I was just trying to figure out how many pounds of empty beer cans I need to pay for this trip. The web site didn't mention cost of camping. Lucky for me, two of the four, are under 16. The way I figure it it is going to be about $150 for the three days For me and the wife. The kids age 8 and 6 are free. Does this sound right?

I will be attending with my gf and daughter.We plan on arriving saturday morning and camping til sunday.I am just trying to figure out which one my 4 m923a2's i want to bring???????Every one has a different personality and sweet spot while driving.I have about a 2hr drive to get there. I will also bring firewood,a grill, propane, cooler with beers and food. I cant wait.

 

[shenkmen]

Bring them all.

Let's set a departure time for hitting the trail Saturday AM. That will help those coming in Saturday to get there and ready to hit the trails and help Shenkman get his ass in gear in the morning, seeing how he needs to make and break camp like an f---ing MASH unit to change locations. (Just messing with you buddy, part of my annoying conversation).

Probably bringing my 931A1, maybe towing my 404 mog. Working on a receiver hitch for the 931 this weekend.

What CB channel do yall use ? Could help to monitor, on the way up. thank you.

 

[shenkmen]

I don't have a CB. Others might but I've not heard of it. Good idea. I believe madawg is a hammy.

 

[Timberwolf22]

Good idea.... pick a CB channel for usage at the event.

There are a few of us that are HAM's as well.
Callsign is K1TEW and MadCat2 is K2TEW don't have much gear mounted in the truck yet.

Maddawg's signature shows him as W1AMR looks like there are a few of us running around with Vanity CallSigns.

 

[Corvette1974]

The CB channel we used last time was 34, it worked perfectly. That's what ill use unless we decide otherwise.

I just put a new wheel cylinder on this weekend. All the tools needed are fresh in my head and I made a list. I' have the list of tools there with me plus plenty extra.

How are the meals going. Every man for himself, or are we doing group meals? I can bring a case or two of hamburger patties frozen. No matter how much fun we have off roading, a hungry belly can ruin it all. I don't eat Marine Corp chow any more either. Mre's always plugged me up.

 

[maddawg308]

In the past it was pretty much every man for himself cooking. Some groups were formed. Whatever you want to do, is good. I plan on bringing my own...

 

[shenkmen]

Yep, everybody usually brings their own grub. Sometimes a bunch of burger will be cooked and handed out. Feel free to do as you wish. Everybody loves a hot burger.

Hi Jason,

Are you arriving after we hit the trails at 9:30? We'll be out for the day and vehicles must head out in at least groups of two.

 

[shenkmen]

Everyone,

We'll assemble at 9:30 Saturday morning. Pack a lunch as we'll be out for the day.

 

[olbucksnort]

I might be on the same schedule as Jason. We'll head out with ya' in our Bobber .

shenk,

Because of the race last April, we were only able to do the East side of the road, which costs extra for those driving. Might want to do the west side this time, it has lots more acreage anyways to explore. There are also some green trails that we don't often hit on the West side, some who like a challenge might like doing those again. They are green, and we got the large trucks down them before, there is just a lot of twists and turns and rocks to make it interesting.

Also, one idea I had since April was: we always go out in a gigantic group, big trucks and small trucks together, and it's great but tends to block an entire trail for everyone else out there not in our group. Some other wheelers complained last time that "those military trucks" were taking up the whole trail and blocking it for everyone. Perhaps we should think about, instead of 1 HUGE group, break apart into smaller groups. We don't need to do it all the time, but it's just an idea.
