I will be bringing Aftershock151 ( Jim ) and Taylor my oldest son , Following me down will be my neighbor Jon , with his 93 YJ. I will be setting up camp on the 80 side as usual.

I will be leaving at 11 am on friday. Bringin the truggy and dynamite! What time are you leaving exactly sarge?

[blurollover]

i hope to have the jeep done in time to go.probably leave late friday night.

[fredrader]

Where is LIVINGSTON and when are you guys going ? Directions ??

[94Dodge Truggy]

3 hour drive for you. Livingston kentucky (daniel boone) frederator. Still interested?

[fredrader]

I may be interested..

[94Dodge Truggy]

I have been to livingston atleast 100 times. The place that core camps at (which is very nice) I have been to only once. My directions are rough. I will try and get you directions if you are really interested. You will love the terrain. And with your cherokee you will do well!

[fredrader]

Cool,I will take some directions when you get a chance..

[jeepmanjeff]

I will be leaving friday night about 734 pm

[KargoMaster]

Waaaay too vague, could you be more specific?? :D

Man, I wish my rig was done.

[carwash]

Waaaay too vague, could you be more specific?? :D

Man, I wish my rig was done.
hahahah, your rig done... now that's is funnay.

[94Dodge Truggy]

So will kargojack and carwash be attending? I have an open seat for kargojack! He hee heee ;)

[Treefrogsw]

If your not there by 7:34, Jeff is rolling at 7:35:45. Don't be late.:)

Wish I was going. Have a great trip. Be safe.

[carwash]

If you can wait for me until 7:36, i can make it. there is now way i can be there by 7:34, that's just ridiculous.

[jeepmanjeff]

well then sorry about your luck...I am a punctual type of guy. :):):):):):):):)

[daveH]

Also on this topic looks like TS has a livingston trip planned for the weekend of june 30 if anyone is interested. Especially those that have been there b4. I dont think anyone from the club has been there yet, and i sure as hell dont want to spend most of the day trying not to get lost!!

[sarge]

I don't know exactly what time I'm leaving Scot , I'm not as COOL and or ORGANIZED as Jeff. If I can't sleep when I get home from work I'd say I'll be rolling out about the same time as you, if I can get some sleep ( being the last good sleep of the week end !! :D ) I'll probably be rolling around 1:00 or 2:00 .

Fred , We'll get you some directions up soon ! I know how to get there but the last part I can't rember some of the streets .
This much I do know :

I-75 south to Ky 80 ( London Ky.)
Ky 80 West for about 4 1/2 miles
Turn right just before deli on hill ( access Rd. ) only about 100 feet long.
At stop sign Turn left ( i think this is ST. RT. 25 ??)
turn right at Motor Cross Track sign. ( can't remember the name of the road )
At Motor cross track entrance turn left onto gravel Rd. you'll pass several houses on the left going down the hill.
once at the bottom you'll cross a concrete culvert ( use caution if it is raining ) after the culvert you need to get on the skinny pedal you will have a rather tight left hand turn and then a very long grade to climb.
once at the top of the hill it will open up into a field , we will be camping on the right , as long as someone else is not there already. I have a 30 FT Tioga Motor home and has a Cinyoffroad windshield banner just look for it !!!

I'm sure someone else has some street names for you , I know Jeff or Jackmaster had ,at one time, a really good set of directions posted up.

[Rustbucket]

Well since HNH has been closed down for the weekend we have all been lookin foward to, Noone that I know has any info on Livimgston.
But from pictures I have seen, we will have just as good a time there as at HNH.
As far as camping goes is there a local camping grounds and a place for newbies to meet up with people that Know the area?

[sarge]

Are you asking about Memorial Day week end ? if so, follow the direction to the camp spot and you'll see us . it's not a camp ground , just a big open field that we have permission to camp on .
If your just going to go down with your club and not have anyone that knows the area with you be sure you don't get to far off the main trail . Livingston is not crowded anymore and it's hit or miss if you come across anyone on the trails that can tell you where and how to get around. If you and few others decide to go down sometime post up on here I'm sure someone would meet up with you and show you around.
I've never been to HNH but I can put a pay check on Livingston being better then any pay park around the Ohio area.

[mike shelton]

hnh has a 14 day extension right now.... mike

[Mudstud]

Im in. I will be ready anytime after 5:00 pm on friday. Kelly, let me know your schedule. Im looking for someone to follow down.

[94Dodge Truggy]

Hey Sarge, I will leave with you as long as you are leaving by 1pm. Traffic will be bad! Especially at 3pm. Hook the motor home up to the back of my trailer and you can sleep on the way down. :D I need to do a thourough inspection this week and find out what the hell is making a funny shake in the chassis during rough bouncing conditions. Hate to break it on the long weekend. Are you goin CW?

[GPER]

We always went in right off of exit 49 and camp at that end.

[KargoMaster]

GPER, that was the way that almost everyone used to go in... and you still can, but for folks that are driving the "mobile sheratons" down, need somewhere to setup that is a little off the beaten path, and a little farther away from the attention of the Shell station... :D

When was the last time you were down there?

And just so I don't get the KargoJack comments from Scott.... Have a great trip, wish I could go... Sounds like a great time... Be safe.

[94Dodge Truggy]

Hey Kargomaster, I have an open seat if you are interested and a barn to crash in after hours!

[GPER]

It has been 5 years since I was down there last, it has been too long I know that.

[sarge]

Well load up your junk and come on down , we always have a great time at livinston and your welcome to camp with us.

I'll even buy you a cold one !!!:D :D :D

[blurollover]

hey muddstud,doubt i get to go, jeep won't be mobile.maybe scott will let me ride with him?

[gonejeepin]

How many days are you guys Wheeling? Leaving Friday and coming back ?.

[94Dodge Truggy]

Core members and friends will be there from 3pm friday and will stay probably till monday. Come on out. Meet up with me friday and follow us down! I will leave sometime sunday to come home unless the truggy implodes before then. :rolleyes:

[KargoMaster]

Hey Kargomaster, I have an open seat if you are interested and a barn to crash in after hours!

As much as I appreciate the offer... I think Kelly could use it more than me...
I'll try to get some more work done on the pile of parts... and maybe, just maybe I'll get to Livingston next year...:o

hey muddstud,doubt i get to go, jeep won't be mobile.maybe scott will let me ride with him?

It's all yours if Scott agrees Kelly...

[blurollover]

thanx brad,i owe youone. if it's ok with scott?

[Mudstud]

Come on Brad, ride with Scott, it should be a great time!!!

Kelly, are you going to be ready? Is your friend from Florida going to make it?

[Mudstud]

Guess i need to type faster. Read post, wrote post, checked post and it all changed. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

[Mudstud]

I did not see the second page, Duhhh!!:o

[blurollover]

rig won't be ready,but i'll be there for the weekend anyway.no my friend from fla. won't be able to make it.

[Mudstud]

Good to see you can make it. There is room in the XJ as long as you dont mind shareing the back seat with my grandson! Better yet, i can strap him to the roof rack and then there will be room.(Just kidding) but your more than welcome anyway. Marilyn wants to know if Lou is comming?

[blurollover]

no,she's saving vacation time for a trip to fla. in nov.

[94Dodge Truggy]

I may have a seat for you blurollover if my friend that I have been waiting for an answer from declines. Pack extra clothes cuz it will be a hot and dirty ride! (that didn't sound good)

[blurollover]

are you flirting with me?thanx scott.

[Mudstud]

Are campfires allowed in this field where we will be camping?

[JasonCJ7]

Fires are allowed in that field just contain them. Unfortunately Nora and I willnot be attending as her due date is June 5th. BUt ll of you have a great tie and we will hopefully make it towards the end of the year.

[94Dodge Truggy]

As long as it was your Brake foot and not your Gas foot you should be OK.:D

[Mudstud]

Yea! What did you do ????

[94Dodge Truggy]

My daughters birthday is today, so last night I was assembling a basketball pole for her and with sandals on (brace yourself for my ignorance becuz it gets sick) I was ramming an 8 foot steel pole down on the concrete to connect the 3 poles together when my big toe got in the way. I was throwing all of my weight into it and the pole was a very thin wall. (kind of like a knife edge) Broke the bone and severed 80 percent of it. When I pulled the sandal off and saw the toe danglin and a bone inside I knew I screwed up. :rolleyes: Gonna be hard to make the trip to livingston cuz my wife has me chained down to the couch.

[blurollover]

thats why when you do something for the kids you wear steel toed shoes!!!!:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Wow! The things we do for our young ones!!! I hope all turns out well. Take advantage of that being chained to the couch, you could have a honey-do list a mile long otherwise, LOL. Take care and let us know how you're doing.

[sarge]

WOW Scot , That stinks !!! it would be kinda hard getting around in all the rocks with a bum foot !!

I was just going to touch base and see if we were still going to try and roll out at the same time ..... I guess not !

Anyway for all that are still going , I'm rolling out of Trenton at 2:00 pm , I should have at least one other following me .

I talked to Shawn Carder and Kevin ( his brother) they will be comeing down later friday evening .

Doug should be there , don't know when he's leaving .

Another friend of mine in a really nice YJ will also be heading down on Friday , he's try to figure out a way to leave with us but he doesn't know if it's possible.

I talked to George today and he and the Yotas and Zuks will be leaving after 3:00 pm on Friday .

Jeff Smith are you and Jim still going , I would understand if you were not :( , I heard the news yesterday ,and still can not believe it .

Hey Brad ( Kargo ) can you post up some direction alittle better then the ones I did ! I need to copy them down for some of the ones who don't have computer access.

[icemanjes]

I will not be there.:cool:

[jeepmanjeff]

Yes I am still going. The Jeep is loaded and ready for the trails. Made a new modification on the rear springs...

Milt would of said head on with out me....

[sarge]

Milt would of said head on with out me....


This is what I wanted to say last night , he would have been lighting a smoke and popping the top on a cold one as he sat on the trailer fender covered in grease and dirt completely out of ideas on how to jerry rig the Jeep for one last ride.
He will be missed by more than he ever knew.

A camp fire toast is in order !

See ya all in the woods

Loaded and ready leaving at 2:00pm

[94Dodge Truggy]

Take some good pics. and have some stories for the next meeting. I will be anxious to hear em! I go under the knife friday for some expensive screw and pin work to the toe. I tried to push it back to next week so I could wheel, but doc gave me a crazy look when I told him my plans to 4 wheel over the holiday weekend. Have a safe and fun time yall! :)

[KargoMaster]

Let's see if this works...

Sorry, you're computer will probably try to print from this link... :o


This was a pain in the butt... if I just put in the two points (Cincinnati and camp) it takes you off the 49 exit and through the woods... Not a great plan for the tow vehicle/trailer/mobile-Sheraton crew... :D

[KargoMaster]

Or this..

Don't forget to bare left at the Motocross track... It looks like the road ends there, but you're soooooo close...

That would be the map I would like to see.

[redcj3a]

Scott,

I sure hope all heals well with the toe. I hope your daughter wasn't wasn't watching the "carnage". I think the saying "Chicks dig body damage." wasn't meant to be taken this way.

Seriously though, hope all goes well.

John

[94Dodge Truggy]

Thanks redcj3a. I am waiting impatiently for a recap of livingston. Sitting on the couch over the weekend was pretty uneventful :(
