Roland I would love to go but my truck is getting torn down starting this weekend and won't be back up in time:rolleyes:

[southpaws3]

Good luck brad

[Funrover]

Any thoughts on what trail(s)?

[scout man]

Sounds like a great idea Roland!! I would totaly be in, except I finally started getting slammed with work that weekend. That and.. well... i dont really have a rig right now.

[Skatelove303]

Id be totally willing to run! Ive never met anyone so itd be nice to get out and meet a couple of you guys :) The only person i kinda know is ColoDisco on here, Me and my buddy will probably run with ya guys, Ive got a rover and hes got a 90 Cherokee :)

[Robert B]

hey roland do you have times for this event ?? (when you leaving to go camp , or trail times ??)

[Roostercruiser]

Since borbour is closed. Devil is closed. There is lots of Yankee hill we could never cuz of snow
. Alot more of Yankee could be open. An should be nice weather from what I heard
There are alot of trails along fall river rd as a back up. .monsterburban is planning on camping up Yankee some where. Will be a grill and fry up some burgers and such for lunch that day. That's kinda the idea. Just a relaxing fun day. Be up there by 9

[Skatelove303]

How are those trails? could a lifted rover with a nice set of AT's and a 1990 jeep with a 4.5 lift and nice ATs make it pretty fair up there?

[Rob]

Roland, post it up as a trail run. :thumb:

[Roostercruiser]

No problem skate.

[RockyMtnHigh]

:erm::confused:

[Roostercruiser]

Skatelove303;) Jock

[RockyMtnHigh]

Okay, if you say so, but I am still confused! :redface:

[Roostercruiser]

He was wondering if his rigs would make it. A couple post up.

Oh, that explains why when I searched Google for "skatelove303" trying to figure out what the hell you were talking about, there were a bunch of hits on facebook and some Rover forums. I thought you were responding to Rob!

I feel like a dumba$$! Maybe, I should just delete everything before everyone else sees it! :D

[Jackie]

I should just delete everything before everyone else sees it!
Nah... that would make the forum less fun!

[Patrolman]

Roland, do you think my van could do this? I am trying to see if I can make it. Just need to decide whether to take the 4Runner or give the van a chance.

[transplant87]

hey jeff just take the van. if it 4wheel drive u shoud be good with some good tires

[Patrolman]

They are just a 1/2 tread all season. I can't get a MT or AT to fit the van without doing more lift.

[Roostercruiser]

Jeff you should be fine in the van.

[Patrolman]

Cool. Will see if I can make it. Still busy with family life for time being. Would be a hoot to take out the van!

[Brody]

Someone may want to check to see what snow conditions are like right now in that area....

Just my :2c:, but it will end up making all the difference in the world....

[Funrover]

Snowed up there today!

[Roostercruiser]

Temp should be a nice 30's.

[RockyMtnHigh]

Temp should be a nice 30's.

Yeah if there was a weatherman here in this state that could predict the weather 3 days in advance (much less 5) he would be making a 7 figure salary and based off what I have seen one doesn't exist.

[Brody]

Amen to that. I figure out the weather when I get up and look outside in the morning.

[RockyMtnHigh]

Just a heads up to any of people that RVSPd maybe to this run, it was removed from the calendar by request of Roland as he could not make it. Just in case you go looking for it and it's not there! :thumb:
