Rausch Creek M&G: APRIL 24-26th

[BucketOKarma]

This will be a Wheeling Run AND a Meet and Greet!


Rausch Creek got back to me and said April 24, 25, and 26 were open. That makes this M&G a GO!

Their web site is: http://www.rauschcreekoffroadpark.org/ Please read the park rules. They have trails for ALL levels of rigs from 100% stocker, to full competition buggy.

Normally we leave home sometime friday to get there for early evening ( we are about 5hrs away) - no wheeling on friday just tent set up (although we might be doing the hotel if the weather is inclement), dinner, and mingling. Spend all day wheeling on saturday, and a large portion on sunday. Park closes at 5 on Sunday. That's not to say you have to be there the whole time. Stop by for a day, or even just a couple hours (if that suits you better)

They have primitive camping for tents, and plenty of room for campers for those that plan on bringing one. If you are not into camping on-site, there is a Comfort Inn and a Hampton Inn right down the road that offers discounts for people going to RC. Reminder: On-site camping is only available those that are wheeling and/or passengers. It is free with membership and day pass only. Just an FYI

At this point we are looking for a head count as to who can feasibly make it. When we spoke to Rausch we gave a tentative number of 20+ and they said "That weekend will be fine.", so they can't say they weren't warned!


If the turn out is good enough I plan on making this an annual event.

This will also be a great way for people to swap parts without the added cost of shipping!

There may be some "door-prizes", if there are enough people to warrant it. We are in negotiations with Will (HeavyMetal) and Cody, from Heavy Metal Concepts (http://www.heavymetalconcepts.com/), to make a video of the weekend, along with any photo work you might want to have done to showcase your rig.

HMC home page, CHECK IT OUT!
Heavy Metal Concepts (http://www.heavymetalconcept.com/)
Videos, photos, artistic photos. These are the guys!

They also did the the "Air Force Hunter" video that has been circulated around this site.


It's all set up people!

This event is growing by the day now!
Anyone from our "maybe" list looking to upgrade to a definite?

[vwJarhead]

I'm in!!!!!!!!!! I will either camp solo Friday and wheel Saturday or come with the family and to the C.I. and wheel Saturday. Either way I am there for sure!

[TJ 4 the Boxers]

I'm in. Not sure if I'll camp or not just yet, if the wife comes then we'll be at the hotel, Comfort Inn.

If any one plans on staying at the Comfort Inn call them directly, tell them that you'll be there for wheeling at RC. This is the only way to get the discount. Book on-line and the standard rate applies. Standard rates are about $120, discount is around $65. Comes with a heated swimming pool, breakfast (which is a nice spread), plus you can hang in the lobby/sitting area drinking and BS'ing. They're a cool crew up there, just don't act like a complete ass (half ass is cool).

[friskeljr]

ill have to see the schedual

[beecee]

I'm in. Probably run the trails on Saturday, I may decide to stay at the Comfort and run again on Sunday. See you all there.

[brownrc]

The wife and I will try to make it, depends on her work. Most likely stay at Comfort Inn if we do. About 7hrs from me so we may just ride Saturday.

[usnavymitchells]

We camp that region all the time plan on cold at night possibly freezing temps that time of year. Not sure of our schedule this far out might do the day trip or over night at the C.I....Only 2+ hrs for us.:D

[korisu56]

I would definitely like to be in on this. Only thing is I don't think my shit will be up to snuff just yet. I'll see. Worse comes to worse, list me as needing a seat. I'd like to just come chill and cry about my jeep with people who will understand :)

[brownrc]

For door prizes I've always asked around places like 4WDH or Quadratec. Lots of times they will give out some good stuff for events like this. I always had to get door prize donations for our club events.

I'm sure there will be seats available. That does bring up a good point though. If others are willing to let someone ride with them, a few people could essentially take their cars and meet-up at the hotel or RC.... something to look into.:beer:

[vwJarhead]

I would be more than happy to make a seat available in exchange for beers Friday night:).

Chris, If Patty and I can make it you are more than welcome to wheel with us. Besides I am certain that Patty would probably want to walk some of the obstacles anyway..:eek:. She has volunteered to be my camera girl....:beer: If all goes well I am hoping to have 4.88's in and 2-3" lift done by then if the money holds out.

Right now we are looking at Cherokee's 90's era for Patty. Then it is on to the project Jeep. Hoping Jeff Daniels still has that 67 Commando when I can afford it.

[korisu56]

I would be more than happy to make a seat available in exchange for beers Friday night:).

Sold. Marking the date on the calendar. I'll secure some MJ swag for the dealio as well.

[usnavymitchells]

I am soooooo hurt..:D

[korisu56]

Haha. Have you had to sit in the back of a YJ? I rode from Augsburg, Germany to the Netherlands in the back of one with my brother, Dad, and step Mom. I'll never do it again :).

If I can, I'm going to try to play musical chairs, so watch your jeeps.

My jeep will be just about fixed by then, but I won't have a spare tire. The axle will be fixed in March, but I'm not taking her out with no spare tire. The original spare is on the jeep now, but has a huge gash in it. I don't know how it's holding air, so we'll just see if I can finagle some tires outta Jen. Probably going to be BFG AT's though.

Your welcome in my JK....

[korisu56]

Then I'll definitely be out there and I'll bring a case of beer to share with whoever I ride with.

[jeepbonehead]

i'm in!!!! unless my unit changes drill dates

[hely74]

I am in on this. Not sure if my wife will be coming along. We will be at the CI.

[korisu56]

there may be a chance that my baby might be ready to make this run. stoked :)

[crazy4ink]

I may be there. All is going to depend on TTC and the things I need to do in preparation. If my Jeep is down, I'll find a beater and wheel it like a rental! I know my wife wants to wheel her XJ too. If we make it, I don't think we'll be camping; 2 year old may not do well with that.

[korisu56]

bump

[notarubicon]

i am a maybe will know closer to the date

[Jeffb_79]

I will say that I'm definitely a maybe! And I'll definitely be camping.... unless it's raining, then I'll go to the hotel :D
I'm due to have surgery sometime within/the next few months, that's going to be my only limiting factor. Even then, I may still sneak up there.

[SquiDMonkeY]

i want to be in on this. trying to convince the wife. It's about a 9 hour drive for us, which I have no problem doing. The only issue i see now is that my wedding aniversary is april 29th. Id really like a chance to get to meat a lot of you guys and get some good experience and opinions on things. Id like to camp out, but it'll depend on the weather.

[korisu56]

Just make plans to wow her for the anniversary and say its dependent on your attendance of the event. :)

[Tobleron]

Finally, I will definetely be there.:D

[rroadkilll]

Put on calendar... NO guarantee!!!

[mdcj7]

would love to go but I will be in Harlan KY wheeling two week before this then I will be at Greenridge camping the next. This would make the third weekend in a row not sure if the funds will hold up. I realy don't think I will be able to make it not sure if my rig will be working after Harlan KY. Thanks for the invite.

[deckster]

I would like to go -but cant-Scouts camping out at Camp Rock Enon same weekend-Sorry!:(

[HillBillE]

Damn, if I wasn't heading to Moab on April 10th, I would be going to this.

We plan our trip a year out, if there is a 'Camp MJ' next year, I'm in!
Heck, I drive 3000 miles roundtrip to Moab, so hitting the area of "Camp MJ 2010" would be feasible!

Good Luck with the turnout!

maybe next year we can do it at another offroad park and then continue the following years. that would be cool.

[BucketOKarma]

That doesn't sound like a bad idea.... Hrmmmm.

[Jeep4life22]

I am in, My Jeep will be operational before then.

[USMCHarleyJeepGuy]

Mrs.USMCHarleyJeepGuy and I are a maybe...I am flying back in town on the 24th from the west coast so we might not make it until Saturday.

[theyeti1775]

Throw Georgia and I for a Maybe as well.

[nymdnurse]

putting the date on my calender, would love to attend and show the young ones you're never too old for fun!!

[T3hRustyWalnut]

WOW this sounds like a great time. I'll probably have to that weekend. I only live an hour and a half away from RC.

Oh yeah and if you cant tell I'm new! I never knew of MJ. I seen some posts in the Jeepforums website nd had to sign up. I am up for meeting and wheeling with new people

If you know of anyone else that is mil or was mil and owns a jeep, let them know. The more people that turnout, the better the event will be.

[highlandercj-7]

My local Jeep club will be there the weekend before, this run. I want to go in the worst way but IDK if I can make it yet.

Edit, well this run is out. My unit is on the middle of a ORE Inspection over that weekend. Oh joy!I get to visit the shyt hole in Wisconsin, again......

[JTs-JK]

Count me in as a maybe. I don't have a return date from my deployment but it will be right around that time and if I make it back by Fri I'll be up there Fri night.
JT

[VillanoSr]

If I am here(still in the country) I will be up for the Saturday ride. Maybe if I can get the family in the hotel, I will bring them up as well..... Will keep you posted as to PCS orders.....

[BucketOKarma]

Sounds good, I'll put you down as another "maybe" then.

[T3hRustyWalnut]

Alright take me off the maybe list. And put me on the going list! With the wife tagging long. We'll probably stay at the hotel.

[korisu56]

Yes!! :)

[TheRenegade]

Yes!! :)


does this mean the heep is fixed????

[korisu56]

haha...no. just excited that another commited. Mine WILL be fixed unless the engine falls out after i finish putting it back together.

[vwJarhead]

I'm still in!!!! In case anyone gives a damn....;)

[TheRenegade]

I'm still in!!!! In case anyone gives a damn....;)



of course we do vdub!!!! ;):beer:

[miljeep]

This is going to be cool if everyone can go and meet up.

[BucketOKarma]

I'm still in!!!! In case anyone gives a damn....;)

You may be lost, but you haven't been forgotten :D

[miljeep]

Can everyone do me a favor though and post up what model jeep you have such as TJ, JK, CJ, etc... I need to know for one of the sponsors so they can provide something that someone will be most likely to get use out of.

Also, if you want to link to www.campmj.com from another site / forum, please feel free. We have Heavy Metal Concepts coming down to video tape and produce the event, so you will likely end up in some sort of movie of the event :)

[miljeep]

I just got word from another vendor that would like to help by providing door prizes. I will post more when I get home from work.

[TJ 4 the Boxers]

Sweet :beer::beer:

[BucketOKarma]

Main page updated:beer: If your name doesn't have your jeep next to it in the main post, please post your jeeps letter designations (CJ,TJ,XJ,JK,etc.) here, so your name can be updated in the main post. Thank you.

[navyjeeper]

Put me down for a maybe, I have to fix my steering issue but I leave next Sat. for Pcola and I don't come back until the 18th of April so with the wife and kids it will only really leave me a week of actual work time.

Hopefully everything will be fixed by then.

[korisu56]

updated all models for you, but you gotta do the coloring :)

[BucketOKarma]

updated all models for you, but you gotta do the coloring :)

Thanks! Done, and Done!

[z_gilligan]

I will probably be able to go. I can possible get a couple more rigs too.
Hopefully I will have my BB on by then

[miljeep]

If they are or were mil, tell them to join here for free and post up so we can get a good head count. That makes it easier to try to get sponsors for the door prizes if they see that there are "X" number of people / jeeps going.

[gswalton]

Planning on coming up Friday evening & staying though Saturday with 1 rider & either the TJ ro YJ (not sure which???)

[Money Shot]

I'm new to this site and was wondering if there is anything special I need to do to be apart of this event and if there is any more room????

[BucketOKarma]

I'm new to this site and was wondering if there is anything special I need to do to be apart of this event and if there is any more room????

Plenty of room, there is no cap on this run. All you need is to be a member (I see that you are), and own a jeep, easy. If you plan on wheeling at RC, you also need to follow their rules as well, but that's it. Are you in?

[Money Shot]

I'm in!!!:D

[stuck2often]

Count me in for camp MJ

[CJGumby]

I'm in. Let's see what the XJ can do...

[z_gilligan]

I will work on it!!

Im trying to get a bunch from my unit to go.

[sadass]

I Just put in for that weekend off, I see no problem with approval. Look forward to meeting some new friends!

[miljeep]

The list keeps getting bigger and bigger. Wish we could have made it. :(

[USMCHarleyJeepGuy]

House-6 and I are now GTG for Sat/Sun.

[BucketOKarma]

Hopefully we can get some of the people off the "maybe" list and on the "GO" list! Looking good though! Keep them coming!

[friskeljr]

im workin on it. i have to wait for people to finalize the april schedual

[akxj]

Are you guys planning getting hotels in advance or is it kinda fend for yourself...if diesel stays the same i will definately be on this...

[friskeljr]

[korisu56]

[JEEPINUSA06TJ]

Waitin on school orders, but if they dont come down i would love to make it.

Ill be just sleeping at the park. It doesn't say anything about dogs (that I could see). Anyone have any info?

[TJ 4 the Boxers]

Pretty sure it's the basics. Need to be on a leash and clean up after they do their business.

[BucketOKarma]

Thanks BeeCee!

[rockready]

Could you break this down "Barney style" for me? You lost me after "I should be able to come"


I am the only ZJ going. So what your saying is I am going to have the Best Jeep ZJ there. Nice!

Does this mean you're coming OFF the "maybe" list, and would like to be bumped up to "GO" status?

[rroadkilll]

Could you break this down "Barney style" for me? You lost me after "I should be able to come"


I'm guessing that when he wheels he "WHEELS"!!!

[beecee]

Hey Chris,
You might want to give Rausch a call about Dogs. If I remember right, dogs are not allowed on the trails at Rausch, but I may be mistaken. I know they were allowed at Paragon.

[BucketOKarma]

I just talked to HeavyMetal, he said dags are allowed, just not at the competitions. Go ahead, bring your dogs man! When I was at "Operation Enduring Realness" one of the guys bought a dog, it rode on all the trails in the jeep, no problems. It's fine, don't worry.

[rroadkilll]

Rausch Creek Off Road Park is a membership-based facility. There are no pre-requisites or waiting lists. All drivers and passengers must sign a membership application & liability waiver. Drivers and passengers age 16 and up are required to become members of the park which costs $10 per year and is good for one year from the date you join. Membership cards are given out when you join.

Children age 15 and younger are free, however, we require a parental waiver. All members under the age of 18 also require a parental waiver.

The daily entrance fee is $35.00 for the vehicle and driver. Passengers age 16 and up are $5.00 each (When a passenger joins the park, the $5.00 fee is waived that day). We offer free primitive camping for our members.

So i think im slowly wearing down the wive's resolve into letting me go to this. Once I told her there would be camping she seemed to like the idea a lot better, we actually bought sleeping bags last night. Go figure i say camping and she says "Oh we gotta go buy..." Oh well. So im not quite completely confirmed yet.. but it's 90%. Hell we even talked about bringing my younger brother along and everything. So for those who are going, how many are doing the camping thing? My wife is definetly most interested in that. Do they have cooking area's or would we have to be prepared to cook on the camp fire? (definetly the best way)

[TJ 4 the Boxers]

There are NO grills at RC. So cooking is over the fire rings or bring your own grill. I agree cooking over the open fire is the best. Sounds like my other half is not going, so I'll be camping. Might as well I didnn't buy the gear and trailer for nothing.

[LVC2003]

My wife and I should be good to go for the 25th, possibly the 26th too. I'd like to camp out there, but seeing as we only live about 30 mins from RC, I have to sell that to her first!

If anyone from out of town needs to know any more info on the local area, feel free to ask away!!

My club was just out at Rausch yesterday and it was the perfect mix of still frozen ground with fresh mud holes to play in.

[rockready]

how many trail giudes do we have for this event. plus what type of trails are we taking. like green, blues on saturday and black and reds on sunday?
i will be camping out in my gov. sleeping bag. if i come up. so far it looks like a go but not 100% on that yet.

See the "A suggestion" thread for more intel, or to contribute to our current "trails, and trail guides" discussion. Once things start getting straightened out, there will be a sticky in the "Camp MJ" section. Thank you for your interest.

[sadass]

I am changing my status from a Maybe to,,,, I AM GOING!:D I will try to keep the ZJ's shinny side up till then.:beer:

[BucketOKarma]

Awesome! Updated.

[Jeff Latham]

This event sound too good to pass up, so count me in. Will be wheeling 08 Rubi UnLimited. Looks like the wife and oldest son will escort me. Will be there for Sat and possible Sun as we are within driving distance.

jeff

[USMCCowboy]

put me down as a maybe i will know more on my schedule when the time gets closer. i want to see what my jeep will do with it being stock. TJ

[rockready]

well the barney way is..... if i break anyting i will not be there. the finances is if i can make enough money on the side i will be able to. but i just got laid off so money is getting really tight right know.

[BucketOKarma]

Updated.... This is becoming EPIC! Awesome!

[friskeljr]

when i get home from leave, the april schedul should be done. so i will know for sure when i come back...if the people decide to do what they are actually supposed to do...

[SquiDMonkeY]

I IS CONFIRMED! I have managed to talk my wife into it. We will be camping and bringing our two dogs. The only thing that can stop me now is my leave getting denied. I dont see that happening. Dont know if my younger brother will be coming or not yet though.

[notarubicon]

I am a maybe and will only be able to go on saturday and have to leave sunday

[mdcj7]

If I don't break anything in Harlan KY I'll be there.

[KJ Willy]

Well my ships movement got rearranged so put me down as a maybe with a KJ, and camping out.

Should know closer to the time.

[usnavymitchells]

Okay We are now a definate. Looking forward to this.:D

[Devildog]

Ok guys its a go for me. I will come up friday, wheel and have to high tail it back on sat. I think I will trailer the old YJ up since my diesel loaded gets better fuel mileage than my YJ LOL Or should I bring the wifes MK :eek: up and wheel that bad boy :D

[xena warrior]

This sounds like a good event. I will be bring the wife and oldest boy. From sat. to sun. probably stay at the hotel. Driving 02 tj.
Thanks looking forward to meeting everybody.

[Big Green]

I really want to do this. I have been looking into Rausch Creek since I moved up here this summer. Hopefully I can get a Rubi before then as my TJ has extremely high mileage and I hesitate to take it that far and wheel it and then take it home. I don't expect my YJ to be here until this summer. :( Anybody have extra trailer space coming from the West Point area? (LOL) But seriously, I hope to be able to make this, it would be nice to wheel with y'all.

[JeepinSoldier]

Put me in as a solid mabe. Im going to work this out with the CO for leave this coming week. Problem is the weekend is open but it falls between two serious training events.

Already cleared with household 6. :)

[BucketOKarma]

Time is getting shorter, anyone know if their "Maybe" can turn into a "GO" yet?

[rockready]

count me out unemployment has not paid me yet getting short on cash

[BucketOKarma]

Sorry to hear that man. Good luck.

[Robot]

I'll be there with one passenger, camping.
All my parts are in (or shipping) as well, so I should have my lift on and ready for it by then.

[JeepinSoldier]

Time is getting shorter, anyone know if their "Maybe" can turn into a "GO" yet?

Move me to the GO list! :D

Will be myself and at least 1 passenger. Will camp Fri and Sat. Will wheel Sat and Sun.

[Jeffb_79]

You can bump me off the maybe list and to the definite list.

Do we need to make special arrangements if we plan on camping at the park?

[BucketOKarma]

The list is updated to reflect two new "Bumps" from "Maybe" to "Go"!! Woot!



Jeffb_79: No special arrangements are needed for camping, once you are at the park, go straight to the "shack" to get your membership and day pass (you will need a new day pass for each day). Once you do that, find yourself a spot to camp in the woodline. I personally think the area between the entrance and the port-o-lets is the best camping and should be large enough for the amount of people we have camping.

Beware the pungee pits in the camping areas though, the VC are everywhere!

[korisu56]

Good thing I went to the site. If you've never gone before and are wheeling both days, be ready to spend 80 bucks. I may be coming up early Saturday so I don't have to pay to camp Friday night. I know that's weak, but I'm already pushing it to get her registered in time.

[BucketOKarma]

I just found my year membership card from last June, all I have to pay now is the day-pass fees.

[korisu56]

To be 100% correct, I WILL have to pay the 35.00 entrance fee if I'm just camping friday night right?

[BucketOKarma]

Chris: I'll check on that, and get back to you.

[korisu56]

Thanks Shane.

[JeepinSoldier]

To be 100% correct, I WILL have to pay the 35.00 entrance fee if I'm just camping friday night right?

If thats the case I will not be arriving until Sat AM.

[Jeffb_79]

If thats the case I will not be arriving until Sat AM.

Same here, I was thinking about heading up friday night, but may hold off till saturday morning.

[XJCowboy]

Im most likely gonna go on this. It depends on what I break on the next 2 trips :D. Add me to the list.

[TJ 4 the Boxers]

Guys, if you show up to the park on Friday afternoon and don't want to wheel but set up camp there is no charge. You can walk the Comp course but NO riding around.

There is a $10/year membership that you need to get, best bet is to have the form filled out with the waiver before getting there. Wheeling is $35/day or if you're close enough to the park you can get a 5 day pass for $125 (good for a year). There is also a season pass for $300. IMO, I like the 5 day pass, especially since I intend to wheel Sat and Sun. But I do go there enough.:cool:

There is a "clearing" to the right of the driveway enterance that can hold a large party along with a few spot tucked in the tree line.

RC Membership and Waiver (http://www.rc4x4.org/sis/mem.php)

[BucketOKarma]

Yes and thanks, CQ Rob

I'm making a new thread for ALL THOSE THAT ARE PLANNING ON CAMPING.

RC would like to know what kind of numbers they are dealing with so I need all the people planning on camping to post up in the Camping thread as soon as I put it up.



Thank you,

RC Membership and Waiver (http://www.rc4x4.org/sis/mem.php)

Thanks for the info! I would much prefer to arrive and camp Fri. I understand no wheeling until Sat. It may sound cheap but that extra $35 is the tank of gas to get up there. Household 6 has me on a tight buget leash. :rolleyes:

[korisu56]

That makes two of us, Top. I'll be up there Friday with one passenger and two dogs. Two vehicles as well.

[Ignis8825]

I will be going all three days. Sorry for the late notice. I've emailed Lynn and let her know everything. I'll be driving up with Chris Friday night. I'll have one guy riding shotgun.

[Devildog]

I will also be up friday to camp and wheel on sat.

[Fifthpro]

Well, I guess I will add a few names.....besides, someone will have to keep a certain Marine (and his new wife) in check!
We will arrive Friday and camp on site.

Fifthpro (Green TJ)
OldSchool (Green CJ)
GeenSideUp (Green TJ)
DP75 (White LJ)
SlamFire (Blue TJ)

I may have one more, I just have to chat with him.

Anyone from the NOVA area that wants to roll with us sign up on the "Attendees from Northern Virginia" thread.

Cheers! :beer:

[korisu56]

Well played fifthpro.

[Loosedog]

I am a maybe, Gotta se if I can get some leave.

[friskeljr]

IM IN! my ncoic said he is 99% sure the schedule wont change. he said im good to have the weekend off. and i may have another friend with his jeep also

[Deerslayer88yj]

im in LEAVE APPROVED!!

[Robot]

Anyone from the NOVA area that wants to roll with us let me know and I will provide the link-up location and time line.

Cheers! :beer:

If you're heading up Friday night then myself and my buddy, riding shotgun, wouldn't mind heading up with ya. We live in the Quantico/Stafford area, so we are going to have to pass by anyway.

Hey Mate, check out the "Attendees from Northern Virginia" thread in this section for the details. You will see our SP time and link-up location. The route will be published in the near future. If you plan to roll with us (and you are welcome to) please sign up on that thread so I can track everyone.

[bluedragon436]

I hope this does become an annual event... as I will still be in Germany when this one happens... I can't wait to get a jeep and start wheeling with you guys!!

[Big Green]

Is there a flyer for this? There are some guys at work who may be interested but would need info on this and the club. I have mentioned both the club and M&G to several of them but need something on paper to hand them. If somebody has something made up, or can make one up, I can just print it up and hand it out. We have quite a few Jeepers in our squadron and several times I have mentioned doing something like this, so this is a perfect opportunity for us. If somebody has something let me know and I will send you my email.

[beecee]

Shane/Chris, can you guys make something up for BIGGREEN ???

As it was put to me a while back by Truck. For every 100 people who own a Jeep and are in or were in the Military you may get a couple of people interested. And then those who do end up joining even less become actively involved.

Don't spin your wheels over this. Give them the info and they can either join and come have a great weekend at the First Camp MJ. Or they can sit on their arse at home watching Barney cartoons...

[beecee]

Yeah, what Dave said. That's even better than a flyer. Print out his post, and attach the web-site for Rausch Creek and let them come if they want. Not bad for an OLD guy Dave.

Did I say that. I don't remember doing that..:eek:

[BucketOKarma]

Go to www.CampMJ.com, print the page, and hand it to them. That's the best thing I can think of.

[korisu56]

x2 on the idea. I was actually working this morning. I know, I know. It doesn't happen often, but it did today :)

[crazycj7]

Just wondering if this was a hard list, cause I signed up a while ago for the blue/green trail and did not see my name on the list.. Just checking... Thanks Jimmy

I'm sorry, I must have missed it. You are a "GO" then right? I'll put you down as a definite, unless you say otherwise, I'll also mark you down in the trail sign-up section.:beer:

[Big Green]

Go to www.CampMJ.com (http://www.CampMJ.com), print the page, and hand it to them. That's the best thing I can think of.


Ok, I'll do that.

[Big Green]

Passed out a few flyers today. Maybe a few of them will check out the site and maybe join everybody here and maybe out on the trails. A few are going to RC the weekend before so may not go two weeks in a row. Anyway, hopefully I added to the ranks here.

I talked to a couple of them later and several seemed interested, so maybe.

As far a Binghamton and New Windsor, not sure I'd have to mapquest it. New Windosr is right by Newburgh and just a few miles north of West Point.

[krazygrunt92]

im in for saturday

[KJ Willy]

Take me off the maybe list and put me on the going list.

I will start getting the camping info sent off.

Anyone else from S Va going?

Updated!

Why don't you meet us at Alexandria, VA....it is in route and probably a fuel stop for you coming from down there. Check out the "Attendees from Northern Virginia" tread in the Camp MJ area.

[theyeti1775]

Were out, money is to tight this month.

[KJ Willy]

Ya I thought about that but not sure if I will be able to leave that early, but will keep an eye out.

[BucketOKarma]

Were out, money is to tight this month.

I was hoping to meet the infamous "Yeti", I hope things work out for you.

[Decibel]

Well, I'm a brand new member as of today and I noticed you guys will be in my neck of the woods next month already. How perfect!

I suspect my fiance and I will be joining you all for this outting. I likely won't be able to trail with you (going to have to check with doc) - I broke my hand on St. Patties Day and am not suppose to put any strain on it - doctors orders but I'd love to meet all of you and get some tips. I have a stock '08 Rubicon Unlimited and about > ---- < this much knowledge of what I need done to it to get her ready to trail (if much at all), so if its not too much of a burden I'll just come pick all of your brains as I'm eager to trail.
- Powers

[beecee]

Welcome to MJ. If your hand is bothering you, just let your fiancee do the driving.

[Decibel]

Your Kidding Right?! I dont trust her driving it on pavement let alone on the trails! Not to mention she doesn't know how to drive stick.
No thanks - as much as I would like to trail, if doc says I can't i'd feel safer not going at all over having her behind the wheel. :cool:

[xjjeep8765]

i might come, new to the area just got stationed at dover afb and would be down for some east coast trails.

[miljeep]

i might come, new to the area just got stationed at dover afb and would be down for some east coast trails.

you would have a chance to meet 40 plus members face to face. It is a good chance to meet people that you may be wheeling with in the next few years.

[Decibel]

in regards to the campground does anyone know if they allow dogs? we're trying to figure out if we can bring ours or if we'll need to find a sitter.

also is there any rules about animals at rausch? never been trailing and provided im allowed to via doctors orders id need to find a safe place that the fiance can be with him.

just trying to plan everthing out now so im all setup :o

Get yourself a suicide knob for the steering wheel and only use your good hand. You'll be good to go.

Which campground are you referring to? Rausch has primtive camping that is free with membership and wheeling. They do allow dogs, just your basic rules. On a leash and clean up after them.

There are a few other campgrounds in the area and I'm sure they allow pets also.

Lots of folks bring their dogs with them. I would invest in a harness system that doesn't allow a lot a free roaming. I've got mine set in 3 stages for my knuckleheads, though I haven't brought either on a ride to RC.

If you're wheeling, where is your fiance going to be, if not in the passenger seat?

[Decibel]

actually that was going to be my next question - which camp ground are most of you staying at? This jeep will be heading up with quite a few beers if folks arent staying at a state park and plan to mainly hit one campground.

[TJ 4 the Boxers]

I think everyone that is camping is going to be right on the property, since it's priced right, FREE:D. Some are staying at the Comfort Inn which is 10 miles or so from the park.

[Jeffb_79]

Here's a link for Rausch Creek's campground info as well as info on other places to stay in the area:
http://www.rauschcreekoffroadpark.org/sis/camp.php

On the subject of beers, can I assume they allow alcohol in the camp ground when the trail rides/driving are done for the day?

Yeah you can drink at the camp sites AFTER you're done for the day. You can NOT walk around in the Comp area or parking lot. The booze needs be kept at camp, it's NOT allowed on the trails at all. Drunk driving violators will have the membership banned, lifetime, and the club will also be put on warning. These rules can also be found on the main site or forums.

[Jeepmadman]

need to add me as a definet posted before just wasnt added wil be staying at the hotel on exit 100 hampton inn

[USMCKING]

I would like to sign up as a probable. I am going to RC the weekend prior (the 18 & 19) if I dont break anything I will be there. I will do Blue/green, Blue and toy around in Black. I will be camping on site.

I hope I don't break anything on 18/19 because I'd sure like to be there with everyone for Camp MJ.

Cayce

[Fifthpro]

I might be able to go the only thing I am lacking at the moment is a full size spare unless someone has a 35x12.5x15 they are willing to part with in the near future for not to much cash.

I have 4 sitting on Belvoir right now............got anything to trade?

[spectac]

I'm rather upset. I attempted to take leave for the event, however, we have an air show that weekend. All leave is denied. wish I could make it.

[Jeff Latham]

Just wondering, is there going to be a start time posted for the meet and greet and with all the jeeps that are comming, anyone notifiy the print press for some coverage in any mags?

jeff

[crazy4ink]

Ok, so Friday is not going to be a wheeling day? I was planning on closing the shop down for Friday and bringing the whole MVC crew and significant others. It would be 4 rigs and 6 people.If we're not wheeling Friday, please let me know so that I can adjust things at this end. Right now it looks like we are coming down for a day.

[Fifthpro]

Crazy4Ink,
There is NO wheeling on Friday.....travel day for most, camp that night and wheel on Saturday, camp that night and RTB on Sunday.

Cheers!

[Decibel]

please put me down as well. ill fall under maybe as im about 90% sure right now - ill run greens and maybe some light blues - and ill need a guide as this will be my first offroading experience.

[Jeep4life22]

Well I hate to do this since I have been working on my YJ project so much getting it ready for this outing. But work (DOIM G6) has scheduled our network restructure project for that weekend. and its going to be Friday until monday morning. I knew I should have taken leave for that day way in advance and of course tehy didnt annouce when it was going to happen. Sorry to disappoint guys. I will trek out to another big meeting when it happens.

[RescueJP]

I am about 80percent probably goin to be there with my rig from tx as the two i have sittin in md are not yet road worthy

[BucketOKarma]

Just wondering, anyone notifiy the print press for some coverage in any mags?

jeff

I feel incredibly stupid for not thinking of this, but in my defense, I didn't really expect the turn-out to be so good, and I certainly didn't think we would get sponsors. Then there is the fact that I'm getting married, and shipping out the weekend after the event (this is my "Final Ride" before shipping). To answer your question, I didn't think to do it, but someone else may have.

[RescueJP]

If not i could send something to JP or petersons I will get with Ryan tommorrow

[miljeep]

A lot of those mags will accept articles written intelligently with high res photos to accompany the article.

http://www.oramagazine.com/ was one that had said in the past that if we can provide an article with photos, they would be interested in printing it.

[warthog_cj7]

Running the CJ-7.

sounds like a great time. :mad: I'm gonna have to avoid the forum so that I'm not constantly reminded of what I'm missing!

[E5EDDIE]

Rear main seal, or other?
If the rear main seal, you might just want to get used to the fact of having it. I thought mine was leaking pretty bad before, but I only lose about a half quart every 3k miles so I haven't bothered to attempt fixing it yet.

[Joe Roberts]

Someone please run trails 21 & 17 for me...LOL, there my favorites!

Shoot me a PM if you are going. I still have the TJ side steps for you and I can bring them with me no shipping costs. We are going up late on the 24th.

[ptmt96]

BOK,

Put me down on the "Maybe List" It will depend on a family outting. Thanks! "ptmt96 '06-TJ"

[Money Shot]

sorry fellas. i know i said i would be able to make this. i didn't know that we would run into a couple of parts getting put on back order. hopefully you guys do this again, cause i really want to go on this. good luck with the run and drive hard.

if you guys wanna follow my build. pics are posted on www.viperoffroad.com
under build-up/projects titled Money Shot

again sorry i cannot make it

[E5EDDIE]

Yeah, it's the rear main seal...again. I got it repaired last year and will have to do it again. Why does this happen, got any thoughts? I was wondering if it's that the Jeep is heavy and on the highway the AT trans struggles to push enough, keep finding myself deep in the throttle and not moving. Is it still cool to join up and go with y'all or is the list closed yet?:beer:

Rear main seal, or other?
If the rear main seal, you might just want to get used to the fact of having it. I thought mine was leaking pretty bad before, but I only lose about a half quart every 3k miles so I haven't bothered to attempt fixing it yet.

[E5EDDIE]

Hey man, PM'n ya-ed:beer:

Shoot me a PM if you are going. I still have the TJ side steps for you and I can bring them with me no shipping costs. We are going up late on the 24th.

[BucketOKarma]

Sorry, I haven't had time to update this recently. I'll try to get back on top of things shortly.

[USMCHarleyJeepGuy]

Yeah, it's the rear main seal...again. I got it repaired last year and will have to do it again. Why does this happen, got any thoughts? I was wondering if it's that the Jeep is heavy and on the highway the AT trans struggles to push enough, keep finding myself deep in the throttle and not moving. Is it still cool to join up and go with y'all or is the list closed yet?:beer:


I know there was a TSB out there in 03-04 regarding burrs on the rear portion of some crankshafts during those years that caused premature failure of rear main seals...might be worth looking into.

[94GC52]

Put me on the List as a maybe, strong definate. I need to see if I can break some stuff before my next sandbox trip...

Hope you can make it! It would be great to wheel together.............

Im also on the Blue/Black trails.

[94GC52]

Blue's and black's! I didn't spend 15,000 plus dollars on a Jeep to drive greens! I'll be driving up saturday morning, camping over night.

[94GC52]

I am the only ZJ going. So what your saying is I am going to have the Best Jeep ZJ there. Nice!

You're (hopefully) not the only ZJ going anymore. Lets just hope my shite is done in time...

[E5EDDIE]

No kidding? I'm gonna check it out today, twice in a year? WTF?

Nice! I will be there all weekend. I sill have a little work to do this week coming up. but I will be there, Even If I don't have the best ZJ;)

[BucketOKarma]

Updated again, please check the list ALL THE WAY through, make sure your name is where it should be. I hd to take some names off the "going" list, and instead of rewriting all the numbers, I just filled the empty spaces. So please double check.

[friskeljr]

[E5EDDIE]

Sorry y'all, I gotta bail out on Camp MJ. I'm having another surgery on my spine on 22APRIL, civilian doc's this time not Walter Reed...I won't be on my feet much for a while. Have fun, be safe and toss back a few for me. Hopefully this'll happen again next year and I can go,

[mikesad27]

[Jeff Latham]

Has anyone come up with a time that the meet and greet will start on Saturday?Would like to know what time to arrive at RC. At the meet and greet will we then be placed into groups for the trail rides or whats the plan for everyone meeting up? Thanks in advance.

jeff

[korisu56]

Let's shoot with meeting at the office at opening hour. that should give everyone a good amount of time as I've heard its going to be crowded and such. Do they take cards (i.e. visa, mc, amex, etc)

[brownrc]

I thought I could make it but other things came up, maybe next time:(

They do now, just started in Jan. Before that cash only. Office opens at 0800. Might be best to set the staging area on the left side of the office, towards where the old office was. (For those of us familiar with the park. It's a nice large area. We've used it to set up for NJJA's Crawl 4 the Cure about 125/150 Rigs. )

[vwJarhead]

For anyone keeping track I need to add a YJ to my reservation. My Father in Law is coming with me. And yes he is a Vet.

[94GC52]

Move me to the For Sure coming group. I wont be leaving till around 6am on saturday though, gotta work friday night. I figure with a good tail wind I should be there no later than 10am. I hope that not too late in the day, but I figure campers wont be up and about too early....

[Deerslayer88yj]

This event is growing by the day now!
Anyone from our "maybe" list looking to upgrade to a definite?

[miljeep]

We are waiting on our plane to get here so we can get the heck out of fort lee. Once I get back home, I will try to scrub the list and see who is showing. I know some dropped, and some signed up for a trail, but did not post here to get added to the master list.

Hope everyone that goes has a good time, takes lots of pics and has a safe weekend.

[sandtoy]

Could not make ot for the weekend. Went up on Friday for the maiden voyage of my sons 86 CJ-7.(beater project we are fixinup). Met Capndonsghost at the gas station on the way in. He was setting up camp and the place was rather empty.

Weather was good and we hit the trails. Ran a few greens then his fuel pump crapped out. Put her back on the trailer and headed home. Had she held up we were headed back after work to run Sunday.

Anyway by next year we will his trail worthy and hopefully mine will be on 35's.

Weather is great and the trails primed for some fun.

Enjoy

[gswalton]

Just got back home...We (Ryan & Myself) had a great time last night & today, met some of the great MJ people & won a couple excellent prizes. Thanks to all those involved with putting this together & the ones that showed up & "made it happen"!!!

Now I'm looking forward to PAJeeps' show in York, PA...Anyone else interested???

[crazy4ink]

I'll be at PA Jeeps. It will be my fourth year there as a vendor. See ya then
