Mohawk caravan

[Seabee_BUC]

I'm so jealous of everyone  , the annual trip to Mohawk is a GREAT trip and I'm going to miss it . Especially after we sold JD's Jeep...

On a lighter note, I'm heading to CA next week for 3 months and will have plenty of chances to head out to Hungry Valley, Johnson Valley, Last Chance Canyon, Jawbone, and wherever else I can get to with my FJ!!! I might even try to fit in a trip to Vegas to Red Rock Canyon!!!

Hey, what time are we heading home on sunday

[rocket]

whenever you want; usually some leave first thing after breakfast; i usually stay for another short trail ride (leave by noonish).  2.5 hr home.  its really your choice

Hey, what town are we going to be in?

[calvynandhobbs]

The campground address is in Charlemont, MA.

[calvynandhobbs]

Just an FYI, but I got in contact with a guy that lives and wheels in Charlemont. He actually lives 4 houses down from the entrace to Dodge Rd and is willing to show us some other roads besides Old Florida, Dodge and Tunnel. He mentioned one called Tory Mountain Rd and there's another he's going to check out tomorrow or Friday once we get there. It's an abandoned road that is legal, but is quite overgrown. There's a EC4WDA group that was going to clear it a little bit, but he hasn't checked to see if they've done it or not. He'll probably join us for a little while over the weekend. I found him through a guy I know over at LIOR.

Looks like 40% chance of showers both Sat and Sun.  High on Sat around 67 and high on Sun of 71.

There are 2 roads that Rob at NTC told us about. One is that Torrey Mountain Road, which is not far from Tunnel Road. I dont know off hand where the other one is yet. But we will have that information with us.

Hey can someone PM me the address of the campground, I might not be able to make the 12 pm caravan but dont want to wait til 4 either.  My son has to go into the hospital at 10 for some testing (nothing serious, just precautionary) and I want to be there for him (he's only 7 and might be a bit scared).  I'll probably be right on the caravans heels so please tell me what channel you guys are transmitting on.

Hey Guy's, I'll be leaving from Colchester around 4:15ish from exit 16. If any one else is leaving around then let me know, PM me a cell # and I'll do the same, so we can hook up for the ride up if you want. I'll be trailering my rig up so I'll be traveling about 60mph.
I'm not sure if the CB will be working for the trip (the speaker doesn't work) but if it is what channel do you guy's use?

How bad are the trails going to be wet??

[calvynandhobbs]

We normally run channel 10 on the CB. I've only run these trails one time, but there is a natural spring that runs water down the whole thing already so other than the rocks being a little more slippery I don't think it will be too bad. It depends on when the rain comes in, but the big puddle at the end of the trail could get a little deep.

MrRock, does your CB have a jack for an external speaker?  if so, you can borrow mine once you get up there.
