Do we have a meet or offroad trip coming up?
Nothing scheduled at this time.
Any suggestions, thoughts, dates/locations to consider?

I think the next "event" here in San Angelo that I'd be rolling the Deuce to will be the 9-11 Remembrances that are typically held here, followed by any Veterans Day events in November. We also do a Veterans Day Parade on one of the Saturdays nearest the 11/11 day.

As for off-roading, not many public venues left around here. Only private ranchland possibilities.
The San Angelo State Park has no trails that accommodate these trucks.
The public lands around the Twin Buttes Reservoir have been generally off-limits to off roaders due to "abuse" of privileges: dumping, substance abuse, recklessness, and overall stupidity.

Thoughts???

Out here we have an offroad park in Stanton but most of the trails are too small, designed for 4 wheelers/dirt bikes. Got spoiled while I was stationed in Utah, legal offroad trails EVERYWHERE with varying difficulty and length.

When we get a 4 day weekend we could meet at Big Bend. Scenic routes there that are not difficult. That's a remote trip.

There is a gathering at Elephant Butte lake coming up that is listed in the upcoming events section. Lots of beach and hills there for our trucks.
