Ugh... I'm going to Disneyland at the end of the month because my wife and her group of girlfriends really want to go. Not looking forward to the crowds. I was really hoping that the new quota system would make it less of a sea of people, clearly I was wrong.
We went 15 years ago as part of our honeymoon. Thank God you can get alcohol there now.

I keep wondering why I keep volunteering, and have to agree with Marc and Kevin, it's a way to give back to the sport, share local knowledge, and help educate people in the off road arena. Every year I swear I'm going to cut back on volunteering and do more private wheeling, and then I volunteer again. It must be an addiction. I'm working all 4 days at Winter 4x4, but did cut back to working only 3 of the first 4 days at EJS. I never feel like I get enough wheeling and look forward to hard trails with small capable groups, to just have fun.
I am doing nothing with regard to volunteer work this year. XJ died, YJ is on Jack stands and buggy isn't finished. I get to hang out with Stan and Jeff all 4 days. Going to be a blast. Katelynn is helping with the Lady's Run on Saturday with Susan as a trail leader. It is going to be a fun week. It is WORK to be a trail leader.

Yes. I check out the exits when I enter a building as well as have to be facing the entrance so I can observe the scene.

I don't know if it is my risk avoidance mentality or what it is.

Same here. I like to survey the room/environment. I'm sure I'm not as "situationally aware" as I really SHOULD be, but I am higher than the average Joe Schmucatelli

I go to events to see people I like.... if we're going wheeling, it's fun to go do things with other people that like those things too, but then, it's usually small groups, like 5 rigs or something. I've never signed up for a group ride and probably never will. USUALLY I'm doing something at big events anyway though, so, I'm already there. EJS, I really only go for the vendors' show.
