Address: 4120 Dumfries Road , Catlett, VA, 20119

Times: 12:00 pm until ???

When: Saturday, October 4th, 2008.

There will be a Beltway Jeepers banner posted along Route 605 that will guide you his property if you have not been at Bob's in the past.

We are going to need a head count, so please feel free to Post here if you will be attending. All other posts will be deleted in order to keep this thread clean.

Here is how this event is going to work.

There will be no fee for current BWJ members and their family

For non-paying BWJ members, there will be a $5 per person or $10 per family fee in order to cover the cost for the food and drinks.

If non members would like to become BWJ members during the annual picnic, the cost for a new membership will be $25 per person or $ 30 for a family membership (3 user accounts max / jeep owners only).

We look forward to making this a fun event.

[H2_RECOVERY]

I'm there!!!!!

[TheYeti1775]

Yup 4th is better for us.

On the 11th, you have MilJeep's going away for Military Jeepers.
And I believe NoVaJeepers changed their Swap Meet to the 11th along with their Technical Skills day.

So cross members across all 3 would be hard pressed to do it all.

[notarubicon]

i will be able to make it with the family so me plus 3

[JeepinSoldier]

Im in plus 4/5. Nancy may stay home and do homework.

[Gonzowerke]

Susan and I will be there! Is the property closer to the 29 end of Dumfries, or the 28 end? That will decide my route there.

[Pacifier]

I'll be there + 2

[georgia]

Susan and I will be there! Is the property closer to the 29 end of Dumfries, or the 28 end? That will decide my route there.

Its pretty much dead center--depends on where you are coming from--if you dont mind driving through manassas then 28.

29 if your coming off 66.

[georgia]

Yeti, me and 1.

Yeah, it's pretty much whether Manassas or Warrenton is along the way when you're going to Dumfries. Everybody give Bob my regards and tell him I'm sorry I can't be there.

[2timer]

count me in +1

[02tj]

Im in thus far.

[Truck]

Becky & I should be there

Truck

[ltdanyj]

I'll swing by to say hey after work

[Frankpapa]

Just to make sure the first post is clear, please don't bring your own alcoholic beverages either. Need to respect the wishes of the property owner, who is a great guy. Y'all have fun.

[YJSos]

I'll be there. I will probably join then also

[TheYeti1775]

can you post an address for those that would like to mapquest it?
Google work for ya?

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=4120+Dumfries+Rd%2FVA-605&sll=38.705439,-77.657268&sspn=0.008707,0.013797&ie=UTF8&ll=38.705958,-77.657268&spn=0.008707,0.013797&t=h&z=16

Basically if you come from Rt29, when you pass the closed curb store on the left slow down it will be coming up on the left. You can't see his house from the road during most of the year.
If you come from Rt28 if you see the closed curb store on the right, ya went too far.
Believe someone is putting a sign outside his drive for ya all to notice.

Cell reception is spotty at best on his property, but I'll make sure someone has their CB on BWJ's usual channel while we are in the back field.

[georgia]

As you come down the drive if you see the horses out please drive slow as to not spook them, once you get to the house keep going around back of it and follow the path around to the open field and you can park there and thats where everything will be set up.

[Frankpapa]

Google work for ya?

Unless it's been removed, there's a small sign at the entrance to his property that says New Walden Pond. It's right at a bend in the road -- tricky from either direction.

[Pacifier]

Mike and I will have the BWJ banner setup in the corner of the main road.

[94ZJ52]

Looks like my plans to go up to Quadratec Tent sale have been nixed due to work. I might be able to swing this get together though.

Uhh, I had no idea my rear end was off the ground like that. :tinysmile_eyebrow_t

Steering was kinda funky on the way home, Gonna re-do my alignment to fix the pulling to driver side.

Here are the shots I got of Mike...

Pics I have of Karl...

[JMUJEEP]

DAMN!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THE WHEELING :tinysmile_cry_t4:

But I did have fun the short time I was there. Thanks for having us out there Bob!

[notarubicon]

My wife and i both had a good time and it was good to meet everyone
Thanks Bob for having us.

[H2_RECOVERY]

Yes Dan I winched my self out twice. We all got through it the first time with just Karl and I stuck in it and headed back up to the picnic are and were sitting there and I opened my mouth, I said hey lets do it again! Before I knew it everyone was running for their jeeps and headed in again. We you know how i am about calling myself out. The second time around we had a blast Deigo burned up his winch, Jason got stuck and as I walked away from his rig he hit the gas and before I knew it I was covered in mud. Good thing I had a change of clothes because I changed out and then Diego hit the hole and we all were covered again from his wide open throttle pass. there was nowhere to hide from the flinging mudd.

[toy_tundra]

Sweet...sounds like fun!

[Deadman]

Lots of new faces, names and jeeps, but I shall never forget that red jeep that came blasting thru with the right front wheel about a foot and a half above the water. Great folks and great time. Billy and I had a blast and I slept for 9 hours.

[JeepinSoldier]

Looks like I missed out on some fun wheeling. The kids and I had a great time the short time I was there and Aaron was looking forward to his first wheeling. He was disappointed when we had to leave.

Sorry I couldent stay. One of my Soldiers passed away and was found in the barracks. I have spent the last day and a half with the unit and his family.

[ltdanyj]

I had a great time guys, sorry about causing the night time recovery!!

[H2_RECOVERY]

You just made it more exciting thats all. Man you were carzy on that shifting. I don;t think I have ever seen the fast forward reverse shifting I saw last night. :tinysmile_shutup_t2 lolol

Here is one of D just before the winch went up in smoke/

[H2_RECOVERY]

sweet! looks like the gulch got bigger.

[Frankpapa]

You've all figured out by now that Deadman has the highest fiber mud ever. He probably told you that's because most of it passed through a cow's gut at some time (add that certain special aroma). They don't make power washers strong enough to quickly remove that stuff!

So sorry I couldn't be there.

That's for sure.

I had a great time guys, sorry about causing the night time recovery!!

That was probably the most fun recovery I've done in a while. Hell I think we know where we can set up a Recovery 101, 102, 103, 104 class.

[H2_RECOVERY]

We just had the winch 101-102 class last saturday. lolol

[TheYeti1775]

You could give graduate courses on it at Bob's.

[H2_RECOVERY]

I would say Yes you can!!!

Yetti did you get a video of me hitting it?

[TheYeti1775]

No, damn batterys died right after Diego's run.
And the spares (damn dollar store) ones were dead as well.

So only have stills of you in it.
Guess ya gotta do it again :tinysmile_twink_t2:

[ltdanyj]

Almost forgot! BIG PROPS TO HEATHER!!!! We ended up having to run a winch line from the gulch, all the way to where the two of us were stuck... Heather ferried the line down the side of the creek, through all the briars to us... Thanks!!!!

Hell yeah! We were all standing around my "stuck recovery" ZJ and ltdanyj's Jeep wondering how the heck we were goign to get a winch line run to an anchor point or from another Jeep.

I do see lockers in my very near future though, right after the tcase swap, rear axle swap, belly pan, rocker bars, front axle swap, oh hell.... Lockers might be further than I thought.

[ltdanyj]

Next up for me is a rear spool, and a winch

[georgia]

My pleasure--just shows at the end of the day it was the woman that wasnt afraid to get dirty and go trapsing through the woods.:tinysmile_kiss_t2:

[TheYeti1775]

Next up for me is a rear spool, and a winch

Winches are on my list of to buy items as well.

Seeing Diego's burn up shows there is no such thing as to heavy a winch.

[H2_RECOVERY]

I have to say you guys really worked my harbor feight 10000 winch. Deigo and I both have lockers and we didn't make it that far either.

[TheYeti1775]

That's why I have to save my pennies for a good 15k lbs for that FSJ I have now.
Ya'll where having enough issues pulling the ZJ. Could imagine the weight of a FSJ in that muck.

I'd think about getting a hydraulic winch for the FSJ Yeti, that 360 will have no issue spinning an extra pump for the winch.

My 10k winch got one hell of a work out too.

Things I noticed from all of the recoveries we did that day.
1) Wheel chocks with some sort of cleat on the bottom would be a good idea.
2) Back tying the pulling the winching vehicle for hard pulls to a tree.
3) I need a Hi-lift.
4) Snatch Blocks.

[elevatorguy]

Looks like everyone had a great time Its a toss up between the wheeling you did or watching records fall at englishtown raceway there were for or 5 world records set the biggest one was tim lynch went a 6.53@226 on a 10.5 wide slick:tinysmile_shutup_t:

Speak for your self :) I made it once, and failed miserably the second time. You failed miserably twice ;)

[H2_RECOVERY]

yeah yeah. I know you made it through before it was all rutted up.. Did you get her all cleaned up?

I drove all the way home not realizing I was unhooked in the front. I had so much weeds stuffed in the springs that they limited my bump stops so no lean. lolol
