Meet and Greet/Get together

[xjman88]

Hey guys,
I am trying this again. I want to have another meet and greet next Saturday on 16 Sept. Please try to make it. I want to talk about a run or two this fall, a couple of snow runs this winter and also see what interest there is for helping out at Spruce Mountain cutting trails. Please post up and let me know if you can make it. I want to meet up at Home Depot in Augusta again and possibly move to a park so those with little kids can play while us big kids discuss stuff and talk shop. Take care and keep the rubber side down.

Later,
Matt

Chris,
I got mine at an auto parts store in Colorado called Checkers. I have seen them at VIP around here. You can also go to their website. Go to Google and look up DV Innovations out of Denver. I think you can order it directly from them. I hope this helps you out buddy. I don't see a problem changing it to Sunday. I will let you know.

It is changed to Sunday the 17th at 12:00 noon so that more people can attend. If any issues, post up and let me know please.
Thanks,
Matt

Hey all,
My family and I ran up to Moxie Falls and then to Moxie Lake today which is up 201 north. I scouted out a bunch of trails in the area. Had the wife's van so we did not go on any of them but looked at them from the road. Looks promising for a future trip or two. Also found alot of places to camp up there too. We will talk about this at the meeting next Sunday. It is about 1 1/2 hours up there from Sidney/Waterville doing 60.

i think i gotta work

[paddlerdan]

Sent PM I hope to make it, Matt. Also I have a Map ( not the Delorme) that Indicates Logging AND "jeep Trails" Their words. You guys might like to look at. It does cover the Moxie Lake area And More. I'l bring it along.
Happy Trails, Dan.
ps: good idea about the park!!!

[swany]

hey, paddlerdan if i cant make it let me know where i can get one of those maps.

[paddlerdan]

For anyone who wants their own copy, you can get them from Plum Creek Timber company, they have an office in Bingham, and if I remember what the man in the office said, one in Fairfield, but I'd say just call and ask if they would mail you one. The maps are free and they make their lands public use available, so they shouldn't have any problem.
Happy Trails!

[xjman88]

I am hoping everyone is still planning to attend tomorrow that has posted up on here.

[98XJSport]

Crap now I can't make it. Family obligations. And fishing. Sucks, I really wanted to make this one. But I will be checking out some of the trails around my parent's house to see if they are still open. I know of a nice little pond that you can wheel to, fish, and camp at. But its probably to late in the year for that.

Hope there is a good attendance, and everyone has fun. And most importantly plan for the next one and keep us all posted. Seems to be a good sized group of us up around here, should be able to make something happen.

Edit: Wow talk about timing, xjman88

[98XJSport]

Ok now Im back in, dad doesn't need my help until later afternoon.

Edit: Im also gonna throw in my work laptop its got a decent delorme mapping software on it we can check out if we want.

[XJBeater]

Wish I wasnt working. I hope alot of people show for you guys.

[swany]

i wish i made it but how did it go?

[swany]

[98XJSport]

We had 3 XJs and 5 adults show. Good group, look forward to getting offroad with you guys.

[xjman88]

Thanks to everyone who showed up. It was nice meeting y'all and just talking shop. If anyone is interested, I am trying to go run/scout some trails this weekend. I am thinking about on Sunday. If anyone wants to go, post up and let me know. Talk to you all later.

Hey Matt,
I'm taking sunday off.
So lets do it!
I'm thinking I can meet you guys coming from the south of me at the Jeep dealer on Hwy 201 in Skowhegan. Its about 5mins away from me.
Believe it or not the only thing I have ever bought from the dealer is a hat!
Happy Trails, Dan.

I might be in for the Sunday scouting trip depending on the time schedule...keep me posted and I will let you know for sure one way or the other...

[swany]

i might be in also depends on the weather. we are supposed to go apple picking for my daughter. will probably come down to the last min. what time is every one meeting?

[paddlerdan]

Matt,
I just got home from work and sad to say but I gotta work tomorrow after all.
Lets try it again next sunday as I'm darn sure I wont be asked two sundays in a row to work!
Happy Trails, Dan

[xjman88]

I won't be able to go wheeling tomorrow after all. I haven't had any luck finding a good front driveshaft around here. I have a buddy in Montana with one that is good so I will be waiting to have it shipped to me this week. I am hoping to be back up for next weekend though. I will post up and let everyone know. Take care all.
Later,
Matt
