ACK! Sorry to hear about all the troubles. :banghead: John, hope you feel better and the rest does the trick, hate that I won't get to see you.

JC. I'm here in Cookeville now and have meetings with a client tomorrow morning/lunch. Is there any chance that I could pick up parts around here and get them to you tomorrow afternoon/evening? I can even help with the trailer/Jeep fixes if needed. I hate that you'd have to take off time from work or have to thrash all night to try to make it. Emailing/PMing you.

I made it to Cookeville after a very draining drive. Lots of highway for the first half or so and then all small windy back roads. Tiring as hell after a full day at work and all the other driving. I think the GPS might need some work on it's route planning. It did provide an amazing sunset over horse farms, some beautiful country with a moonlit foggy dusk and a cool damn all lit up at night.

Starting an official photo thread for the National with some pics. :)

C'mon guys, give us members that couldn't attend a lil' taste :cheers:

Hope everyone is taking lots of pics for us! :thumbsup:
 
I would liket to thank the comittee for another nice National Scramble event. Also thanks to Clay Osborne and Ken Adams for letting me drive your Jeeps. I really had a great time and hope to make it next year.
 
Mudmonkey, what time did you leave this morning? I was up at 5:30 and I think y'all were already gone...



I am certain pics will be posted. A good time was had by all. Jason just needs to be thankful he brings his maintanence crew with him wherever he goes!:D
 
Home safe & sound from another GREAT National Scramble. Left a different direction and time, but caught up with Mr. Beep and Big Walton on I-75N, South of Lexington and convoyed with them up to I-275, South of Cincinnati. Many thanks to the committee for putting on another great event. Great to see everybody, and a special thanks for the "most original award". Isn't it amazing how much time and $ one can spend to make something look (sort of) original. LOL.
 
Walked in the door about an hour ago. We had a FABULOUS time in spite of the heat, humidity all weekend, and vehicle damage on Saturday. It was good to be able to put names to faces and meet everyone. I picked a few brains for ideas about what I want to do next on my 8. I learned, apparently not the only one that didn't know, about Posi-loks (electrical connectors) from George and some special washers that will keep my hub bolts tight from Jake White, both of which I'll be looking into purchasing REAL soon.

I know A LOT of pictures were taken of rollovers (no one got hurt but Bobcat needed needed an adult beverage to settle his nerves), damaged vehicles, and the evenings get togethers.

It was funny that Jason won the trophy he made for breaking more than anyone else.

Mudmonkey, Catherine was wondering how registration went? Hope it went well.

Looking forward to the next time.

Home and unloaded. Good time as usual even if mine didn't run well. All the stuff I worked on did great it was the stuff I didn't work on that shut me down :banghead::banghead:. Frustrating after working so hard to get it there. But just seeing everyone was awesome. My buddy Jake had the time of his life and knows better how he wants to build his CJ7. Thanks all for welcoming him in like family. Thanks to Ken & Sharon for letting my son Cody ride with you yesterday, he had a lot better time then sitting around waiting for me to get the jeep fixed. he really enjoyed it even though he is not very talkative, I could tell by the stories he told me on the way home.

Going to be now, gotta work in the morning.

Want to thank everyone for a great first national for us. Also thanks for making our son and grandson a big part of the event even if we had to use a different Jeep model, they had a great time and enjoyed all. Hope all made it home safe and sound.
 
Just got back, and had a fantastic time this year.:thumbsup: we Had quite a few new faces there this year and they all seemed to be pretty great people.:wave: Hope to see them again next year. I beat the HELLO out of my scrambler this year but nothing too bad, was able to drive it on the trailer so I guess all is well. Did my first side flop:eek::cool: and hope someone was able to get pictures of it because it wasn't on the side but a second or 2 before I nailed the gas and launched It out, everyone at the top had to scramble out of the way.

Thanks to everyone who made this event possible, you guys did a supper job:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: and thanks to the Adams family another great feast along with Clay Osborn for the great pork meal:thumbsup::thumbsup:.

Awesome weekend, awesome people, awesome park, awesome trails, awesome band, awesome food, awesome time!

Made it to Cincinnati after caravaning it up with the Tobys and (towards the end) the Sullivans. It was hilarious seeing them pull up alongside us out of the blue. Only had to stop once for a loose rear shock mount that was clunking and found the upper nut on the other rear shock was almost off too.

Stopped at Toby's place to look at a trailer and see MORE of his cool toys... wow.

Completely wiped out. Bedtime.

No, no internet and cell phones were seriously spotty at best. I bought a specific application for my Blackberry specifically to try to upload pics from the park and tried to use the it the first night, it was just not happening. Sorry.

We left the park at 4:30 (3:30 central/local) and made it to Clemson by 10:15. Stephanie shoved us out of her room about 12:30 and I rolled into my driveway at 5:20 just as the rain started. Managed to do a quick rampless unload and get the Scrambler in the garage before it got wet. Completely wiped out, I hit the sack for a couple of hours before unloading anything more.

As others have said - a fantastic time and great companions.

More comment to come tomorrow when I can think better.
 
Awesome to finally meet many of you for the 1st time! What a great event! I wish my Scrambler would have made the trip a little easier, but it was her 1st time on the highway and the engine only has about 100 miles on it since rebuild, so I guess I should have expected to have some issues. Is a 360 really that difficult to tune properly? My dad had an absolute blast, it was his 1st experience to trail riding and a huge thanks to Bobcat and to Alex for letting us tag a ride with them on the moderate trails. Alex had nerves of steel and finessed his way threw all the trails and Bobcat loved that skinny pedal! Thanks again guys, really appreciate it. Next time I will plan to come up for more than one day...and will have a properly broken in rig to join in all the fun. I know it takes a lot of effort to put together an event like that, thanks to all the folks behind the scenes!

As always had an incredible time! Meeting new Scrambler folks and seeing the old.

Thanks to all that wrenched on my rig half of Friday night!
 
In the past years this event has been one of the highlights of those years for me:thumbsup: Each Scrambler has a story to tell :) and of coarse the caretakers of the 8s........ well if caretakers would be the right word...lol (right mule:-)) I sure missed being there with ya'll....

Who do I contact about purchasing a couple of shirts from the event?
