It's got a good story too. 2011 tornado decided to knock over the pole it was on. A city worker have me a few of them. Glass is good , wires and bulbs are good. 150 watt I think. Get a control box off of the interwebs and play traffic controller at home.

Yes, about $26 on ebay. Here is one.

One like this is what I have on my traffic light in the barn.

I actually have a stop light already wired up, on a post, with the controller hooked up and working as a lamp that I will be donating for the auction along with a bunch of street signs. I'll post some pics later this week. Lets just say I had a hobby besides just 4x4's when I was in college.

ibrokeit · Jan 13, 2014

Interesting. I have always wanted a stop light. Dunno what ill do with it, but who cares.

I've never participated in something like this, so clarify something for me. It doesn't seem that there is any bonus for being first / early, so that should cut down on people driving around the park at 75mph in beast mode. But are trinkets placed at the tops of obstacles with a judge there to determine that you actually go up it instead of just take the bypass? Or is going up obstacles even necessary? And if not, what is the point?

LandSpeeder · Jan 14, 2014

It's poker. That's the point. To play poker. Otherwise, there is no point. But I like to play poker.
Being I a mall crawler, I won't be able to make most climbs, so I hope it's not based on making the obstacle.

Here is some clarification. No obstacles. Just a game of Poker. I will place these trinkets in a bucket of some sort. More than likely they will be near certain main points of the park. Just a leisure cruz around the park.

Sorry, this is rock crawling, I thought everything had to be hyper-competitive.

I'm in the same boat as you Brock. I want it but not sure where the wife will let me put it. I'm thinking on our long driveway. At the beginning of our driveway I want a motion sensor that turns it on with a timer to turn it off after 5 minutes. Maybe that will slow my wife down. lol :****:

Nah man just something fun to do while wheeling the entire park. :****:

Yay or Nay on Ducks Unlimited signed prints?

It doesn't hurt my feelings either way, but if they'll make the charity money, I'll send/bring them.

That's an example of his work.

My niece, Julie Grace, was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome in early 2013. Rett Syndrome is a leading cause of disability in women, a spontaneous genetic disorder that could happen to any little girl. Every day, 17 girls are diagnosed with Rett Syndrome which robs them of the ability to walk, talk and even eat. The girls generally start out meeting all the normal milestones the first year then lose speech, motor control and functional hand use, and many suffer from seizures, orthopedic and severe digestive problems, breathing and other autonomic impairments. Most live into adulthood, and require total, round-the-clock care. Julie Grace is the sweetest thing , and, I am very proud to be her Uncle Steve.

This year's proceeds from the 2014 Shamrock Run will be donated to the International Rett Syndrome Foundation (IRSF). IRSF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and is the largest private source of funds for biomedical and clinical research on Rett syndrome (www.rettsyndrome.org). Thank you for being a part of the cause . This will lead to a CURE.

I hope to see y'all there!

Thanks for telling your story Steve. I am proud that this is the charity for 2014. Sorry I can't make it this year, but I sure would like you to take pictures of some of the nicer auction items and post them on the event FaceBook page. I sure would like the ability to either give my bids to someone that could bid for me, or allow me to phone in and bid. Just because I cannot be there does not mean I can't support the auction.

Eric is going to pay dearly for that chair. And you may just have to go into savings to take the traffic light home. And I need to know what Ben wants, I have a little payback on that $75 jar of shine he bid me up on last year.
