ANF Ride - 3/15/08

[87Rumbler]

Trail ride this Saturday 3/15/08 in ANF.

If you are one of the folks that think "numbered forest roads" offer no challenge you need to make this ride.

Meeting place will be in the vacinity of HWY 267 & Crawfordville HWY, it will be a morning ride.

Exact time and meeting place will follow as soon as it's nailed down.



. . oh, I should probably add that because this will be on numbered forest roads the vehicles must be 'street legal' or risk citation, impoundment, death by 12ga blast, whatever the FS LEOs think most appropriate.:)

[Rebel Zuk]

I have never road the ANF, but it is kind of hard to believe that numbered, supposedly maintained roads require any kind of 4x4 skill....Like I said, all I have to compare it to is our Eglin AFB reservation land which is like riding NF b/c we have to stay on numbered roads and such and 99% of them are all 2 wheel drive friendly and 4x4 is not ever needed.....I have heard several people say the ANF is a great time though. How far is it from Crestview FL? Would it be worth the drive? I am interested fo shizzle.

[87Rumbler]

I can understand that Rebel. But *we picked* these forest roads.

For example:
http://www.canopy.net/truckpix/wallofmud.jpg



6" of lift on 37" tires. Numbered forest road. Please notice that is not a wall of water it is pushing.:eek:

http://www.canopy.net/truckpix/sunk.jpg
Bad Azz (and CUTE!) Sammi. Plenty of lift, big 'ol Swampers. Numbered forest road.

I won't say all the numbered forest roads in ANF are maintained as well as these two. But we are trying to get the FS to do as well on all the roads as they do on these. :cool:


Mapquest.com says it is
Total Estimated Time: 2.0 hours 38 minutes
Total Estimated Distance: 167 miles
from Crestview to Crawfordville. :cool:

[Riverat]

I will be there.

Just let me know when and where.

[TILEMAN]

Damn, I Like To Join You, But My Sheeit Don't Handle Deep Mud Or Deep Water Very Well. Is There Go Arounds, I Would Like To At Least Watch You Swimmers. MAYBE I CAN BREAK IN THE CJ. DON'T HAVE LOCKERS YET AND SPINNING 272'S

[78trouble]

Greg there are go arounds and it's worth going along just to take pics or do some vidieo taping with all this rain it's going to be awsome and i wish my crap was driving and leagal so i can go !!!

[87Rumbler]

I'd be very surprised if we don't have a variety of vehicles show up. Some better suited than others to the environment.

But yea, most of the spots have bypasses. Just whatever you do when Scott says "go that way it's easier!" and points to the right - turn left and floor it.;)

[swamp donkey]

and grayson....that first pic claimed a "very built" smallblock ford engine. but mike is game (or gamey, depends on who you listen to) and has re-built. this should be a real cool mud style ride if these two "ner-do-wells" are trail bossin...:D

[Red Tintop]

HEY...Who you calling nerdy well????

Ya'll need to go it will be good dirty, wet fun. Guaranteed :D

Sadly I won't be there to watch the show :mad: We had about 50 pine trees pulled out of the yard this week and I see some clean up in my near future. Mike and Wade know how to find plenty of trouble without me though--go for it.

Greg, safe bypasses are always available. JUST DO IT! Make Chris ride with you.

[TILEMAN]

Post up details, I will come

[87Rumbler]

Excellent!

I'm working to iron out the details right now. Trying to get a little later start (9:30-10:00AM) so you guys don't have to get up 5-hours before daylight to get here.

[lonesouth]

I may try to get the alternator back on. Still need to install the new plug wires to make it keep running, but we'll see. I'd like to go, but will need to put a little time into the bronco.

[73CJ]

if its 9:30 or so i can make it. i dont want to get up in the dark....im old (today is my bday infact)

[87Rumbler]

DANG!! Happy Birthday, Bob!!

Nice to see that I'm not the only one around here getting old.

[73CJ]

thanks!
well now may have to go back to LA and then to San Fran for last min business....damn it! i should get my own jet....with an apartment on it.

[Rebel Zuk]

HOLY HELL!!!!!!! Those numbered roads look nothing like our numbered roads. You could drive an Oldsmobile on ours here on the reservation...lol I stand corrected!!!!!!!!! How far of a drive from Crestview FL 32536 is it there?

[Red Tintop]

In the sami? A couple of days! :D

With a trailer about 2.5. If you decide to do it let me know and I will send you directions.

[TILEMAN]

Im am coming for sure. Bringing the CJ. Happy Birthday Bob.

[87Rumbler]

As if anyone needed further incentive after those pix . .

I'll also burn some more "ANF Goodies" CD's to bring along with the humungus maps showing (virtually) ALL the numbered forest roads in ANF, the lists (and lists) of GPS waypoints, and trail notes.

. . along with other cool stuff related to ANF I'm forgetting at the moment. OH! Like aerial photography of the entire forest broken down into (about) 5 mile squares with LAT/LON coordinates around the borders!

Shooot, its worth showing up just for that stuff, 'specially as you can't even get the maps showing all the numbered roads from the government for another several months.:cool::cool:

[TILEMAN]

Drool, Wipe, Drool, Wipe, Drool.

[swamp donkey]

hey....i just had mine too:D not that i wanted to.

my junk has issues...or i would go in a minute

swamp

[TILEMAN]

Are we still going if it's raining?????? I know how you mud boggers are!!!!

[Red Tintop]

It won't be, and yes they will be going either way.

[87Rumbler]

Mud boggers? WHO'sa MUD BOGGER ?!?!?!

We be trail riders.:cool:

But yea, rain or shine we ride trails. :D



BTW - 10:00 am at corner of HWY 319 & HWY 267 at the stop n rob (Convenience store)

There is plenty of room to park trailers there.

[Rebel Zuk]

I see that the ANF is south of Tallahassee. Its like a 3hr drive for me just to get to there, how much further south are you guys meeting? Will it be worth that long of a drive b/c thats bordering me driving far enough I could go to MMORV or GreyRock for the same driving distance almost and then get to wheel the rocks? Just asking.

[Cheddar]

Grayson, it's only 2 hrs from crestview to tally on I10 driving the speed limit, exit 56 to exit 196, 140 total miles. Then it's about 20 miles or 30 min from exit 196 to the intersection that they are talking about just south of town.

it's still a haul, but not quite 3+ hrs.

[Area51]

yeah just get off at the midway exit, take 90 east, capital circle south, and 319/61 south to the intersection of 267. easy and should only take 2.5 hours travel time.

EDIT: Google Map Directions (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=crestview+florida&daddr=bloxham+cutoff+and+crawfordville+&sll=30.263145,-84.362297&sspn=0.016532,0.040169&ie=UTF8&z=9)

[Rebel Zuk]

Oh hell, I just realized the dates. I WONT make it..I will be at Morris Mountain ORV this weekend for ShamROCK Run.

[Area51]

lol. yeah there is a lot going on this weekend. I *might* see you there... hate to miss this ride...

[Rebel Zuk]

Im going to work the event, so I wont be wheeling it.......again like last year...Oh well, you boys have fun on this ride, it does sound like a blast and I will definitely try to make the next one.

[swamp donkey]

i won't be able to make this ride...but ya'll don't forget me! i'm gonna get my junk water proof for this sort of thing....

i want to drive thru that hole...

pete

[Area51]

If I show I'll be sure to take lots of video..

[TILEMAN]

Who is going to this chindig>>>>>> Pete, how does your course look right now?

[87Rumbler]

How you gonna know where the leaks are if you don't drive through the hole? :cool:


i won't be able to make this ride...but ya'll don't forget me! i'm gonna get my junk water proof for this sort of thing....

i want to drive thru that hole...

pete

[87Rumbler]

What a *great* ride!

It was extra great to see you Greg, Kyle, Case, Adrian, and Parker again!

Pete, I'm proud to report that Greg survived. Didn't need his water wings one time! Well, ok, he could have used them a time or two - but I never saw a PFD around his neck - not even once!


. . it was pretty amusing to see water shooting six feet out of both his exhaust pipes after one particularly deep hole (by the way, that is not an exageration - six feet) but he made it! :D

[Riverat]

Mike, I had a great time and I know my son did too. Can't wait to do it again.

[TILEMAN]

It was awesome, I cannot believe how well the Cj did even without lockers and better gearing. Transfer case caused a little headaches shifting from time to time, but other than that great. Thanks for the invite Mike, had a great time. We need some of them pics posted up, I know he got some good ones.

[87Rumbler]

We are about to go for a (mountain) bike ride at Tom Brown Park, I'll pester him to post the video when I see him. :D

[TILEMAN]

Mike, I did not know you Bike too. I have a Built GT Zascar that I have not ridden for a couple of years now. Did not have anybody to ride with. Give me a call sometime and I will join you guys. Thats my second love, keeps the heart pumpin, so I can keep pimpin.

[Area51]

10am at tom brown if you can make it... I'll be editing video afterwards...

[TILEMAN]

Thanks for the invite, My wife however has plans for me today.

[Area51]

what? yer just chicken!! :lol:

I put up a new forum (http://www.florida4x4.com/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=72) on florida4x4 for biking. there should be lots of information on future rides posted there. all good folks are invited to join. ;) we've only been doing this a few weeks but so far Sunday's are a guaranteed ride. Wednesday evenings might be too..

[87Rumbler]

Greg, you should get out more. I've got the most popular mountain bike webpage on my whole website. :rolleyes:

[TILEMAN]

OK, so my sheeit is old, outdated; but it's still pimp and I look good on it. And well, I look good on it. :p

[TILEMAN]

ok, CAME HOME MONDAY AFTER WORK AND NOTICED THAT MY CJ PUKED. THERE WAS A BROWN MILKSHAKE AROUND MY TIRES IN THE FRONT. LOOKED UP UNDER AND IT WAS THE AXLES PUKEING ON THE GROUND. WHOOPS. THINKS IT TIME TO REGEAR. GOT TO CLEAN THEM THINGS UP, GOT LOTS OF WATER IN THERE, SEALS ARE SHOT.

I am ordering this stuff from MOABMIKE with Discount Gearing out in Utah. All Yukon, 4.11 gears with master install kits, dana 30 carrier, lock right locker, for the rear 4.11 gears, master install kit, spool. cheaper and gauranteed to work. Getting all this sent to the door for $800, also found I need a heavier radiator, so I am getting an alumminum high prerformance radiators designed for CJ's with AMC V8's, has tranny cooler intergrated and a new overflow bottle. Hopefully when this order is done, Im done. Lets make a DATE GARY & PETE.

[87Rumbler]

Greg, you really should extend those vent lines too.

. . but what a great excuse to regear! Congradulations! :D:D

[TILEMAN]

Anything to get somethin done. Getting a new radiator as well, something big and aluminum. Should be ready to flog soon. Yes, I will extend them vent lines up to the roll bars.

Andrew, do you have that great footage ready for viewing???????

[Area51]

getting closer but it's 40 minutes of video and a lot is good footage... still trying to get it done.

[TILEMAN]

Sounds good, can't wait.

[swamp donkey]

you fawkers are taking like a week to put pics up.....i'm beginning to wonder about ya'll.....ya'll werent singing "koombaya" aroung a fire were ya?:D

snortin' and laffin'
swamp

[Area51]

It's uploading now but it will be another 45 minutes before it's ready to download. It still needs work but I'm not going to be able to do more to it this week. It's blow by blow coverage and nearly 35 minutes long!! Certainly needs some trimming. :eek:

Don't click THIS (http://www.florida4x4.com/videos/TORC031408.mp4) until 07:45...

note you might need to install VLC (http://www.videolan.org/mirror.html?mirror=http://mirror.services.wisc.edu/mirrors/videolan/&file=vlc/0.8.6e/win32/vlc-0.8.6e-win32.exe) to view it.

Enjoy!

[TILEMAN]

This is TOP SECRET MISSION stuff. The powers at be had to edit for children. Please be advised that you may sere things that might offend you. Cover your eyes and allow you kids to watch instead.

[TILEMAN]

I have clicked on the link and nothing happens.

[Red Tintop]

Greg, you have to right click on it and choose "Save target as". That will allow you to download it onto your computer to watch. Like Andrew said, you may need VLC to watch it because it is an MP4
Less traffic on Andrew's server and smoother viewing on your computer--all good :D

Looks like ya'll had big fun, I am still POed I didn't go, A record # of MJC people in my woods and I wasn't there. Next time for sure.

Park the EB looked good. and the jeep was pullin good too but as usual the zooks stole the show!
It was pretty funny when Wade almost got stuck following that green tintop.

Andrew, you need a second camera so the Jimmy can get in more often. Maybe some music too, and an abrupt ending...you gotta get an abrupt ending :rolleyes: :p

[87Rumbler]

Dang. I never realized how boring my truck was to watch. Maybe I need to put slick tires on it . . . or take all the shock absorbers off . . . or something . . :o

[Area51]

it's nowhere near a finished product. I haven't even watched it all!! i posted because I am so busy right now that if I didn't, it would be a week before I could get back to it. only the first 3 minutes were edited. the rest is just chops of the better stuff.

Hope you got it Greg. Next version will be in flash so there is less hassle to play it back. working on "perfecting" H.264 with AAC compression first...

[87Rumbler]

The video wasn't boring. Just my truck.

[BroncoNole]

HAHA Greg when I read about your CJ puking I figured it was still leaking muddy water from the cab that we flooded. I think I must be bad luck in your rig...we always seem to mess up your stuff when I'm riding along :rolleyes: We had so much fun...and the Bronco didn't get stuck ONCE :D Now we just need the time to put the 351 in...

[78trouble]

That was a good vid. wish i could have made it. i think it needs more of greg dancing tho !!!

[Red Tintop]

Still the best video I have seen in a while!

Mike there are no boring trucks, only boring drivers. Try pushing the skinny pedal on the right- it will get exciting real quick :D

[Area51]

Well I finally got to watch it all. At 5am in a hotel room no less. Thanks for the props!! It did turn out and for 30 minutes of footage, it not too boring either. Once I get the encoding right it should be even better. I can't wait until the next ride. ;)

[TILEMAN]

OK, what is VLC and how and where can I find it. I have attempted to download twice now and I keep getting an error message. I am hoping it's the lack of viewing software.

[87Rumbler]

http://bioforcenano.helpserve.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=viewdownload&downloaditemid=23&nav=0

There it is Greg.

[TILEMAN]

Thanks got it, that was excellent video I thought. Most Youtube stuff is not that good. Great job Andrew. Lets do it again.

[ropeman]

Thanks got it, that was excellent video I thought. Most Youtube stuff is not that good. Great job Andrew. Lets do it again.

I agree! Maybe next time I can make it!

Mike . . . Try pushing the skinny pedal on the right- it will get exciting real quick :D

I agree with this too ;)

[swamp donkey]

ya'll leave us old'ns alone! i like watching a truck IDLE thru a hole, while all you young bucks raise hell....breakin' sheit!

great vid andrew! caused me to work on my jeep tonight! i even empted out the trash from River Rock! inspireing...

swamp

[TILEMAN]

Dammmmmiiiitttt Man

[87Rumbler]

ya'll leave us old'ns alone! i like watching a truck IDLE thru a hole, while all you young bucks raise hell....breakin' sheit!
swamp

Dang. I hadn't really though about it like that. Good point Pete !! :D:D

Scott, you are right too! Last time I leaned on the throttle it DID get exciting really quickly!!


. . . and pretty darned expensive too. :o

[Area51]

As it is the ANF, and the line between riding and destruction is so thin, we should all naturally engage four wheel drive and tread lightly as possible. The less wheel spin in these videos the better! "Bogging" is for places like puddin creek. ;)

[N. FloridaBronc]

Looks like you all had a great time, sorry I missed it. Good video Scott, Man you have got a steady hand with that camera. Good work.

Sick about missing that ride. Oh well, I'll catch the next one hopefully!

I'll be out there tomorrow with my daughter again in the ANF. But it would be great if we could make one of the group rides with you guys soon...

Jeff

[swamp donkey]

mike, i know about the expensive thing. thats why i don't rawhide my junk, unless its necessary....

swamp

[Red Tintop]

Good video Scott,
Jeff
No no, that is all Florida4x4/Andrew. I didn't even make it to that ride.

Hopefully the next one.

[Area51]

Hey Jeff, thanks!!

[lonesouth]

I deffinately tried the idle approach this time, it made for a much cleaner ride. Simply getting through some of that water made it plenty exciting enough for me! The bronco had more traction than before we installed the mini-spool. I had a blast and look forward to the next one!

[Red Tintop]

The spool does make a noticible difference, doesn't it. The next thing to be that obvious of an improvement while trail riding will be a set of swampers. The difference between them and MT's is as obvious as the difference between a spool and not!

As far as idling through a hole, I judge a wheeler's "skill level" by how he (or she) does things. You need to hit the hole just hard enough to make it, How do you know what is hard enough? Experience, knowledge of vehicle and capability of driver lets you know.

[lonesouth]

Got a set of 35x12.50 Dunlop Mud Rovers, seem to work well thus far, and the price was right, ~$500 mounted and balanced.

[Red Tintop]

Oh, they work. So did the MT's I had before.

So did the open axle you had before the spool.
My point is that the extra pull the spool gave you is the same extra pull you feel from a set of swampers.

[Area51]

I fogot you put that spool in there. So far that's tha best mod on my truck.

[Red Tintop]

The best mod ever? That is a tough one.

For me I think it was the re-geared t-case with 2wd-lo. With the spool and traction bar following up very close behind. The traction or anti-hop bar really made a huge difference right from the first time I let the clutch out.

[Area51]

dollar for dollar the most effective mod yet. the true best mod is the whole package... :D

[Red Tintop]

the true best mod is the whole package... :D
Agreed :cool:

Did you see a huge jump in capabilities when you switched from MT's to swampers?

[florida bronco]

Boggers are the only way to go! i agree in locked or spool = best for the $

[Area51]

They made a difference for height if nothing else. dragging the big chunks through the mud is not optimal.

[florida bronco]

goodness i hope your not dragging them, i hope your spinning them

[Area51]

I really don't want to spin the chunks. Done it and it's bad for the springs. lol

what I mean is dragging the center section through the mud is bad for forward momentum.

[87Rumbler]

goodness i hope your not dragging them, i hope your spinning them


Poor Bob. So "bogger" impared. ;)


. . and I am just teasting. :D

[florida bronco]

oops..yes i am thanks, i too also spun a chunk (d 70), as you say it was bad, snapped that pinion shaft like butter...

http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e265/gonynor/1979081.jpg

[Area51]

:eek: well look at the bright side. you got a nice shifter knob out of the deal... :o

[TILEMAN]

Tim pulled my covers today and out poured the ANF. My diffs were so full of water they were pressurized. Good thing I decided to regear.

[ropeman]

My diffs were so full of water they were pressurized.
How high were your vents?

[TILEMAN]

Not high enough. But all the seals were shot out. Had to get a new driveshaft as well. The rear was caput. This bloody thing is going to be in the family for awile. I will have 15K in the mother as of tommorow. It's gonna be passed down from generation to generation. This good deal did not turn out to be a good deal. It is nice now however.

[Red Tintop]

How high were your vents?
Axle high it sounds like :D

This good deal did not turn out to be a good deal. It is nice now however.
Wheelin ain't no ghetto sport :cool:

[lonesouth]

Ride this weekend?

[87Rumbler]

I'm up for it, Parker!

Maybe we could even try some different trail(s) . . ??

[florida bronco]

nice regear huh? what ratio you going with?

[87Rumbler]

Just so I can say I told you so . . .

Greg, don't forget the transmission and transfer case too.

They both have vents and both tend to suck in water at any oppurtunity.

:):)

[lonesouth]

At some point, probably when I do the engine swap, I'll drain my diffs, trans and t-case. My t-case has a clear inspection cover, makes it easy to see the oil level and if there is any water. I'd like to get a clear gearz dif cover too, but it is definately cheaper to just run the vents up high.

[87Rumbler]

clear gearz dif cover

Everyone will make fun of you.

. . . well, I know I will. ;):p;)

Besides, they are really (really!) hard to find for the Ford 9" rearend. :cool:

[Red Tintop]

Besides, they are really (really!) hard to find for the Ford 9" rearend. :cool:
Gee, ya think :D:rolleyes::D

[BroncoNole]

So how about that weekend ride idea...

Any takers...? I'd like to give some new trails a try Rumblah!

[Area51]

Ummm I'd like to ride but Perry is this weekend. Not planning on going? hmm...


Greg, be sure to plumb like fluids with like fluids... route the lines to the top of the windshield and put a filter on em.

[florida bronco]

so wht is it Pudding creek or ANF?

[Red Tintop]

I am a maybe :(

Got a little wrenchin to finish and a lotta burning to talk my way out of.

[Area51]

I'd really like to see the everyone at PC. Of course, at the last minute, I heard about the spring fling going on at Grey Rock in N. Alabama.. Kinda would like to go shoot some footage of that stuff. Guaranteed to be plenty of carnage :D

PC is closer...

[florida bronco]

i appreciate your decisiveness

[87Rumbler]

You know me; I'm a trail riding kind of guy.

I don't mean it any any way disrespectfuly but I have no interest in attending a mud bogging event. Unless I am getting paid to do it.
. . it simply ain't my cup - o - tea.:cool:

[lonesouth]

I think I may prefer to go trail riding as well. Getting up really early, paying to get in, driving down there. Maybe I'm getting old...Hopefully I'll have shocks this time too!

[87Rumbler]

It sure was entertaining to see you hit all those bumps with no shocks at all, Parker.

I think I'll miss it. ;)

[Area51]

ahhhh you "no" guys... lol.

[78trouble]

I will be at perry

[BroncoNole]

Boo Chris :(

[87Rumbler]

BN, folks are talking about riding Sunday. Do you wanna do that?

[BroncoNole]

I'm down, I'm jiggy. Sunday it is! Who else is in!?

[87Rumbler]

I gotta talk to the boss now . . . :o

[Red Tintop]

BN is jiggily?? :eek:

:D:D

[lonesouth]

Not that I've ever seen. :D

[Red Tintop]

Oh, you're gonna be in big trouble :eek:

[87Rumbler]

Really Parker. You gotta learn to lie if you want to keep a happy marriage. ;):p;)

[BroncoNole]

Wait, I thought that was a pretty decent response. What would have made it better would have been if he said

Scott, it's time to practice your FCAT reading skills. :rolleyes: Besides, you and I both know she's definitely not jiggily in the least...well, maybe I know that better than you do :D;)

On another note...is the Sunday ride on?!?! We have shocks (thanks to Andrew...you ROCK!!!!) and we are ready to roll!!!!! :)

[Red Tintop]

Hmmm, I thought it was important to jiggle at least a little, especially in some places.
And certainly Park would know so I bow to his expertise in this matter.:D

My wife is talking about making strawberry jam Sunday morning instead of burning, that is a step closer to riding for me. Just gotta find a little while longer to wrench tomorrow afternoon.

[florida bronco]

would there be a place to park my truck and trailer safely?

[87Rumbler]

Yes. In fact the normal meeting place is partially chosen because it has ample trailer parking space and plenty of traffic to keep the rif-raf away.

BN & LoneSouth ~always~ trailer their Bronco down and to my knowedge have never had any kind of security issue.

[lonesouth]

Yea, yea, get yer punches in...we haven't had any problems. there is a dirt strip next to the gas station we always leave the 4runner at.

Did we ever figure out a time? We may have a few people and another heep on 33"s with us.

[87Rumbler]

Parker to my knowedge no time has been set.

This ride is Adriane's idea so you might want to tell her to get on the ball and take care of that. ;)

[Area51]

10am at TBP for MB riding. after that, what time?

[87Rumbler]

Ummm, just got off the phone with Parker.

10:AM at the corner of 319 & 267.

Andrew, bring the bike. I've got enough power to pull it out of the mud. Though finding a place to hook the stap safely could be an issue. :D

[RACER1269]

rumbler, does suzanne know about this? what dirt do you have on her for her to go along with this???? :p

[87Rumbler]

Actually, none.

I fact she just yanked on the reigns. I'm out tomorrow. Gonna have to pass on both "events".

Preparation for next week's camp in White Springs. Chores for this weekend and next, have to be finished this weekend.

Ya'll have fun and try to miss me (us) a whole bunch! ;)

[Area51]

Well dang Mike...

I just talked with Scotty and we're gonna meet at tom brown at 9am for a ride. Can the ride be bumped up to 12 noon?

[87Rumbler]

Awww now I'm starting to feel bad.

I'd love to go any time either place. But there is just too much stuff to get done before next weekend and not enough time left to get it done if I go play tomorrow.

Even with my semi-retired status. :rolleyes:

Seriously, even Suzanne doesn't want to make the bike ride tomorrow 'cause of the chores we have to get done. :eek:

[Red Tintop]

Noonish might work for me. I got gardening to if I can. I picked up one too many logs to throw on the burn pile today...stupid back.

Ya'll just come here, give me incentive to put the swampers on.

Bob, there is plenty of room for trailers here, you to Park (but you knew that :D )

Mike sneak out, she'll never miss you!

So who is definitely going? I was kinda hoping for a morning ride since I'm burned as hell from all of the tennis. Is everyone against that?

[lonesouth]

OK...we are a go for noon tomorrow. We have Andrew, Scott and Us. I'm trying to get my buddy to come out as well...We can either meet at scotts or at the gas station. Is Bob still coming?

Adrienne's sister and a friend of ours are coming to ride as well.

Bob, please try to make it if you can. If all goes as planned, 'll be shooting in HD Video... I'd love to capture the big bad bronco in action!

[lonesouth]

The new deal is there is no deal. Scott's back has flared up and he is unable to go now. Looks like we're calling this one off. Ya'll get yer stuff together for the camping trip and we'll have a great time then!
