3rd Annual Family Trail Ride @ Rausch Creek - 10/19/13
After the overwhelming response last year, I'm going set up this ride on the same weekend again this fall. For those of you not familiar, this ride is going to be green trails ONLY. It's going to be a stock jeep and kid friendly event. We're going to be making plenty of stops for pictures and to let the kids blow off some steam. So if you're looking for a nice relaxing day on the trails, or if you want to try out your new jeep, then this ride is for you.
We had over 30 jeeps attend last year, and I'm expecting the same this time. That being said, I'm going to need some trail guides, so we can split into smaller groups. If you know the park and think that you've got the patience, let me know, and I'll put you down as a guide.
As we get closer to the date, I'll start posting up more info like meeting and departing times, and group assignments. If anyone has any questions, please feel free post them here, or you can PM me directly. Also, to avoid any confusion, I'm only going to mark you down on the attendee list if you confirm that you will definitely be attending. I'm not going to be keeping a "maybe" list. When you confirm, please let me know if you will have any kids with you, and their ages. This year, I'm going to try to get kids of similar ages into the same groups.
Hope to see everyone out there this Fall!

Alright, I've got some news for everyone. The guys from Seven Slot Society are having a charity event the same day as our ride, and they've invited us to join them for their cookout and fund raising raffle. There will be no additional cost to attend, but they do ask that you spend a few bucks on raffle tickets. There should be quite a few great prizes for someone to win. All proceeds from the raffle will be donated to 4 Wheel to Heal, which benefits wounded veterans from all branches of our armed forces. You can learn more about this charity here:
4 Wheel to Heal
The cookout afterward is completely voluntary, but if do attend, please, please, please buy some raffle tickets and help us raise some money for the men and women that have been injured protecting our freedoms.
As we get closer to the event, I'm going to need to get a head count of those of you that plan on sticking around. So think it over, and I'll ask everyone again in a few weeks.
Thanks guys!

I'd like to get everyone to the park between 8-8:30 in the morning. We're going to need to get 50+ jeeps aired down and disconnected, so it's going to take some time. I know quite a few of you have never done it before, but don't be afraid to ask for help if you have any questions. If you've never been to Rausch before, then you'll need to fill out your park membership registration form. I've included a link to the form below. In order to speed things up that morning, please print it out and have it filled in before you get to the park. I also posted a link that explains all the fees that you have to pay.
When you register in the office, they will ask you what group you are with. Please tell them that you are with the Seven Slot Society group. If we get enough people there, Rausch is going to donate a couple day passes for the raffle afterwards.
I'd like to have everyone on the trails no later than 9:30. We'll wheel for a few hours, then I was hoping that we could all meet up at a central location to have lunch together as a group. I'm not quite sure where yet, but I'll figure something out. After lunch, it's back to the trails until about 4-4:30. Everyone will then head back to the staging area and the end of the ride. Those that are staying for the Seven Slot Society cookout and raffle can head over to their tent and meet up with their group. They are starting to cook food and sell raffle tickets at 5pm, and the raffle is scheduled to start at 6. Again, there is no charge for the cookout, but if you stay for the food, please buy some raffle tickets. I don't want us to look like a bunch of freeloaders. 100% of the money from the raffle is going to 4 Wheel to Heal, so we know the money will be well spent.
If you plan on staying for the cookout/raffle, please reply in this thread with the number of people coming. I need to get them a solid number by the end of this weekend, so if everyone could let me know by Sunday afternoon! that would be great!

If you want to camp (which it might be a bit cold this time of the year) then it is free at RC. The camping is rough, meaning only porta-potties no running water or anything. They have other camp ground close by as well.
If you don't want to camp then the Comfort Inn in Pine Grove would be the place to stay. They are pet friendly (from what I hear), and offer a discounted rate to RC members.
Dogs are definitely allowed on this trip.
