Owning a CJ is for manly men, they allows you to do manly stuff like auto mechanics and welding and drinking beer. Manly men own CJs. Manly men do not drive hummers, they receive them.

I thought the time on the trail was 3 hours???  An Hour up, 3 hours on the trail, and an hour back, any one else remeber it like that?  I know it was raining hard on the way back, and we had to slow down just to see.

I just checked yahoo maps, it is about an hour from my house to the ride. If we leave at 9, get there by 10, start riding by 10:30, finish by 1:30-2:30, my house by 3:30.

the extra time between arival/start, and finish/leave is due to airing down (and swaping wheels).  You could leave as soon as we exit the trail if you had too.

Is this better for everyone than leaving at 8?

I think TJ777 and Tsunami will have differing opinions on this, unless TJ777 leaves the boat straight for my house (30 min drive).  then we would be back around 2:30 ish.

TJ777 and Tsunami, talk to see what is agreeable to both of you and PM me w/ the answer.  I'll then post the leaving time (not arrival. on the road at 0X00).

I've been on that trail before.  It's a good beginner run.

So I worked out a deal with a guy at work he is gonna come in and relieve me at 0700 so if it is possible to change at your house rocket I can make it as soon as I get out. I need directions to your house rocket when I came out there the other day I was following roger. Thanks I hope that can help out tsunami. Does any one want me to bring a set of spare control arms I have all my stock ones still?

PS:I just finshed painting and installing my rear fender flares finally.

Ok, so we are meeting at 0800 at my house.  Tsunami, i think you can make it back to mystic by when you need to be there.  We would be back here around 2:30.

However, on a trail, things can, and do, go wrong.  Something breaks, a tree is across the trail, etc.  So, if it takes longer than the estimate, that is a risk you will have to take.
