Mineral Basin camping trip 9/10/10

If we ever do a toyota-only run, then we won't post it on here. I'd hate to see the drama that would ensue. Somebody would definitely feel left out, which is too bad.

I'll let you organize it Lee

I've been the only toyota before in a jeep group, and IFS too, and I sure got a lot of weird looks from the jeepers. I swear half of them had never seen a toyota on a trail before. I'm guessing most people become loyal to whatever vehicle they first owned. I started with samis, then put so many toyota parts on them that I realized I liked toyotas more than samis. Toyotas have gotten so popular that they're almost more popular than jeeps in some parts of the country (CA especially). It's bitter-sweet to me, because I'm so glad to see the love for toyota, but I'm kinda sad because I'm not very original anymore driving a yota.

I guess I'll just try to be unique in other ways.

 

[1TonTom]

Your toyota has a bed on it still, right steve? you a very unique STILL!

 

[sixstringsteve]

haha, true. I guess I am unique if I still have a bed. My bed's off the truck right now while I build it, but it's going back on as soon as it can.

Plus, my truck is a cleanish 1st gen, and there aren't too many of those.

Now ya know what Derek feels like every time we go to Moab

 

[sixstringsteve]

camel, will your blinky light help get my rig out of the garage?

 

[SmokinCamel]

Possibly. It pulled my old zuk's frame and body on the ground in the garage Or I can hook it up and park out in the street. Every now and then I'll give a yank on the winch. If you can finish it before it's in the street, you win. If not. I get to keep it

 

[sixstringsteve]

haha, that's motivation for ya.

 

[mike20]

so whats the plan, is the second group meeting up with the first group after are run staying at the same camp site, or are we having are own site?

 

[sixstringsteve]

That's up to you guys. I was hoping group 2 would join group 1 for camping, but it's your call. It looks like you and tomtom are the official leaders for group 2.

 

[mike20]

ok sounds good it would be fun to meet up as one. so how many vehicular devices do you have going in your group?

I'm going to guess about 12-17 in group 1 right now. But that guess may be a little high. I hope we find enough spots to pitch a tent up there. I imagine that quite a few people will be heading home for the night instead of camping, but i've been wrong before.

I've got about 5 friends who say they're coming, but they haven't RSVP'ed on here yet.

 

[mike20]

oh wow thats a lot, i think we have 8 but i cant remember

 

[redneckbronco]

Im thinking ill probly just go for the ride and come back that nite, bcuz Ive gotta be here at the shop for setup for the Show N Shine. N not to speak for Nick but i think thats what he was sayin also.

 

[sixstringsteve]

yeah, I imagined he'd be doing the same. is nick planning on going with group 1 with us? Is he back in town?

 

[redneckbronco]

Yea hes back, but not sure wihch group hes gonna go with.

 

[abhaulr1]
