I'll probably be down for one of the runs. If there is a shortage of winches on the open run I might jump in.

Don't let the fact that some CJA members are weaseling in on the open run (and not coming to the prez's run  ;) ) deter you from leading.  

I may join in the prez's run.  We shall see what kind of wheeling day I'm in for  ;)

I'm going to probably come to this one. Other run sounds a little bit much for my new gears. I'm not going re gear again.  But I will still bash the crap out of her.  Anyone got a winch??  (don't get scared, just incase)
I do haha

This is great!  It is awesome to see so many people interested in this run, members and non-members alike.

It usually falls to the OP'er that "he who posts first, volunteers as trail leader/organizer".   With that, I'm going to strongly suggest that a list of requirements gets posted in the first post.  It's been a long held practice that this is done for all runs on the CJA board.   Don't let the fact that some CJA members are weaseling in on the open run (and not coming to the prez's run  ;) ) deter you from leading.   If you have questions about requirements, feel free to PM, but after meeting you, I think you know what kind of basic requirements are needed.

There should be a bunch of Jeeps out on that Sat since the club run is meeting there too.   It should be a snowy, gooey mess!
this is awesome! I never expected this many people! I think when I get hone from work tonight I will put together a list of requirements and try and organize it all little more! Since I am a little in over my head haha

Unless someone else wants to help out since I have never lead something before? If I am even leading it or maybe at this point someone can take over and help me out haha

Don't let it worry you. It's a bunch of Jeeps getting stuck (and then un-stuck) in some slippery mud and snow. As long as folks arrive with rigs that are mechanically sound, have tow points, and good attitudes, everyone will have fun. I'm sure that there are lots of members who have guided lots of tail runs that would be more than happy to help out with some pointers for you. Feel free to PM me or an exec member (or call Kevin between the hours of midnight and 4 AM) if you'd like suggestions.
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 :(

Looks like I'll be able to make this run too. If we have enough rigs, we may split up into two groups. We can decide that day depending on who shows up and what everyone wants to run.

Awesome!!  

I kind of need specifics though (ie the date confirmed).  I have been through the 4 pages can't find any dates or times.  I could be blind though.  I think someone suggested the 5th.

Anton When Fish East is wet it can be very hard on your rig, not everyone enjoys playing submarine with their jeep in mud pits. Ifyou don't drive it right or make poor descisions  (or listen to poor advice..."its not that deep" ) its easy to toast your clutch, motor or ____________,That said, It can be crap ton of fun I have had both the good and bad experiences with it.
