CJA Father's Day Open Run
« on: June 11, 2012, 01:44:25 AM »
Meeting at  9am at Mclean Creek store, pep talk,sign in leaving for the trail at 9:30am sharp.
Be fueled and ready to go by then please.


Requirements:
Minimum 30" tire
Good MT, AT, and be prepared to air down to 15 psi please.
Full sized spare tire.
Good front and rear tow points.
 warm clothing, and a change of footwear for everyone in the vehicle
Lots of food and water for everyone in the vehicle
Patience and a good attitude - we will be moving at a speed that is comfortable for the slowest member of the group
Jeeps only

Good Ideas:
Recovery Strap
Shovel
CB Radio
 
Rob-Nuxjer will be leading this run, and i may be able to assist if needed but plan to run mid gunner. We do need tail gunners, so post up and we can work out who is doing what.
Hope we can see a good turnout and everyone has a good time.
Rob may have to back out last minute, so if there is a member who wants to volunteer to fill his spot,by all means...

This is a stocker friendly run, and we will try our best to accomodate...if you are unsure..ASK.  No bitching cuz your SRT8 WK got wrecked or new JK got a new pinstripe. Its wheeling..suck it up.

Getting grumpier every day.
99 XJ - It's got sum stuff ,Noel free stuff..
98 ZJ - It's just ugly, but bigger than your Rubi

Hey Aaron, thanks for posting this up!!  I was out of town all weekend ;D.

Yeah folks this is being called the 'Father's Day' run but will be taking place the weekend AFTER Father's Day...the day after the Jeep 101(St. Jean Baptiste day, ooo la la).

I'm doing my best to get out there the evening of the 23rd.

Yes it's true that I've volunteered to lead this event, but to be honest, I have little knowledge of the trails at McLean so if someone more familiar with the trails out there can offer some 'guidance', that'd be much appreciated.

Thinking about heading out there, Jeep is still brand new, but assuming it's a good trail i'll head out there with the wife. From Bragg as well, so am quite familiar with the trails out there. Hopefully I can get the lift installed this week, so the tires stop rubbing.

I might be in for this.  My plan is to camp for the weekend and do the Jeep 101 as well.  I have been out a few times and feel pretty confident but I know there is much to learn.

Okay folks....eventhough the weather gods look like they may not be sharing much sunshine this weekend, we've decided to go ahead with this trip.  Weather forecasts are famous for being 'inaccurate'. ::)

Please prepare accordingly if you still plan to come out.  I'm hoping that we might be blessed with some open sky this weekend but can't count on it.

We'll see who shows up and make reasonable decisions about the day at that time.  Still intend to have this as stocker friendly as possible. ;)
