You argue a strong case. We will have to see how it shakes out. 

The plotting has begun. I mentioned it to Theresa - she didn't say no ;).

Yea, make sure you get that in writing from Theresa.
And we can have Sebastian babysit your LO at the rally.  It’ll be great!

This one looks awesome. I expect we will be all camped out with the little one after Lost Coast. Guess we will see as it gets closer ;).

 

But definitely on the calendar for next year!

Not same weekend... why not do both!

I'm sure your LO will love AZ in Nov... possibly more than LC in Nov.

[AZLRO Rally: Nov 4-6]

It looks like AZLRO is putting on a multi-day event in Cottonwood-Sedona early Nov. 
It's about 12hr-14hr drive from Bay Area. 
I'm checking if I can make this trip...

Really wanted to make this, but my 2yo had a long overdue play date.

Now that he's more comfy in the 90... I anticipate we'll be going on more trips.

[Nevada Trophy?]

Nevada Trophy has a long history... I've never participated and actually didn't know about the entry fee. 
Scavenger hunts are always fun... but 850 is a bit steep.

I bet the club could put one up just for fun. (where y'all BoD's? :D)

Removed the old oil lines last weekend and dropped them off at Royal Brass in San Jose for a rebuild.

Not only was it cheaper to have them rebuilt than to buy OEM, but they finished them in a day : ).

Very happy with the quality of work.

I need to take my leaky transmission cooler lines there! 

 

[East Brothers Beer Co in Richmond]

i think that pre-covid wkend brunch lasted like 2 months (2 meets). 

But yes.. let's do it on wkend. Also, I was thinking we could even do a brunch at a park with bbq grills, etc.

[No Time to Die opening scene... (spoiler alert!)]

This is an interesting video explaining the work that the crew took to shot the opening chase & gun fight scene in No Time to Die. 

It's a very good movie and recommend it if you haven't seen it already. It's also available for rent for $19 on Amazon video. Plus, JLR paid good money for product placement in this film.   

Spoiler alert: 

 

[East Brothers Beer Co in Richmond]

2 months later... i vote to make this happen. Though.... it'll be tough on weekdays evenings, for me.

Hey Chris, I know what you mean.  Lol.  I was in your shoes many moons ago with two kids, and trying to get them ready for camping or any 4x4 club events, and comfortable during the trip and at the events.  From infant to toddler to grade school level, I dragged my kids to these events and they had fun (eventually).  It's a test of patience and understanding for sure.  Now both of my kids are grown-up (one a sophomore college, and the other college in less than 2 years).   You will be at  your kids pace of travel so no worries.  I will just meet you and your family @ Shaver Lake!   Do you have a camp site already?  Is there space in your campsite for DII w/RTT?  Thanks!
