This is sad news. John brought this "FORUM" (not club) back from the dead. I bought my X new in 2006 and didn't participate here because it was too much of a "club". John brought the second coming of SCCX and has worked hard to make it what it has become. A place for everyone. In the past club runs we're only lead by the same few people and in the same fashion. Now it's an open ended come one come all environment making adults responsible for themselves. I have seen, first hand, John promote this site to people he meets in parking lots, on other forums and on trail runs. I've seen him pour his blood and sweat into this place. He even prints and hands out stickers, on his own dime, for everything.
I don't buy that you are too busy.

What Danny said!
The part that I high lighted is the closest thing this FORUM has to a mission statement. Again, well said Danny
Thanks to all, for your faithful encouragement. No one man or committee could replace John/GhostX.
We will see John on the trails again after MOAB. But not as a trail leader, just as an exemplary group member having fun.
I will be staying on the BOD as long as it's fun to do so. This group is completely about it's members.
Things will go about the same as before but with a little less coddling and more stepping up.
I will miss John's coddles
I'm am stepping up to keep this great forum alive and I challenge everyone to do the same.
I don't mean more board members, I mean trail leaders and initiative takers. This forum of enthusiastic Xterra off roaders is the perfect place to meet and trail with good, quality, fun people.
Thanks to those that responded to John's Comm. Poll. The members so far have decided that CBs will be the standard. But hey, if you want to lead a trail of only four trucks using FRS comms, please post it up! That is what this forum is all about!!!
That's it for now, thanks for working with me through this transition.
See ya on the trail. Randy/Duffman
