Rausch Creek Guided Trail Ride

When: Sunday, February 15th, 2004

Where: Rausch Creek Off-Road Park (directions found here: www.rauschcreekoffroadpark.org) Sign in is at the RC Staging area, NOT the MX park.

What: Guided trail rides at all levels. No need to have three or more vehicles, or a club to come out on this date. Bring yourself and your lunch and hit the trails. You will be placed into groups according to your driver ability and vehicle configuration and you will be out on the trails.

Who: This ride is limited to the first 100 registered people, so if you don't register, you may not get a spot if you show up. If you need to back out, let us know so we can make sure someone else gets in. We are asking that everyone reregisters here: http://www.gprecon.com/signup.asp?ID...0&mode=process

Time: Sign in is from 7:30 to 8:30. Driver meeting at 8:45, and you will hit the trails upon completion of driver meeting.

All levels of trails will have groups, from stockers to insane.

Ride will wrap up around dusk.

i signed up. anyone else going with a buggy/truggy?

[convertiyota]

I'm thinking about it. Can't commit yet, though.

[mark99tj]

Thanks Evans for the push up. Lowtorious, thanks for signing up.

Sean-- you have your yota rear steer working yet? You should be able to tackle challenge rock again with better results this time. Gavin may have his junk together by then too-- his rig is looking sick. We have another ridge line with extrememe lines for you to try next time you are up. I still have to blow some more trees out, but I may do that new years day.

[Oxjockey]

Do we have to be members of the park or anything? Cost at registration?

Thanks,
Bryan

[CJ Lagos]

This sounds fun!

[mark99tj]

Due to our insurance and zoning regulations, everyone must be members of Rausch Creek to wheel. It is $10 a year, good for 365 days from when you pay (and anyone over 16 must join). It is $25 a day to wheel. For riders, the day they pay their membership, they pay no more that day. So, if just you and the rig, $35 the first day, $25 every day after that. If you and a rider, $45 day one, $30 every day after that.


Let me know if you have any questions!

[convertiyota]

Mark,
The rear steer's getting close. Just a couple more weeks of work. As long as everything's together this can be the shakedown run. I'm looking forward to seeing that new stuff.

[CJ Lagos]

Mark,

Since I already have a membership, will it cost anything extra? If not I think I'm in. Do we still have to pay per day for this event?

[mark99tj]

CJ-- Once you have membership, it is $25 to wheel. Guided ride or not, the costs are all the same for everyone (did you finally use up all the Camp Jeep passes??).

Sean-- Bring your rig up. John Boring and Eugene Rose let me take them through the new stuff, with 6 inches of snow. I didn't let them roll, but there was some pucker...... I still gotta get more trees out of there though. They are just gettin in the way. We are eyeing some other areas up for some special stuff down the road. We have enough stuff to keep people happy for a while yet, it is just dependant upon us gettin the trees out of the way.

[Lowtorious]

If we can get a total of 3 drivers to commit, Mark said over on the MD Creepers board that we can ride both Saturday and Sunday. Count me in! Anyone else!?

If you'd like to ride Saturday, please update the talley in your post.

Saturday ride:
1. Lowtorious - Andy Statland
2. xx - xx
3. xx - xx

Thanks Mark, you da man.

[mark99tj]

No problem. Just so you know, you will have to pay for both days.... But if you want to camp, that is free. On Saturday, you are on your own for trail selections. On Sunday, you will have to jump in a group.

If you have any questions, let me know.

[Lowtorious]

Understood Mark.
No one wants to wheel both days!?
Come awwwwn.

[Jeepin_Jeffster]

Andy- We've got a group of 3 or 4 vehicles heading up from NC on friday. We plan on wheeling Sat and Sun. If nothing better comes along, you are welcome to wheel with us (www.nckrawlers.com), but most of our rigs are just slightly better than stock. (35's and 33's, all lifted, some locked, some not).

Jeff

[Lowtorious]

Thanks for the offer Jeff, I might take you up on it!

Mark, I'm still not clear on the costs for this weekend. I"m sorry if I skipped over something obvious regarding the fees but please tell me the over all cost for this weekend with the following:

Driver - not a RC member
Passenger - not a RC member
1 vehicle
Wheeling both Saturday and Sunday
Camping Friday and Saturday night

If I read what you stated above correctly, it will cost my passenger and I $70 total, right!?

Also, Jeepin_Jeffster, you guys are still coming up from NC, right?

Thanks!

[Bert]

Sorry MARK

But the TJ is still on jack stands in my backyard covered with snow.

Rear axle is in my garage, ARB is on the Bench, Gears are being shipped.

Gas tank is sittin next to jeep under snow.

Fuel lines need to get lengthened.

Bla Bla Bla Waiting for a "NO SNOW" condition to finish her up.

then.... ITS AWWWN.

Hey if your intrested,,, Colorado from June24- july 5

Tow rig a must! We will be towing Broken stuff home!

[coilcj]

Lowtorious, Hopefully I can clear it up for you, you were close at 07, it will be 75.
Passenger, must pay $10 yearly membership wich includes 1 day wheeling, then $5 for second day making total for passenger $15.
Driver must join $10 yearly plus $25 per day for the rig, making the driver/rig combo $60. Hope that clears it all up for you, should be a great weekend with some new terrain, providing Mother nature keeps the snow off the rocks, if not there will still be plenty of fun to be had!

[Lowtorious]

What time do you folks with modified vehicles wanna ride Saturday morning...nothing like early morning carnage.

I'll be up there Sunday, provided the weather is cooperating. Don't feel like doing that drive in the snow again any time soon.

[Jeepin_Jeffster]

Lowtorious-

We had to bail. One of the guys flipped his CJ and another has his torn down with a motor overhaul. I'm taking the opportunity to have lockers and gears installed in mine to get ready for the Right Coast Run in Tellico, NC next month.

[Lowtorious]

Let's get some pics up from this weekend. I don't have much to show since group 8 didn't do all that hard trails. I hope the guy in our group in the blue Rubicon got home alright despite his pretzeled tie rod. Damn was it cold though, 17* Sunday morning.
