FYI... there is an open to the public trail ride on Saturday the 13th in southwestern, NH. It's a Poker Run to benifit the food pantry. Each Jeep brings a couple of canned goods and 20 for the poker run. 50% of the pot goes to the winning poker hand at the end of the day. It's a good time with good people. I'll be there with some guys from my clubs.

This event is put on by the NEA and is the only event open to the public. It is run twice a year. Spring and Fall.

I was on OFR 3 weekends ago with my club. I made it through the entire trail open open in my 4-door except I had to winch up the first ledge (almost made it, so close!). It's definitely a tough but fun trail. True on no go-arounds so be prepared to crawl or winch up the two main big obstacles.

The first time I ran that trail there was no big pile of rocks at the base of the first ledge. I made it open front locked rear with a little bump.... Ok.... a little more than a little bump. I broke the front d-30 for the first time just before the second ledge. Our club run next summer is due to have about 6 or 7 JK's in the line-up

LOL!! Tex runs 37's so those put more pressure on the d-30. While I don't know for sure if he did what he normally does but he tends to take the more "challenging" lines! In fact, that's why he is now doing this

Is this trip still on for Sunday? (11/7) If so, does anyone want to meet up and convoy over there?
