some great articles, and a resignation. Read on…….
4th Annual Illini 4x4 Safari
By Dave
Almost $4500 in raffle and ice
cream donations were raised for a
couple worthy causes. But the
highlight may have been the
dozen or so vehicles that were
invited to Tom Doubet and Mike
Rahe’s Spring View Acres. Tom
and Mike have been allowing
TRJC to wheel on their land as
part of the Lakeshore Trail. While
the trail has been temporarily
closed by another landowner who
is logging the land on the other
half of the trail, Tom and Mike still
invited a continent from the Illinois
Department of Agriculture to come
out for the day and see what our
hobby is all about. We had a

organization that wheels
responsibly and helps the
communities. We took the 5 members on a short trail ride, much to their enjoyment. In the end,
this was a great public relations effort that Tom and Mike set up for us. Not only have they
provided food for folks on their trail for many years, not only have they built a shelter for us, they
are actively working to show our state officials that our hobby makes a significant economic
impact to the Pike County area. Tom and Mike: “Thanks from all of us in Two Rivers and our
guests that enjoy the trails on your land!”

On Saturday evening, several women from the
Daughters of the American Revolution made a
presentation about a Pike County flag used in the
Civil War that was recently found and is in need
of restoration. The 34 star flag is unique, in that
is has the battles in which it was used written on
the stripes and also the names of those who
perished in the battles. These names were
written on the flag almost 150 years ago! This newly discovered flag is a remarkable piece of Pike
County’s history. $7000 is needed to restore the flag, place it in a glass case and have it on permanent
display in the Pike County Courthouse. $3500 from the Safari raffle sales have been earmarked to assist
in the restoration efforts. The balance of the raffle proceeds, plus another $1000 from our treasury was
given to support Ag Day, where over 500 school kids come out to learn about soil conservation and
agriculture in the Pike County area. This Ag Day would not have been possible this year with TRJC’s
efforts.
And by the way, the wheeling was GREAT. Check out the stories that follow in this issue.
But before moving on, thanks to Rick Culberson who spent many hours and many headaches
coordinating this event. Thanks to Dino and Rachel for all the raffle prizes. Thanks to Graham for his
delightful MC-ing. But especially thanks to all of you who volunteered your time and efforts to make this
another success. And thanks to all those who came to the event and had fun. This year was a first for me
- being on the stage and helping with the prizes. It was my first opportunity to see the look on people’s
faces, the smiles, the laughter, the joy when someone won a prize. It made all the hard work, effort and
frustration worth every minute! Thanks to all who attended!

Ag Day - 2005
By Walt Gilbert
Thanks to the financial support of the Two
Rivers Jeep Club, some 450 fifth grade
students from four Illinois counties enjoyed Ag
Day at the Orr Agriculture Research Center
near Perry on April 29.
Children from Adams, Brown, Pike and Morgan
counties gathered at the Ag Center to explore
a variety of agriculture related occupations,
view demonstrations, and climb on a Jeep or
two.
Brad Smith, resource conservationist, stated
that support from the Two Rivers Jeep Club
once again made the Ag Day possible. "Without the financial support of the club, these children
would not be able to take part in this Ag Day experience," said Smith. "This field day experience
is not only enjoyable for the students and teachers, but it can open doors for occupational
choices in the future. The students are also able to see methods of soil conservation, view
wildlife and other agricultural related fields."
Those helping out were Alan Grady, Don Maxheimer, Dave Jacobs, Mike Phillips and Walt
Gilbert.
It was a Dark and Stormy Night
By Rick CulbersonÆ
It was a dark and stormy night. No hold on, wait just a
moment, that’s not the way to start this story. So let’s try
again. It was late Saturday night and the Safari’s over.
Thank God! This puts the second Safari under my belt
with the BLAST next. As the coordinator of both events, I
would like to THANK the many people who worked their
butts off to make the events the success that they are.
There are way too many people to name when we start in
February opening trails. All the people who show up to
clean trails: you folks are great! I want to thank you all
for the hours of work and no fun (Ha Ha) you spend
cleaning trails. Dave and Graham: a special thanks to you
two. I would hate to count the hours you two spend. Like I said, a big thanks to you two. Dino,
Deb, and Rachel: you three did spectacular on the raffle. Most of the people got a little
something to take home with them, other than body damage.

This brings up another special thanks to the sponsors. Without our sponsors we would not have
the prizes we give away. So please visit and use our sponsors, and tell them you heard of them
from Two Rivers Jeep Club.
Katherine Ball did a great job with her crew selling
raffle tickets. Sales were almost $4000! Don made
over $500 with his ice cream sales. Don gets a big
thanks for his work and donation to our Christmas
basket fund. Tony had such a good crew. I didn’t
hear one complaint about registration this year. The
Tech team did an outstanding job. I had only one
complaint: you guys put a Jeep with a locker only on
the 1 rated trails. But then I know who she was and
it could have been the driver. (Just kidding.) I know
she is a better driver than that. Chad and Frannie
you two did one great job. Not only did you have a
stand set up to sell our TRJC promotional items, you
got the t-shirts for the event, plus picked up and took
back everything from the VFW that we needed (raffle
tickets, TV, VCR, banners, and a truck load of
things.) I still don’t know what the lawn mower was
for, or are you trying to keep up with the Tates and
have your trail looking better than theirs? Could be

and authentic Safari hat trying to cajole people into
taking his trail.
trophies for the rodeo, I guess he was in charge.
Never did hear, but his crew did a good job on the
rodeo. Like I said, there are way too many people to name (American Legion crew, Pittsfield
Police, DARE, Lions Club, Jeep washing crews, the people of Pike and Brown Counties, and on
and on and on). I also need to thank the Pittsfield Bowling Alley, Sears, and John Woods College
for use of their parking lots to stage the many trails we use.
Now for the doom and gloom. Last year the Blast did not
sell out. This year the Safari did not sell out. If you, as
members of the Two Rivers Jeep Club, want to continue
having two events a year, we need help. We need you to
find people with 4x4s to come and ride on our trails. If
every member would sign up, or if they can’t, then find a
person down the street or up the street. Anyone with a new
Jeep or older Jeep could be invited. They need to know
just what their Jeep can do. We would have to turn people
away. The people of Pike and Brown Counties rely on us
to help support their community. A lot of these people rely
on us to spend what little money we have left after fixing
our Jeeps. Come on folks, we need your help if we are
going to continue being the #1 Jeep Club in the mid-west.
That way we keep trails we have and sometimes are
offered new land to build trails on.

Another happy winner. How could we NOT have
another event? Think of the hours of entertainment
Chuck will have. Think of the money he will save not
replacing axles, transfer cases, tires, and so on.
Perhaps he’ll just bring THIS to the next event instead
of his Jeep?

Now let me tell you about my time. Everything went well Thursday night. Like I said, only one complaint
about the Tech crew. Of to the motel I go, had a drink or two and then to bed. Friday morning comes
early. I go get gas and coffee and a bag of ice, ready for a big day. When we get to the line up, I find out I
will be going to a different trail than I planned on. One of the landowners has asked a few State of Illinois
Department of Agriculture people out to see what we do. The Department is trying to find way to bring
tourism to the state using the land used for agriculture within the state. This was a positive meeting with
Jeep rides for those who wanted to go. I think all of the people from the state took a Jeep ride, and boy,
did we show them a ride from the smiles on their faces. Thanks, Craig, for not taking them on the rock trail
you took us on!!!
Then off to Rockport to see if we could find the people on the Atlas trail. I never did find them as I stopped
in Pittsfield to check on a few things and never did make it back on the road. After a clean up, off to
dinner. That is some good food placed out there by the American Legion folk. I know they work a lot of
hours to cook and clean up after us. With a few of the prizes given away Friday night, and me not a
winner, it was back to the Pike for a cool one.
Sometime during the night someone defiled my Jeep. Me, being the president of the local FAG chapter in
Pana, (FAG = Fans Against Gordon - that’s for you NASCAR fans.) On Saturday morning, someone had
placed Jeff Gordon stickers all over my Jeep. I couldn’t even see out the windshield. All I have to say
about it is, “He bloody well better watch out!” After a quick clean up (my Jeep, not me) it’s off to the Legion
for breakfast. I have TJ, the video man, with me today so we are going to try to hit a few trails. If you
remember last year I had TJ with me when a massive log jumped up and took out my clutch slave cylinder
within about the first 5 minutes of the trail.
This year all went well. It’s off to New Salem trail. Got to see Dave Christensen do a cluster and get
turned 180° around in a simple mud hole. I thought he was showing off and was going to come up the hill
backwards. Then he takes off up the trail the way we came until he could turn around and try it again. At
this time about 5 or 6 of us are on the ground laughing so hard our stomachs hurt. Dave came back and
this time drove right thought it without spinning a tire. Who knows???? Then it’s off to Susie’s Knob. As
we drive thought the creek we join up with the group. Randy takes TJ and me with Dave following up
ahead to the video location. On a hill that a two wheel drive could
make, I snap both upper control arms on my front axle. Now I
don’t know but I think it’s the Video Man jinx. Next time someone
else gets TJ and I will follow. Or it could have been the bloody Jeff
Gordon stickers, who knows? Dave, Hayward, and I are looking
at this breakage and wondering how to get the Jeep off the trail.
We try jacking up the front of my Jeep but this will not let the axle
turn back around. We then put a jack on the differential and jack it
down from the Jeep body. Once it’s down we strap the top of the
axle back to the skid plate. Then with the winch cable we pull the
top back to the front. Hey, it worked better than the stock upper
control arm! So off to the road I go, and guess what? We made it.
At this point I said lets take it to town and off we go at about 10
Rick’s TJ --- in better days.
to 15 MPH. Look out Pittsfield hear we come! To the motel and
on the trailer, just about over.
After a clean up, this time me, down to the Legion for supper, and the raffle. Again the food was great,
and then to the raffle. We did have a few thank you’s to give out first. If there is anyone that I have
forgotten I’m very sorry. I want to thank everyone who helps put on the Safari, and with your good help
again we will have a fantastic Blast.

How not to be a Trail Guide
By Elmo
There was some hesitation in sign up day when I found out the powers to be had made the
Mongo Trail, trail # 13. Yes that would make it Friday the 13th trail. Now, I am not superstitious,
but it just didn’t sound good. The good part was the trail sign up only yielded three Jeeps
besides Todd and myself, as trail guides. I think the weather made people a little leery of Mongo
with all the hills and ravines.
Friday morning found us belly up to the great buffet provided by the American Legion’s dedicated
and friendly staff. Once we stopped eating, everyone began to look over the array of vehicles
assembled for the 4th annual Safari 4x4. The Mongo trail line up had been moved across the
street to the parking lot of the Sears store, Thank you, Sears! After the driver’s meeting, we
were off to the trail. Just a few miles into the ride out to the trail, I began to feel like something
was not right with my Jeep. Since we were headed to the trail via gravel road I just attributed the
squirmy feel to the off road tires which tend to
lose a little air due to hauling too much dirt
around in the beads. At one point in the travel to
the trail, the road becomes “paved” that is oil
and rock chipped to those of you familiar with
this type of pavement. At that point I figured I
had better stop and look. Sure enough the left
rear set of lug nuts had begun to remove
themselves from the vehicle. I remember
thinking before I put the Jeep on the trailer, I
should run a torque wrench on all the lugs, but
there was a phone call, the broken bolt that held
on part of the bumper, the broken weld on the
spare tire holder, and a myriad of other
distractions that needed my attention, so that didn’t happen.
As any good trail guide would do we looked at the problem and tried to fix it quick then made the
decision to leave me to fix it, while Todd the super trail guide without any breakdowns, continued
on to the trail and showed our guests how to run Mongo. All of our guests for the day were very
helpful both on the road and on the trail. Randy and his new found Jeeping buddy, Brent, were
running a 2004 Rubicon Gold with not a whole lot of modification. But a very capable driver and
helper made the run quite enjoyable. Randy hails from Strawn, IL, and Brent is pretty much a
local to the jeep club hailing from Mt Sterling, IL.
A special thanks to Jess and Kathy from the Decatur area. Jess and Kathy are true die hard 4
wheelers. Jess and Kathy met thru a set up date at Attica. Kathy says it helped that he had a cool
truck, a Chevy then but now she wised up and now they play with a ’99 black TJ. Jess has been
wheeling since sometime in ‘93 and Kathy since’ 95 or so. They are planning a wedding soon
and really would like a Jeep theme of some kind. The special thanks they deserve is for the great
pictures, no matter that they show me broken down.

Last but not least of our guests for the day, Darrell and Trish. Darrell and Trish drove from
Indianapolis area (Noblesville) to join our trek into the woods. Darrell and Trish are in the Red ’98
TJ. Darrell just cruised along like there was nothing to
our trail. They didn’t give up much personal info, but it
looked to me as though they were sandbagging. I think
Darrell is really a rock crawler in disguise, because he
made everything look to easy.
Todd the super trail guide, had no problem keeping up
with winch line toting, trail guiding and didn’t even roll
his Jeep over for fun this time. He did miss his
graduation commencement for becoming an LPN so
he could be a trail guide. Thanks and congratulations,
Todd, on your achievement.
New Salem’s Lost Trail
By Rick Culberson
It’s been rumored that Abe got lost looking for this trail, so in 2005
Carl (Airborne) and Donnie (Pokey) decided to see if they could find
it. What they did find after several weeks of clearing along with the
help of other club members is a fun trail that certainly keeps the driver
busy. The land this trail is on first belonged to Carl’s family in 1949
and part of it is still owned by Carl and Barb. On this run you won’t
just meander through the hills-you’ll go over them and down again
and if it’s not too wet, we’ll go back up them. Buck’s Hill is sure to
hold a surprise or two and if you ask Carl just who Buck was he might
share another of his long-winded tales with you. The “Gun Tree” is
still there as is the “Locust Grove” where you’ll experience more twists
and turns. Don’t miss “The Point of No Return” either or you might
not come back. Carl and Donnie are looking forward to showing you
another good time with Two Rivers and hope to see you on “The Lost
Trail”.
New Members
Please welcome the following new members. Make a special effort to welcome them at trail builders and events.
New folks can often be overwhelmed by the number of people in our club and we don’t always take the time to
welcome new members like we should. Remember what it was like when you were new. Make it YOUR job to
make these new people feel at home and a part of the best wheelin’ club in the country!

Thanks for the Memories
By Graham McNeill
By the time you read this I will no longer be the
Secretary/Treasurer of the Two Rivers Jeep Club.
I am retiring in an attempt to reduce some of the stress in my life.
I have not been particularly well this last year and the stress of
family and business is taking its toll. The Jeep club is not the
stress reliever it is supposed to be. I have had a ton of fun in the
club, met so many great people and sincerely hope to continue
those relationships for years to come.
I had planned to retire from the board last October but was
persuaded to stay on. I had intended to get through the
membership renewals, and then it was going to be after the
directory was printed. I finally settled on the Safari. My logic was that I knew that just about all the
major work would be done. I would have a chance to wrap up the Safari finances, process any
new memberships that came in right after the event and take care of some of the major duties
like the club's insurance renewals, etc. I thought the new secretary and/or treasurer would have a
chance to ease into their new duties instead of being slammed with all the work that follows the
AGM. I am fully prepared to work with my successor until they are ready to tell me I am no longer
needed.
The club is in a bit of a low. We need to some excitement and enthusiasm put back into the
club. We need some new (or old) members to step up to the plate and kick it in gear just like they
did when we started the BLAST. You are out there I know. You don’t have to fill the vacant seat
on the board to participate. If you have some ideas just send an e-mail or show up to a meeting
or just tell one of the Board Members. We need some volunteers to put some zip back into the
Kick Off dinner and help organize the club runs. It doesn’t have to be individuals; it can be groups
of members. Does anybody remember those fantastic Halloween night runs? OR Freesen is
planning to do a night run soon. Call him if you have any ideas that you think would make a night
run even better. To make the BLAST and Safari more successful we need event flyers distributed
to all the Jeep dealers in your town and to all the off-road clubs in your area. We need to pull in
more new Jeepers. Help get them started in this hobby.
Please, give some thought to helping out. Just a few hours of your time each year could make
being a member more fulfilling and the club even better.
I will be working in Germany and the UK from the 15th to the end of June and away for at least 2
weeks of July but will be still reachable via e-mail during that time if you want to chat and offer
any suggestions. I hope to see you soon on the trails, and if Rick will have me, I will run off at the
mouth as your event Master of Ceremonies and raffle/auctioneer in August.
And that’s that and all about it.

Trail of Life
By Chief
Every day we find ourselves facing the challenges of the "Trail of Life". Every other month I face
the challenge of writing two newsletter columns, one for TRJC, and one for the Illinois
Firefighter's Association. Originally both columns were to be a forum to disseminate information
about the organization's members and their life's happenings. As time passes, I am finding
myself receiving less and less information from members which forces me to reveal some of my
most humbling moments as well as some of my triumphs just to fill the column. I will say it was
not easy to relate the story of being face to face with a wild and crazed raccoon while standing in
my "tighty whities" in my bathroom. I still shudder, thinking of that intruder, with those beady little
eyes staring at me like I was his next gourmet dinner. There are still several chapters of the
"wars" unwritten. The whole saga is still just too unsettling for me to think about, let alone write
about it.
I had hopes of some interesting happenings during the Safari on Murphy's Law and there were a
few. On Friday, Trail Guide Randy Newport, while in "carburetor alley" demonstrating the amount
of air which can be had if the "alley" is driven correctly, got so high he broke off his spare tire
holder on the rear of his TJ. This would not be a concern until Saturday when Randy found a
sharp rock in the creek and sliced a tire. This was not a problem; we just borrowed a spare from
another Jeep and were on our way. Then Randy, whose parents apparently would not let him
climb trees while growing up, climbed a tree with his TJ and nearly rolled over backwards right
before my very eyes (more gray hair.)
Next, a young lad on his first off road experience, managed to get hung up on the very stump
which had it's way with Doug Watret's (aka Stumpy) TJ's left front fender during a previous work
weekend. We were forced to cut the stump to free the Jeep and then had to make an underwater
recovery so we could present the stump to Doug, who proudly placed it in his back seat and
vowed it would be taken home and displayed in a place of honor. Other than that, things went
uncommonly smooth. Hey, how about that young couple with the new dark blue Cherokee? I
think their name was Miller. It doesn't get much better than the Safari weekend. Good friends,
good trails and good weather and most of all GOOD FOOD.
Finally, let's not be bashful about telling others about our club and events. I am making packets
with information about the Blast and the web site and passing them out to all the Jeeps I happen
to encounter. If we all did a little more promoting, we would not have any problems filling the
Safari or the Blast.
•

Our deepest sympathies to Mike (Spanky) Meyers, whose grandmother passed away
recently.
Our condolences to Shelly and Rick Culberson. Shelly's mother passed away the
weekend before the Safari.
Words of Wisdom: If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.
See ya on the Trail

RRock Rock Crawl Challenge
By: Frannie Suhre
On May 14th and 15th, several TRJC members took part in the RRock Rock Crawl Challenge at
Rockport Off Road Park. These guys put a lot of effort in to making sure their vehicles were ready
for the competition and were well worth watching them as they competed. The drivers also took
special care of their Jeeps so that they did not have to do major repairs before the Safari.
Over the Top Crawlers consisted of our own Tim Miller and Alan Grady. Team Toumbs Repair
was comprised of our own John Toumbs and Craig Laurich. Team Smith was our own Frankie
Smith with spotter Jordan Gerard. For Team Toumbstone, John Toumbs spotted for Brad
Behymer.
In the Modified stock class, Tim Miller with the wonderful spotter, Alan Grady, took 2nd place with
only 16 points. John Toumbs’ wonderful spotting capabilities took Brad Behymer to 3rd place.
Tim Miller then turned around and took 1st place in Modified Stock-Division 2 with only 16 points
once again. Looks like Tim and spotter, Alan are consistent with their points if nothing else. Brad
and John also took 3rd place in this division. They also had the same number of points as their
first division.
The Legends class ran on Sunday and had a lot of challenges. They were running much of the
same stages that the bigger rigs had run the day before. Everyone put forth a lot of effort!
Spotter, Craig Laurich took John Toumbs to 1st place! And, only 1 point behind (what a close
competition!) was Alan Grady with Tim Miller as his spotter in 2nd place.
Unfortunately luck was not with Frankie Smith, but he did show up ready to compete in the
Modified Stock class. At least his day did not last as long as some of the others. He had plenty of
time to do repairs to get ready for the Safari.
It was very nice to see so many of our club members competing, with several others there
watching. We only wish we could have seen more people there cheering them on. All of the
drivers and spotters did an excellent job in the competition. Rumor has it that all of these teams
will be back at the next Challenge on September 10th and 11th! We hope to see many spectators
there!
If you get a chance, be sure to ask Alan and Tim about their success, I am sure either one of
them would love to tell you all about it! Good job all of you guys; I plan on seeing you again in
September, living up to the high expectations that you have set.

Another “satisfied customer!”
This letter was sent to one of our sponsors, thanking them for the their donation.
I attended the Illlini 4X4 Safari in Pittsfield put on by Two Rivers Jeep Club. As I walked by the table of
prizes I noticed a box with the Attitude Performance decal on it containing a Detroit True Trac posi unit for
a Dana 30. My thought was that I could have used a locked front earlier that day. I can't believe my luck as
later I won it in the raffle!! I wanted to thank you personally for the generous donation and let you know that
the emcee of the event did a good job of letting everyone know about who gave this prize. Thanks for
supporting the event, the club, and 4X4 off-roading.
