2019 SoCal Fall Rally

[DanielsCousin]

Another awesome rally for the books! It's always a pleasure seeing those old familiar faces, and snouts (Hi Norris!), and seeing new ones for the very first time. Here's a couple photos I took over the weekend. Didn't get to take as many as I normally would due to all the fun, food, and drinks I was having! This is my first post in a couple of years on a forum so hope this works out
Obligatory group shots of all the vehicles in attendance out on the dry lake bed:

Hanging out with the locals:


I'll post a couple more shots later!

Glad I went my tent to crash! Again, that 7T worked awesome!

@DanielsCousin: So Great to meet You Too! Thanks for the Pics of THOR! Yes, the bed of THOR was scrambled eggs after several attempts on that hill - Great Fun! I should post a pic of the extra 5gal Jerry Can I had strapped (briefly) to the bed of the truck - totally beat up after that

We stumbled upon some squatters on this Flinstones era abode. It looked like some kind of B.C. crack shack:

Back at camp making good use of the wood saltydeuce donated:


Some night shots to wrap this one up. We have a quick group shot of the muscle, my Pathfinder right as we're getting ready to head out and a shot of the desert as everyone went home.


Can't wait for the next one!

Those are some awesome pics! I might have to print a few of those pictures and use them as wall art at my house

A couple more from the cutting room floor for good measure

One of the locals, FastNova strongman competition tryouts, and True Knight with his Agent Smith impression:

That pretty much does it for my photos of the event. I'll make sure to snap more next time around!

Here's a few that I have.

Here's the younger generation fighting with a tire. Notice: True Knight throwing his hands up in frustration. The folks with a little more callous on their hands have to step in, grab them by the back of the collar to show them how it's done.

 

[True Knight]

Ha ha I enjoy your skewed description.

And I’m glad I can still be considered the younger generation! Ha ha

 

[FASTNOVA]

I meant you were frustrated with Rigo struggling with the tire, but if you want to me to refer to you as part of the younger generation I need to put myself in that group too.

Well shoot. Apparently I should have been paying more attention in this section instead of trying to do all my research in the hot rodding and general 5 ton section. You all were pretty much in my back yard. I'm in North Edwards, about 45 minutes from Barstow/Yermo area. Looks like a fun outing. Would have been nice to meet a few guys and talk a little shop since I'm new to the 5 ton game. Well, if anyone ends up heading up the 58 sometime and wants to stop for a frosty beverage, hit me up.

The next get together is in April for the Spring Rally.
I found a few pictures of the first nights campfire. We stood up a pine tree on end and this made for a really tall fire

 

[1Sinner]

That's awesome. I'll definitely pencil it in for april.
