For those that didn’t know Chris Fry [CCX] or the story of his untimely passing see:
http://www.xterraownersclub.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=009047#000000 and http://www.xterraownersclub.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=009050#000000

We built the memorial to honor him, read the poem in the guest book [below], and had a moment of silence just as the sun went down. A fitting tribute at the exact site that we last spent time with Chris while experiencing one of the most incredible sunsets I’ve have ever seen.

If you want to pay your respects please visit the memorial site & sign the guest book. If you do so please post-up pictures, thoughts, and observations.
Mile ~46.5 of the trail off Caruthers Canyon Rd just past the cabin
email me if you what the GPS info

Photos by me, Xterrah, Wolfman, and Duenorth. Would be great if somebody could make this a sticky :-)

In Gods sweet hands I gently rest
Laying my head in a place that’s best
An Angel took me far into the light
A beautiful place of sheer delight

Please don’t grieve, we’ll meet again
If the time’s right as God knows when
With those before me are family friends
In a beautiful place where all life ends

Just look up and always know this is true
An Angel in Heaven I’m here for you
My leaving was not the very final end
Know we’ll meet again, on this depend

No fear, no violence or war rages here
Only love and peace, serene and sincere
Fear not for me, grieve not once at all
Knowing you miss me are tears that fall

Move on in life and enjoy your own time
I’m safe, happy here, believe me I’m fine.

Thanks
Brian

Quoting Xtoolbox “we put our hearts and souls together to honor Chris and had a great time doing so.” Here's a closer picture of the plaque for the wording, along with a link to some pictures from the trip. Mojave Road - CCX Memorial

Awesome Respect paid

wow, great memorial. Sorry to hear.

A year later and I was really stoked to see CCX’s memorial site in pretty good shape and the 3 pages of guest book entries.

Took off the plexglass; cleaned the plaque up, then resealed it with silicon from Jeff which I hope will keep the moisture out this time. Anyway, I felt really good when we took off after I wrote a few words in the book for a great person I still miss; RIP.

Glad it is still in good shape
