Thinking about showing up for tomorrows run, what do I need to bring other than my jeep? Anyone have an address or coordinates I can plug in to find it?

I am coming... Will probably be there earlier than 10:00 and leave a bit earlier too... Looking forward to meeting/seeing some of you.

Woolf - do a quick google and you will find the information you need on location. The Mounds is part of the Genesse County Park system... They have maps etc. at their website.

The above photo is one of our gang stuck but good!



The above photo is one of some of the other wheelers out yesturday at the mounds.... The ice hid a lot of deep water... This became a three vehicle train to get them all unstuck.

It was a fun day at the mounds. I took my daughter with me, here second time wheeling with dad. We tried a hill climb which became a 180 degree down hill slide... Just glad there were no trees . We met some folks from What Lies Beyond Jeep Club (good guys with a nice YJ).

Yup... that was me. It looked like a simple dip until the ice broke and I droppead about two and a half feet through the ice. They couldn't strap me out when I finally got winched out, a 24"x18"X6" piece of ice took part of my fender flare with it. Dented the body a bit and broke three clips on the flare.
