Every year Texas Rovers displays their vehicles in the “Car Corral” This year we had 14 vehicles on display. We met at McDonalds 6:30am and started migrating over to the Fair Grounds in small groups. When Vangie and I got there, Christopher already had the coffee on and bacon frying . Some of us mostly hung around the corral and visited. Others spent most of the day doing the fair thing. I did wander over to the new car display with Vangie. None of the new cars got me excited.
This year we were in Corral C a great spot because of the layout and the shade trees . We had lots of traffic due to the fact we were between the Texas tail gate party and the Cotton Bowl. This turned out to be a great opportunity to recruit possibly a few new members.
We only made it to Gallup New Mexico today. Might make it home tomorrow. Yesterday we did Fins N Things. Lot of steep rocks to climb up n down. I had to cut out just before lunch tho lost the air springs on the back end of the G4. Coming down one really steep rock lost my rear air suspension. after Eric from Atlantic british checked all the fittings relays and such it sorta worked for about a mile. I cut out and headed for Moab and stopped in to Moab 4X4 Out post. They looked at it said could not see any reason that it was not working. As I was thanking them and starting my car up it binged once and the rear end raised up to where it should be …..must be a rover thing.
For all of you who went back early …. I did not win the discovery or any other prizes …..
I still have your tickets as proof ……
Vangie won a 200 dollar gift certificate for labor at some denver dealer . she traded it off for I do not know what with some one from Denver.
got pictures posted from the last two trails, Top of the world and fins n things. Oh ya, Dave Blair from BC took video of me and will put it on u-tube.
