September Club Run

After the arduous hill climbs and descents we went on some moderate roads to a place west of Coffs and stopped for a great lunch by the creek.













This is a group of Club Jeepers having lunch. Well, not everything is about food. It is also about telling lies. You can tell when they're lying when their mouths are open and sound is coming out. Today they are telling lies about how tough Jeeps were in the old days before Plastic and before Classic when Jeeps were made as tough as stone.





This is Gus thinking about the stories he just heard and trying to work out how they really did build Jeeps out of stone. Click on the image to see the story come to life.










Then something happened that all Jeepers like. We ran out of roads.













Terrible things happen when you run out of roads. Mostly they happened to Max.


Whoops




More Whoops

The water from the engine area came from the creek, the stuff running out the door is most likely tears from Max










Most of us built a bridge after that and moved on to some hard hill climbing but I didn't get any photos of that as I was too busy hanging onto the steering wheel.


I don't think they make trees like this anymore.










Now you might think that Max and the little bit of water on the inside was the saddest story of the day. No that would be the story of Chris (Elmo) being discovered in the front seat of a Nissan heading to the same place on Upper and Downer when the Jeep Club came along. He called out something about a cut-off switch not working but that's for the evidence to prove.

Most Club members think that Max will be busy draining, and then some more draining and refilling. Max said he isn't even going to sell it.


This is a great strangler fig picture which was just around the corner from where everyone else stopped.
