We can make another trip this summer lol. My girlfriend found out that that's the weekend of her LAX championship too, so it's just bad all around.

Gageraid and +1, pwdrskier, libertygirl09, and csmith515: any updates on if you're able to join us on the trip?

Anyone else interested in joining?

My skid plates should be here any minute now...
I can't go if it's on Saturday.

Wish I could. I'm a warehouse manager. My coworker only does morning shifts leaving me with the night shifts.
Really wish I could go since I had fun my first time off the beaten path not long ago.

You could pull a REALLY long day haha

I really wanna see what it's like at Rausch. My buddy kept telling me "it's no joke" there.
I'd imagine stock Libby could get through a fair amount, and a more hooked up Libby would surprise most people, but I've never seen the terrain.

Me either! So you should come hahaha.

Finally got someone from NVJA interested in joining the ride. He's got a '15 JKUR, 3" BDS lift, and 35" Nitto MTs.

DoubleK was there along with a few other Lost people over the years. Stock you'll be fine, just stick to greens and some blues. Lifted and done up you can do most of the blues I believe. I've never personally been there, but I've seen pics and videos. You can go from trails, to mud, to rocks pretty quickly. The KK will be fine, just be smart about it.

Also from what I'm told, stay away from trials with names(yellow jacket etc). Those are the ones with mud holes that will swallow trucks on 40s and massive boulders. There was a guy that lives on LI that rolled his built TJ a few years ago at Rausch.

Head to the NE section and look around in there. I think the pics are there. Go back to 2011, 2010 etc.

My Jeep is still in the shop waiting on parts so I wont know if I can make it until just before.

Ok, NAM, I am a definite for the day! I'm still in the process of trying to get more passengers and at least another vehicle.

Cool, I have a hiccup currently on my side...I have to work an 18-06 Friday night May 8th. But I'm looking to switch with someone so that I can go and enjoy this trip! I'm currently working on mapping out our path for the trails. I'm not going to go above blue with the exception of some black with side trails to go around black obstacles.

HEY, I want my KK to come out of Rausch as it came in!!!

The only thing I'm most worried about are my plastic rockers. My passenger side has 2 more clips till it comes off, but am not ready yet for a set of rock sliders and my transmission.

So going the 9th will be my first time there.

Those plastic "rockers" hardly count hahaha. I ripped mine off because it made it look taller haha. And what about the transmission?

Like I said, stay off the trails with names and you should be ok....as long as you don't stray from blues haha. If you guys stay the night I think there's a few hotels that will give discounts if you say you're going to Rausch. Not sure which ones though.

PALiftedKK · **Posted:** Thu Apr 30, 2015 8:10 pm

NAM, can you please define where and what time we are meeting? Are we meeting at Rausch, or will we convoy over from somewhere else.

Also, everyone attending, please attempt to have a CB radio in the vehicle.

To those of you listed as maybe on the first page, you should know by now if you can attend.

Anything else I missed NAM?

So let's meet at the Pilot off 81, here's the address:

482 Suedberg Rd, Pine Grove, PA 17963

Let's meet up at 0800 May 9th. If this needs to be later please let me know, I think I have the furthest distance to drive though. Rausch opens at p800 Saturday so I wanted to avoid stupid amounts of traffic haha. Lets group here and then we'll convoy the 15min drive to Rausch. (There's closer gas stations but I'm privy to Pilots haha).

If you have CBs good, but it seems we're running a very small group so I think we'll be able to communicate easily still haha.

Please do announce for sure if you're able to come, though...I know BMX and Gage have work. Updates from everyone else?

If you haven't paid your Rausch membership/fees please do.
