Wheeling Sept 20-23

My wife is headed out of town this weekend. My plan is to drop her at the airport and head put of town with the kids and dog. I was thinking the Bridge because I haven't been for a few years but Hodgie said Rush is awesome. I would like to do the Bridge but I will go where people want to go. I will not be trailing because my kids don't fit in the truck so I don't plan on getting too crazy but you know how that goes. Anyone?

I'm likely out, my dads birthday that weekend.

But I could probably trade you towrigs for the weekend, so's you could tote the rugrats if you want.

That would be awesome but totally unexpected

Well, you still gotta feed the pig. I usually see about 8-9mpg towing. Eike said he only got like 6.5 pulling that 24' box to New York...

It ain't cheap, but it do tow nice...

A few of us are headed to Rush Offroad the weekend of the 21st. It is their grand opening. The more the merrier. We won't be leaving until after work on that Friday. Looks to be less that a 5 hr drive from my neck of the woods.

only a 3 hour drive from NKY from what i saw to rush.

gothodgie · 08-06-2013, 12:29 AM

mapquest says it is 3 hours and 15 minutes from my house and that seemed really accurate when we went a couples weeks ago... i'm about 4 miles south of K.I....

itbrokeagain · 08-08-2013, 12:55 AM

So Rush will likely be crowded

Jonesy · 08-08-2013, 12:37 PM

I'm thinking with 7000 acres we should be able to avoid the crowd for the most part.

itbrokeagain · 08-10-2013, 02:03 AM

I have a few people interested in Natural Bridge. I think that's a definite.

monkeystrong · 08-13-2013, 01:31 PM

So is this trip Rush OFfroad or Natural bridge?

itbrokeagain · 08-13-2013, 02:34 PM

Natural bridge

monkeystrong · 08-13-2013, 03:37 PM

Cool.

underpowered · 08-14-2013, 10:46 PM

A group of us is headed to Rush as well for sure that weekend.

It rained pretty hard for about 3 hours on Saturday morning and we got pretty wet... But after about 11am the rain stopped and we got some sun later in the afternoon...

We started out with a group of about 20 vehicles and did some mild wheeling... After a couple hours the myself and the other 3 Yotas broke off from the big group we were with so we could go run "Widow maker"... I had forgotten how cool of a trail it is... We made it about halfway and had to turn around after the Taco tore a valve stem...

After a good day on the trails we headed back to the fire house for dinner and to hang out... There was a great crowd probably 50/60 vehicles... Got to see some old friends and meet some new ones...

We headed home Saturday night since most of everybodys stuff got soaked that morning...
