They had talked about it but last weekend was the 1st weekend that I heard the they had rocks blocking the way. :mad: We always started up that way shame it is closed.

[Muddy 1]

They closed sometime in the last 10 months or so.

[94Dodge Truggy]

Thats not good!

[mike shelton]

[tjjeepjeep]

Sorry I will not be making this or the WV trip...broken ankle :mad:

Sorry to hear, Jeff. Take care.

[xj-up]

When in doubt go to Haspin. I guess thats where I will be.:D

[94Dodge Truggy]

Thinking about doing the same shane.

[scarface]

Jacob(hybrid) and I were going to try to head out to NB with you guys so if you are changing it to haspin just keep us updated. That would be alot closer so maybe I could con billy into getting his rig out for once.

[tjjeepjeep]

We're in too...

[94Dodge Truggy]

Get billy out. I have not wheeled with him in a loooooong time!

[Hybrid]

Jon(scarface) and I were at haspin last weekend, and had a good time. It would be even more fun with more rigs! Hopefully we can get billy to come!! I still need to find a welder to weld my shock mount back up. As well as get new shocks if possible.

[94Dodge Truggy]

Sounds like it is going to be haspin. Maybe leave at 6 pm on friday or go on sunday or monday

[Hybrid]

Sorry I will not be making this or the WV trip...broken ankle :mad:

That stinks Jeff! Hope you get well soon!!

About Haspin, Jon(scarface) and I should be able to leave anytime, so we will plan on leaving whenever a group is heading up.

[94Dodge Truggy]

OK! I have now changed and rechanged for the last time I think! :o I am leaving for the Gorge (natural bridge) friday at noon or there abouts. Going to wheel till late saturday night. Save me a spot at the creek for the barn to park. Have quads been running there still? Lookin forward to seein some of ya there!

Are you this decisive on the trail runs themselves too? ;) Like I said, we're in. Just waiting for the final final where... :rolleyes:

[Hybrid]

Well, if you guys are going to the gorge i will try to get there to! Would it be possible to get directions to the gorge as well as to where you guys are camping? It has been a long time since I have been down there and I forget how to get there. Thanks :)

[94Dodge Truggy]

Directions could be tough. I am bringing a couple of pyrotechnics for the late night camping!

[xj-up]

Cool, Wish I hadn't made other plans. Meeting a group of buddies at Haspin on Friday at 12:00pm to set up camp and beat the crowd. If anyone is going stop by.




later,
Shane:D

[carwash]

ha, i know that hole... Jeff almost rolled in that one coming the other direction. good times.

[mike shelton]

Directions could be tough. I am bringing a couple of pyrotechnics for the late night camping!

take i-75 south to 64-east. take 64-east to the mountain pky. take the pky to exit 22 (stanton exit) turn left at the bottom of the ramp. then turn right at the 2nd light. (hwy 15) take that rd about 6 mile. you will pass a rock quarry on your right. after the quarry take the next right. (hwy 1639) stay with the double yellow lines. about 4 mile.. you will see a white house on your left with an iron railing beside it. turn left up the hill. that will dead end at the camp sight.. mike

[scarface]

I think jacob and I are going to stick to just saturday and probably go to haspin, hopefully we can join ya guys on the next one

[mike shelton]

took the mower down there this morning and mowed off a few camping spots,,, mike

[94Dodge Truggy]

Thanks, Mike

[fabricator]

truggy, the truck is junkin out
is efi fuel pump is running and staying lit
motor is sparking
get the truck off camber it stumbles and dies
runs good otherwise
fuel filter change tomorrow
no kinks in lines
I don't know....crap!

[DinkDavis]

sorry to hear that Jeff get well and we will see u on the next one

[94Dodge Truggy]

Hey fabricator it isn't a short in the wiring or a fuel regulator or something is it?

[fabricator]

It is getting spark to the plug
it is getting juice to the pump
does shut off like a electric issue
unless the MAF isn't doing its job
guessing is is a fuel delivery issue
could be pressure regulator
but it doesn't do it all the time
it won't do it on the ramp
taking day off work hope to find out

[94Dodge Truggy]

I have seen a throttle position sensor screwed up where any jolt from jumping or what not would turn the vehicle off. I hate wiring!

[fabricator]

I think I may be good to go.
tested it for a couple of hours
without any issue's
You guys think their mite be room
for 2 trucks and 2 trailers back in there?

[krawlin85toy]

I sure hope so, there are about 8 to 10 more trucks coming down to wheel plus those who don't post up.Im there to wheel and have some fun, the more there the better time we seem to have!

[scarface]

Well if were able to find another trailer I think billy, jacob and I will be down there for saturday

[mike shelton]

should be plenty of room if everybody tightens it up. just a heads up. if you have not been there before it is kind of a ruff gravel road back to the camp site. brush and weeds hang out in the road a little. we take campers and trailors back in there all the time. the road is narrow too. i mowed off some spots on the right of the creek and straight back to the left of the creek too. this is shaping up to be one of the biggest rides of the year.. mike

[mike shelton]

Well if were able to find another trailer I think billy, jacob and I will be down there for saturday

i got one for sale. 16' by 76 " inside. no finders on it, has one brake axle, rough wood floor but in good condition, duel axle, has a small winch on it too. 550.00 cash. mike

[tjjeepjeep]

Looking forward to seeing everyone down there!!!

[fabricator]

this buggy was floating around the bridge this weekend
forget the guys name, wasn't able to catch up with that group though
boogers are rather large, along with the buggy

[fabricator]

the piece of my little 36" tsl looks like a go cart tire compared to that
oh yea he was broke here, broke it on the little waterfall to the left
when you go in the park, went up the fall easy b/4 he dug on it
couldn't touch the waterfall after he was done, for some reason......lol

[mike shelton]

(GREAT WEEKEND). glad to have done the yard work.. glad you all made it down. post up some camp pic,s if anyone has um. mike

[94Dodge Truggy]

Believe our group had a rig in that same spot ;) It was nice seeing you guys there. (Though we were on our way out as you arrived.) :rolleyes:

[Bear Chow]

Milt damn near climbed up into the cave that leads to. He was shining a bit of light in there for the kids to climb through to the other side.

God rest his soul.

[94Dodge Truggy]

Never been there! But heard it had a trail called can opener!

[carwash]

dang... i gotta get a rig back together... how rail friendly is harlan?

[94Dodge Truggy]

dang... i gotta get a rig back together... how rail friendly is harlan?

I heard it is very rail friendly as long as you don't get too close to truggy. I am afraid truggy and your rail will start breeding and who knows what that offspring would look like! :confused:

[tjjeepjeep]

You're just not right...

[carwash]

it could do nothing but improve the looks of it.

[tinbeater]

Never been there! But heard it had a trail called can opener!

Can opener.:cool: Thats it in my avatar.

[94Dodge Truggy]

Can opener.:cool: Thats it in my avatar.

I've gotta do that! Count me in for that trip! Don't you guys rent out a house for that?

[94Dodge Truggy]

Hey fabricator I like the wheels on the silver dodge in your pic.;)

[RuffedUpXJ]

Thats a nice Big Blue D you have there. 16,000 Watts works alright for a generator

[fabricator]

I've gotta do that! Count me in for that trip! Don't you guys rent out a house for that?

Probably camp in the field , should be awesome weather

The wheels, well I also like the tires, got any more....lol

[fabricator]

Thats a nice Big Blue D you have there. 16,000 Watts works alright for a generator

I do leave the grill at home
Is a NT 250 Bobcat, 10,000 watts.......does frenched fried taters
and biscuits n gravy rather well in the microwave .

[Stang849]

Work willing, the wife and I might tag along for this trip as well.

[tinbeater]

Work willing, the wife and I might tag along for this trip as well.

Cool bring her. My wife always goes with me.
The Fabricator and I can show you guys around, we have been there many times and know alot of the KYMC guys. PS. all of the nasty stuff is aptional and right off the main trails. So if one wants to pass on some stuff they can still watch.:D

[94Dodge Truggy]

Good bypass routes close by will come in handy for some of the group I think.

[tjjeepjeep]

Like moi :D I wondered if bypass routes were available there. Nice to know. Thanks for the info, Tinbeater.

[fabricator]

I heard they was handing out tickets for being in the creek
on sunday anyone see any rangers around?

[94Dodge Truggy]

No. No rangers, but I heard one guy got a 110.00 ticket and a lady got an even more expensive ticket due to running her mouth. Camping on the left side requires a permit I found out.

[fabricator]

left side ?
of creek ?
of tree ?
of pole ?
of moon ?
of road/trail ?

the side you and i was camped on?

[94Dodge Truggy]

the side you and i was camped on?

Uh, the moon? :p How about the side that I had the barn parked. The gas stations want your $5.00 for camping permit that is required. Only on that side. Must be money for the rangers pizza party every friday or something.

[fabricator]

this info is good to know
i was on past your barn
same side,
glad I didn't find out the hard way..

[94Dodge Truggy]

If I was questioned on why I camped there from the ranger I would have told him that you told me that it was ok. LOL!
