What about the deposit?

Anyone with a checkbook can write it. Nothing will happen. And then steve said he'll rip it up when we leave. No worries, there's nothing we will mess up out there anyways. Also, he said that he was making every club that comes out front a deposit.

Hunnerd fifty. I may try and call him up and see if we can work around it.

02-22-2011, 05:51 PM

Serioulsy, I do not understand him sometimes. What is $150 going to fix on that property? I sure wouldn't be writing him a check.

I don't recommend anyone write a check unless they can afford to and choose to because the club will not be responsible he doesn't refund your money.

Not trying to start another one of those fights where the club reigns down the wrath of God against the officers, but since it is a club trip, why doesn't the club write the check?

If damage is done to the park (highly unlikely,) then the financial responsibility should be passed on to whomever is responsible for it.

This has been discuss at the meetings and is slightly more complicated than that, I'm not saying it is not an option just the club needs to decide thats what they want to do first. Really we need more details as to what the deposit is exactly for.

02-22-2011, 09:31 PM

You need to find out what type of damage he is so concerned about.

MR.ZAP

02-22-2011, 09:42 PM

E-mailing him now.

That was the issue, the club needs to know exactly what it will be held liable because we all know $150 won't really fix anything. Sounds like a good job for the VP.

edit- too slow, good job Zach

Another reason why facebook group is anti-productive, planning trips should stay on the boards and facebook at most should be used for reminders and information

Couldn't agree more but when ten or twelve guys aren't on the forums, it creates a communication breakdown.

I agree! But it's detrimental to the club if we sit around and say oh well that's their fault, know what i mean?

No, the facebook group creates a communication breakdown, it was a lot simpler and proven effective before

Cool run. That 3:30 meeting time reminded me that we use to meet at McDs at 6:30AM (and hit the road sharply at 7AM) to make our day runs to Ft. Hood and back. Long days!

I don't think it is open any longer and it was a LONG haul from what I have heard. TAMOR has it much easier now with 47 being so close, it definitely goes better with college lifestyle. Even though 3:30 does seem a little late to meet up to wheel. :)

There was TORCS racing until four. We wheeled til it was dark. Would have loved to gotten out there earlier.

One is Kyle, and the other is Noah's friend. He said he wants to join but I don't think he has yet. For the life of me, i cannot remember his name.

It does look like ya'll had a good run and a good turn out!

I think the crowd that ya'll had out there would be PERFECT for Canyons, lots of creek beds and trail riding for the 33" crowd that would be challenge and a blast without a huge risk of body damage or breaking if you didn't want to. Ya'll should plan a trip out there maybe for the fall. :gigem:

Yeah one of my plans over the summer is to confer with the other officers and get some runs to various parks together with dates set ahead of time. It's great to be able to say hey, let's go wheel this weekend, but by the same token it's nice to be able to plan around a run rather than the other way around. I think runs to 47, Alto, Canyons, Katemcy, and maybe Bridgeport would be cool. And maybe even something really new like Hot Springs, Arkansas or some of the other places in West Texas.

02-28-2011, 11:46 AM

There were some old timers at Canyons that went on and on about how fun Superlift Park in Hot Springs is. I would really like to go.

Agree with the others, 47 is a cool place. Unfortunately, I got a little too confident with that huge hill in my stock cruiser. Made it up to the very top where it got even steeper and lost traction, most likely due to my crappy tires. Reversed back down and didn't readjust myself well enough for my lack of approach angle in the rear (aka big a$$). Ended up tearing off a rear mudflap, which jacked up my rear fender flare, and bending up my exhaust. Wanted to keep wheeling, but the rear half my exhaust/resonator was dragging in the dirt and didn't want to **** it up anymore. I also got a CEL from the bent exhaust kinking the flow. Limped it home and cut it off before the kink. I'm going to see if I can't bend it back and then just have a random shop weld it back together. I'm going to trim the rear flaps so hopefully they won't get ripped off be me running over them again.

Overall fun place, I'd like to go back, and it being so close is a huge plus. I also definitely need to start modding my rig, not being able to hang with JK's is just sad :flipoff2::flipoff2::flipoff2:

I'd just take them completely off if I were you. In the long run, mud flaps are more trouble than they're worth. All they do is get hung up on crap.

I'll admit, I'm jealous of your guys' wheel base and stance. Me taking that land cruiser on those trails is like driving a bus in the bike lane. Too narrow!

Little more clearance and you'd be golden! And some more off-road oriented tires.

I can totally vouch for that me and two friends made a week trip to hot springs staying 3 days at superlift and 3 days at the lake. Superlift park is BADASS and I was able to do almost all the trails. they have great places to tent and park RV's and stuff like that too
