Was there a Conclave?
Last time I went was an f'ing blast! (Don't remember if it was called a "conclave".) Thomas brought his Pinz "Mystery Machine", Daniel was cooking up some serious vittles, Garrett was getting some chick pregnant in his tent, Walter was casting some flies in a pond, and we saved a redneck family in a full size Chevy truck on a buggy trail!

That was not the Justin Monnin Show. That was the invite only gig that preceded Conclave. If you remember it cost $20 and a can of chili and we had a blast.
You got lazy, slacker!
Lat time I saw you ..... it was at a restaraunt, not an offroad event!

Some have. But pay attention to D-90 Source, the guys who went to Conclave. These pussies would cut their dick off to save $5k on a salvage title rust bucket truck. But hey, it says Defender across the hood.
everyone started hating each other. the rover crowd (at least the mid atlantic area) has turned into the hatfield and mccoys.
nothing stopping anyone from having weekend trips in lieu of 'events', but who gives a shit enough anymore???
if you're referring to the 'good ole days of mar' like the intent of the conclave then stop holding your breath. goose justin and daniel tried the first year and i think they did a good job. those days on the east coast are gone.
the conclave went on last weekend, and it looks as though people went and had a good time. lets not shit on the parade…….which is one of the big reasons these days are not those days.
The same thing happened in the Hummer club when the H2 came out. Things went to shit. People who bought an H2 suddenly thought they owned a real Hummer. The Hummer Club of America accepted the H2 in to the National club and these things started showing up at the various events.
The car is not the problem, though. It's the people. The same type of person who buys a H1 is not the same kindda guy who buys an H2. If the H1 owner bought an H2 it was probably for their wife or daughter. It wasn't their pride and joy.
So when these two types of people came together they just simply didn't relate to each other and things went to shit for a while. Things come full circle.

There was a time when a man and his Discovery could spend the weekend with other like-minded dummies in Rovers. You could sit in a big tent passing around inflatable barn animals eating good food, including rum cake, and get just drunk enough for some night ops. A man could don a pair of NODs and infiltrate a rave party in the middle of the woods cutting off their generator. You could drink Boones Farm for breakfast and Guiness for dinner. You could find humor in men like Dances with Cheese and heckle slide shows from Bill,Burke. I would agree - Rovers got cheap and words like "overlanding" became fashionable. I long for the good old days!
Here's how I see it, you clowns got older and more righteous. I've witnessed it plenty. Piss on that. Talk all you want, but get your junk to the trail. You talk of the "good old days" (I wasn't party to such) but you don't show up to events. As for myself, I enjoy a good bit of debauchery while camping, so long as it doesn't reach a point of damaging someone's property.
You want to wake up and start the morning off w/cheap booze? Hell Yeah I say. I'll wake the dead w/a "It's time to effing Rave" every morning. I wake early, I have to crap you know. Night rides, I've got plenty of lights.
W/that said, I'd like to make next years Conclave, and I challenge you to come along. Give up the keyboard pounding, tell your significant other that you're busy, throw a truck together, and bring your sorry ass.
