I thought it was usually the 3rd weekend? Well, I guess I might be able to do the 27th. I had a great time at the past 2 I went to. Looks like Im missing both this year. Take lots of pics for those of us who cant make it and be safe.

I went to Haspin today and they have groomed a few trails and cut in a new trail by our loop trail at the back of the fire trail. They have put in new large stair steps (about 3 to 4 ft. steps)in the loop where we would always stop to BS before climbing the hill that leads back up to the fire trail.

So will we be able to navigate the fire trail? Did they cut the stairs where the trail splits or a different area. Thanks for the report. BTW did you mention to them that we are looking at the 26,27 to come out there.

Haspin steps
Sparky this is the steps I was talking about. I think you will be able to tell from the video where I'm talking about.

At the end of the main fire trail where it splits and we drive straight ahead to start the loop there were two paths to the left that went down and were steep with usually very large erosion ruts in them. That's were they bladed it about half way down and then cut a new path all the way down to the bottom of the new steps. They also cut in what I think was used for hill climb or something between that new path and our exit point of the loop but it's more extreme than we wanted to tackle.

This is the thread for the get together. What would you like to know about the get together. It is not an official rally but is still a good time.

Maybe 8 to 12 trucks for this one.
Everyone pitches a tent or I sleep in my M105a2 trailer or if you have a camping trailer. (No hook ups primitive only)
Lots of trail riding and BS around the fire and some parts swapping or selling.
We have a really good time and everyone gets along great.
You can pretty much run anything you can think of but must wear a helmet for Motorcycle and quads.
I hope you can make it in Sept.

Like Djones said, trail riding, looking at each others trucks, recoveries and hanging by the camp fire. I usually have a gen set on site to power camp and the shelter. My group of friends just pitch tents and we have the shelter to get out of the sun. I will post a link to the multi media thread from june.

There is always room in a deuce or 5 ton if you don't want to drive your truck in the woods.

I have purchased a 4" BDS lift with the rear springs. No blocks. Looking at tire and wheel options. Found a gentleman from Trail Worthy Fab that will recenter, paint and put on the HMMWV radial tires for about what it would cost me to buy all after market......and they will fit with a slight trim at the base of the fenders. I don't want to completely thrash it, but I am not afraid to get her dirty! Have been to Badlands and it did pretty well for a stock truck.

Looking like there should be a good turnout of Daves at least.
