So what is the time frame for this. The meet time is 11am.

I have to work at 3pm in Norton, still trying to get it off so I don't have to worry about time. But I'm gonna throw my work clothes in the JK just in case (plus I took the 2 days before it off for a little vacation and the Sunday for the Pats game. No sense working just ONE day).. A friend of mine wants to come along too, he also has to work at 3. We'd both love to come though.

Any more info you can provide? Looking forward to it.

If you have a GPS or a map, then you can bail out at multiple locations along the trail ride.

Mostly mud holes that can be avoided but if you choose to give it a try and get stuck, you will need receovery points to pull you out. The more water there is, the easier it is to get stuck. And it smells nasty!!!
Ok cool, I do have a winch. So if I can make this I can get out. And I do have recovery points.

Meet & Greet Planned!


Where: "local" Resturant: Davenports East Providence, RI.
When: Tuesday 11/29/2011 - 7:30 PM
They have offered us thier large room in the East Providence location. It is very easy to get to just off of 195. The idea behind doing this on a Tuesday night is they have an awsome special on Mon and Tue night.
http://www.davenportsri.com/mon_tues_value_meals.php
Meals are $10-$18 per person. Each one includes soup or salad, entre, desert (awsome Cakes and pies), and a beverage (beer included). It is more food than one person should be able to eat in one sitting.
I would also like to open this invite the others that are attending the "Toy Run" to join us.
Please respond with attendence so I can plan with the resturant
Thank you

I wish it were so. I get to go out maximum of one time a month with my club. The exception this time is that I was going to Vermont because my buddy has a hunting lodge on 300 acres where every year our college buddies and friends meet the weekend before Thanksgiving (for the last 20 years). It's a weekend of drinking and shooting and hunting and wheeling. 30-40 guys, limitless booze, a little porn, too much food to eat, ATVs, skeet shooting, deer hunting, Jeeps, wheeling, miles of muddy trails, no cell service, total freedom for one short burst of time. It's almost spiritual, getting together with them. We have buddies in the military who bring their friends, too. If you can get away for a few days next year, I'd be glad to bring you up Matt. I mentioned it to Jae too. Friends old and new getting together. Really, it's a unique and exceptional time.
