Sorry for the short notice. Things have been hectic.

I'll be there with my Deuce and my Cherokee and a total of two people. I'll bring some firewood.

Can somebody else bring firewood too?

 

[cucvrus]

I can bring firewood. Was the wood I brought last time acceptable? Also should I bring some HMMWV run flats? I heard you liked them.

 

[max1008]

If anyone has an old CB laying around, throw it in your truck. This will help with communications during the ride.

Yes to all of it!

 

[cucvrus]

Sign up Rick Sr and Rick Jr. What else do you need?

 

[camogriz]

I'll be there with my Jeep. Mike Maddawg bought my CUCV. Looking forward to another great time.

 

[PlethoraOfGuns]

I have a prior offroading event in southern NJ on that Sunday morning to attend. I'd say count me in with my M1031, I'm just gonna take it easy this time and try not to rip the cab off my chassis or blow up my engine.

 

[maddawg308]

I got some firewood as well.

Sign me up, possibly one passenger but not a definite yet.

 

[jwentz57]

Yep, CB's are a great idea.

 

[irishvin]

we'll have to catch the spring event when it comes up unless i can get out of being on call lol

 

[King]

Unfortunately I will not make this one with my current schedule, but I hope my schedule will be more flexible for the Spring. Any chance there is a weekend already picked out, the more notice I have the easier it is to keep my schedule open!

Thank you.

[GregSLSTJ]

To short of notice for me, I won't be able to make it. Maybe we can do a mini rally in November..

 

[drecon]
