2014 PNW4WDA Summer Convention

2014-summer-convention12

On Saturday I drove over to Seattle via Hwy 20 to Ethyl, Washington, where the Pacific Northwest Four Wheel Drive Association was holding the 2014 Summer Convention. While there, I got a chance to talk with both Herm and Marty Tilford, but spent most of the time taking photos. Turns out I could have used my wife’s help with properly setting the shutter speed. I did get a few good photos though.

On Sunday I got a chance to meet with Cody. A retired Marine Commander (hope I got that rank right), he’s a ball of energy who shared some great stories and insights. Though he doesn’t own a jeep yet, he’s been considering the purchase of one and has been reading eWillys to learn about them. Most of the year he lives in Taiwan, but is currently in the U.S. helping out family. He’s led an interesting life and we had a great chat.

Unfortunately, instead of spending Monday working on the jeep, I spent it not feeling well. So, I may return to Pasco on Tuesday for my wife to dote on me (hopefully).

Here are the pics from Summer Convention. The first two show’s Marty’s jeep just after the tire blew and his front driveline coupler broke (see it on the floor).
