I am going down Saturday morning. Never been to DTOR, so I'm planning on meeting you at the rest stop Saturday at 8:00. I will be heading home saturday night.

Yeah, car side. The truck side is usually packed.

Last call:

Park opens at nine. Those that want to convoy, we'll meet at the Union KY reststop (MM177) about 8.

And again, for those driving separately, don't try to go through Carrollton. KY511 says Rt 36 is still closed just west of town due to construction on the bridge over Locust Creek.

Take I-71 down to 421, Exit 34. Back up to 42 and 3176.

See y'all in the morning!

Robert

Take some pictures for those of us that are to lazy to fix their heeps and won't be able to make it.

WrenchMonkey · 06-21-2013, 03:45 PM

Funny you shuld mention that... I changed the solenoids on my winch two weeks ago. Finally remembered to check that it works, today, right before loading it onto the trailer!

Coppertop · 06-21-2013, 07:02 PM

WrenchMonkey · 06-22-2013, 12:55 AM

Hell, my doors have been in storage since we beat the crap out of em in Harlan...

comanchedude · 06-22-2013, 06:46 PM

Had good time today , trails were quite good.. and great group of wheelers.

WrenchMonkey · 06-22-2013, 08:57 PM

Hey, at least I limped it back to the trailer under its own power this time...

I ended up 3 wheeling it after you left. Twisted the ears off the front inner axle shaft.

Coppertop · 06-22-2013, 10:51 PM

Had a great time. With no doors and side glass,Me and the jeep got a shower(Scattered Rain Shower) going through Cincy on the way home.

Damn shame,it wasn't enough to wash all the mud off...

Should have seen me trying to reach across the van and roll up the window when it started pouring...

Power windows should be standard on any vehicle. Especially one that wide.

Sonnybob · 06-23-2013, 05:19 PM

Yep. The people behind me probably thought I was drunk. That hill was no problem. It was definetly harder to get up it.

That's right... I had the tires spinning pretty fast to make it up this one spot on the hill when I got traction and heard a pop. At least I made it up.

WrenchMonkey · 06-23-2013, 11:19 PM

Outstanding! What hill?

itbrokeagain · 06-24-2013, 01:24 AM

Well....... Next time. I thought it was a weekend thing

The giant hill getting in the place. I barely made it up, so I was worried about the 17,000 lbs pushing me down...
