I got tested Sat arvo and yeah it was a minor inconvenience but I'm glad they are out there.

For drugs and alcohol and even speeding I agree. For defecting 4wds not so much

Think i did well this time, headed off early Friday, bugger all people did some more remote tracks the next day saw a few groups but not to bad, then headed home sat night late and was no one around. . . Wasn't really a long weekend away tho more of an overnighter but still had some fun! . . . I do remember saying to myself at one stage never again on long weekends. . . It can get pretty crazy.

Makes my blood boil mate. Pull me over search me for drugs, alcohol all you like... I don't mind. But specifically being targeted for the 4x4 is a bit low I reckon. I got pulled over in Mansfield twice. It's almost unavoidable. Stopped at bakery, station across the road, driving away lights behind me. Done nothing wrong... Its just they saw a slightly lifted and done up Patrol nothing else. They looked over the car quickly, not even breatho-ed me and then cya later.
Very annoying.

I think half of Melbourne was getting their last camping long weekend trip in before our hibernation period until Melbourne cup.

Yarra Glen was a rush all Friday with campers and towing boats through town.

Not much around though really. Geoff got breath tested about 5km from camp yesterday when he went to go for a fish. Passed a cop in Noojee today but nothing out of the ordinary.

We were very lucky too. Lots of people around Craig's hut but only probably saw maybe 20 or 30 other 4wds the whole 150kms we did

I've posted the pictures from the weekend in my Patrol thread for those that are interested
