Where are the pictures from the last trip? I'm looking forward to meeting everyone! I have a few guys from my club that will be coming...I'm looking at heading down Saturday morning really early from the Fort Wayne area to try to be at the Badlands around 8am or 9am. Does anyone want to caravan down? I'm debating heading down late Friday night and sleeping in the JEEP but the wife is not thrilled with that!

Looks like we'll be there. Probably camp Friday and Saturday nights.

I'm gone from this weekend until August 2 with very limited access to the internet. So if there are any big changes or anything, someone please emal me at emt.micah AT gmail.com.

Duane, we should hook up that week prior. I want to cut down my fenders like you and Doug did.

The Rubi high-centered on both occasions (err...at least on one)...couldn't move backwards or forwards (mods weighed down the rubi a bit, should have looked into a lift sooner . ). I winched out on both .

^ x1. One of the high-centered place I was stuck on had two mounds on either sides and couldn't open any of the four doors . Again, thanks for the winch out from everyone in our group .

Ouch...on high-centering 7 times Scott.

That was right by the rock garden on the green trail. At least we got to try out the powerplant. Are you coming in Aug, Manny?
