This is on my personal agenda, as to I have some revenge on Wildcat Stairway (level 5)
But Ill go join other rigs and do whatever I think I can handle.
i might try Wildcat i dont remember doing that one. I have done Jeffs playground and Jodys revenge. I would also like to try and go for TRO.

Is TRO the trail that they say you need a guide to run?

Y'all make me nervous just talking about it.

I want to do some light to moderate trails Saturday and maybe something harder on Sunday morning.

Anyone plan on running on Sunday before heading home?

I have a friend tagging along who has never been out so we will probably stick to moderate. I haven't had a chance to check his rig out yet, so I am not sure.

It says that on the map online but the printed maps I have from them don't.

Easy
Moderate
Difficult

Anybody with a lot of experience out there wanna develop a list of suggested equipment for each category?

Cool
Maybe a better ideas is to just post up who will be out on which days...

I have 150psi AIR on the coach (small 20gal tanks, but on demand & quick recovery & i carry 50ft of air hose, gauges & chucks....folks can air up via the coach, before they leave if they like (im assuming the camp doesnt have air, but either way, we'll have it at our camp site).

I dont have a winch but i have large recovery straps, and have grade 70 chains (pulling the jeep) & quite a wide assortment of tools on the coach, including tire plug kits.

we havent completely decided but we may bring the car trailer w/ a jeep on it...so if anyone gets busted we could have a way to get you back home...worst case...ill do what i can to help anyone get out of a jamb w/ what i have (including coming back home to get the trailer & f350 to haul you home...busted owner pays fuel & beer)

if anyone can thing of any special tools i'll have plenty of room and can throw stuff in the coach, including air impact guns and even a mig welder (our coach as a 10kw, 50a generator...so if the camp slot 30a isnt enough we got more, on board).

i WONT plan to bring the mig, but COULD, ive got drills, grinders and other stuff if someone things its necessary...but i dont normally travel w/ that crap.

Matt & I are planning to be there EARLY friday....and we are planning to run at least some of the trails (itll be my 1st time @ HF).

I expect we'll probably wheel a little on sunday before we head back to houston.

I will have a bunch of digital/slr camera gear (a bit of a hobby), ill try to take as many pictures as possible.
