Bump.
We should be at the Badlands on Friday by 11:00 a.m. Since we are towing, the Suburban FLIES with that trailer back there. Amen...time to wheel.
Vince and his truggie are coming over Friday for sure. Vic and his Sammi might make it. That's the Columbus contingent.
We're camping at SummerCarroll and will be back there 1 hour after the park closes Friday night. Not checking in to the campgrounds till after the park closes.
Saturday...Wheel like crazy and camp out there Saturday night too.
Hope some of you guys can make it. Might be the only chance to meet Seaflea for some of ya'

I think he could do up to pink and the river trail, but i dont know about orange. Lately orange has been mean. As far as the rocks goes he can just park and watch.

The green trail is best for longer wheelbase stockers, even on street tires, though there are a couple areas where the breakover is pretty good. Shouldnt be a problem in a runner though. The quarry is always a good time, along with the sand bowl. The creek is another that is doable in a stock rig, except for a couple areas of deep water that have unmarked bypasses. The hole after the tubes will put a vehicle over the headlights and cause damage, and there is one before the tubes that puts water up to the bottom headlights on my K5.
There are some sections of orange that are doable in a stocker, same with white trail. I wouldnt suggest pink....

After looking into it alittle. Is pink considered the quary. becuase I went down what I thought was pink, but now im not so sure. It was a wooded trail with a tricky entance, and a low tree. It later met up with the river.
