same to you. I highly recommend going over to the new property for the first day. Lots of smooth open trails over there.

I may arrive Friday morning instead of Saturday morning - I have to see how things work out.
Start Time
What time do we want to figure on heading out Friday and Saturday. 9 am?
Medical Cases (edit: the cases are gone)
I still have a few Hardigg medical cases to get rid of. Uncle Sam Paid $800 for each one. All I need is $60. They are in excellent shape and appear almost new. The seals and the ten locking clasps on each case work. This is them - Pelican-Hardigg*472-MED-30180802*Medical Supply Trunk
Deuce Troop Seats
I also have a set of deuce troop seats. They are in average shape, some splits, two of the uprights need to be replaced as I had to cut them out. Fully functional prior to removal. I have 5 extra uprights and they are included, only 2 are needed. The right pieces to complete the set and extras are included. All I need is two cases of Rolling rock and they are yours.
PM me if you are interested in the cases or seats and I will bring them to RC.
Anybody else have stuff to get rid of?

If anyone wants to help out an unemployed MV enthusiast, I can bring any of the things below. PM me for details, a lot of these are listed in the classifieds...

I have been on on all the green tails and they are fine for an M35A2. Some are very narrow and we have had to cut a few trees in past years. One was so steep some of the guys peed their pants, but I say they were not up to the task of driving. If it is really steep put her in low range and stay off the breaks. You can't steer with the front wheels locked up on gravel.
All on the deep mud can be avoided. If you want to get wet you can, but all have a go around. Some of the rocky trails are a PITA. Just don't lock your thumbs around the steering wheel or you get them broken.
The new trails look really easy.
It is no fun if you do not take some risks. If you are not sure just follow and watch. We usually go so slow you can watch the leaves turn color. Everyone is there to help if you get in trouble. After many miles on these trails no one has had real trouble. Usually a chain saw solves the problems.
Now let's go.

The cases are gone. The seats still remain. Turns out I have 5 pieces of uprights but still the right parts to make a full set. PM me if interested.
Today I ordered short ribs which I will smoke and bring with me. Still trying to work out my arrival time and will know for sure tomorrow am. I'll be there somewhere between Thursday afternoon and Friday afternoon.
Trail Start times ???
What time do we want to hit the trails? This will help everybody get out at the same time and plan arrival times. I think we set up a 9 am start time last year. Sound good? No? Thoughts?
Reserving Spots
THEROAD, so far you are the first arrival on Thursday. Can you reserve campsites for the crew?
Thursday Arrivals
Who plans on arriving Thursday?
Get those trucks ready boys!
Cheers

To the first person that will be there. Please rope off some spots for fellow members, and I would advise you from getting the spots right next to the entrance. I do not care for the sound of trailers bouncing in the gate all night. I'm also going to have to park further down because I will be driving the m916 towing a 48' trailer.
The problem with the other end is all the dust. Good news is it looks like really good weather this year. I don't remember the noise, but then alcohol helps deaden the senses. The treed area has some nice shade, but we have stayed at both spots.
kastein please what are you the tree police? If we can't get through then a tree a may get sacrificed for the greater good. Not like the place will miss a tree or three. We found out cutting them is quicker then just running them over and getting stuck on the root ball. Just check out the pic from 09.
