What happened on your way to Marauderville XIII?

[PuntyMario]

I'll start this one off since im curious if anyone else had anything to note on their travels. Mine came in the form of the coolant reservoir tube popping off 300 miles from vegas. Coolant spat everywhere, had to stop at a local station and luckily they had coolant available to toss in with some water.

Wow crazy stuff but glad you weren't riding solo and Tyler was able to help out. Do you know what caused this?

[Shaijack]

I got lost.

Damn Dean... sorry to hear this. :( Hope the parts and the fix work out quickly so you can join the group without much delay. I remember your gas tank problems delaying your travel to MV10 and you driving all night to catch us in Toledo, OH.

Ignored the massive vibration huh? :shake:

Lucky you didn't launch yourself. You have a loop on your car?

OH and here's your sign :turkey: ...........:D

Hope it doesn't cost to much of your gamblin' money.

Keep us posted on the "Misadventures of Dean" saga

Cracked tail shafts are so common that dealers normally stock them. Fairly cheap part and super easy to fix. Good luck.

I lost 3rd & 4th trans gear going to Vegas on Sept 13,
100 miles just south of the boarder with 1,900 miles to go but limped it back home slowly & got a flight out on the 16th.
Had an AWESOME time :banana2::beer::banana2:

What about "what happened in Vegas"? I know, I know, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. lol

I know a number of people were able to fit in their own site seeing. I saw a number of you already at the Atomic Testing Museum when I got there. I was also able to visit the titanic exhibit, old Mormon Fort, mob museum, Nevada State Museum, Spring Preserves, Nevada Train Museum, and I did check out Valley of Fire.

Where else did everyone manage to fit in on your own time?

Mark, did you ever make it to MV 13 ??

[Black Terror]

Red Rock Canyon National Park, Hoover Dam, Lake Mead National Park and Mt. Charleston area in addition to what has already been mentioned.

Here is me at the Valley of Fire.

[88LTDCV351]

Some great views but I'm sure there are better pictures out there than I could possibly take with my lack of photography skills.

Yes we were on an open stretch of road that appeared to be 10 miles straight and Chris and Gordon hit it, so I said no way I hit it then Dean. We hit 125 mph started backing down then Ken came over radio, Dean your smoking I looked in mirror and sure enough trans fluid dam...

Valley of fire is awesome, I did a photo shoot with the marauder a few years back there. Definitely worth the drive:burnout:
Some of the pics from it are hosted here. How far in did you go? http://smg.photobucket.com/user/shofast/library/MM

[88LTDCV351]

I stopped at the visitor center first. Then went to the White Domes trail for the hike. Then went to Mouse's Tank trail to see the petroglyphs.

Yes Charlie he did make it. We had dinner one night at the Hotels Stake house. Mark talked the his way in without reservations. The meal was worth it!

That's up to Dean lol...

[Ken]

I'd send Gordon the bill for being the instigator. ;)I heard that it was Chris...:hide:
