Let me get this straight... SCCX is a "club," right? Where folks can gather to share stories, have a beer or two, and meet for some offroad fun? Right? Fun?

and yet... there was a "silent power struggle?"

There's your problem, right there.

You guys have dues, by-laws, minutes, a treasurer, all that?

May sound like fun to some, I just don't get it.

I've got a question... And seeing as how I was probably as close to this event as shamalamadingdong, I've got a couple arm-chair questions as well.

1) How many times did you pull out the pull-pal again? 3 times?? Isn't the definition of insanity when you do the same thing over and over expecting different results??

2) You had a spare tire and a shovel, right?

3) If answer 2 is "yes", then during the 2 days time, did it ever occur to you to dig a big fucking hole, hook up the winch line to the tire, drop the tire in, and backfill it? It's called a dead-man anchor... In two days time, you could've dug down to freaking bedrock and anchored in there for cripes sake...

I'm completely understanding of getting stuck; sticky mud like that'll swallow you up in a heartbeat. Us East-coasters understand that completely. It's the whole "taking 2 days" to get unstuck that I just can not possibly understand. I know it only rains a couple times a year out there, but damn!

Shesh you laid back hawaians, we're close to LA of course we can't get along

And you have a good point. Our club, SXFC, has the dues, officers, bylaws etc... and you sometimes wonder what happened to your group of friends that just liked to get together for fun. I know one of our big reasons for the organization was a member wrecking, getting sued etc.... Plus dues allowed us to have a very good board and webhost. Theres good and bad with it but I see your point. It should just be friends getting together with friends.

not likely on soda lake.

i would suspect you could bring ina back hoe and in two days not even get close to bedrock... when there is mud there it is not measured in inches... but feet... Cary got lucky... very lucky

Yeah, it's similar to the dry lakebed next to Calico with the artesian well in the middle. That's some goop. Ironic there's that kind of mud in the middle of the desert.

Then by all means, let's attempt to cross it in an Xterra! :rolleyes:

Yeah.. right up until he refused help from us.

This is exactly the reason SWANKy remains unincorporated here in Arizona. No politics, no problems. We've all been wheeling together for years and we get newbs joining us all the time.

Could this thread actually be dying?

Come on, Cary (LAXterra) we know you're good for at least a few more pages.....

I think there are a couple of movies that this situation could be likend to... Involved some sort of psycho that got dumped by his girlfriend and he went off the deepend with the stalking and not letting go. Although I think even they give up after a couple of months. I can see that this event mentally scarred a couple of people and they might need some professional help with "letting go" That is kind of a half joke there, but seriously, that guy might need to get professional help with this. This event has seems to have consumed him, rational thought giving way to a hateful, spiteful, huge chip on the shoulder mentality. I think its in his best interest for all of those involved to just let it die. God forbid he snaps and does something drastic. Take a vacation Cary, a long one, for mental health reasons. I dont know you at all or the situation, but you are showing yourself more and more as an unstable mind ticking towards a bad ending. Take a break from the intarweb and just enjoy your life. You were fine before the Xterra club and you can be fine after it. Dont let this event give the members on here such a skewd view of who you are. Cut the loses, be thankful for what you have, and let this die.

And he was illegally parked and trespassing.

made me think of this thread

you really come across as a whiny bitch. will you please stop posting, and leave the SCCX out of your life? it'll make everyone (including yourself I'm sure) much more happy.

Cary, the clear difference is that you were no longeer part of the club.

Now ,I'm sure you can read and you seem to be in posession of great skills of noticing details. Why is it that you choose not to address my questions?

"But I'm not dead yet."

Looks like Cary found his stick again...


Wait, Cary, I think I see her breathing!

Hit her with another dissertation! This time, put some research on it!

Damn! That's gotta hurt! You da man Cary! You da MAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!!!

Hey Cary, this one is for you Douche!

Damn, that chick's got some manly arms!

You are just jealous 'cause I have hair, and you are bald.

nyah!

Yeah, well I may be bald, but at least I'm fat.

Hey wait a minute...

Look at her finger nails. I think she's a lesbian. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
