I just read the trail info on slaughterhouse and china wall. They sound fun. Pretty sure I am still able to make the 6th work.

FWIW, 8 months ago I heard that Hackett Gulch and Longwater Gulch were still closed from the Hayman Fire. As far as China Wall and/or Slaughterhouse Gulch, I've looked them up and they look like they would be a blast. Can't wait!

ok then, I guess Joel you are lead man for trail selection...

we will dub thee: Trail Yoda!!! Wheel or walk... there is no stuck...

They both look fun from Trail Damage's report, I Like China Wall better

I am so jealous. I wish I could go. Someone find a good excuse to get out of Guard weekend for a day.

So this is the breakdown I have so far. And, yes, I realize that things can change at the last minute.

Rock Lizard, do you think you'll make it? Anyone have some friends that want to go no matter what they drive? www.traildamage.com tends to under-rate their trails so I prefer to use the rating on www.4x4trails.net.

I forgotut this may be my Mom's birthday, at which I won't be going...I'll ask my sister and find out ASAP.

Whoa! You don't know your mom's b-day? :shock:

David, just tell them you need to help a freind cope with post traumatic stress disorder treatment while he is on RR from Iraq :wink:

USAFCOP · **Posted:** Fri Oct 14, 2005 11:44 pm

someone who has done these before...

Would these trails be all right for a stock ZJ and a novice off roader?

From the sounds of it nobody has done these yet. All I can tell you is what the reviews said.

So far so good. I'm in Colorado Springs now, found a house today. Not 100%, but I am pretty sure.

Any chance there's room in one or two rigs for an extra person or two. My buddy and I were hoping to join you guys, but my KJ has no armor and I'm not confident enough off road to go for it. I'd be happy to contribute whatever I need to.

There will be room. Don't sweat it...we'll find a place for you (even if you have to sit with my dog in the backseat :lol:

).

jetson · **Posted:** Sat Oct 22, 2005 10:52 pm

Thanks Skyjump. We certainly don't want to impose, though, so so if there's not room, we just need to know in advance. Otherwise, count me and a buddy in for the 6th.

I don't want to offer up anybody else's KJ here, but generally we have two or three folks that come solo or at least have the backseat wide open. I'm sure they'll chime in sooner or later. We'll get you out there.

broncsrule · **Posted:** Sun Oct 23, 2005 12:51 pm

I will have a seat open in my Jeep. Anyone is welcome to it also.

jetson · **Posted:** Sun Oct 23, 2005 2:11 pm

You guys kick booty...

So did you all decide on China Wall or Slaughterhouse? (You can't spell slaughter without laughter)

Where do you guys find the descriptions of the runs and directions to the TH?

Thanks, guys. I'm looking forward to this...

USAFCOP · **Posted:** Sun Oct 23, 2005 9:47 pm

Hey Jetson, My wife is undecided on wether she is going to come, so I may have 1-2 empty seats depending if I bring the kids or not.

OK, what trail are we doing?

Also are we going to have enough members to show to discuss club issues at the dinner after, or during lunch? I still think we should try to get more organized. Does anyone know if the west bylaws and guides are still posted as templates? I tried to open them a while back, but what can I say, my computer is a POS HP! and it would not open them to print.

So what do you all say?

Most of all, is this all right with you Pete?

KW AV8R · **Posted:** Mon Oct 24, 2005 8:58 pm

This all sounds great. I'm up for just about anything and I, also, would like to see us discuss getting more organized. I may have a backseat open but you'd have to share it with a beagle puppy. Slaughterhouse Gulch and China Wall seem to be the trails we're going on unless someone knows better. And as far as people, this is what we have:

Is there anyone else that wants to go? Can we hear from all those people that said they were interested in off-roading elsewhere in this forum, even if it's a "sorry, can't make it this time."

Kugellager · **Posted:** Tue Oct 25, 2005 11:51 am

I'd consider going but all I have is a stock KJ with the skid plates.

I actually am in the process of ordering the Frankenlift Kit and boulder bars from All J today. If they come in a reasonable amout of time I should be able to get the boulder bars installed by then but I have never installed a lift kit and would probably have to find help for that.

So I guess what I am saying is that I'd like to go but don't know if I would be able to take my vehicle on the trails.
