anybody want to set up meeting times so we can caravan?? best buy at 11 am in fairfield??

Yes....address was posted on a previous message on a previous page but appreciate the reset. Gracias.

I want to thank everyone that came out to the Sac Meet and Greet. Great to see a lot of new faces and some usual faces as well. I think Prairie City worked out to be a nice add on to the Meet and Greet.....has a little something for everyone.

Oh and Dean thanks for falling on the sword (and mud) and sacrificing to hold up and defend the Nissan name. Much appreciated and a job well done.

Hopefully next Sac meet and greet if people want we can combo it to Prairie City again.

Thanks all and see you next time

It was a nice showing of the X's Hey Dean it is raining now so just drive your around town it will clean up meeting some new and others i know it was fun. Burke in Elk Grove

Great meeting some other Xterra owners and seeing that not all are driven by soccer moms. Lots of nicely equipped X's. Sorry I couldn't go to Prairie City. We're doing the GBES Geocaching rally in Fallon, NV in 2 weeks and the Nevada Trophy Rally starting in Carson City and finishing in Lovelock in July. This was a worthwhile trip as I stopped at the Nissan salvage yard and picked up a roof rack crossbar to mount some lights on.It had to be from the only Xterra ever made with an orange roof rack. Great meeting you all.

It was definatly a pleasure meeting all of you whom i hadn't met before, and great to see all of you whom i had. Prairie City was cool, I had a good time there! Now.... where are those pictures???? Thanks Ryan, for organizing a great event. We should do that again! I made a suggestion to Huey (i beleive it was) that Prairie City would be agreat place to hold a "4X4 101 " class/course. I definatly leared some things, if not by driving, watching! (Thanks Guys!). ok... the rambeling is done!!

great job with the set up. It was a blast. Great to meet everyone new and lets keep trading of rally points for meetings.

Just wish I brought a camera.

What did Dean do? Who's got the pictures? :rolleyes:

I committed the cardinal sin- I drove through a big mud pit, which had the effect of converting my luxo-ute into a small dump truck. That is, I left half a dozen shovelfuls of Sacramento County soil in the gutter of my San Jose street. What took only 10 minutes to load up took 5 hours to "unload"!

Pics are still in my camera, waiting to be posted.

Yeah I have to agree....took about 2 hours for me to clean the inside of my engine bay of caked on mud after I plowed through the mud bog. But hey nothing a little elbow grease and an old tooth brush didn't fix. Still have yet to tackle the outside....waiting for the rain to subside here a little bit.

Looking forward to some pics too since I forgot my camera as well.

Guys, next time someone taunts us to drive through a mud pit, please remind me NOT to give in. (I hate mud.)

For some reasons this reminded me of Back to the Future movies.

-"...chicken".
-"Are you calling me a chicken? No one calls me a chicken. Where's that mud pit".

Haha

I met a guy today who said he saw a bunch of crazy people in Xterra's running through the mud at Prairie City just recently....couldn't have been ya'll? Bring on the hard dry rock!!

No kidding...mud is the quickest way to hose a vehicle...it is kind of fun though

Hell i went through the mud pit a few times. I aint afraid of no mud All though i was not the first to go in.

OK, just a few pics here .

The 4-minute-long movie I took of Matt in the mud pit is too big to post (535MB).

Nice pics Dean! How can I get a copy of that video?

Here are some more pictures .

I got some really strange looks while driving home, a group of people in a convertible were either amazed at my mud collection or else some mud fell off the Jeep and landed in their car. I dunno.

- Matt

Probably the latter.

I can burn you a CD of the movie. 640x480 30fps MJPEG AVI. 535MB. Our running commentary and snickers are pretty funny to listen to.

Sounds good, I'm curious to hear what nasty things you all had to say. Retribution 2005!!!

- Matt

Great trip guys. For those I know, nice to see ya'll, for those I didn't know, nice to finally meet ya'll. Cool pictures as well. Can't wait till the next trip. Hope to see ya'll soon.
