Badlands, May 14th, More The Marrier

Me and my runner
"924runnersr5" and his runner
My 2 buddy's and there locked up FJ80's
and thats all for now.
We are going to go to the badlands on May 14th (Saturday), The more the marrier. Let me know if you are in.
Despite wheeling for a pretty long time I have never been there neither have 2 other guys. So we are excited to see what all the buzz is about. We usually go to the Cliffs in Marseilles.

Crap, I wish I could go! But that's the day I'm moving back to Purdue (which is like 20 min. away) so I won't have time to wheel. Grrr.....

In my webshots there are some of the quarry, green trail, creek, and i think there is some from pink and orange in there too. My buddy's site is down, but he has a lot of pic's as well, as soon as it gets back up ill link to it.

4rnr, its an '85 that will need a fair ammont of work just to get it running. Watch for a buildup thread soon.

Hey 4rnr, Im near algonquin and randell road in lake in the hills. But that will change soon enough. Buying a house in mongomery. I cant wait to go , I put new leafs and shackels on and want to see if it helped the axle rap. I also hope to have a front bumper soon so I can put my winch on.
Oh well I am rambling...Jay......

Nope I am sneeking away to do this trip. Wife would throw a hissy if she knew. We are buying a house and she wants to save every penny untill then.
But we allready have the down, closing and a little extra.

Oh well I have to get out, she just dosent understand.

So what trail are we going to do? Orange is allways a favorite as is the whole quarry erea. The reason I ask is the last two times I did orange there was some body damage to some in the group. I dont know any of you personaly so I dont know what every one is up to.
Either way I am sure we will all have a blast....Jay....
