Fall 2011 Rausch Creek rally

[blackrock]

I have a lot to do to be ready by this fall. I hope to be able to make it with or without the Deuce. Jim

Its ok Jim you can ride with me or josh

 

[Tlauden]

Looking forward to it! This will be my first MV/SS rally and I wanna get to know some of ya!!! I really hope I can make it! And I MIGHT have an open passenger seat, depends if I can talk my girlfriend into coming up.

well i broke my right leg a week ago. i hit a deer when i was on the bike. hope i recover in time for the rally! broke my tibula and fibula (the 2 bones that connect the knee and ankle). i cant put weight on it for 6 weeks, then we'll see from there. at least its not a clutch foot!

 

[vinnies10]

Im going to try to make it this yea hopefully nothing breaks the day befor

 

[Wildchild467]

at least i know the deuce is ready to go now. just having it sit a while before the trip... oh well.... she'll start right up in a couple weeks im sure!

 

[powerhouseduece]

Well.. like said before, if the Ga falls through for me I will be at RC. But this time, ill be towing the 818 up!

 

[spicergear]

Hey Tom, you can just set the throttle and GO!

I hit a deer on a four wheeler one time. Owie.

 

[Wildchild467]

I know... I thought about that already! Haha! Need to have a strong food for brakes too... The brakes work great so I think I could pull it off!

 

[camogriz]

I wish you a speedy recovery, Wildchild. Looking forward to the rally.

Well, looking out from here, any dates will work for me. I suspect I'll bring a 6x6, either one of the deuces or the M813A1. I'll have the S-280 camper in whatever truck I bring so I'd want to hitch a ride with someone for the trail ride.

Chris is hoping to have his deuce mounted water purification expandable van to camper conversion project done by then. I think he is intending to bring it. It's not exactly a Rausch Creek trail ride candidate either so he'd be looking for a ride, too.

In any case we could hook up our pioneer tool trailer and plunk a generator and wheelbarrow air compressor in it with a set of air tools and work lights.

If anyone wants to help do the work of setting it up I am willing to bring a GP medium tent. I have the heavy steel arctic pins for them which I think are going to be needed in soil as rocky as Rausch Creek.

If folks can come to some kind of agreement on a preference in critter parts I'll bring one of the smokers and we can dine on smoked critter. A whole ham, whole pork shoulder or whole beef chuck are all good choices but if folks want beef or pork ribs or something like smoked turkey that's all good too. The ribs and poultry get into a fair amount of waste and debris to haul out, though. The first three choices have little of either. If folks are willing to pitch in for the meat I'll cook whatever the consensus is. I have no problem cooking on more than one day.

Now if the darn rain will hold off...

So is someone going to start an official thread? Depending on which weekend it is, it might only be a month and a half away

 

[Wildchild467]

I forgot my dada shoulder surgery is the 21st and with my broken leg, I really hope I can make it. I know dad was saying if it was the weekend before he would go. But then again, I don't know how my leg will be. I'm not an expert at this broken leg and heal time. I broke it on the 5th, so would I be ok to drive a deuce by then and camp? I hope so. I go to see the doc on the 23rd so I'll see if I can get a better prediction. Too bad I couldnt have butchered the deer I hit with the bike if it was ok.... Coulda cooked up some young tender venison! Hahaha!

 

[powerhouseduece]

Tom, don't push it. If you end up braking it again at RC you'll regret it. Just take it easy and remember, we have one in the spring too

Lance, I keep forgetting your **** tire!! I'm planning on going to the Ga rally but if anyone around me is heading up I'll throw the tire on their truck.

Hi,

Let's make it official... October 20th - 23rd.

- Thursday is a dedicated travel and setup day for those trekking long distances.
- Fri and Sat. are trail/activity days
- Sunday is mostly a pack up and depart day although many wheel if they're not far from home

I kinda feel the same way as Lance; with each year's event I'm attending more for the camping/get together experience than the off roading experience. I'm starting to take things apart on my Deuce so I'll be riding in the M923 and we'll be using it more as a permanent camper and may not take it out on the trails.

Thank you Lance for offering a grille and tent. I don't mind helping out. If you have easy access to Game Meats (I'm sure you do) that'd be great, We'll gladly cough it up for food supply costs. $$

 

[LanceRobson]

Matt, the tire could wait for Aberdeen. Besides, it may be the down payment on an inspection or pick up somewhere near you someday.....

Dave, I offered a smoker but could bring a grill, too. as far as game I've got some duck and goose left but no enough for a herd. I have a lot of vacuum packed venison. We're going to be making a big batch (about 70 pounds) of venison sausage soon and I could bring some of that. It'll mostly be breakfast sausage with some brats and Italian sausage.

We've marked our calendar for those dates including telling the inlaws that we need to use the house 30 mi or so north in Locust Valley. Also made reservations to have the Blue Flu on Friday - mebbe the symptoms will show up Wed. night.

Asked another guy yesterday if he'd run with us in his deuce. Told him he's gotta get out for more than Augusta.

As a newcomer, I really want to see what this is all about.

Now if I can only make it happen. Looking forward to it a lot.

 

[Wildchild467]

Rausch Creek rally is a great time! Depending on how
My broken leg heals, I'll try to be down there... It's such a great time! You'll love it, promise!

 

[Tlauden]

Ok calendar is marked! Looking forward to it!!!!
