She's pregnant, so it depends how she is feeling by then. Hopefully she'll be past the queasiness by October. If not, I guess I'll drag my brother along. He was a little bummed out when I told him it was only for JK's . He wanted to bring his CJ/YJ/XJ Maybe if he put some JK stickers on it..hmmmm

.....Uhmmmm...If he had another vehicle to run with.......there's nothing stopping him from going to Rausch Creek and uhm....running into each other on the trail........I know I wouldn't care if some group was following us around......I know one hill climb, that's begging for me to try out my new front locker....and I kno wsomeone Named Paul would like a second crack (no pun intended regarding someone's blown rear axle!)....so uhm....I'm not the most subtle!

Also Piginajeep/Bustabizz do you need trail guide volunteers? I know there are a few of us that run up there often and know the park well, I would be willing to lead a blue/green group.
Yes, they probably are conservative, but these are my preferences for leading. You can drag a stock X unlimited on the Goodyear SRA's on Blues and Blacks (been there, done that) however, it doesn't make a for a good trail ride, when people hear all that scrapping, and see physical damage, especially for newbies who have never hit the trail. Take into mind, that this is a multi day event, so if they ran something too easy the day before, just step it up a level the next day. If you are in the midst of a trail, and realize you are way over your head, step it down a level. There are no rewards at the end of the day for having the most or least damage (maybe beers in the parking lot for trail guides!) just stories at the end of the trip. Trust me, it never feels good to have trail damage as a trail guide. You tend to take it a bit personally. The most important thing is to enjoy yourself, and have fun! That's why I trail guide, to help teach people what their ehicles can do, and keep them coming back. The rewards are seeing the people I guided in their stock vehicles, show up in their now modified vehicles, and run increasingly harder and harder trails.

come on guys the purple trails ain t that bad! even the blacks ain that bad. i just don t like off camber crap. i haven t been on a wheelin trip yet that i havent come home broken.

trip 1 ruined clutch= new clutch under warranty

trip 2 ruined clutch, ripped off evap can, and had a bout 2" of mud in my gas tank all from hummer hole (check out avatar)= cost me $700!

trip 3 ruined front diff cover, front driveshaft, dented both rear shocks, bent tie rod in a u, really tested out my rocker guards= $about $200 for new tie rod setup from rock krawler.

ok, so maybe blacks do tear stuff up, but that is what a jeep is for right!

I was at Rausch a few weeks ago and it is awesome. Hopefully this will become an annual event so I can make it next time. I have to be at a wedding the weekend you are all going. Have fun.

Is there a deadline for registration. I didn't see one but would like to make sure I didn't miss it somewhere. I still don't know if I will be able to make it or not.
