Same deal as before, but im already locked in to go. got the day off work, got the wife to sign my permission slip.. im good to go. I will not be camping the night prior. i am driving up in the morning. i will be registered, aired down and ready to hit the trails by 9(edit 0800, forgot when they opened.). Green/blue trails will be in the mix. i will give an idea of the loop which is open to playing it by ear. i know situation dictates responce. hope to see people there.

I wanted to get to Rausch That weekend, I was going to do a ride that the park was holding on the 25th. The catch is I was going to take my wife and camp as like a little mini vacation. Now we have no sitter and I don't wanna bring my kids so I have to back out. I might be able to swing something for the 26th tho, I will have to keep you informed over the next couple days as I try to work something out.

Id be all for it if two and a half things werent stopping me.
1- My rear springs are actually starting to negitively arch without gear in back
2- if it wasnt the only vehicle that was running right now because of upgrades, repairs
2 .25 because if I go and break the only DD we have right now my wife is going to unload her .25 caliber mouse gun right in my **** cheeks. most say it doesnt have stopping power but its stopping me from going...

The meetup date is the 26th (Sunday) of July. PM me for my cell number, to ease in grouping up once were at the park.
On the date of the meetup, we will assess the capibilities of your rig and your driver desires at the park. I will hold a Drivers meeting at 0815 to plan the route and discuss marching order. We will make a lunch stop in the park so please plan accordingly. Also, please be registered, gassed up, and aired down by 0810.

Were going out to test ourselves, our rigs, and most of all have fun.

this is taken directly from the website: (http://rauschcreekoffroadpark.com/sis/mem.php)
Membership
Rausch Creek Off Road Park is a membership-based facility. There are no pre-requisites or waiting lists. All drivers and passengers must sign a membership application & liability waiver. Drivers and passengers age 16 and up are required to become members of the park which costs $10 per year and is good for one year from the date you join. Membership cards are given out when you join.

Children age 15 and younger are free, however, we require a parental waiver. All members under the age of 18 also require a parental waiver.

The daily entrance fee is $35.00 for the vehicle and driver. Passengers age 16 and up are $5.00 each (When a passenger joins the park, the $5.00 fee is waived that day). We offer free primitive camping for our members

You think pa sucks for wheeling. Try finding somewhere in delaware. I guess it's not so bad when you put it that way. I also drive about 2.5 hours. Maybe around $125 when it's all said and done. Still not to bad. You know what jeep means right? Just Empty Every Pocket
