jpdocdave Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 wade, when are you leaving, i'm trying to see if anyone wants to head down friday evening when i get off work, no one is speaking up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 i am leaving early friday morning. i think everyone from wi4x4 is leaving either thursday night or friday morning with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 I'm heading out Friday morning, but since I'll be driving by myself (rest of JeepSkoolers are taking a more northern route) I'm not in any hurry. Get up whenever I wake up, make breakfast, pack lunch, and take it easy out there. Best guess is leaving around 10am or so, getting there around 5 or 6pm.

mvusse Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Well, through circumstances beyond my control, I will not have new Maxxis Bighorns OR Treadwright D-Muds. Just a non-matching set of used ATs. But still, I should have no trouble with that green trail rock crawl or muddy area. With the 4" higher stance and front locker I'm going to attempt to get to that one wall at the quarry again. If I can get to it I know I can climb it. But with my long wheel base and long body behind the rear axle, getting to it is the hard part. I plan to do some playing in the quarry, and need retribution on the (definitely NOT stock friendly) green trail. Are we planning to do the orange as well? Or the mud flats atop the dunes nearby the pipes? Or the mud pits in the trees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdocdave Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 i will go anywhere, so who's camping at the park? make sure you somer's guys find me before you hit the trails. black yj w/ a snorkel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Wade is staying at Badlands (Red mallcrawler ;) , red Dodge 2500 tow rig with truck bed camper), as is at least one JeepSkooler (grey XJ, lifted 6.5", no front bumper) and myself (gray/black/rust MJ lifted 6.5", no front fender flares). My tent will be easy to spot also. It's a dirty orange canvas square pyramid. Can't miss it. When do you plan on arriving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdocdave Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 i thought wade was doing somer's. he's at the park now? i will leave friday afterwork, and with the time difference i will be at the camp around 9:30-10:00. edit: oops add an hour to that.

You mean PINK? I guess you were serious about rolling it... You're nuts! Quarry woods pipes, lunch, then orange and/or green? We can leave out the pipes by themselves in the morning. I believe both orange and green go through them. Then again, I've only been there twice. Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel pink/red, same thing. always wanted to run it and we will have the right jeeps for it. after i do that, then mission impossible will be next for a later date. i don't think any "colored" trail runs the pipes either.

jpdocdave Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 the green trail runs the pipes. green is the one that runs through the river bed right. i do wanna do the orange trail, it seems to get skipped every time i go. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 the green trail runs the pipes. green is the one that runs through the river bed right. negative. green starts pretty much at the entrance and i thought it ended with the rock hillclimb.

jpdocdave Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 i used to know the park like the back of my hand 10 yrs ago, but its all changed. i like it though, they've done nice stuff with it. like when you go through the entrance, and down the hill where the quads and people park, there's a whole nother section to the right with trails and a gravel pit. back in my day you could only go left to the road to the dunes.

mvusse Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 I'm pretty sure green came to the river. I had to be pulled through the mud right before it. My buddy almost flopped his XJ in that same mud, and Pat got stuck on a log in the river right there. The pipes are like 300 yards downstream from there. I'm pretty sure we went through the pipes in the orange trail as well, the first time I went to Badlands. June sometime I think it was. Either way, JeepSkoolers are dropping like flies. Anthony (xjawgi) and I are both still in. Of the four maybes one is definitely out, no word yet from the other three. And after not having used it in close to a year and not remembering where I'd stored it, I found my safety flag in the second place I looked!
