Saturday 6-18-2005 the Jonny Quest Offroaders will host a run at one of Ohio's tuffest trails, Stone Quarry.

Meeting time is 9:00 am in McArthur, OH (I'll give you exact details when you nod you can make it)

Trail is 13 miles out and 13 miles back. You can exit to Athens at the South end of the trail if you are coming from the South.

Requirements:
33s and rear locker
All your gear

This run is open to all Toyotas and Sammis that meet the minimum requirements.

Reply here if you would like to make the run,

 

UPDATE:

We will be camping at the trail head on Stone Quarry Road Friday night. Anyone leaving Columbus and would like to follow us down can do so Friday.

Conditions are getting dry for this trail (expect mud though) so the requirement for the locker has been dropped.

There are 2 very challenging areas on this trail.

1.) I call the gatekeeper. It's a series of mudholes within the first 100 yards of the trail. No bypasses here. You MUST do them to run the trail.

2.) The Flats- A series small holes down by the river that never dry out.

If it stays dry, it will be a walk in the park.

Leaving Columbus at 5 pm on Friday and arrive to set up camp at the trailhead by 7 pm.

 

I'm in so long as i get my front wheel bearing finished tommorow night...still waiting on the oem bearins from toyota.

 

Cool, you know it's next weekend right?

 

hey have you ever thought about coming out to attica? If you ever plan on it, lemme know cuz i'm only 20 min. away

 

I hope to make that my first "test" run with the new 4.3 in July. It would make for a good highway trip. We will be there in the next 60 days, I can almost bet my rig on that one. A few of us have been talking Attica lately.

 

yep

 

Awesome. We have a camp site already picked out. Should be about 6-7 vehicles including a quad.

Generator for the bugg zapper BBQ grill, all that.

 

Rock'nRoll! Trekker this couldn't have come at a better time.....60hr work weeks, 2 recent expensive tickets, a wheel bearing I never did fix, an ex-gf messing w/ my mind, an associates degree that's turning into a 4yr fiasco, getting turned down on renting a farmhouse I'd been scoping for years....I'm still at home....still at school....still single....still working full time(good thing but not while I'm in school), still being hounded by financial aid....
All I can say is I can't wait to hit the trail.....hope I can keep up.

 

Have fun

(must get real tires......)

 

Your handling it the right way It really doesn't get any easier as you get older and have more responsibilities, you just learn to wheel more to balance everything out.

Ianshoots,

You can always camp and bump a ride in one of our rigs if you want to join us. We are pretty easy going..

 

Now that sounds like fun....
Got no fatherly responsibilities anymore so I just have to make sure the lil' woman doesn't already have plans for me.

 

Bring your campin goods and a good attitude. Your set. You can caravan down with me and Vince Friday if you want or I can give you directions where to meet in McArthur. Then it's a 10 minute drive from there to the campsite and trail head.

Welcome!

 

Jutty, is this still on? I mentioned it to my girlfriend and she actually acted like it was a good idea (I wonder what she has planning in my potential absence ). So if you still think I could score passenger seat (or backseat if there are any runners) then it looks like I am at about 97% for being there.

Also, if I am coming from the Dayton area, does caravaning with you and the infamous Vince make sense, or should I just find my own route and plan to meet you guys?

Thanks!
Ian

 

Ian,
I hope it's still a go. I plan on making the trip this coming weekend. Man o man am I gonna get stuck having open diffs

 

It's a go boys. We have a couple other rides joining us. A diesal cruza for one.

Bring your bug spray. Ian, we have you covered. Can you guys GPS your way there if I give you the coordinates to the campsite? Or you can follow us down Friday Night. 4 of us are Towing. Vince is driving his truggie.

 

What time Friday night?

Trekker, is the meeting time in MacArthur still standing at 9AM? If so where at? Pm if you like.
Thanks.

 

I'd sure be cool if I could GPS it, but I can't, yet. If I were to follow, where in Columbus do you guys meet up? I haven't been down that way for a long time, so following the caravan is probably my best option.

Feel free to PM me with whatever info I should have.

 

PMS sent

 

Tuesday night's count stands at:

My Trail Mule
Vince's Truggie
Vic's Sammi
Evan's V8 94 Extra Cab Can you say 40ft. dirt geysers?
