I went there last year on Labor day ... It was our first time there and we had a good time . TexasDick was our trail leader and kept us moving along finding the fun stuff .

Anybody plan on being there this year?

Hey Guys, I might want to tag along. I met you guys @ K-Rocks, I was in the blue YJ with the green body armor... If you don't mind. Where is this place?

Joshinator

Its down yonder a bit, South of Kerville Texas. Pretty sure i spelled that wrong... but you got enough to work with. Google Trees Ranch, you should be able to find something.

i donna , ima be 100% honest and say that last year , the shower situation licked ballsac . PLUS while i was waiting for a shower for like 20 minutes .. right when the door opened , some lady cut in front of me . i was mad

i may be gettin a hotel if i can swing it , but dang thats a long drive ... well see.

and Josh ... i know who paw paw is , your the one and only !!

FYI The second bunk house out there is available to rent.....It runs $175 for a long weekend and sleeps 10-15 people. Does not have a inside shower or toliet....but does have stove, fridge, kitchen sink, seperate room with bunks, dinning area, and of course use of the outside attatched shower and porta potties....It is rented to group on first come basis and limited to that groups use.


It used to have an inside shower and toilet but that is inoprable.



Just food for thought

It is available at this moment but as I said first commitment gets it.

i will be there, along with maverick and hopefully the rest of the wfo guys.

As for the shower's, we had no problem with the ones by the rv slots, but then again the last runs we went to were not to crowded so idk.

for the first time id go with one of the trail guides.....think they have a moderate group that would not be too easy or hard for your rig.

where in central tx are you?

shortsub
09-07-2009, 07:33 PM
awww man its all good , i was lookin forward to hanging and riding with ya but hey i know how it goes

that happened on turkey run ( left ) ... i was going far left on the V notch and it slammed me hard into that tree , i made it though so thats all that matters.
NO GLITTER DAMAGE OCCURED THOUGH so rest assured , it did get some scrathes tho.

I really like some of the stuff i hit this time that i havent hit previously ... sledgehammer , steves rodeo , nut buster/ cracker , the certifiables , and many more ... that loose rock/ ledge stuff is right up my alley.
when is your next planned outing Tim?

Yeah that widowmaker is way crazier than it looks in the video for sure!!! I tried it some in my anemic powered jeep. It made me look foolish. Plus I didn't want to end my day early by breaking so I stopped. We drove 7-1/2 hours to get there and didn't want to dissapoint myself!

You guys are right on widow maker until you are sitting on that top ledge with your front tires barely touching then you have to bump it,lots of pucker their.It actually use to be worse when that top ledge stuck out further.excellent job for all that has made it wich is just a hand full.
