We are in. We will meet up with you at the Smokeshop at exit 75.

Weather check :wink:

The one we strapped out on that hill had an issue with her transfer case, it wouldn't stay in low, that and street tires. Note this obstackle is completely optional.
I have a lockrite now so have nothing left to prove on that hill. :twisted:

I made it up "Dickies" on that same run that Beth mentioned.. It took me several tries at different lines to find the right one.. Some great spotting by Scuba Steve did the trick.. Here's a video of Darin comeing up in his Grand... Phil

Joe, I happen to be off on Saturday, so I will go. I love that area and need to go wheeling...and maybe around Bitter I can find this Dickie's Exit thing a few people talk about.

is that start time definite?


Yep, it's a definite!!! I know the Dickie's Exit thing you're talking about, JJ. Beth is right on that account...it is a blue sky moment...LOL I just hope the first place Rob and I wanted to stop pans out. I guess we'll find out tomorrow won't we? :mrgreen:

I'll be there by 8 am. I'll fill everyone in on the days event in the morning. See those of you who will be able to make it in the morning, and for those who can't...hope to see you on the club run two weeks later.

Hey Justin, I sent you a PM. We won't be going past the Smokeshop, hence the reason I posted the meeting spot at the Speedway's Petro. Sorry!! If there was anyone else thinking of meeting up at exit 75, we're going to miss you... :P Please meet us at the Petro for fuel and coffee, or whatever!!! You many be glad you did. :mrgreen:

Great run Joe :D

We had a blast and it was a great maiden voyage for the new axles/gears/lockers. They sure came in handy on the last part of the run.

Allen - thanks for the great spotting getting me up that rock wall.

Got to see some great countryside and doing it with friends makes it all the more fun.

See ya'll again next time.
