I know years ago there was an event where ck5ers would get together for the weekend. Some folks would camp out and others would drive out for a day. I remember reading that there was even an organized BBQ. Not sure if it was an annual thing. Anyhow do folks still do this?

Blazer fest.
I wish it was still around. I have no idea when it stopped...05 maybe?
It doesnt seem like it will ever be back, its very odd to me how things vanish. I used to ride dirtbikes every weekend with 20 to 30 people and now I cant find anyone to go with. I guess it was the economic downturn.
I would love to have a fullsize invasion on the rubicon.
I see youre from Brentwood....im about 30 mins west of you. What kind of rig do you have?

Well shoot youre ready to hit the rubicon or hollister! If you go to the blazing trails section on the home page weve started a thread to get a group of folks to hit the rubicon in possibly june. Im still building my truck but im always down for a hollister trip!
Sounds grt. My only issue is my with funds being tight my rig is an all purpose rig. Rather not beat her up I've always thought the rubicon had sections that were very tight. But will definitely check out the blazing trails section for some info. Thx

Yeah no worries! You could get through 3/4 of the trail without scraping but im sure the whole thing could be done with careful driving.
After a while it turned into the "anti blazer fest". Kind of shrunk down to just a few closer knit friends from the NorCal Big Dawg forum (pretty sure it's gone now).
@Avery4jc and @FRIZZLEFRY were more a part of that group.
There are still get together a bit on a smaller scale. Hollister is always fun tho.

Yes Norcal forums were given up on as most of us were on Facebook and could stay in touch that way.
Life happens and guys drifted away and sold or gave up on their rigs for various reasons.
Also right as I came along the club lost two members, one in an accident and one who unexpectedly passed which seemed to be the beginning of the end.
Kevin of Pac Fab has been doing racecar stuff, two other main members are building new rigs, and another guy is neck deep in house remodeling and shop building so everyone kinda gave up on stuff for a while.
I still wheel all the time with my friends @FRIZZLEFRY and @chevysmithz71 around here though.
Yeah the last one I went to was a year you didn't go. Got to ride around in Frizz's LC tho which was fun. I'm eager to see Jason's rig when it's done.
