Guys-
I no for a fact they will be looking for help getting the new area ready to wheel.
RicNkc...I realize your egroup discussion didn't go well as i'm a member of the group as well. All I can say is based on my first meeting this past Saturday, everybody was real friendly and eager to greet new people.
As for the no reply when requesting info, that kindda thing happens from time to time with volunteer organizations unfortunatley. As the VP of the KC Climbing Club, I often find it difficult to get back to everyone requesting information due to taking care of all those other things going on in our lives.
These are not meant as excuses for the KC4WDA rather another point of view.
I am always of the opinion that if you don't like the way something is handled and you have a passion for a particular interest. Join Up and help out.
I hope to see you guys at the next meeting. I plan on going on my first run with the club at Montauk this month. I'll let you know how that goes.

Meeting....
Guys, sorry I've been absent for a while, finals and all that jazz has kept me busy.
The turnpike starts in Bonner Springs, KS, what say we meet there at 9 to give time for the drive out? We could meet at the toll station, or just after it or something. I think there is some parking. Or pull up off the highway, there is a Wendy's and gas station there.

F.Y.I. - they have moved the toll booths a little farther east on I-70.
However, you are correct there is a Wendy's and a gas station off of K-7 at the Intersection of I-70.
There is a Waffle House as well
That would be a great place for you guys to fill your stomach before the long ride to Tuttle 
Remember to take lots of pics!

Sweet.
Good, Ric, there is some more info on the area. Like I said in my PM, I'll need to get some gas, but I'll have already eaten at home cause I'm cheap.

Details...
Ric,
I've been to Tuttle once, so I'm not super familiar with it. There isn't anywhere close to eat, I think the closest is like 10 miles. I think I will have a cb...not sure yet. Let's say meet at the gas station right at the I-70/ K-7 junction, should be to the south of it, at 9.
I think it would be better to bring any food you want to eat, since then we won't have to drive to town or a gas station or anything.

possible location for next get together
Hey guys, here is another possible location for the next get together. www.jdorv.com
The KC4WDA has swithced their trip on the 24th to this park. I'll be heading down with them and will report back.
You guys have fun this weeknd and don't let the testosterone influnece poor decisions
A wise man once said "Cash is better spent on mods rather than repairs"
I only live 3 miles from the K-7/I-70 interchange. I might come up Saturday morning and meet you guys before you head out.

CB
Ric,
So far I do not have a CB. My dad is looking for his old hand held one so maybe I'll get that by Saturday. If not, just look for the balck/grey '84 with a bobbed bed, lift and Swampers.

the report....
The run was a blast, even if only Ric and I went, my buddy with a Cj5 lost an axle bearing on the way to meet us, and the others chickened out.
Ric got it pretty good, swamping a little bit of his interior in a huge mud hole and slicing up a tire on the rocks, also, he lead us up a trail that deadended on the side of a steep hill and there was no place to turn around!
Pics should be up sometime soon.
Ric,
What ever happened with your tires? Did you get them replaced?
Also, I almost forgot.
I was going home and a state trooper pulled me over for not having a drivers side mirror( I took it off for more clearance, good thing 'cause it would have come off on that tree that weekend anyhow), and for driving crooked down the road. Looked under the rig and my rear axle had shifted backwards on the right side about six inches! Dang alluminum lift blocks! I sheared the pins off of them, must have been during my assault on the rock ledges there.
Anyhow, an hour later at a rest stop and it was mostly straight. Now it's got steel Superlift blocks and some different springs under it.
