other than the new member introduction thread, are there threads or a space on here for people new to owning 4x4 (jeep)… I'm interested in joining some club, that can hopefully point the way for my husband and I. I grew up with my dad owning Jeeps, so I have been on the beach A LOT driving it previously, but have only been on inland trails once (and that was in mexico driving). My mechanical knowledge has been on german cars as of late, so this jeep, and parts, lifts, suspension etc, is a huge learning process

.. I *think* my dad was a member of the Trailblazers in the beginning, I have his patches.

any advice is appreciated. thanks in advance.

You may be thinking of the Uwharrie trails general store. It's on the left on 109 coming down from Thomasville, there at Coggin rd.

The Outpost is a little further down on the right. It's a BP

And we will be in that big field across 109 behind the barn

lol...I laughed at "come back"...it was my dad that was the member, he passed away a few years ago...but he was a member way back in the early days (i.e. early 70's)...I grew up running around in the winter in his BIG coat that had the patches on it...now I plan on putting one of the small ones on a hat.

if there are some old timers around that remember him, I wouldn't be surprised, my dad was a one of a kind character :)...honestly it would be great to meet some new people that knew him then, I love hearing stories, and he passed before I met my husband, so I always like introducing him to people that knew my dad.... makes my stories make sense LOL
 
I'll check some old membership books. Robbie Mozely is the "I remember" guy!
Up-date, I just checked back to 1992, the oldest book I have. No Bill/Charles listed. Had to be before 92. I think Robbie has some books Older, & whoever is storing CTB History should have from 71 & up. Was fun seeing some former & current names though!

Just look for the big bus with the HUGE CTB sticker on the back

20170310_170728.jpg

That's where a lot of the crew will be.

Our commander (Jason) is in a storm trooper JK

JW commander.jpg

Vice commander (Chris) is in a TJ

CKvice.jpg

I am in a TJ as well (Troy)

CT secretary.jpg

And our treasurer and spokesmodel (James) will be in......OK..that's a difficult one, and he has more than a dozen to choose from.....lets just say he has the long flowing sparkling silver beard (can't miss him)

But don't mistake the beard comment to mean Lankford

His beard is glorious as well, just not as "snowy"

Grab any one of us, and we'll introduce you to who all is there ;)
