June 19th Sunday run to PAP

[sentinal02]

Ok guys, so as to keep things a bit more organized I'm adding this thread to be used with the official run poll thread. Those of you who would be up for a run to PAP on the 19th post up here so we can gauge interest. I'm not 100% sure I can make this date yet, but if enough guys want to go I'll make it work on my end. my rig tops out at a blue 2 trail, MAYBE a blue 3 so if you want to run anything higher then we'll need two groups. Oh, and for those of you who know, post up you trail level preference so we can see who wants to do what. So let's hear ya!

I am in for a Sunday Run.

Stock height: 2005 Rubi Unlimited ....same type of trails from April run

[wrangler]

I"M THERE!!!!! Got a stock wranger thats my dd...i dont want to go on stuff thats to hard....but what we were doing on the march run was great...i think blue 2 is what we maxed at. Anyone want to camp over night till monday so i dont have to drive home same day?

[Mythic Motors]

This sounds like a good time. I also don't want to take my rig on anything to tuff yet. I am still breaking it in. So I'm in.

[sentinal02]

well, I just got confirmation that I'm free the 19th so I say we make this run a go. it's a better date for me over the 25th anyway.

[sentinal02]

hmmm, only 4 rigs? guess everyone wants to go with the big group or doesn't want to go on father's day. Oh well, just means we can cover more trails since we won't be waiting for the back of the line to catch up all the time. right guys! Mythic, you get a chance to look at those brakes today?

[XEON]

Sunday = bad for me, still in school :(

[OlllllllO]

i might be able to make it.... the YJ is running much better now and i think it can finally make the haul up 81 to paragon. so just pencil me in for now 8) ...

[mobilemetal]

I might be able to wheel that day as well. Not 100% sure just yet though.

[sentinal02]

good good two more. OIIIIIIIO haven't you been working on that thing since last years JF run in Aug? mobile, make sure you guys hang onto the phone this time :lol:

[ROCKREADYXJ]

I should be able to go to this one 95% positive I will run anything in the park. So I go with what ever group needs a Guide

Joe

[autocrave]

Any one realize that the 19th is Father's day?

[Mythic Motors]

I'm in. I am new to Paragon and have been trying to get out there.

[mobilemetal]

Any one realize that the 19th is Father's day?

Oh sure, you just had to point that out. I told my wife that it's father's day, not "do what your wife tells you" day!

[sentinal02]

Any one realize that the 19th is Father's day?

yeah, i realized that after I started planning this. Doesn't bother me any though, I'm still planning on going. bring the kids and tell them you wanted to go wheeling for Father's day. :lol:

[wrangler]

i'm coming...dad's gona be out of town anyways.

[OlllllllO]

I might be able to wheel that day as well. Not 100% sure just yet though.

good good two more. OIIIIIIIO haven't you been working on that thing since last years JF run in Aug?

haha....yeah, i never claimed not be lazy :wink: . it runs enough to make it to rausch creek, but for some reason those hills on 81 just kill it. i finally got around to acutally doing something and it seems muuuuuch better now 8)

[sentinal02]

Ok guys, 2 weeks away. here's the list so far:

sentinal02
autocrave
wrangler ?
Mythic Motors
OlllllllO ?
mobilemetal ?
ROCKREADYXJ ?

Joe, I know you are planning on going on the official run the 25-26, so are you still planning on coming this run as well? for the rest of you with ?'s by your names, please post up if you are definitely going once you know. I know some of you mentioned that it might be a problem for you being it's fathers day. from the sounds of thing we have at least 3 probably 4 definites so we should be good to go regardless, but I don't want to leave anyone behind.

[wrangler]

If i can talk my dad into going again i'll go...I'll post tomorow for shure...any one want to camp over night since it s such a long drive?

[wrangler]

ok...if someone will convoy up to PAP on the 18th i will go for sure.

[wrangler]

i'm def going...is this trip still happeneing..what time we meeting and such?

[autocrave]

Even though I said I would go and realyy want to go, I can't. The family is having a huge picnic on father's day and I am stuck attending.

Leaving 2 days after for Memphis so I can even go the next weekend with everyone.

Thinking of exploring the pines this sunday. Is anyone iterested, I have never been there.

[wrangler]

post ur pines trip in another thread..that way the 2 trips will be kept seperate.

Can we get an "i'm going" post if ur going on the pap 19th trip? We need to determine how many rigs.

[matt6669]

ok no offense wrangler i don't mean to get down on you at all or anything.
but you need to slow down your post and take time to think them through and write them out. Just a suggestion but maybe break out microsoft word or something with a spell checker and type your post in there, then make the corrections and then post it into the reply form.

Im not saying this to be mean or anything, its just at times its incredibly hard to understand what you are posting. Just a suggestion, i mean i know im not perfect and ill never admit to it but i like reading what everyone says and would like to read your post just sometimes i have to skip them because i can't read them

Matt

[wrangler]

Hi Matt,

Thanks for telling me. Your right...my spelling is bad. I just got a new laptop and i am not used to the smaller keyboard. I will try a little harder to at least have proper spelling so you guys can understand me. For those that did not understand my previous post; I am definitely going to pap on the 19th.

[matt6669]

YUCK a lap top i hate those freaking things they are the worse to type or do anything on but they are handy.
not to get off topic, but i work for an architecht and he's talking about getting us computers to put architectural desktop on (b/c we currently hand draft) well he's like maybe ill get you guys laptops so you can take them home with you if need me, im like NO THANKS im like i refuse to work on a lap top. You just can't be profficient on a laptop at all, they are to small.

you need to get yourself a desktop and have a ball, haha but i definitely hear where you are coming from about the smaller keyboard

Matt

ps hope you guys have fun at the pines

[wrangler]

:offtopic: I got a desktop as well. I just am never home so that is why i use the laptop. Aside from the smaller keyboard its great...i just need to get used to it and type a little slower. I cant get my 40 wpm on the laptop lol.

Ok guys... now start talking about the trip again. lol jk

[sentinal02]

Ok guys, here's the details:

We're gonna meet at the park at 9 am. I will be on channel 32, or if there is chatter then channel 28 on the CB once I get to the park.

Here's my rig and it will either have the tan top on, or a black bikini with the tan doors.

the silver decal on the hood and the Tri-State sticker on the windshield should be a dead give away. For those of you bringing a cell phone, PM me your number so I can contact you the day of the trip if things change.

As far as trails go, I'm thinking we'll take valley road in (2wd), to Doe Run (G3) Then Logging Road (G2) to Rock swamp (B1 which has a go around for anyone who doesn't want to try it) then run the pipeline back to either Haul rd (2wd) and run some of the shorter inner trails like 40, 41, 39 and 36 or we can hit GB&U (G3) and run turtle up (B1) to get out of the park, depending on how we look for time. With a small group like this we should be able to cover a good amount of ground but we'll see how things go. If anyone else has some suggestions for what to run, or wants to hit a certain trail, let me know.

Nick

[sentinal02]

Great, heard back from some of you that I PM, and we've got enough to make this ride a go. Definites so far:

Sentinal
Wrangler
Mythic
OIIIIIIIO

just waiting to hear from Rock and mobile now. auto, sorry to hear you can't make it. maybe next time!

[matt6669]

yeah, i knew he was gonna be out for the weekend. thanks though

[sentinal02]

just thought i'd let eveyone else know that I heard from mobile and he won't be able to make this run, so it's going to be just the 4 or 5 of us depending on if Joe is coming. also, just in case anyone is wondering, I have most of the recovery gear we might need. 2 20' and 1 10' straps, hi-lift and a 4 ton come-along and am locked up front. haven't had to use the come-along yet though. doubt we'll need it though unless we start playing around in the mud. anyone have any D-rings? I have one, but a few more wouldn't hurt if we need a longer strap.

[wrangler]

i see u said were gona wheell at 9 am. Are we gona wheel till closing? Its a long drive for most of us so i would prefer to go all day and get the most bang for my buck.

I'll likely be there til about 5. depends on where we end up on the trails on how we look for time. If you guys think 9 is too late then we can meet earlier. I was planning on being there by 8:30 and aired down, registered, and ready to go at 9.

[wrangler]

i plan to be ready..aired down swaybars disconected, posilock engaged with the engion running by 9 am. Lets get all the wheeling we can!

shouldn't be too hard. O|||||||O is staying over from the day before so he should be there bright and early, and I'm waiting to see if Mythic wants to caravan down with me. now let's just hope the weather holds. current forecast is Hi 75 and partly cloudy. absolutely perfect weather.

[wrangler]

i'm staying over at the rv campground 10 min away...0111110 do u want to camp at the same place? Were do u live?

[OlllllllO]

i'll be there the day before, but i'll end up driving home that night and driving up again in the mornin....i'm only about 1.5-2 hrs. away. i'm not 100% sure i'm gonna make it now, i completely forgot about it being fathers day. as long as its cool w/my dad i'll be up (maybe ill even drag him along :twisted: )

[wrangler]

yea so i think we should tri and be ready to wheel by 9. No sence wasting valuble time diconecting sway bars and airing down. Any one coming have an compresor? came in handy last time on the trail.

[sentinal02]

sway bars? discos? what are those? :lol: and i ride 18 psi on the street anyway with the off road tires. lol. alas, no OBA for me yet. got the york sitting on the bench waiting, but won't have the time or funds to get it in for this run. definitely by the next run though. thought about just throwing it in there and running it without all the other goodies, but i'd still have to get a double belt pulley for the alt and I doubt that would be here in time anyway so why rush and screw things up. 6 more days.

[wrangler]

ok well i'm leaving on saterday at 5pm. Camping overnight. I wil be at pap ready to go by 9am. Cant wait to go. see ya all there. My laptop is going mia so i might not post till then...i am going though

[sentinal02]

Update: heard from Joe and he won't be able to make it due to dad's day. make a note Justin, don't schedule runs for holidays unless you don't want a huge group. lol. no problem though, we've got three definite rigs, that's all we need. OIIIIIIIO you still in? gonna hit your dad over the head and drag him off roading so you can come? :lol: anyway, Mythic and I are gonna be coming down together and should be at the park around 8:15 or so. don't forget the cameras guys.

[wrangler]
