From Jackie S.:
I (Jackie - TonysBlueFJ) arrived at 10am at help set up for the event.
The Scion people were already there, boy did they have some awesome cars.
Anyway, I set our FJ in the prime position, one wheel up on a ramp.
This event was a Poker Run & Classic Car Show. The COFJ'ers were invited
guests through Stevinson East. We did speak to some potential buyers on
the FJ.
The TT (Trail Team) was there with us, taking pics of everyone and
everything. We enjoyed there company. The TT and FJ'ers took a run down
Havana and did a pic op. That was the end for the day.
Sunday, June 22, Trail Run - Argentine Pass.
We met at Empire Sports - Downieville. Tony and I were running late,
how unusual for us. When we came down the ramp off the highway we
couldn't believe our eyes. A sea of FJ's, what a beautiful sight. Just
before we pulled out the TT gave a short talk on trail etiquette. We
then lined up, Bill and Athena (athenaceleste) were the trail leaders
and we were asked to gun.
In lining up to get back onto the highway, you wouldn't believe your
eyes, 18 FJ's, the TT Tacoma, and a modified Jeep (athena's sis and
B/F). What a breathtaking sight.
On to Argentine Pass . . . All I can say is absolutely beautiful. There are
water crossings, hills to play on, narrow roads, and scenery that can't
be beat. Lunch was served on top, Fried Chicken, Cole Slaw, Pasta
Salad, and Tres Leche's Cake. YUMMO. A brief lesson by the TT on proper
usage of a winch.
Back down and our Good Bye's. What a wonderful day, weather, new and
old friends. The TT was awesome, look forward to seeing them in Ouray.
