Anything planned for August long weekend?
« on: July 25, 2009, 12:10:59 PM »
Me and a buddy... also has a Jeep... are looking to get out and do some wheelin August long weekend. Kinda looking for a day trip or two... I think?

Both Jeeps are geared up for offroad use, gettin stuck and gettin out of the mud. We are both responsible humans and would be bringing the wives (how is that for a selling feature  :D)

We are starting to run out of trails (I'm new to the area) and wouldn't mind tackling some new stuff with people who have been there before. Looking for mud and technical type stuff. Trying to stay away from 6 straight hours of flat rocky trails :(

My diffs should be done by next weekend... but I don't get my parts till tomorrow... so I don't know yet if anything got lost in transit or they shipped the wrong stuff.

Anyone looking to put together a run?

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

Sounds like there may be a few takers... cool :)

I would love to lead... but I have pretty much only been out to North and South Ghost in Waiprous. South was cool... has some pretty deep water and mud sections (yeahhhh) and would go there again.  North was flat and rocky (boooo) and would prefer not. Having said that... I have not explored every square inch of the place either.

All my diff parts  got delivered today except my front Elocker... its apparently on a plane heading my way and should be here Thursday. So... assuming all the parts shows up and go together... I am in for something.

Do we have any leaders amongst us?

It could be either... if me and/or my buddy lead the charge... it will probably be South Ghost in Waiprous.

Anyone care to lead a run into Maclean? I have never been and would like to see what all the fuss is about :)
