Matt wanted a spotter, not sure if he filled his seat but we could ask him.
Matt's not going to make it this year for multiple reasons.

Man they are dropping like flies.
For anyone heading up use channel 10 on your cb if you need to communicate with us. Rocktractor is on his way up right now and will be camping somewhere near the spillway.

Rock tractor, myself, Brian, chris, ed and dennis (4 rigs) came out Sunday afternoon about 4:00 pm. That's just a guess because we were having 'burgers at robbs around 5:00 pm. Mike and Jeff left early enough to miss out on the $375 ticket the rangers gave us for sitting around a cold fire pit. They were going to give everyone a ticket but ed's passenger, dennis stepped up and took one for the group.
I'm the only one that had any real problems:
Friday - from loon lake to buck island lake - tore the drivers side, rear spring pack front hanger off the frame. Pulled the spring out and rock tractor welded it all up.
Hot engine all 3 days - still have to figure that one out.
That mini starter I got from IHOnly north worked flawlessly - even under extreme conditions
sat - buck island lake to rubicon springs and back to buck island. Going down to the 'springs - no problems, coming up the big sluice - exploded the front drivers side hub, replaced it and continued in about a half an hour. Rock tractor had to tow me through that deep section where it makes the hard right (left going down). Pulling into camp Jeff noticed my inside drivers wheel was bent out about 3 inches. Tried to hammer it back into shape but it wasn't holding air so the spare went on.
Sun - buck island to loon - high engine temps so I was keeping the rpm's up around 1500 - 2200 which uses a lot of gas. As my gas tank emptied, crap started clogging my fuel filter causing the engine to starve and die. Blowing air back into the tank has solved the problem for now.
Unfortunately, not a single picture taken. Hopefully some one got a picture of abe's 19" trout.
Kudos to Brian for a well built Scout - not a single problem
most definitly for me the most 'wheelin I've ever done in a weekend.

That sucks about the ticket
. I would have at least split the fine with ed's friend(sorry I forget your name) since I lit the fire Friday night.
Sorry we booked out of there early. My body was(and still is) on fire. Thats what I get for running my white ass hairy body around without wearing a shirt on Saturday. I literally look like a lobster. Aside from that Mike was ancy to get going as he wanted to drive home lastnight(and did).
As for damage I managed to scrape my remaining three fender flares. My fuel injection setup has an idleing problem so it made it hard to have full control and wouldn't "crawl" very low. Otherwise no problems.
Try to get what pics I got up soon.
