Lets plan a wheeling trip, the caveat being that it must be anywhere but the Badlands. Discuss.

That's it. Some people say Dugger or Linton Indiana as well. Been there once, but I know others on the board have gone more often.

Hey Mark ... where have you been?

I was fishing for an impromptu local trip where I wouldn't feel like I was missing out by not bringing a Jeep. I'm not going all the way down to Hot Springs unless I have something to flog. That's why I'm so excited about Sweatfest, I should have my real toy ready by then.

So, everyone else... how does April 23/24 at Redbird sound?

Sounds fun to me but i have to ask, im new to the XJ thing just started building my rig after reading through here sound like the Badlands is not everyones favorite place. Now since ive never been there and i'm planning to go in june with a group from Plymouth In is there something im missing about it cause thats all i here about is Attica is great got to go but when i ask about Redbird or Haspin no one here seems to have been there jsut curious.

What you are reading here is not that Attica is a bad place. Most here have been there so many times, they are looking for other places to go and new challenges. Go there ... you will enjoy yourself.

Ever heard the expression "Variety is the spice of Life" ... that is really what is being said IMO.

Consider the weekend of 5/7 set. Anyone know about camping in the area? Fire & beer are a must, running water a distant 3rd.

I plan on showing up. I was trying to get the YJ fixed so my brother could bring it, but it is turning into a real PITA. It went from replacing a few wires to putting in a whole new wiring harness. :mad:
