Title: Roll Call for October trail run October 3rd
Post by: calvynandhobbs on September 29, 2009, 02:17:10 AM
This seemed to work pretty good for the Jeep Rally so I figured I would do it for the run coming up this weekend also. I'm planning on being at the Groton townhouse at 7:45 for departure by 8:00. If there is another group that wants to meet somewhere else post it up.

You would make it a little ways up the trail by picking some of the easier lines and then would have to jump in with somebody else.

What is the estimated return time?


Not sure yet, but I doubt if we'll be back before 4pm, especially if we add onto the run with a second trail as we've been discussing on the members side.

If it rains on Saturday this place will jump up in difficulty, even the bypasses will become challenging.

With all the different lines available we could spend the day going to the top of the hill and back over and over.

I agree with Will on this. The only way I would want to incorporate a second trail is if it is a nice day. If it's raining we'll probably stay at the first sight and just try different lines.

I ran into a few members of your group at Smith's jeep a few weekends ago.  I am interested in joining your club, how do I go about this?  I would like to go to the October trail run this weekend.  Any information would be great, thanks

Rock, where was it that you guys met last time off of 2? We can probably make a meeting spot in the same place. It looks like shane that just posted today for the first time may be coming with us.

Forgive me for being selfish but I would like to take mine.  The whole point for me going today was to take my stock TJ down MaBell.  I mouthed off to an FJ owner and now I feel I have to answer for it.  I hope you understand.

I'm getting ready to leave the house, but I love the attitude. I think either one will be fine. You'll just have to pick your lines a little more carefully.

We're back and we had a great time. The rocks were wet and slick and made it a lot different from the last time I was there. As far as I know the area on the back side of committed is off limits so I didn't lead the guys back there at all. We turned around at the top of the hill.

Jeremy, if want to the next time we go there we'll use a winch and back your Taco down Commited so you can try to come back up. The last I had heard is that the area past the top of the hill was closed so we did not venture past there, but we did walk down to Commited so everyone could see it.

there was some confusion about going past there a while back when we ran into that other club. they said that it was off limits. axle was supposed to talk to toxic about it but toxic was out of town or something. i don't know if he ever talked to him or not.

So how did you do with the stocker TJ???

I have nothing to be ashamed of.  I made it to the top of MaBell.  I also only had to use the side trail once.  Even then it wasn't until I gave the obstacle several good tries.  I feel that if it hadn't been raining I would have conquered that obstacle as well.  I look forward to the November run and also look forward to putting the MaBell kill sticker on the side of the TJ!  I will admit though that in the beginning of the trail I did wonder if I had bitten off more that I could chew.  NOPE!
This was taken about mid way up.  I am the orange TJ in the middle.
