First trip of the year, Down South Off-Road 9-10

[BroncoJo]

We are hoping to make this a good first trip for new members, it's an easy 1.5-2 hour drive from College Station and has a pretty good variety of wheeling. Plan on making this a day trip and for anyone interested we'll be leaving out of north gate sometime in the morning.

*Also all student members wanting to help at the Chupacabra 300 are highly recommended to come out, because we will require attendance to 1 safety seminar before the race.

Ice chest with plenty of water or other beverages

[stx4wheeler]

Cool glad to see a trip so soon after the mall meeting. Make sure and tell people to bring their swimsuits.

I am a definite maybe for this one.

[Shaggy]

looks like fun...might be a bit far for a day trip for me though. Anyone have a place for me, wife and kid rest of weekend?

[KrazyKarl02]

As I posted in the other thread, I will probably have the Klogger out there. Maybe you guys could set a time to meet at Northgate, so I could estimate what time you would be out there.

[TdmayfieldIV]

Too broke. Saving for Alto. And I have to work.

[MR.ZAP]

I am thinking McDonalds at around 9? Thoughts?

[sam_hodnett]

I have to go pick up my pistol first, but 9 should be good

[MR.ZAP]

[KrazyKarl02]

So what rigs are coming to this?

Travis - Baja Dodge
Karl - Klogger
Mr. Zap - Jeep
Frick - Yamaha 4 wheeler

You guys got any newbs?

[TdmayfieldIV]

The mall meeting that is at Sam's club??

I won't be meeting at northgate because I plan on getting into Houston early so I can drop the dog off, and with that being said I'll have the back seat open but you'll have to share with Hondo.

Hopefully there will be a bunch of new guys. I would like to have 10+ rigs.

[sam_hodnett]

I know kyle and garret said they were coming... a new kid with a raptor acted like he was gonna come... I dont know about Evan

[NealtheDestroyr]

Ill go if someone has an open seat

[MR.ZAP]

Should be plenty of open seats

[JB]

I will try to bring out the Honda. Has this been mentioned on the FB page?

Tommy this would be a great shake down run so you aren't chasing problems in ALto.

posted on FB a couple hours ago and the website, should see more interest after the mall meeting, that's at Sam's Club.

[TdmayfieldIV]

I want to go, but I'm moving around right now and I just don't have the money for fuel. With two trips in October I really need to save my pennies. I have been driving it around for a week without any issues so far.

[sam_hodnett]

Should be plenty of open seats

I still have your passenger seat right?

[stx4wheeler]

Tommy get the transmission there and you will have some money.

[redcagepatrol]

Hmm - Busa borrowed my trailer - and we plan to head to SA, so I guess we are out.

[MR.ZAP]

I still have your passenger seat right?

Yeah man!

[Shaggy]

give us a call. Mason would love to play with your boys

[BroncoJo]

updated with some more information

[MR.ZAP]

So the for sures are as follows...

Me
Sam (riding)
Karsten (riding)
Travis (maybe riding)
Matt (riding)
Kyle
Noah
Caleb
Karl
And then multiple random new guys

Pretty good list...

[sam_hodnett]

Travis is taking his truck i think

[KrazyKarl02]

I will be there in the large 4 door apocalypse of the dead

[NealtheDestroyr]

I need a seat

[sam_hodnett]

I need a seat

just show up to mcdonalds, it wont be a problem to find one.

[BroncoJo]

Being that I drive a dodge... I need a couple trail seats, me and the girlfriend, Karl?

[tommy53002]

<<<<Need seat, has beer.

[NealtheDestroyr]

I has beer as well.

[KrazyKarl02]

<<<< Has seats, drinks beer!

The klogger is a family vehicle. I will probably not stay too late, but I will have my front pass seat open, this is a premium seat as it has a seat belt. The rear bench is also open, I have seen it hold 4 to 5 grown ass men, This is a non-premium seating area as it does not have seat belts, I do have the rear doors on, they sometimes fly open.....

What happened to Sparling? Have not seen him on here in a while. Where is everyone's favorite pot smoking pizza flavored bronco driver, he is from Houston, this should be a no brainer for him.

Another thing to remember is the river/beach area you can drive a car back to. I literally saw a guy in a pontiac bonneville back there once.

UP grenades the transfer case last night possibly. I gave him a tug home (which is in college station now btw.)

I'm assuming that UP = HP

I'm assuming when you said you gave him a tug you meant...in that special Ed way.

The seats taken. When do yall plan to meet at the park?

[KrazyKarl02]

If you guys meet at Northgate at 9, I would estimate you will leave Northgate at 9:30. At 9:45 you will stop to get gas and get back on the road. Then at 10:00 some other DA will notice he also needs gas and you will stop again.... This will make the 2 hour drive, 2.5 hours, so I would think you all will be getting there at noon. I will likely get some Whataburger or something on the way there and be there by 11:30.

Here is how I would drive there:

[MR.ZAP]

I thought Tommy said he wasn't going?:flipoff2:




I will be there on my yamaha.

[BroncoJo]

I posted directions in the first post

[tommy53002]

I'll be at the park at 11:30

[stx4wheeler]

Sounds good Tommy, Karl and myself should be there about that time. Ill be in a metallic blue F-250 with my white and blue 4 wheeler in the back.

The parking lot is shaped like a big L to the right of the sign in shack, follow it around and we usually park at the end of it under the small pine trees.

[KrazyKarl02]

I'll be in the Crew Cab Duramax with black trailer with winch on it, towing the giant white piece of crap.

[MR.ZAP]

Piece of elegance....

[JB]

I am going to be there when I get there.

[JB]

It was a good trip. We had 4 JKs, 1 XJ, 1 ZJ, Klogger, and 3 assorted ATVs. The trails are pretty dry, but I think everyone had a good time. Klogger ran out of gas and Jeff sunk his XJ. We got the plugs pulled on it and it shot out plenty of water. The interior got a little soaked as well. Hopefully he made it home using a t shirt as an air filter.

[tommy53002]

I had a great time. It was nice meeting everyone. Thanks to everyone that let me hitch a ride. I took a few pictures and vids on my phone. I will put them up when I'm not feeling lazy.

[JB]

Anyone have pics of the gator? At one of the ponds, there was a friggin gator swimming around. People were ****ing with him. Nuts.

Assert your dominance! haha. It never got close enough for a pic after it got scared away the first time.

[NealtheDestroyr]

Almost had to choot it.

Looks good! Did not realize Deluxe=Noah.

So I guess the XJ made it back to CS?

[Deluxe]

Yeah he made it back. Think he stopped and picked up a filter on the way home and made it fine.

[stx4wheeler]

Man looks like you all had a good time after I left!
