I had a great time along with my son and father. The 931 worked good. There were a lot of good comments from jeepers we would come across, all gave us the thumbs up or a waive, though they were quick to pull over. The best was when I told one guy there were 20 more trucks behind me, he said, "No problem I'll just push them out of the way."

Had a great time again, always a blast at Rausch Creek. The weather was good, we were able to have a campfire this time, and noone's truck got seriously damaged. One gent had to go to the hospital for an injury sustained while wrenching in the parking lot, but after a short hospital visit he returned and he'll be fine in a little bit. A really good turnout of vehicles this time - at lunch on Saturday there were 16 military truck with us, and about 4 smaller civvy vehicles. That did not count a few MVs that were left back in camp for the day.

Well, as far as big trucks go, we have had the following offroad at RC before: stock deuce, M109 shop van, M35 with S-280 shelter, M36 with shipping container, M819 wrecker crane, M816 wrecker, bobbed deuce, 5-ton cargo.

We still need the following to join us offroading there: tanker truck, pipeline deuce, dump truck, gun truck, shop equipment truck (gullwing), anything else? :)

To add to the list of needed trail vehicles it would be entertaining to contact Rausch Creek and ask them "What their policy was for tracked vehicles".......... I think that would be a conversation worth having.

I would have to put that in my "after winning the lottery" pile of to-do's for sure.

A tracked vehicle on rocky ground will throw a track in short order. Rausch Creek and tracked vehicles, even if RC staff say okay, isn't a good combination. If this were Haspin or GA rally, where there aren't many rocks, I'd say otherwise. But I really don't think someone with a $100K tracked vehicle is going to be alright with replacing a thrown track down around Lake Christy.

Now, if they want to show it off in the parking lot, that might be pretty cool!

How about boxman 10,000. That's the BTU's the heater was putting out when it was 25 deg. out side and 75 deg. inside. Ha Ha.
