Hey T4R,
My apologies for not getting this thread going sooner, meant to post this before leaving town for the week. I’ll update this post when I get back with more detail, but for now, we’ll do the trip Dec 19-20. Unfortunately, the weekend between Christmas and New Year’s doesn’t really exist this year.
This year
@
carlos.elmotor
can’t head up the trip, so I’ll be stepping in... this trip is special to me because it was the first time I took my truck off-road and got hooked, so I’d like to keep it going.
Truck/Driver requirements
As an “open” trip we try to find a balance that’s interesting enough for experienced drivers, but not so challenging that newer people will seriously damage their rigs or have a bad time. It'll be a relatively stock friendly trip, there's a few sections that lift and tires would be beneficial, or line choice will be more critical.
We're all here to get out and have fun, so good attitudes and helping out when someone needs a hand is, well, normal.
Let's keep things off Insta, FB and the like... instead, if you have friends that want to come, send them here to sign up. (limited to 10 trucks)
Comms
[Updated Channels]
Amateur radio:
Primary: Simplex 146.58 MHz
Secondary: Simplex 147.48 MHz
If you don't have an amateur radio or license, bring along a GMRS or FRS radio and we should be able to get things working... or risk not being able to tell the group you need to stop to take a leak :-)
General Location
I'm pretty short on time this year to scout and plan an entirely new route but have a handful of forest service roads and backroads I've explored over the last year and have put together a route going from Wardensville south on Saturday. To get some interesting "technical" trails in, Sunday we'll do the Dunkle Hollow/Union Springs trail (to change it up from last year, we'll run it in reverse).
Tagging....
