Disco2Guy Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hi folks! This upcoming weekend Tepui Fest is happening again at Area 5 of Hollister Hills. The NCLR Club will be their special guests for the event, and we will hold a recovery/winching clinic, winchline repair class, and trail runs. The clinics will run from 10-2 with trail runs afterwards, and Mexxi's will be catering the event:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenton, can any NCLR club member attend or is it just for those who are Tepui owners? -Jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco2Guy Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Enrique said there are about 75 Teoui attendees. We shouldn't crash their party, but it would be nice if some members wanted to attend the recovery/spotting class or help with some trail runs. The event runs from Friday to Sunday, with most activities happening on Saturday. The truck is in the shop and I'm hoping it will be ready Thursday, so I can get down there Friday afternoon.

DHappel Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I'd volunteer to help with the recovery classes, but it's fleet week and I'm working all weekend so no joy for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don, you need to put a picture of your awesome truck in your signature. Oh, and fleet week is so fun!... except maybe for you. -Erin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I'll look into that. I may have to wait until my raffle goodies are installed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost volunteered last year as the recoveree on Graeme's trail run. (Darn you ABS!!) Don't think I can make it this year as my hall-pass is getting thin. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeWare Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I almost volunteered last year as the recoveree on Graeme's trail run.) Yes, that was very high in my mind when I decided Lucas wasn't going down there during the trail run this year .... seeing Lutz bounce/slide down the first part, I could see that it was looser than last year. I knew one out of the group wouldn't make that turn at the bottom, and that wouldn't have been pretty ....thus the decision to turn and go back the other way. Sometimes the "been there, nearly picked up the pieces" memory is the best survival instinct. Those maps they give out don't even show that trail ....

LandRonB Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 It will be Deja vu. I'll be there Saturday to attend the winch clinic and volunteer to run trails after 2pm. Afterwards stay, relax, enjoy the band and food and camp just Saturday night and leave next day. Besides Brenton, me, and Rob Black (winner of the Tepui Tent this year), who else are going and want to help lead trail runs for the Tepui guests?

Disco2Guy Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I think the runs will be after 2pm. I have the spotting/driving clinic from 10-11:30, 30 minute break for lunch (or make it) from 12-1pm the splicing class, and winch recovery from 1-2pm. Of course, I'll need some help or other trucks during that time too:) We could really use a couple more people for the trail runs. Either leader or tail gunner.

DiscoChef Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Mexxis will feed any volunteers that can make it this weekend, all meals (fri nite, sat am, sat pm & sun am) except for lunch on Saturday are covered. I may not be able to help lead/tail gun if the run is at 2pm hope to see you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correction: trail runs lead by NCLR after 2pm. So far we have myself (trail leader) and Rob (tail gunner) for 1 run. Good for 7-10 vehicles. Be good to have 1 more leader and gunner for the next 7-10 vehicles like last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer to be tail gunner though since I'm not real familiar with the trails. Don't think Jared will come, so it will just me and RedRover. Let me know what time you need me to be there. -Erin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco2Guy Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'm still thinking if how to do the winch class. There's some good potential areas to get lightly stuck behind the dirt mounds in Area 5. I was also thinking of parking some trucks to do and angled pull with a snatch block off a bumper. There's a little gully we could also pull a truck out of, or demonstrate a double line self recovery. I hope to get the early enough to formulate a pla, but would love to hear any other ideas.

I am hoping Rob could bring it back for me. Ted, talk to Rob first and then Tepui; he's suppose to contact Evan @ Tepui; to let him know he was the winner of the tent raffle, and would like to pick it up at Tepui Fest this Saturday. Awning is not that large; make the purchase and suppose it be added to Rob's pick-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA Journey Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I would volunteer and help out but i will be in Washington DC. Maybe next year. Have fun! AA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teds Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Bought the 6 ft awning! Tepui will bring it to hollister and Rob will be picking it up for me. Can't wait to set it up! Got a 10% discount for being an NCLR member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
