March 27th

[Jeff]

Scotty B and I had a short talk this evening about a ride. March 13th, Sand Mines at Rural Blue. Anyone interested?

[ivbeenrokd]

We need to get dad's XJ out there, hopefully it will be ready by then.

Brandon's Jeep needs some more testing too.

[ScottyB]

cool, ben's new cherokee will be on its first ride also

[XjCrazy]

Can't go the 13th Scott. Can we push it forward a week. Like this weekend coming up?

[Jeff]

I've got 13th and 27th open or I'd defiantly go this weekend.

[Undertaker]

I'm out on the 13th.....be at an all day meeting downtown; I'd much rather be on the trail any day than in an 8 1/2 hr. meeting

[ScottyB]

well, what about the 27th then? it looks as if that would work better for everyone

[Jeff]

I'm good with the 27th as mentioned above, and would prefer if it will allow others to attend.

[ScottyB]

yea it will take longer than expected to complete ben's jeep transformation

[Jeff]

Should have it done with the extra two weeks? lets just go ahead and make it the 27th then.

However, if anyone is interested in Windrock Saturday the 13th just as a side note..

[rredalty]

Perfect shakedown run for mine and another we've been working on. Going to try like hell to make this.

[XjCrazy]

I'm good for the 27th as well Scoot.

[Undertaker]

Count me in, too.....of course, I'll have to confirm w/ my pit crew as well. Less than 2 months to Moab...

[ivbeenrokd]

So is anybody still planning on going this Saturday the 13th?

[ScottyB]

i dont think so

[Jeff]

Anyone able to meet me at the exit and allow me to follow them to the trail head? I just need to know what exit so I can arrange to get to it early.

[ivbeenrokd]

75 north exit 134, turn left, meet at the Shoney's.

[Jeff]

Thanks, about what time will you all be meeting up?

[ivbeenrokd]

I would think 9:00 would work if that's fine for everyone else?

[ScottyB]

sounds fine to me

[Jeff]

Awesome

[rredalty]

Would 9:45 be too late for everyone. I'll be hauling from west Knox and can't leave the house until 8:45 at the earliest.

[Jeff]

10am would be pretty awesome to meet up, if thats not when everyone plans to leave. If I recall correctly, it doesn't take all that long to run the trail.

[ScottyB]

9:45 will work for me, if it means more people are gona go

the trail all depends on the weather, will take at least 4 hours prob.

[rredalty]

so meet/ eat at shoneys off exit 134 at 9:45?

[ivbeenrokd]

I'm okay to plan to pull out at 9:45 from Shoney's but planning to meet at Shoney's to eat at 9:45 is getting a little late for me. How about we plan to be airing down at the trail head at 9:45 and running the trail by 10:00.! ??

[rredalty]

Count me out, won't be able to swing that. Don't want to be rushed and drive stupid to get there and have time to enjoy a hot meal.

[Jeff]

Even if we start at 11, shouldn't we be out of the woods well before 5pm? I remember it being somewhat of a short ride.

[XjCrazy]

You guys can go to the Shoney's if you want to...but I am going to be going to the new Amber Restaurant at the Raccoon Valley Exit at 8:30. Anyone who wants to join us there is more than welcome.

[ivbeenrokd]

Even if we start at 11, shouldn't we be out of the woods well before 5pm? I remember it being somewhat of a short ride.

I've been through that trail in 4-5 hours but I've also done it in 10 hours before too.

Let's meet at the trail head to air down at 9:45, start the trail at 10:00 and if everyone's not there by then it will be easy to catch up by the 1st hill climb since we'll likely get slowed down there anyway. Here's my list:

Charlie (my dad driving Jason's old Jeep)
Jacob (buddy I go to church with driving my old Jeep)
Jeff
Scott
Ryan
Tyler
rredalty - catch us at the 1st hill??
