I'm one for stopping when needed. I've found that some things that I'm not finding to be obsticles become major hurdles for some of the smaller Jeeps. So I understand.

Is anyone else bringning thier kids, wife, girlfriend, etc.?

Default I'm out

I hate to say this folks, but I'm not gonna be able to make this run
There's nothing wrong, it's just that I had some unexpected changes durring
this past week and because of it my plans didn't really come together the way
I needed them to, in order for me to be able to spend a day on the trail.

oh bummer man, we'll hope to see you at the next one.



as for the stop and go issues, i felt like we did more of that back during the April run, july i only remember stopping at the first "technical" spot, the water crossing and the mud pit and then once we got up to the top. i do feel what your saying though. keep in mind we had close to like 15 rigs on the past two runs. idk just my .02

hey, you can disconnet at friendlys top speed limit is less than 45 and its about a 10 min drive give or take depending with traffic, also this trail has some definate stopping points that will be clearly visible when the time comes around to stopping other than that quite narrow like i said before. 10AM is fine do i still have a ride?

as stated above there are maybe 2 or 3 certain stopping points. The rest is a narrow fairly simple trail unless someone gets stuck in the mud. I'm still in for sunday and I've got my video camera. I covered last weekend so i should be free this weekend.

yeah man u can still ride with me. i may or may not have a buddy of mine with us as well. and tyler (yellow FJ) is still thinking about going but its looking like he wont be able to make this one, hes gotta head back to U Maine.

also, shadow do u want me to pick you up in westfield or are you still going to meet at friendlys and just park it there untill we are done with the trail?

I will probably have my buddy with me so he can run out and man the camera while we're driving. Let's get an updated list that's going and maybe get a PM of #'s incase someone is running late we can call them so we don't wait endlessly for someone.
