Also, for us non-members who would like to camp... McLean has a bunch of loops left for camping that weekend, so if anyone else is interested, we should reserve a few.

JJ,

How many people/vehicles can occupy one camp site?

When are you heading out? Maybe, we can meet-up and go out together...

Whatever you feel the course and what you learn is worth to you, all the money goes back to the trail fund so we can do trail projects and maintenance

Would like to extend a HUGE thankyou to Scott for putting on this run today. Seemed very much like it was a success. I wish I was driving with you guys, but will be sure to have my XJ workin good for next years run to help out. I had a blast as winch wench in Rubiclone today, and it was definately good to see such a great crowd out there today!

Thanks again to Scott, Dana, Kevin, and all the other volunteers for a great day!
I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...

Thanks guys for a great day!

I think all of the organizers did a great job in explaining 4x4ing to everyone and how to do it safely and enjoyably. I also think all of the participants that showed up at the beginning to receive instruction and some play time in the gravel pit learned a lot, generally followed the rules out on the trail, enjoyed themselves, and helped each other out.

A special thanks to those that helped me in the gravel pit when I tested the limits of off-camber in my JKU. I think I actually experienced greater off camber angles on the trail but perceiving that I could roll a couple times down into the pit definately increased the 'pucker factor'.

If I could make one suggestion it would be to perhaps break-up such a large group into smaller groups for the trail. I understand a lot of people want to take advantage of this great opportunity and the association wants to include as many people as possible. However, 24+ rigs on the trail seems to get spread out quite a bit and it may even impact others on the trail (getting by us as necessary).

All-in-all though, it was a great experience.

Thanks again!

Jeff

P.S. How do I make a donation to the trail fund (what/who do I write on the check and where do I send it)?
