Camp at COP4x4 fixed this Jeep up for him. It was his Jeep but Camp spruced it up.

Oh and don;t think he let that work Camp did go to waste. He uses it to visit other soldiers, takes it to various events around San Antonio to help wounded soldier and raise awareness of their needs. He is paying back. As for Camp, I can not say enough good about the guy. When they met the first time he said he would fix up the jeep. They had no idea what Camp had in store. Companies all over stepped up on this one. Heck I would just like that light bar. Camp donated many of the parts and all the labor.
$25 more and think there will be enough.

Wheelers for Wounded
I have been perusing the Wheeler for Wounded San Antonio Chapter, for weeks, for an organization that have done this events in the past, it is not very organized, instead of finding a schedule of events in the main body of the website which refers to an event that is as important as this, an individual has to go into the "Chat" room to locate a schedule that is remotely useful. Don't get me wrong, the website offers a good synopsis of the Wheelers for the Wounded history but fails to provide that one important information: we identify the who, what, when, where, but the "how"? As it get closer to the event, the more confused I get, no one is communicating the event timeline, if Chris had not peruse the "chat" room, I would have not known what time to be there or what was expected of me. As Cool Hand Luke, 1967, would say "what we have here is a failure to communicate".
Just the other day, a retired army soldier whom I provided the information about the event, stop me in the hallway, asking if the event is still going through, he stated he registered so he can attend the event, but is clueless because he doesn't know what's going? He asked if I can provide him some information on the event, I told him straight up, I don't have any information, the sad thing is; this is a "customer", the organization's "bread and butter", and he's in the dark, kinda makes you wonder whether he will be a repeat customer.
Just my two cents. Just venting my frustration and disappointment, the sad thing about all this, the event hasn't even started and there have to be alot of "confused" customers out there who can't even begin to prepare or gear up for this event due to the lack of information.

From the Wounded website - Tx chapter: http://wftwtx.org/schedule-of-events-on-may-4th/Schedule of Events on May 4thHere is the schedule for the days events. This is subject to change 9 am – Drivers Meeting and Volunteer Meeting at the (Pavilion) 11 am – (Event Begins) Wounded Soldier arrival 11:30 am – Lunch is served 12 noon – Trails begin til 5 pm - Activities begin and continue all day like the Moon Bounce - Face Painting 5:00 pm – 7 pm (Dinner) 7:30 – Event EndsThe site says nothing about the 5th so I am assuming it is a replica.

I sent Green1 my info as you had asked us to set up in a previous post in hopes he would put together a list. Green1 is very experienced at off-roading though I do not know how many times he has been to Hidden Falls.
We are going.

I can't make this one - I'm working a lot of weekends right now and still paying for the week off in Moab earlier this month in the form of work that piled up in my absence. I did pass the information along to several of my Jeeper buddies and while I won't be there, I've referred at least one or two other folks that will be there. Y'all have a great time and I'll definitely look to participate next year!

My plan was to arrive Friday afternoon but things have changed. My right hand guy has had health issues and I am now running his department along with a project and the rest of the plant. I hate to do it but there is no way I can get away right now under the circumstances. Marble Falls is not difficult and an H3 without any UCP can easily run any trail rated a 3 that I have seen there. 4's are possible with minor planning on lines. Have a safe fun trip and we will plan a trip at Barnwell or Bridgeport soon.

I won't be back in Texas until the following weekend. Wish I could make this but I held off committing because I didn't think I could make it.

I'm sorry everyone but I am out. Rearranged work to try and make it but the alternate plan fell apart so I'm on call this weekend. Frustrating because I was really looking forward to seeing everyone and helping out.
