I didn't know you could camp at the bottom?? I always camp up on the hill the right, not sure what everyone's plan is. I just need two trees or two rigs with roll cages to throw the hammock up.

You can camp anywhere around the race track and the field on right

Didn't know that.

How much did it rain there today?

Where do you guys normally camp at? Up top or at the bottom to the right?

Somewhere in this vicinity is my plan. That way when the Frenchie and Lori roll in Saturday we don't have to move campsites to be closer to the party.

Going to try to make it up there this weekend. I hope it's not a big mudfest!

We had 2 days of nice weather and this weekend looks to be perfect. Should be a good time

Had a good time today and got to see some a ton of y'all. Great day of riding. I didn't get many pictures, but I'm sure the rest will post up eventually.

Nicks rude parking spot

Turns out trans fluid is required on steep inclines. So mine gave up the ghost on the ledge on the jungle. The obvious decision was selfies while waiting on a tow.

Well I was planning to ride with Chuck today, ended up having to do other stuff this morning and didn't get to the park till ~1. Basically rode around the easy trails and cut a few downed trees and several limbs out of the way, try to help out a bit and ready for the Dixie Run mall crawl.

I haven't had my Tacoma at GMP to actually ride, and it was pretty dang fun. The main trails are just challenging enough to make ya feel like you're doing something! (On 31s with only a front locker anyway).

Luke's pic of my rude parking spot is the 17 bypass, had to winch to save my door mirror (lame)

Sorry
I didn't get pics of any of the cool rigs today :flipoff1:

The Luke · Sep 16, 2017

I like that I'm not one of the cool rigs. Lol

Markrobinson · Sep 16, 2017

Too bad, I like the cage and I'm pretty sure you had that ledge if you hadn't come up a quart short :****: Definitely a cool rig

Damn good meeting you Luke, Nick, Enzo, and several others whose names I didn't catch or suck at remembering.

I didn't have a chance for pics and most of what my wife took were of the pathfinder or our boys, but here's said slab and cool ExoJ:

I didn't know you ever left windrock??

tonybolton · Sep 17, 2017

I do....when others drag me out there.

The Luke · Sep 17, 2017

I swear I'd have had it if my trans would have kept pulling. I never did spin a tire on it.

Well first hardline ride for me. Had a blast for sure. was slick as snot and Luke made me look bad first couple of trails. Kind of got split off from everyone when dad broke his valve stem off and the green xj had to change his driveshaft the cv was clicking bad.

Thanks Erica, Patrick, and sam for feeding me. Food was definitely better than a can of soup or sandwich.
Frenchie, Lorie, Matt, Matt's daughter (sorry I'm terrible with names) great to meet all of y'all finally.
I got some pictures I'll post later. Can't wait for the next ride.
