Pattey and I

Will be leaving the 20th to head to our new home in AZ. We sold our house in Md on the 30th of Aug and settle on our house in Apache Junction on the 13th of Sept. We will be leaving on the 20th from Samantha and Dennis house where we have been blessed to be able to stay with our dogs till we leave.

As for the Club, Pete/Paula, Dennis/Sam, Mike/Tina will continue to be the Board of Directors and Pattey and I will give input from our new location. We will be trying to start a West branch of the club.

I want to thank each and every one of you that has been a part of this and we are sure that everything will continue to grow and spread the love of God and be His hands and feet where ever we are. We will miss each and everyone of you, all of you have touched our lives in a positive manner and we love you.

See ya all when we come back for vacation!

I wish the tow of you the best as you embark together on a new chapter of you life. May the Lord continue to keep you and bless you, and may his angels watch over you on your trip out there.

Thanks Ken!!! We'll be seeing you again someday!!!

Wait... you're moving to Arizona???? Why am I always the last to know...is this why you are living in our house????

Congratulations...we will miss you! (now get out!)

you're going to miss our butts!!!

We love you so much and thank you for taking in our family....our 3 disgusting dogs and our crazy cat....not to mention Chris.

I know this club will do fine from here on out with you guys, Mike and Tina, & Pete and Paula at the helm. We'll be trying to get it rolling out there.

yeah....all the licking, scratching and butt dragging across the carpet was a bit annoying....and that was just Chris. The dogs have been great!!! We love you guys too....we are looking forward to keeping the club moving forward with the help of our members.

Best of luck to you and Chris out there! You will be missed! (Good thing you have extra bedrooms ) Mabye one day we'll have a north devision of the club and Mike and I can bring it to Maine, and call it A/O "snow wheeling" devision Congratulations again, so happy for you both!

OMG! That's hysterical!!! And yes, I know you guys (along with our other 4 superstars) will do a great job. I think our biggest thing to concentrate on is glorifying our Lord. Fellowship together and have good clean fun. And the greatest thing....give to those in need. You cannot go wrong.

We love you all.

I googled Apache Junction, and it’s where I thought. You’ll have to take a drive down the apache trail – it’s freaky, unless they’ve modernized it some more in the last 15 years. There’s a ghost town style area at the top of the trail with a little restaurant. Their chili was good (but not hot like I was led to believe, as well as their monster burgers. Somewhere in there, one of the dollar bills stuck to the wall is mine.

I’m not going to get all weepy here, so just gonna say, God’s best, take care, & we love ya!!

Yeah, that was funny!

Pattey and I are safe and sound in Arkansas right on the border of Oklahoma. Only two more days of driving till we reach our new house!

Please keep up the prayers for safe travels.


And we miss you all already

Ahh, nothing like a sunset over a lifted Jeep!


Hey, while you’re down there, let me know what the job situation is like…

Well its been a week and a couple of days now. We miss you all alot but are having a good time here. Just got out of the pool and it's Oct 3! Crazy!!

Patteys Jeep took a trip to Desert Fab for a leak. Turned out to be a couple of loose trans pan bolts. Blow back made it look like it was coming from the T-case.

Mine is there now for new front axle seals (have to pull the carrier so I was not going to do it) and the intermediate shaft was seeping so that was fixed, and he is going to try to make a muffler work on it. Todd (owner) is a great guy and does great work from what we hear.

First wheel'n trip will be next weekend. Bill (AZLugz) promised that it would be a easy run but have some rocks and harder stuff for me to play on too. We will start a thread with some pictures after that.

We love and miss you all, God Bless and have a great week.

hahahahaa! I was just looking through here and saw this and now that we've been here a few months, I DO know where you speak of...it's called TORTILLA FLAT, AZ. And we've been to the restaurant (GREAT BURGERS!) with all the $1 bills on the walls!!! Here's a few pics. Most of the Apache Trail is paved now, except for a 22 mile stretch where it's graded dirt road. But it IS spectacular!!!

Yay!! That's it - you found it! Now your task is to go back and find the dollar bill i signed ;-)
