I was at Rausch yesterday. Things are pretty rutted out/washed out. Nothing impossible though. I did mostly blue/black trails and 1 red trail.

No we didn't. If anyone of us couldn't make it up we tried a different path or used the winch.

Unfortunately, it looks like I am not going to be able to make it. I was planning on it and have even started to get my stuff prepped, but the wife found out that she will be traveling for work over the next week and a half, which leaves me at home taking care of the dogs...I would love to come and bring them with me, but I just don't have the room...I hope everyone has fun and hopefully I can make it up for the next trip.

Here's some pics from what it looks like up there. These are from Sunday.

Here's the pics!

Bashed the skidplate on a rock (I slid off the side and SLAM!!!)


THIS IS WHY I HAVE SLIDERS!! NO body damage!! Tree actually took the paint off the slider!










This is when things got a little tippy...


The 3 of us. Me on 33x12.5's, Samurai on 30x9.5's and the Heep on 36x13.5's


Top of the red trail




Fire Pit











"Lake" Christy






Some water got flung up into the distributor which caused a miss, just needed to dry out.



Winching out the Samurai




FLEX!!!

Brian answer your PM, need your info.

This is what I have so far.
Haven't heard back from (yes) ohoktimmyg ; Swimmerboy2112 ; or (maybe) Cyberman ; Lumpy ; yeehaw1.

If I transcribed the info wrong, please let me know so I can correct it.

Just called the park to let them know we were coming. Said group of about 10 rigs for Saturday and Sunday wheeling and camping. For those that get there early on Friday night to set up, try to get an area somewhat big enough for us campers so we can kinda stay together. If I don't hear any objections to me forwarding the phone contact list, I'll do that after work tonight (11pm) so you all can get together tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Once again I will be rolling in anytime between 11pm and 1am give or take a half hour.

Skid plate for the fuel tank isn't gonna be done so I am gonna need a really good spotter for at least Yellow Jacket trail.
I think Brian (Swimmerboy2112) and Jeff (Yotaluver) will be the only ones in the group with a winch.

I don't know if Brian is wheeling both Sat and Sound but Jeff is a maybe for Sunday.
If neither of them will be wheeling we won't have a winch truck for Sunday.

Yes Ian, thanks for the reminder.

As far as food goes, I'll have my propane grill if anyone wants to bring Burgers, dogs or whatever. I'll bring some as well, but can't afford to feed 10 people. Also Sandwiches are a good idea, since we may or may not stop on the trails to eat lunch.

Thinking about getting some egg beaters or dried eggs for breakfast in the morning.

Oh and Ian, I have your Grilling utensils from last year, I'll be bringing those too. lol.


Brian, bring those wiper motor parts RBX gave you awhile back as well.

I am a big maybe, and it's not looking good. If I show up, it'll be on Saturday morning, and probably only staying till lunchtime. So, no camping, etc.

I will definitely be up on 7/14, however, for the Gotham City Land Cruisers "Coal Mine Cruiser Classic".
