believe how much fun this event was, and even though kim hated the camping, she enjoyed the trails.

My damage report:
Scratched sliders and frame rails
One big paint scratch - right front hood/fender/door
Couple of gouges in the wheels and spring perches
One nice big obvious hit to right side A-arm
Missing some plastic fasteners from under the bumper.

Sounds like you and I will be shopping for the same parts (armor and parts to raise our trucks up to be able to take bigger tires).

Oh, Erik convoyed back home with me and Kim, and since our route just happened to take us right through the middle of Centralia, we ended up stopping to check it out. I'll post some pics eventually.

It took us a while to find it (you wouldn't believe how frustrating it can be trying to find a town that doesn't exist anymore but you know you're already where it's supposed to be)

And we ended up running into Brent and TJ and a few others there too as we were leaving.

Gene and I went looking for Centralia as well... it did take a while to find. But, we found some guys on four wheelers that spotted us through a bump so that we could drive to the crack..

Guys another great time had.Wheelin was totaly great.It was great seeing you guys again.

Some great highlights was

Awesome days of wheelin

Scott's chicken.

Tom's great cigars.

The party (even though it started out like a high school dance,but got kicking afterwards.)

Meeting other guys.

We kicked ass on the trails like Micah said with minor trail damage.And the weather held out for us for the most most part.We got that one hour or so that poured like hell but it cleared up nicely.Glad to see us (UNYX & NEXterra) to win a good amount of prizes this year at saturday nights dinner.

It was great meeting with the new guys I didn't know from the UNYX crew.The couple of guys (you know who you are. ) that are new to wheelin did great.Scott took us over a couple of great trails that normaly you would have had no reason reason to be on, and you guys kicked total ass on them.You guys listened to your spotters and wheeled very well.

But unfortunetly Jeff (cornick) gave me a bad disc or something,cause no pics were on it. it was a blank disc.SO maybe Jeff can send me one or something.I'll also post up what little pics I was able to take.

Can't wait to hang out with you guys/gals again at the back to school 2 run...

Gene, pm me your address and I'll mail one out. Some of the cd's were a little flakey so it doesn't surprise me.

Had a great time too! Went to bed at 6:30 last night and just got up.

Have some seriously mangled sliders and a HUGE dent in my muffler.

Hmm. I think I know where that happened on Saturday.

I put up some pics here: http://www.anthonydimattia.com/ecxc.html

they may load slowly. If anyone knows a better way to make a slideshow on a webpage let me know. Thanks!

the pictures are about 1.5mb, that's going to take a bit.

What about something like this?

Kept the same slideshow, but changed the file sizes. also fixed missing files.

should work fine now.

Jeff, my CD reads blank as well.
