Hey Casey did you get the Ranger Fixed????

[Redriverranger]

Finishing it today. I decided to do some maintenance while I had it tore down, so pulled the front carrier and put in a new pinion seal, axle seals, hub seals, grease packed all bearings, changed gear oil front and rear. Checked other heims. Also added a pillow block bearing and crossmember for the rear driveshaft to get it up out of the way. Gotta build the driveshafts today. :beers:

Hey Scott.
How Bad is the road going back to where you are camping?
I will probably tow my junk back there and unload if it not that bad.

Road is in good shape and the tree branches are not bad this time of year. Which side is the free side to camp on back at the creek?

[boomhauer]

is all free camping if you are talking about where i think you are

[humpy]

fellas i heard today that the creek entrance is closed dennis stacy told me that but take it for what its worth....

[fabricator]

will try to call him tomorrow and get the scoop

[Redriverranger]

I am guessing he is talking about the nature trail. If it was the other, it would have had to happened this past week, which I doubt.

[Redriverranger]

We have added a few speed bumps since your last visit. Buckle up. :D
Sandlick is open, drove over there tonight. (Disspelling rumors....)
That is where I am parking my tow rig.
I am wheeling tomorrow and Saturday. Hoping to wheel with you all tomorrow, as I have another group commitment Saturday. What time are you all hitting the trails?

[KargoMaster]

Thanks for that Casey... nothing like hearing it from you.

I'm sure that it was just confusion with Nature Trail... which is most certainly closed and has been for a while.


Happy Thanksgiving guys, and have a safe day or three out in the woods.

I'm currently suffering from Tryptophan (trip·to·fan) ... that stuff in Turkey that makes you sleepy... I certainly wish I was going on a Tryptowoods (trip·to·woods) with you guys though. :D

We should get there about 1:00 Friday afternoon.

[Redriverranger]

I will see you all in the woods then, as I am going a bit earlier than that. I'll be on 10.

[tinbeater]

Had another great turn out and ride.

[94Dodge Truggy]

Great weather! I will recap the event tonight.

[fabricator]

Someone could have made a bunch of money
selling tickets...or beverages
on widowmaker saturday around darkthirty
was a **** load of rigs in that creek....
looked cool with all the lights
i think the trailleader was a mess..

[tjjeepjeep]

Edit: That is an old school joke, most on here probably haven't even heard of Beta.

[buckeyezuk]

[fabricator]

I remember it well back in 73 or74 it seems?

[JET455]

Ha! I have a beta player out in the garage with box of movies I think there is some Beta porn also Bom chicca chicca bom bom!!! http://www.freewebby.com/adult-smilies/motion.gif

[Redriverranger]

It was alive and well through at least 81.

[mckeddie]

heres a few

what hill is that 2nd to the last one? i don't recognize it?

[mike shelton]

looks like carb to me!!!!!!!!! gabby

[buckeyezuk]

its hair pin.

[blazerbrad]

what hill is that 2nd to the last one? i don't recognize it?

I was just getting ready to ask the same question.

[Aquaman]

Pics are great. Looks like you all had good weather. Hair Pin has changed a lot since the last time I was on it. Looks fun!:beers:

[humpy]

yes hair pin is TOTALLY different i remember when we used to put drivers tire in rut and run right up it...not that way now 4 sure....

[mckeddie]

looks like carb to me!!!!!!!!! gabby

looks different than last time i was there, of course it has been at least 3 years since i've been there. i didn't remember that big rock on the left that someone is sitting on in the pic.

i need to get back down there sometime.

greg

[KargoMaster]

Oh yeah, that's DEFINITELY Hair Pin... that's the one that I couldn't recall the name of recently... that one took a bite out of my cage on the driver's side... (driver's tires were in the LARGE ditch on the left)

I too recall the decline of BetaMax... That's what happened when Sony got greedy and didn't want to play nice with the rest of the video cassette industry. Enter VHS, and viola... No more Beta.

[humpy]

fellas i was born in 84 and i can remember watchin beta movies when i was a kid so it had 2 be around until like 88 or so...

[JET455]

Yeah, Sony was not smart about it at all. Beta was a much better format and smaller to boot.

[Hope Springs Hauler]

I remember Beta. But hell, I listened to 8tracks on the farm until 3 or 4 years ago.

[KargoMaster]

I remember Beta. But hell, I listened to 8tracks on the farm until 3 or 4 years ago.

Definitely not someone that I would call an "early adopter."

It's all good though. :beers:

[Hope Springs Hauler]

:confused: Are you saying that because I have a turntable and LP's in the garage, I'm not up to date:rolleyes: :D

Would you believe that I'm only 27

[fabricator]

I remember Beta. But hell, I listened to 8tracks on the farm until 3 or 4 years ago.

thats cause they paid 1200 to 1500 bucks for them back in the 70's
and coulbn't bring theirselves to pitch them in the trash
