LandRonB Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Have fun @ the MORG. I still have packing to do and a few others things I need to do on the truck before the Oregon trip. I can use today and tomorrow in prep for the trip since M-F will be near impossible to do any personal stuff w/work schedule. Jared, I will have your money for the campground fees and we all meet-up on Saturday. Also I was planning to hard copies of the Oregon Route 3 in color as a back-up to the GPS (my goodness very costly) for folks who may deviate from the trip and need to leave early. I will just make them avail when we all meet up Saturday. WElcome to all the new members! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraemeWare Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 You'll want to go to the ranger station to purchase your day pass ($10.) first. Jared, Another 50:50 split deal with the Ranger? Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NThyrring Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 It was all good, until I got stung by a bee leaving the park. What the bee was doing leaving the park, I'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nils, That doesn't sound good. Hope you're not allergic to the sting (I am, and it isn't a pretty sight). So, what an introduction we gave you? First we try to get you to roll your truck, then we get you stung? Thanks to Alison and friend, for staying while we recovered Chad .... who made it up all but two of the soft slippery hairpins under his own power. Certainly a new technique was learned in how to "luge" around the curves. Thanks for everyone else for bailing without even a "goodbye". And sorry to the occupants of the last truck that I didn't realize hadn't followed us, and due to the problems recovering Chad, somehow got forgotten (not a lot we could do though, sorry). Anyway, I think we learned something (now what was that?) and I actually had a great time, even though we didn't actually drive more than 10 miles offroad.

"Goodbye" Ben, aka last truck, made it up to the meeting spot ala back route. We hung around for awhile, but Will and Ben were ready to head out and I had a dinner date at 6 that Heather reminded me of... to which I needed to make sure my guests made it to... So the three of us all left together to make sure everyone could get out okay. Thanks for a great day everyone as always. And Chris, the ABC's of first aid trauma were so helpful because I actually remember them. Thank you!!!!

GraemeWare Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Ben, aka last truck, made it up to the meeting spot ala back route. ...... And Chris, the ABC's of first aid trauma were so helpful because I actually remember them. Thank you!!!! Erin, Glad we found Ben again (my memory for names is abysmal). And I hope you realize I was just pulling your chain about deserting us (but I'll remember it ....). Yes, a big "thank you" to Chris. It doesn't matter how many times you hear First Aid information, you will always learn a little more (and I re-certify my wilderness first aid every 2 years rather than 3, for just that reason). The one problem is that things do change .... when I first did CPR (many years ago) it was 10:10 (10 compressions, 10 breaths), then it changed to 20:10, then to 10:2, then ..... often the two goes away now (no breaths) .... I think Chris said 30:2 now (is that right Chris?). This also seems to vary across different countries .... and I've done courses in three that contradict. Bottom line is probably none of it is incorrect and all of it is better than doing nothing. As Chris said, if the airway is blocked and you do nothing .....

DHappel Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Sorry I missed out on the fun! At least we did some packing for the OR trip - a little hard to do since we don't actually have the Rover here, but any prep work is better than none since we'll basically pick it up, load up, and head out. More Pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Stephenson Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 A= AlwaysB= Bring C= CompetentD= DirtE= Equipment Sorry Graeme I think we all waited for almost an hour and the classic wasn't halfway up the trail....

Regards, Graeme I'm fine just a little swelling, it'll buff out. All in all it was a pretty normal day; 12 hours of driving, helping a guy out, meeting some new people, learning a few new skills, and a little sting. Thanks for all the help today, NCLR.

AdvRovr Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Great talk by Chris. Thanks to everyone and I feel TERRIBLY SORRY to have been "that guy" today. MEA CULPA! And yes, I will have 4WD by the next event. Other than that, great to meet everyone new! https://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/06/0897260d744e2a44a71a031b74fee987.jpg https://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/06/c82d06594c4ecef7cc50be8338606632.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco2Guy Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Yes, big thanks to Chris for the first-aid talk and programming the 8800. To Graeme, I seem to remember it was a 35:2 chest compression to rescue breaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomOwen Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hi Folks, Wow, it was great to be out there again, its been too long for me. Many folks were missed, David W, TanFam, Don (We know NeverHome is, well... NeverHome, Jared of team RedRover... but... Wonderful to meet some of the new members as well! Chad (e36) and his twin daughters (adorable!), Ben and Kate (PhoBucket) brought their sons Simon and Rubin (award for best questions and Most prepared) at the 1st aid class) oh, check out the photos of their 1st off-road trail mod Think more for fording than clean air..., William "Will" and his p38 and Nils and his LR3 that looks more like what you'd see in the after photos of a TV Truck build than you'd find on the trail... Another beautifully done LR3. The OCD Geek in me could stare at it for hours... but my ADD would keep me hopping around the paddock! Thanks Chris for all the prep, time and another informative presentation. I learned a few things including stick close to you on the trail! Great to see everyone who came out and I look forward to seeing many of you at Drip in the Dirt this month when we go back to the dirt lot of Alpine Inn. PHOTOS! (Glad to have the service but still getting it's application sorted out, mybad) A gallery for the event is HERE http://norcalrovers.smugmug.com/MORGs/June-2015/And a link to add YOUR photos to THIS gallery is HERE Guest Upload URL: http://norcalrovers.smugmug.com/upload/JNjC3H/June2015 These photos are linked FROM the smug site: SNORKEL!!http://norcalrovers.smugmug.com/MORGs/June-2015/i-QdWvNw8/0/M/WP_20150606_10_28_21_Pro__highres-M.jpg Clean builds!http://norcalrovers.smugmug.com/MORGs/June-2015/i-KCnBQFT/0/M/WP_20150606_11_25_50_Pro__highres-M.jpg Life saving infohttp://norcalrovers.smugmug.com/MORGs/June-2015/i-Mrk97LJ/0/M/WP_20150606_11_50_41_Pro__highres-M.jpg Thanks Chris!

By the way, I had crystal clear sound the rest of the day using the earpiece. Good thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, maybe too hilly for the Serengeti, but you still feel like you need a Mutual of Omaha voice over talking about lions or such. 'Jim will now tranquilize the large male....oh, my, that doesn't seem to have worked as expected...let's go to commercial' (there I go again showing my age....how long ago was Wild Kingdom?)
