[xj8_8]

Me and some friends are going to be there Sat, camping and wheeling Sun also. If you camp in the park you dont have to pay again Sunday.

Good deal, glad you can make it.

Sounds like it's $10 per day, according to Rick (littlered). He posted over on SIJA and explained it.

[xj8_8]

They must have changed it. Ive been to 4 night runs and didnt have to pay for Sun. Not a problem,its still worth it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Can bikes and quads run the same trails as jeeps at redbird? My jeep is gonna be torn down for a little while.

Yes bikes and quads can run the Jeep trails. But Jeeps cant run all the bike and quad trails.

[87manche]

I'll likely be taking off friday afternoon, driving down there and arriving late friday night.
I'm camping in the bed of the MJ, winterfest style.
Don't know if Rocky's coming or not.

I may do the same. Throw me a PM, I'll give you my #. We can meet up, and caravan down together.

[scoobyxj]

I think I'm going to needto shotgun. My rock rails don't fit like there supposed to, and won't attact to the pinch seam with out some modification. I won't have time to do it, and I don't really want to wheel it like that. I'm offering to be someones picture bitch/spotter for a front seat.

[87manche]

well, I'm likely out or I'd offer up my right seat.
Don't know if I'm going to get my d30 rebuilt before Friday. Gonna tear it apart tonight. I've got the replacement bearings and shims. Hope to get it together tomorrow.

[BRIANHO13]

I have an open seat or I should, depends if I get everything fixed from last weekend.

[BRIANHO13]

What time is everyone showing tomorrow, I am looking at 7:30-8 at green-sulivan?

[HaleYes]

No camping for me. I'm planning on being there when the gates open Saturday morning at 9.

[87manche]

d30 still not together, I got it torn down last night and I'm just not gonna try and set it up in the truck. Sat I'm going to pull the front and do gears on the bench

[Lawn Cher']

Some time around there for me as well. Maybe earlier or later though, who knows.

[scoobyxj]

Friday? AM, or PM? I still may go Friday evening if there will be others camping. I'm going to get stuff packed up, then see if I can get those rails to fit right so I can wheel it. Take a nap then head out. Mark I'm going to get your phone number from bShaw if you don't mind (or if you see this PM it to me) so if I loose my way I'll have some to contact for help.

good luck with cell service in Dugger. I remember bshaw standin on the roof of his truck trying to get a cell signal to find the campground :)

[HaleYes]

It's a little "iffy" weather or not I'll make it now. Sick youngn' is not improving like she should after her antibiotics. She's not feeling good at all. Back to the Dr's office again today it looks like.

[BRIANHO13]

My cell works at the campground:moon:
pm me if you don't yet have my number.

[Lawn Cher']

Brian and I will be heading out early Saturday morning and may camp Saturday night... the weather is supposed to suck Friday night and I haven't spent enough time with my wife this week, or so she tells me.

[BRIANHO13]

So I need to know today (b4 5) if anyone else is camping.

[scoobyxj]

I'm planning on camping, but I still need to know if there is going to be anyone staying tonight (Friday). If there is I will come over tonight. Shooting for getting there between 8/9PM. I would like for earlier, but I need to get some sleep before I attempt a 6 hour drive, and I worked last night. Planning on getting up around 2PM, and it'll be 11:30AM before I get to lay down.

[HaleYes]

Weather does not look too good.

[BRIANHO13]

Well just heard from Travis (scooby) looks like he won't be making it tonight so I won't be camping there tonight. See you all in the morning.

[BRIANHO13]

fug it, im out. No sense in driving to redbird to experience nasty trails. I am going to try out this brand new offroad park about an hour from the ville.

You guys have a good time and try to keep your windows out of the trees.
I will let you know about this other place.

[xj8_8]

Is anyone going to be there in the morning,I need a head count

[Lawn Cher']

I'll be there toting my buddy's silver TJ.

[HaleYes]

As of now....

I'll be there.
*fingers crossed*


Hale


EDIT: I think there will be a couple maybe 3 (I think TJ's) that would like to wheel with our group from SIJA.

[xj8_8]

Cool, I will have a Sammy and maybe a Yota with me in the morning and another Sammy, TJs and an XJ to show about 1:00.

[Prepmech]

I'm still in, but wondering if it is a good idea. The kid I'm bringing is gonna be wheeling his DD, and I'm worried about the mud making it too slick. Is anyone going to be wheeling the wussy stuff?

[3jeeps]

There is also a nite ride going on this weekend. $10 sat $10 sun wheel all nite and camp on property. Check redbird's website for more details Mike

If it makes you feel any better,

I'm looks like it is going to be sloppy.

Looks like Dugger is going to get some rain. Going to try to get my rails fixed tonight, and I'll run the wheenie stuff, and hang out for Sunday.

[HaleYes]

I did make it home.
Very tired.
Off to bed.
Pics later.
Good time was had by .....well......almost all involved.

We'll see what the insurance lady has to say Monday morning.:gag:

[BRIANHO13]

how nasty was it, I burried mine to the bumper where I went.

[Prepmech]

Just got home too.

It was pretty slick.

I still can't figure out how we managed to get the WJ through without any incidents. Thanks to everyone who helped out!

I ate fried chicken for lunch, and figured out that I need to go on a diet because apparently I weigh so much that Scooby's rig can't make it up hills with me in it.

Redbird mud smells like poo.

Thanks everyone for a great time!

[bshaw]

details, details! any pics?

[scoobyxj]

details, details! any pics? Yea we got pics, but they're on the Redbird Trip Attendees Only Allowed to View page. Sense you weenied out. Tough SHT! :D

I think it was just that my XJ knew your XJ wasn't blue.

[Dirk Pitt]

Spill it, wiener!

[HaleYes]

Oh,

The insurance lady is having a customer appreciation day and I'm curious as to what's on the menu. Sorry if I was misleading. :D

I did have a "high pucker factor" moment. And of course, noone got pics, as far as I know. I think I was stuck on that damn hill for at least 30-45 minutes. I did get a short video of Brain, Marks friend, in pretty much the same predicament. (Yes, Mark does have friends.) As far as I know, the only carnage I got was the drivers side front fender. Just a little sheet metal relocation, that's all. Door now hits fender.

I did learn that a Jew with a butane torch and an aluminum fender eats good, and fried chicken is a staple of some peoples diets.

Pics/vids are still on the camera. I was forced to the Lou today Xmas shopping with the wyfe, just got home. Reagahn is 100% better, she spent the day at home with MawMaw.


Thanks to the guys who showed up.
To the ones who didn't: You missed out on a good time.

:cheers:

Thanks for a great time guys! Brian and I both appreciated a fun weekend with great people where we didn't have to fix anything... it had been awhile since a trail-fix-free trip for either of us.
