Cliffs Run (Marseilles, IL) - Nov. 14th

callaway · **Posted:** Wed May 06, 2009 12:04 am

I'm definitely down with a trip to the cliffs - hopefully I'll have the CJ running :twisted:

I want to reiterate a few things Jayme said...

- Small groups would work best. Large caravans like what we've run at the Badlands will not work with the topography and trails here.
- If you are thinking about going you must have full skids and must have full front AND rear recovery
- A lift would also be most helpful
- Be aware the is an excellent chance of body damage here - even on the green starter trail

Now that I've scared away potential takers, when are we going ?

As long as it hasn't rained for a good week prior to the trip I'm down with anytime. Late July? Anytime in August?

what should be brought along for this trip off-road wise...

I got the bag of goodies (canvas tow rope, shackles, chains, tree-saver)

I think thats good, cause I KNOW Tom will get stuck :twisted:

I typically follow the "when in doubt, don't" rule of thumb.

Since when has that been the game plan ?

Not sure yet. I was gonna wait until it got closer to decide... for weather reasons, mostly.

Yea weather is going to be the determining factor for me as well - Hopefully it will be snowy and cold like last year with minimal mud.

Was more wondering for renting a trailer if I should reserve one for the weekend of if a day rental would be ok...

How much notice do you have to give in order to rent one?

I need to go in to reserve either way ( for the weekend or a day ) at least a week before. Unless I can find someone with a trailer they'll borrow out...

I want to go but it would only be for the Saturday for me.

STINGN · **Posted:** Wed Oct 28, 2009 2:03 am

I don't mind camping in the cold. I don't know if I'd camp if we still have excessive rain like we have been having these last few weeks.
