Everyone ready for the trip? Took some time this weekend and got set up. Charged up the r/c crawler as it is most important for the trip. Then I fixed the trailer brakes, got a brand new 10 ply matching spare tire, swept out the trailer, fixed the front drive shaft on the jeep and hosed it off. Not sure why I clean it anymore as it is really looking rough from all the trail runs. Still need to fix the drivers side rear coilover oil leak but it may have fixed itself as it is no longer leaking!

I started the RV , fired up the fridge and put the house battery back in it . Put on my new to me soft half doors ( thanks NUTS ) and fabbed up some striker plates so they stay closed. I think I'm going to just run my XJ springs the way they are for this trip , wanting to go 4 link anyway. Jeep is ready all I have to do is wash the RV and load it up .
I need directions again it;'s been a while . I know it's 75 S. to 64 e and then the Mountain PKWY to ??? is Slade exit and turn right at the second light and then the blah , blah .. turnright at the white house on to Sand Lick ???? it's coming back alittle and I prob. could get their but I would rather have some assistance. |

As long as you're not worried about the creek jumping out of the bank (cough: MemDay 2004) you'll be fine...
70% with THUNDERstorms... my kind of weather. Stay in the valleys folks.

I have some of the most fun and fondest memories while in some adverse conditions. This one should be right on par. The terrain will be a blast and rattle snake will require high range and hammer down! 2nd chance or whatever the hell it is called may roll Jamie again

I will let you in on a little secret. The CORE club is one of the best clubs that I have ever seen or been associated with. We clean up others litter while out on the trails quite often, have successful fund raisers, give aid to others while out on the trails and have well built rigs that lend themselves to being easier on the terrain. As for the "poor bastards" that you stated I would say that you should come out and wheel with us to get a feel for how we wheel as a club. I assure you that I will be responsible as always and help out my fellow wheeler when at all possible. Are you heading out with us SWOhio?

I believe that everyone is good, but there are to many times where I see people forget. The last time I was up rattlesnake it was so washed out and some folks that like to get in and hammer it tear it up worse.
I've meet several of you guys and have no problems with anyone, I just think we need to remember all talk about shutting down Slade very recently due to washing out and rutting done by off-roaders. I'm not looking to make anyone mad as I expect to know and meet more of you guys, but like I said earlier, people forget how to treat the trails. |
