You should bring along the usual day trip/work type stuff like clothes, boots, work gloves, water, food, etc...

And a JK Unlimited 2009, Gibson exhaust, Volant CAI/Snorkel, Superchip, DUI firepower ignition, Rustys 3.25" basic lift .

You might want to pre setup some where on the outside of that pretty jeep to mount garbage bags  ;D

Sadly myself and Rizzicon work Mon-Sat. If it rains and cancels work or there's a group going Sunday we are both more than interested.

Looks like they put in a fire ban in place but not trail closure for the weekend so we will need to go ahead with the clean up. With the fireban it may kee the traffic down.

So I was planing to come out to help out cleaning and learning on May 28,

My Q is; on May 29 there is a Presidents Assault ... on an open trail -  Members Only. Now i was planning to ask if i can come out as not a member if some one would agreeto take me along for the trail in there jeep.

Now if yes what would be better come help clean or hopefully come out on the ride along? Problem is i can only go one of the days, need to spend some time with the wife and the kid.

Thanks
Anton

Anton -  It always a good idea to send the trail leader a PM requesting if you can tag along. 

The clean up will be on the Saturday.  The run on the Sunday. Some one will probably offer up a seat if you choose to wheel.   Up to you what you want to do...

I haven't done a cleanup since about 8 years ago when I sold the XJ. Now that I'm back into a jeep I'd love to the wife and little one out. I cant haul anything unless someone's got a trailer needin towin but a couple pairs of hands I do got. Do they leave the big bin like they used too? BTW... I'm using the same username as before... guess it got deleted after so many years of neglect.

I would be willing to lead a small group and do a clean up Sunday if there is interest. There have been way wetter years  like 05 and 95. No run afterwards just a clean up.
