Still planning this out. Let me know if you're interested and what your date restrictions are if any.

The trip will be a week long run at least.

Thinking of the key hard core trails like the Rubicon, Fordyce, Dusy Ersham.

This won't be an easy trip like my Mojave Trail trips.

This isn't a bash your ride trip. I'm not one who likes those but you should expect a greater potential of having body damage. We'll try to avoid it of course but its sometimes unavoidable so you should expect the worst and work for the best.<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />

Extra Ground Clearance, Armor, & Lockers and/or good articulation will be a must. Having a winch is recommended but not required. You should at least have a strap and d-rings.

For the old timers, I'm sure I'll get Carlos & Joanna to go. Probably Dat. Not sure who else is brave/crazy enough to go. I don't expect us to have more than 5 rigs. There simply aren't enough crazy wire members around here. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

That's fine. The purpose right now is to get folks to think about setting aside some time during the summer for this run and if there are restrictions/limitations to what they can do, allow them to provide some feedback to my planning. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Ray,

Summer is Goat Show season and (if all is well) the busy time for work. I will offer yard and tool services, along with parts running, if the group decides to 'run in my area. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for that offer Russell. With the trails we're doing we may certainly be contacting you. Possibly via 2M relay.

Richard, would be great to have you there. I'm sure you'll get Suzi up and running by then.

LOL, well of course I expected a yes from you just like Carlos.

Now I've given some warning about the difficulty you can expect on this run. It will be challenging, possibly damage prone, and definitely an experience rewarding trip.

Still working out the trails and will post more as I decide. If you have some trails in the context that I'm describing that you'd like to run, please let me know. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I'll get those down on here, including some descriptions (both pro's and con's hopefully) and I can get some feedback from you all. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
