WV WWW XI April 5-7 2013

Another great WVWWW GTG.  A nice cruise from the park to Tamarack for shopping and lunch.  Visit to the pioneer farm.  Hiked the trail to both water falls.  Too much food.  Great conversation and lots of laughs.  Home safely and thinking about the next GTG.

These Wild'n'Wonderful Weekends certainly are just that.  (y)
Thank you all for a great time.  :love:
I'll try to get photos posted soon.
 
Mom and I made it home around 3:00. I had enough time to run and wash the Subaru and clean it out do my laundry and then it was back on the road to school! What a fun weekend, mom and I had a blast as always! I'm glad we got the ambers in the BDE ( Thanks to VMer) and the CAFCNA decal in the back glass (thanks to 02Z71). I appreciate it guys  (y) Anyways, I had time to download the pictures from the memory stick to my laptop and I will upload them after I resize them after my Chemistry class in the morning! No luck with the window latch either  :mad: Mom is taking it back down to the dealer in the morning. They had no sympathy; they were awful nice when we bought it, but now not so much  :laugh: She was NOT happy and they knew it.... >:D Like I said, thanks for another great WVWWW. Hope to see you all again real soon  :D

Had a GREAT time !! Things changed enough that we were able to make the trip, a much needed weekend away from normal life,LOL !! We took a few pics but I'll have to figure out how to post them.. Really was a good time and looking forward to the next one !!
 
We had a great time this weekend! It's always great to spend the weekend with AV family. I can't thank Jim and Carol enough for eveything they did to pull this GTG together. Weather it is a big GTG or small Jim ALWAYS does an awesome job... and we are lucky to have him as a CC.  :notworthy:

I have a ton of pictures, but need to figure out an easy way to resize them to get them on here.  :help:

 
Heres my picture link to photobucket as well! We didn't get any pics from the cabin at all.. Mom wasn't paying attention to the camera at those times  :laugh: The ones from the waterfall is from my phone, since only a couple of us braved the mud and hiked to the top  >:D

It has looked good on every Avy that it has been on.  (y)  >:D but I like the way the rhino lining matches your cladding more than it did on the 02  :rolleyes:
 
Next time I hope we can get another closer to the Midwest like the one I attended a few years ago! Sounds like I missed out on a good time!
 
Thanks for the pictures, it looks like we missed another great GTG!

We did Jack. I had the window out and back in several times on Sunday to avoid taking it to the dealer. I had no such luck in figuring out why it was stuck. So mom took it back to the dealer on Monday. They took it back and had it for over an hour. The service guy came out and said whomever the "idiot" was that took the window out simply didn't know how to reinstall it that it wasn't seated in the track properly and Therefore it wouldn't release the latch. Had I been there I most likely would have went off on him. Mom told him that there were 4-5 avalanche enthusiasts that attempted to rectify the problem to no avail. And he responded by saying they must have not known what they were doing either.... I went out and looked and you can clearly see they removed the upper trim and there are pry marks on the outside of the latch....  :E: The owner of the dealership and his son whom is the GSM I have actually both played golf with and have on several occasions been aquatinted with got a not so nice call from me the following Monday when I came back from school and saw
And heard what they did. So long story short... Mom confronted them about the pry marks and he said we did it trying to free it before we brought it in. Then called mom a liar. Needless to say we are not dealing with that dealer anymore. But yes the latch is working now.
 
WOW... sounds like once they make the sale they don't really care about your business.  :beating: Does this mean if they call with a job you still won't be "dealing" with them? >:D

Are you referring to the brush guard I sold Ian a few years back? Only fitting that you got an "OBB pix" with a part that came off one of my avys (y)

He sure is mike  (y) it was only fitting that it went to someone else that liked it as much as I did! Plus it's rhino lined now so he can mow down whom or whatever he wants  :laugh: no more pesky Honda problems  >:D

No ma'am. I don't need a job that bad. And I refuse to work with anyone that treats their customers like that. I already have another one lineup anyways! Lol
