hey guys....where is rausch creek?
i have a swim meet in the afternoon that i have to coach if this is close i might be able to make it...as long as you dont mind a new guy to your group (some wheeling experience, only once with the jk) and i might have to cut out early. so where is this place? anywhere near Randolf?

Hey Joe!!
We ALWAYS love having a new member join us!!!!
What time is the swim meet?? If its later in the PM, say 4pm, youd just need to leave by 1:30. That would work!! And give you a nice intro to off-roadin'!!! We would get you back to the entrance, aired up and re-connected...
And if you are totally stock, (except for the extra torque and HP from those stickers) you will be fine!! as we will stick mostly to green trails, and if you are uncomfortable with something, there are by-passes....
Did you get that CD radio yet?? (if not- no biggie!)
What size tires do you have? SRA 16s or 17s?
Distance: 125.76 miles Time: 2 hrs 14 mins
PER YAHOO MAPS!
* Starting in MORRISTOWN, NJ on SOUTH ST go toward MADISON ST - go 0.4 mi
* Bear Left on MADISON AVE(RT-124) - go 0.1 mi
* Bear Right to take ramp onto I-287 S - go 14.5 mi
* Take exit #21B/EASTON PA onto I-78 W (Portions toll) - go 95.3 mi
* Take exit #13/BETHEL onto PA-501 toward PINE GROVE - go 7.7 mi
* Turn Left on PA-895 - go 0.6 mi
* Turn Right on S TULPEHOCKEN ST(PA-443) - go 0.5 mi
* Continue on PA-125 - go 6.4 mi
* Turn Left on UNION ST - go 0.1 mi
* Turn Right on E MAIN ST(US-209)
Per RnJSTEL; stay on 78 ( just because its prolly easier) until you get to 81 North. Go about 14 miles, Get off ext 107, turn right. You are now on Rt 209. Follow about 1-2 miles, Will see houses!!! and look for JOLIET ROAD on the left. Turn left. Come to stop sign, turn left. ( This is like a triangle, so if you miss that first left turn, take the second, then entrance will be on right..) Entrance is on right. Take SECOND entrance!
Once you get into the park, go straight towards the little office building, and sign up.
Since it is your first time, it will be around $50.00 with each passenger at $5.00. This higher fee is one time; after that, its only like $30... Oh, and bring CASH!!!! and a bagged lunch!!
You will receive wrist bands, maps, and at the end of the run, you need to stop back in, and you will get laminated membership cards.
After you turn in your paper, and youre done in office, you can meet up with us. From office deck, we will be to your right.....near treeline...
Here are the links to the papers you should have to fill out:

If you have kids with you, you need the waiver:

Hope you can make it!!!!!

So Sorry, I meant to add that the green monster on the right rolling on 37's belongs to guinness who through his many connections was able to secure a ride for us on the property the picture was taken on. He also led us through a incredible day with no mishaps or broken parts. A modern day Magellan with his skiils for navigation of various terrain. But that would have taken too long. So I left you out.
Still time to change you mind about this weekend my friend.

All the trails we will do out at Raucsh (green or blue) are easier than some of the stuff up in Monticello. And now you are rolling on 35" KMII's, you will be fine.
But if you want to do some harder stuff....

Keep in mind some of the greens are pretty rutted out which makes them border line to medium blues. We've been there 2 times after JK fest and with all the rain lately we noticed quite a differance. Last weekend a few rigs including JK's got stuck high centered. At least two of the rigs were JK's w/ small lifts, one even had 33's. Of course the rain and thcik fog didnt help matters.
