Well Guys and Gals, it's time to get ready for the annual camping trip at The Cove! Can you believe this will be 5 years in a row?!
For those that have never been before, this trip is a great opportunity to meet some fellow forum enthusiasts, and the ability to take your 4Runner off the beaten path for a weekend of fun!
The Cove offers everything from gravel access roads to mud pits to hard core rock crawling!
You will enjoy rustic camping (no water or electricity at the campsight, only a spot-a-pot, picnic table and fire ring), fishing, shooting at a new improved range, exploring and awesome conversations at the campfire at night.
We are extremely fortunate that the great staff at The Cove opens their trail network up to us for this event! They have very specific rules that only allow trail riding for large events (we are not a large event for them), and we have earned their trust and approval.
It would be great to get a big crowd together this year!
I may not be staying through to Monday but hoping for at least Friday through to Saturday if not Sunday. I'll know more as the time gets closer. Or make a decision whenever you need a firm head count.
Don't have a tent or anything so hopefully sleeping in the back of the 4Runner is not frowned upon.
Let me know what to bring and how else to contribute!
Looking forward to meeting with "The Cove's Camping Trip" legendary veterans!

@Antman
count in Doug and I. I'm pretty sure
@OneGreenTaco
will be interested too, but I'll wait to hear from them.
WOOT!
Five years! That's awesome. Sorry I missed the first two... but trying to keep going from here out. Maybe I can squeeze in a mod or two between the time puppies go home and the time this happens.

Great! Can you post some of the great pictures you took last year?
My pictures are, well...you know... they pretty much BLOW.

Get yourself the Truck Bedz air mattress with wheel well cutouts... myself and my 6'2" hubby slept comfortably in the truck last fall. Just let a bit of air out of the mattress and close the hatch. Crawl in through one of the rear passenger doors. It's super cozy.
Put me down as a maybe lol. Wife is interviewing as I type this in Grand Junction Colorado. If for some reason she turns it down I'll be making the trek from Missouri.

Edit: change in status- I have to look my class schedule, and we're gonna try to swing it.

* We should be in the same area as the last three years; Campsite#2- sections 24,25,26,27,28 and 29. (We basically took over the entire Southwest section of Camp#2) I won't be able to get things squared away for a few weeks (per The Cove Staff)
