yo dude....not usre if you saw my other post towards you earlier...i was just up in Buffalo national Park back over the 4th...great area...wish I could have spent more time over there to find some trails...maybe before I head back to school we can meetup somewhere and do some wheeling and camping or whatnot....of course pending your schedule...i'm looking at soing something the first weekend of august and hopefully making it a Meet-n-Greet for those lost members that can make it...I just need to find a place where we can all meet...i'd like to get everyone together around that time as well b/c i will also have the Southern lost decals in by then and can just hand them to people rather then shipping them out to them. Let me know if you think there would be anything you can do to help me/us set up something like that...THANKS!!!!

OK folks this is what i would like to see...if you are interested in going on Sunday August 6 to Wheelin In the Country (WITC is located in Summertown, TN) for a Meet-N-Greet Trail Ride...I'm thinking for those that are near the Memphis area we could meet off of Stage Road (or Rt-64 to others) at the Steak-n-Shake near the I-40 #17 exit. I'm thinking of a 730-8am firm meet time at the S-N-S so that we can get on the road to get out to WITC by 1130 or so. From what I've calculated and seen on my Microsoft MapPoint it takes about 3.5 hours to get there no matter which way you go...I-40 and then rural roads or just going down Rt-64. Personally I think the I-40 route might be quicker, but that is me. I'm planning on having the Southern lost decals in my possession by then from Don (pixeldzn) so I can dispurse those out to those that have already ordered them. The only thing that stinks about WITC is the $15 driver AND rider fee they charge, but I hope it will be worth it. For all general purposes I am going to include the website of the place so you can do further research and whatnot...http://www.wheelininthecountry.com/index.html I hope that this event can happen and be a good way to get Southern lost "kick-started" into becoming a major lost Chapter that it could be. Also lets all try and see if we might be able to head down towards the New Orleans, LA area in December if possible, I know jason thompson would really appreciate it since he has tried and tried to get us down there to ride with him AND it would be a great way to help keep this Southern Chapter momentum going. Please post any thoughts you might have...THANKS!!!!

i would sugest useing extreme caution when going to a place like this ,private land that others use
i found my self one time on a trail that was susposed to be "easy" but when i got going i found that some of the mud was over my tires not counting the water
at the time i was running 33"s and 5" lift on a ford ranger
the guys that knew the area said i would have some problems but would be mostly ok
i got stuck ,framed out, in the first hole

again if you go this route use caution

Would I even be able to do anything since my rides completly stock?

from some of the discussion i have seen on the websites forum it seems that a lot of stock rigs usually go and do fine due to the upkeep of the trails...do you have tow hooks at least?

I also just got an e-mail from one of the guys that frequents the park and says that there are lots of viewing areas to see the built rigs taking some of the tougher trails they have available...there was another guy that responded back to me as well saying that he might be there on August 6th as well...just throwing this out there but they have primitive camping that is available too and it is free...anyone interested in going up saturday aug 5, perhaps that evening

what about a little afternoon meet n greet at a local bar
on maby tues 10/10 or wed 10/11
we will be pasing through memphis for a day then going to nashville then over to murphy NC for the jeepjambo on the 13-15
we will be in the TJ not the KJ but thats no reason to not hook up and meet
I will probably have my photo album of our local trips to show off if yall are interested that may also boost interest in yall driving down to our area for a ride

Either day will work, just let me know...I'll be in classes on Wed, but if you get in Wed night we could meet up, Tuesdays i work since I just have classes on M-W-F, but can get off in the afternoon if your passing through/visiting then...got quite a few bars in different parts of the town to go too...of course we got Beale Street, but what's your style of bar?? (Fraternity boy here so I know some places of different style)

quick update on the ride -see topic
it will be at a new place that i have not yet seen I may or may not go if i get a few other KJ's and it is KJ friendly then probably will
if you are interested even maby look at a map follow I-55 south to the LA/MS border it's a few miles from there
it will be on 8/20 probably meet up in the area for 8-9:00 am

8/20 is the day before school starts for me...there is no way the parents are gunna let me leave town then....whatcha got going on around Labor Day weekend...I want to make a trip somewhere...It may end up being in Arkansas somewhere camping for the weekend or canoeing or whatnot...you interested in meeting up there anywhere if possible...we recently got a few new guys from Arkansas joining the ranks of lost so maybe they can find some cool spots for us to wheel and camp?

probably not labor day
i will be doing a quite a few mods on the TJ between now mid october when i head to the jeepjambo near telico
so staying out will be tight ,I need the weekends to work on my junk
if the clubs do something local we may go in the KJ
I was thinking that a ride the weekend after thanksgiving would be cool that is a 3 day weekend for most and we could travel further unless i decide to breake something at the jambo then its back to money being tight

you know the old saying
Just
Empty
Every
Pocket
and i have 2 to go with that

affirmitive on the J.E.E.P. - I should be saving up for some belly armor and some better rock rails....i'm also thinking about converting to 4.10 gears front and rear since I'm running the 255s and once they are gone maybe 265s...but yea that Nov/Thanks. Run has sounded good since you mentionmed earlier in the month...i just don't recall where you said it was...I know it was private land but where exactly???/ MS or LA or AR??? good luck on the TJ Project(s) b4 the JJ.

LA/MS border area we would do it on the cheep
with a few bucks for the land owner and camp out primative style

Sounds good to me...I can handle that...got a friend in Hattiesburg i need to call too and see what wheeling there is around that area.....

OK here is what I got first the November idea is out ,hunting lease, no jeeps at that time of year
second we will be going riding on 8/20 ,it's a sunday, near the LA/MS border
from what i hear this will be a good run because the "smaller rigs" will be able to go and wach the "big guys" break stuff

I have not been but I know that a grand with a budget boost ran it with no problems if you want to go post up or PM me for more details
i want to say that we need to be in the area for around 8:30 or 9:00 am

i won't be able to make that run sadly b/c college resumes classes the next day and the parentals have already started the lockdown for that weekend...sorry...any chance of anotehr location for Thanksgiving???

That sucks but being a little older I will side with them ,school is more important
as far as some place else for thanksgiving I am out as afr as places worth going for more than 3 or 4 hours at a time
I will have my wife look into the desoto forest thing ,she likes doing that kind of stuff, and post up what we find out if any thing
