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.

I would say we are well covered between all the trailers and tools we will have available. Should make for a great trip.

no reason imo to be nervous....especially if there are by-passes around the hard stuff.
ill follow as far as i can, then ill go around, get in front and start taking pics of those who want to give it a go.
i plan to use friday to get familiar w/ the area.
a stock jeep is a VERY capable machine....ive already learned that.

I ll be there early friday let me know what cb channel we are all going to use.....the cell phone coverage is good out there so the few times i ve been if someone doesnt answer the cb we just call. The park does have air available 24/7 at the front! Oh and there is a very good little micro brewery in town that has some good food and beer. Who else is leaving Friday morning from San Antonio? Lets meet up!

This is certainly sounding like an awesome trip, sure hope ill be making it. Id love to do some of the harder trails but being this is the only vehicle i have here at the moment that might not be a smart decision. It is hard not to do an obstacle as your sitting their looking at it. Will their be some rocks to play on at this place?? Hope to see you all out their.
