My plan is to run all other trails before running the Busy Wild. If there ends up being a lot of people show up for this, it will be better for us to break up into smaller groups of 6-8 Jeeps and run different trails. I have been to Elbe a couple of times before where 20+ Cherokees all took off together heading down one trail. Both times we ended up getting split up into 2-3 different groups anyway...due to stucks, breaks and guys in the middle of the pack just not keeping up with the guys in front and holding up the guys behind. Anybody who wants to run with me is more than welcome but, the Busy will not be my first trail. I will run it later. I will keep my CB turned up so I can hear if/when anybody who decides to run the Busy first thing needs to be rescued. I will have all of my extraction gear with me.

Well I understand. My reasoning for a wrangler is its the first rig when you think off roading. Hi-life is a club for all rigs, big or small, DD or a full cage buggy. Soo that's y it was choosen. There has been some talkin about doing a few other designs with different rig. Ie xj Toyota, Nissan, ford, Chevy....but its not for sure. I have quite a few of these if anyone want to buy one. $30 when we are there. Shirts if they hurry there asses up an get here will be $20 on the spot. There also might be a few in a raffle.
As for trail runs...I agree with Brain about possibly splitting up. From what I counted about a month ago. There are roughly 20 rigs going between here an the club. But we still have a month till so maybe more maybe less. There are some camping some just coming down Saturday. I am going to be arriving Friday day setting up an hitting a few of the trails. Anyone welcome. Saturday I say we do like we did last time. Do the first few trails all together then split an those who would like to do the busy go ahead an the other half do the rest of the trails or head back for luck or dinner an do done club stuff. Bs raffles, stuffs an pass out real quick rest for a night run...then do do a few of the trails an head back sleep then Sunday depending on who stays. Could do all the trails together then an head home afterwards or do a few trails an do the busy. I vote few trails Friday, all trails any a second group doing the busy. Then all the trails together Sunday. That way whoever did the busy the ay before can do the rest of the trails Sunday....that is if no one breaks anything
