ABOUT TIME! I'm there. This makes me 1 years strong as a member. I have had many thoughts of buying a jeep but I'm happy I have skipped the feeling and stay true to my Rover

 

 

Don't do it!!!   :P  Many an owner have strayed and few have come back.  Why is that?

 

Wait, I mean *many* have come back... :lr:  :lr:  :lr:

This year the trail runs come in three flavors.

 

Mild

Spicy

And 'are you freakin kidding me?!?!'

 

The last one will be available as a spectator event for those who prefer to let other people break parts for fun and entertainment. :)

No.......I thought Mike had passed on and his on-line pressense was just being maintained by a facebook algorithm.

If we have enough service, I am happy to hold a phone and do a live stream!!  Usually it's hard to get good service for that sort of thing in HH...

You have not figured out how to 2 meter to the repeater to the Dlink to the computer to the net live?  How can you live with yourself?  Next thing I know, there will be dirt in the trunk of Red Rover...

Yeah, sorry Don....not dead yet (says the AI that is the FB algorithm).

 

But give it time...we have a month until the annual.  Better put the Rover in the will early since it will be running better.

Trail runs start at 8:30 and 10:30 per plan.  This could be tweaked depending on who signs up for what runs.  We will have moderate and difficult runs as usual.  The moderate runs will be over in the Hudner area and are suitable for stock and lightly mod'ed rigs or less experienced drivers.  The difficult runs will be limited in number so we can get through in time (more trucks = slower going) and will require an experienced driver with a more modified truck willing to take more risk regarding potential damage. 

 

Then in the afternoon we'll have the extreme run which will be a spectator sport.  Two of us are going to take on Tank Traps which is only a short walk away from our Area 5 campsite.  Anybody who wants to try it is welcome to join but be aware the last time a Rover visited it ended up on it's side and there is a high chance of a repeat, a broken axle/etc, or at least winching out.  

 

I'll be posting more details as we get closer.  Some routes have already been mapped and others are still being developed.  I have some ideas for the difficult run I want to explore and make sure the trails are still open.

This is going to be cool seeing both of you do it!... I recommend either really wide wheels or spacers to push you off the walls and Colin will need a new roof by the time he is done. :P   I will join you next year! that will almost be 10 years then since I last did it!
