Manx Club

My camera went belly up at the start of the weekend so I had to borrow a few photos.  I hung around my "jeep" friends cause I was the only buggy in the group. I won't bore you with Jeep pics... http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x44/blondsrunamuck/octillo.jpg This is one of the many interp...

The event was a huge success and a fun time was had by all!!  The Rangers at Octillo put a lot of effort and planning into make this a fun event for everyone!  The park was split into 7 areas each with a  theme....Plants, Creatures, Animals, Plants, Oil History, Off Road History, Geology.  Each area...

http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x44/blondsrunamuck/OWSVRA.jpg This  is a super fun event put on by the Parks Service.  I attended last year and had a great time.  A great way to get in some buggy geocaching time.  You'll be amazed at the effort the Park Service puts into this  event and the way ...

Wishing you all the best in 2011!!

Terrible news. Sorry to hear this!! God Bless his wife and family.

Thanks for the info. I found a "buggy bones yard" in my city and they have every used vw part you could ever need. I can have the motor and arms installed for about $100. still checking around but sounds reasonable to me.

This past weekend, I towed my buggy to a State Beach here in San Diego for a weekend of "parking lot camping".  I was told by the camp host and later the "State Police" that I would not be allowed to drive my buggy because it was "illegal" due to no windshield wipers.  ...

For those that went on the geocaching run in Big Bear, we had our first visitor at the cache we placed "IMO JIMBO"  (in memory of jimbo).  You can check out the log posted for that visitor at geocaching.com.  You can find the cache by name or GC number (GC2C10V).  If you have a geocaching ...

Just picked up the buggy from the mechanic (same mechanic that did the rebuild 18 months ago)  The new motor probably has 1500 miles on it.  It has single valve springs and the mechanic couldn't remember the cam size but assured me it was small and sized correctly for the motor (1776).  He check all...

I took my buggy in for a general check up and on the way to the shop, I thought i heard an unusaul "rattle". I just got a call from the mechanic who said I had a broken valve spring and how lucky it was that I brought it in..,.blah, blah, blah,....my question, it that unusual? It is the 2n...

The cache that we placed during the run has now been posted. You can find it by name IMO JIMBO or by gc number GC2C10V.

I'm having one of those days where everything I do to get ready to go  puts me one step back...so...I'm delayed.  Need to wait for the buggy shop to open so I can get a new tow bar!  so....the prerun at 10 tomorow is delayed.  See you at camp tanda.

It's in the mail Bob...lol   Sorry I sent it on the due date.  Dinner and  a Lg Tee shirt. I'll be there on Thursday night  and would like to do a prerun on Friday. No stopping for caches but I would like to check the route.  Any one interested is welcome to join in. We will be finding existing cach...

There are hundreds of caches in Big Bear.  I've looked at a route on the South side of the lake, all on fire roads, that have over 50 caches along them.  My plan would be to give a full caching experience; we will place a Buggy Friends Cache, release a Buggy Travel Bug and get as manny caches as tim...

I'll put something together;  it will be pretty easy.  Scott, I use a Garmin but lately I have been caching with my iphone. If you have iphone, you'll need to go to Geocaching.com and make an accont (if you don't already have one.)  Then down load the Goecaching App to your phone. Or any basic hand ...
