    Thx,



    If I get back from Rubicon Round-Up with my Jeep in one piece I'll have an open seat for the Fordyce trip.

    I never said I wasn't going. 😉 I'd like to figure a way and am working on it. 😀 Plus, even Alex was threatening to go. 😲

    If I stay behind Keane on the trail, I should be going slow enough that I shouldn't break anything 😂

    Of course, if you do break it'll be yet another Jeep that I have to drag out of the trail with the 4Runner. 🙄 😀

    Wife has prior plans that afternoon/evening so I won't be able to make it. 🙁

    I'm thinking we'll meet at 7:30 at Sweet Peas for breakfast. Then we can meet the others [that don't want to do breakfast] at 8:30 at Starbucks.



    The plan is to run down to the first water crossing and see how high the flow is. If it's too high for 33" tires, then we'll have lunch, play around, and head back out.



    If the flows look low enough, we may go farther, but I'm guessing we'd have a hard time getting the 33" tires up Winch Hill #1. So, I don't want to push it. This is going to be a fun, easy, intro to Fordyce. Besides, Elena is going and I want to get her used to rock crawling so she'll want to go again. Break her in slowly.



    Finally, I don't want to get too far in because it will just be that much harder strapping you off the trail 😁 We can run all the way through some other day. Let's keep it simple.

    John is your passenger seat still available?

    We can always just run to winch hill 1 and turn around there. Some fun rocks up to that point and not to hard, turn around and head back out..All based on water flows though.

    No, my Jeep is full. But, I think Fred is going to have an open seat. Stay tuned.

    If you really want a fun ride, see if Kevin has an open seat 😏

    That's true, but I was worried about the mud pit.

    I talked to a friend of mine who said it is not a problem anymore, drying out pretty fast..

    I'll have an open seat as well if you don't mind being seen in a Jeep with puny 33" tires. 😁

    It's not the tires that are the issue. We've got to get Mark rolling in his own rig so he doesn't have to be seen in a Jeep. 😀

    I'm out for this weekend. I took out a tire on Rubicon and won't have time to get it replaced in time for this trip. 😢

    Don't need a spare when your tires are made of Kevlar 😁

    Probably not taking one either, just switched rims and haven't swapped my spare tire over to a spare rim yet. Got a ton of plugs though and hopefully the beadlocks hold 😀
