Trail Run #1:

June 27th - 28th: Badlands (Attica, Indiana)
Saturday will start at 9:00am. I spoke with Kyle at the Badlands and he mentioned if we had enough people pre-registered, he would make an early registration for us to get all of us out and riding. The park closes at 7:00, so we have all day to wheel.

Sunday will start the same (9:00am). The park closes at 5:00 on Sundays, so we have most of the day to wheel and then travel home.

Rates are $20 a day or $30 for a two day pass. $5 for each passenger.
badlandsoffroad.com

Here is a link to the rules of the park:

Trail Run #2:

August 8th - 9th: Badlands (Attica, Indiana)
Same schedule as above^^^^^^

For those of you who have been there, it would be great if you posted some places to stay around the area. They have a campground for those interested that is in front of the park. Kyle also mentioned opening up the private area at an extra cost if that was an interest to anyone. The price would be worked out at a later date depending on interest. He said that would be a guided trail ride which is why the cost is extra.

I would like to get a registration going for each weekend, so let the posting begin. Come one come all. More details will follow.

I've been told to hold my breath, pending a major announcement at work that may affect my summer plans. My wife still holds the keys to the box on the mantle, so plans for either weekend would need to go through her.

Since I'm the closest (22 miles by road), I should probably take some responsibility on coordination and communication. (I'm a reluctant leader, especially when there are others eager to do so.)

There's plenty of room to camp in my pasture.....
....but my wife would kill me.
A bunch of muddy Jeepers traipsing in and around her house would not be on the "OK, honey" list. I still have a bathroom remodel to finish that somehow keeps getting pushed to the back burner. (meaning all bathroom traffic would get diverted upstairs)

I most definitely want to attend, since it is a short trip for me, but there is a risk I might be out of town (WAAAYYYY out of town) on the days of the event. I should have a more firm answer in a few weeks.

No rush. We still have plenty of time. Oh and I was only kidding about the house.

I want to come to one of the I really do but I will be a last minute decide. Will there be a Jeep limit?

Here is a pic of me at Badlands

The badlands is a cool place to drive in circles and get stuck in mud. Even when you dont want to drive in circles. (Dont ask me how I know but I now know how to do trails in MyGig)
