DO'S AND DONTS
Travel responsibly on designated roads and trails or in permitted areas.

Respect the rights of others including private property owners and all recreational trail users, campers and others to allow them to enjoy their recreational activities undisturbed.

Educate yourself by obtaining travel maps and regulations from public agencies, planning for your trip, taking recreation skills classes, and knowing how to use and operate your equipment safely.

Avoid sensitive areas such as meadows, lakeshores, wetlands and streams, unless on designated routes. This protects wildlife habitat and sensitive soils from damage.

Do your part by leaving the area better than you found it, properly disposing of waste, minimizing the use of fire, avoiding the spread of invasive species, restoring degraded areas, and joining a local enthusiast organization.

[korisu56]

Right on. My wife's too.

[02tj]

[korisu56]

I'm game for whatever. I just gotta wash it out really good, cause if all goes to plan, we'll be dropping that 8.8 in shortly afterward.

[miljeep]

My kid is 3 and she always has fun on the rides.

Yup, F-burg Armory. My ol' lady doesn't do mud, doubt she'd want to go. I know, I know, it just happened.

[Pacifier]

Give her a fresh one and make her due mud.... Better yet, leave her at home where she belongs, tell her to make you chicken pot pie, and come along for the ride of your life time /images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

[miljeep]

Anytime Diego offers a "the ride of your lifetime", I would be cautious.

First off, whatever the ride of my life time is, I'm in. Secondly, what's with you and chicken pot pie? Too much South Park? /images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

[Pacifier]

Broke back mountain here we come.

[korisu56]

Sweet. It's gonna be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway.

[E5EDDIE]

Pacifier, if I told her that she'd try to stick that pot pie up my a$$! Told her I wouldn't buy her a watch 'cause there's a clock on the stove, and she got mad and chased me around like a rabid weasel! Guess she does'nt appreciate my sense of humor? Still trying to pull off being out all day the 2nd...we'll see. I'll post confirm if I can go tomorrow. Check the "wanted" section on the site...

[Pacifier]

You definitely need a set. Hey! I have an idea... tell her my entire family is going, wife daughter 1 = 5 years old, daughter 2 = 8 months old. Off course none of them are coming, but at least it will get her in the Jeep.

[korisu56]

That's what I do every time.... works like a charm.

[02tj]

well, I just got some disturbing news.... I have drill on this weekend! Im seeing if I can split train. Ill let you guys know as soon as I know.

[korisu56]

Does this affect the weekend of 02Feb? Or just the M&G we may set up?

[02tj]

the trail ride! mabey if I cant go dieago can lead?

[korisu56]

The trail ride is 02 February buddy. That's two and a half weeks from now.

[Pacifier]

He was dropped on his head as a child. Also, all that snow may be giving him butterflies in his tummy /images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

[02tj]

Awesome, just pure genius man.

Can the two months come any faster?! /images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif Sucks you can't get out of it.

[02tj]

looks like Im back in on the ride! pending the ok by the CO.

[korisu56]

Anyone else planning on camping?

[Jeepmadman]

Korisu And Miljeep You Still Going On Sat The 2nd?
If So Is There Room For One More?

[miljeep]

I'm going. Paid too much for the crap on the jeep to let them get dry-rot in the driveway.

[korisu56]

Hell yeah I'm still going. There's always room for more, and we just got the rest of our camping crap.

[02tj]

Im out ......... gotta go to drill 2nd and 3rd.

[XjOpera]

Idealy I'd like to go on the trail ride, but the it's scheadual permitting. However if I do go, it's just in a moral support position. The beast isn't ready for any trail rides yet, and the xj is layed up with some problems, and no registration...

[korisu56]

What about Nathan's CJ?

[Jeepmadman]

are you comming back sat night or camping?i have to come back sat

were is everyone meeting up for the trip down there?

[korisu56]

It's up to you. People that have to go back can, people that want to camp can.

[Pacifier]

It looks like I'm bring the entire family in the XJ :)

[miljeep]

bringing family, but not camping.

[Pacifier]

bringing family, but not camping.

I don't think the 9 month old would like that :rolleyes:

[miljeep]

we are bringing family, but not camping.

[Pacifier]

we are bringing family, but not camping.

LOL.... :p us too.

[miljeep]

Saw this on another board:


so after the dry river run i decided to head over to flag pole to play in the mud pit on the duncan hollow side. wow bad idea! got to the hill heading past the large campsites and was stopped by the ice. got about half way up when i lost traction. thought i was on snow, wrong! all ice. truck started to slide in park. knew i was in trouble at that point. had a nice straight drop off on one side and a embankment on the other. ended up backing it down the hill with 2 tires in the dirt and 2 on ice. was pretty dams scary for a few min. till i got backed down.

so i would highly recommend staying off flag pole till the ice melts. it can get hairy real quick! didn't know i was on ice till it was to late.

[Pacifier]

You got a full roll cage now right?

[miljeep]

yup, full cage.

[korisu56]

Well....I dunno. I don't want to be the only one camping. That would suck to have gotten all the crap then not do it. My wife's looking forward to it so much that I may just do it anyway. How many trails are out there?

[02tj]

Well, Im back on for the trail ride. Just was told by platoon leader that I was aproved for split train! So Ill see yall this weekend.:D:eek:

[korisu56]

Awesome man. Glad you could come out.

[miljeep]

Good deal. I was told that I could go because I am untrainable. :)

[Jeepmadman]

[korisu56]

Good question. Was it already answered? I'll ride down with guys from belvoir. I have no idea where I'm going. Is it 33E off of I81??

[Jeepmadman]
