Since it seems like only 2 people are going to Gilmer that weekend...
I assume this will be the same deal as last time, put in half a day working and do a little wheelin for free.
Here's what we came up for as work priorities, copied from the other thread:

Fullsize friendly trails: go to the extra effort to cut any branches that make your spine tingle as they scrape across your paint. A machete out the window works well. Also the little trees in the middle of the trail that don't get hit by tires, cut them and toss them to the side. There are lots of trails there that are "fullsize-friendly" technically, but just need a little extra work to keep the pinstriping down.
Removing trash/metal: Steve said we could use the trailer that he has there, and it would be perfect for tossing chunks of cable onto. He said we can just dump the metal in the pile with the water heaters. To come prepared to take out metal, we'll need to bring a torch, good gloves, straps that you don't care about (for dragging the cables out of the ground)
Signage: Steve showed me a pile of tposts that were donated, as well as some square pieces of metal for making the signs. There are a few cans of yellow paint for making the posts more visible, and he said he has a tpost driver and stencils for lettering the signs. We need to supply ubolts for attaching the signs to the posts and spray paint for the stenciling. Also probably a drill to punch holes in the signs for the ubolts. And 2 tpost drivers could let multiple groups do this. The idea is to put signs at some of the major trails and at some of the road intersections. Every sign will have an arrow indicating the "easiest way out" as well as "trail __" (numbered) and possibly a rating (1-5), though we could probably put the ratings on the map. These will be at least a 2-step job. First go out and paint all the posts yellow. 3 or 4 people working on this could probably paint them all in a half hour. Next trip get them in the ground, signs hung and painted. Probably a full afternoon on this.

damn, I gotta work. Hopefully I'll get out there one of these days to help clear some trails in that creek. If the whole place isn't one big mud hole come the christmas holidays I'll bring all my brush clearing stuff from back home and really get to it

yeah it ended where we went at last time. It looks real good, took out one of the windshield eating trees but left another one, makes it a little more difficult cause the tree is not holding you up anymore

Alright guys just to bump this thread up:
It is very important that, even though this place is only ten minutes away, we can't treat it as a "come and go as you please"
Steve (Opersteny, the owner) wants to know when we are planning to arrive so that he can meet us as a group at the gate and have us sign the waiver and pay him right then. If you can't make it at the predetermined time, stay home, and at least for a few months I would recommend not even setting foot in the gate until the group is all there and ready to go in. We need to be on our best behavior out there. :cheers:

yes this is true, something i will be discussing at the meeting. from now on we will have exact times of going out there, have a key to get in and locked after we enter. and if it is not designated a work weekend and you dont want to pay you go home.

everybody that goes out there must clear it through me first and i will also need your emergency info before i let you through the gate.

i was informed that some "TCS" members were out there sunday, when our group arrived to work.

if you wish to be a member of the club you need to follow the rules of the club, i dont care if jason or whoever said you could go out there. from now on its going to be different.

sounds like a plan

so, whats on the agenda work-wise for this weekend, and are we going on saturday or sunday
do we need some rattle cans? if we do, ill dig some change out of the couch to get some instead of painting with a dirty-ass toilet brush ziptied to a random metal scrap

The owner seems like a decent guy, but WE are the ones OFFERING to improve the land and he will be the one profiting. I think he could cut us a little slack on times getting there.

i think the TAMOR leadership is also concerned about this becomming a come and go type of thing where there is no set schedule and unlimited liability, since we'll be out there working under the tamor name

and my posts are disapearing!

I'm sure he doesn't mind us being out there and helping out, but I think alot of things that have happened out there have made him concerned. Especially when he doesn't know who's out there, I mean what would happen if someone was seriously injured and he didn't know anyone was there cuz no one signed in and gave contact info? Theres a chance for lawsuits and he is the one who is liable. It's just best for everyone to go at one time and sign in so he doesn't have to continually go back in forth to unlock the gate, I mean he has other things to do.

As decided at the meeting last night, this trip will leave from the McDonalds on University at 10am Sunday November 13
if you get to McDonald's late and the group is gone, do not come out and try to get in.
post up if you're going and get your info (name, phone, ssn, next of skin and their contact info) to the Prez (coop), VP (frick) or Safety officer (Travis?).
Also, somebody needs to step up to take lead role on this one, I'm not going.

Alright who is still interested in going???? I dont mind leading a trip but I dont want to go out if there are only one or two trucks.

JB
11-11-2005, 01:07 PM
I will know for sure by tonight if my work schedule will let me come out Sunday. But if it does, I would not be able to get out there until 1-2pm. My friend offered his bottles and torch, and we could cut out some of those cables. But he would need to get the bottles filled up today. IF it is not too much $$, then i can pay for that.

Clean out your box. I can't sent you a PM. Anyways, I am damn busy today, and probably won't be able to ride out at LB, maybe next weekend

Garrett thanks for stepping up, we really need to let Steve know this afternoon whether we are going or not, so post up if you still want to go

Shaggy
11-11-2005, 01:56 PM
i wanna go but 10 might be too early i am getting waisted saturday... we will see if i show up or not

73bronco
11-11-2005, 02:14 PM
well right now its just me, so unless someone else posts up this probably isnt going to go down

agjohn02
11-11-2005, 03:48 PM
make it later and i might consider attending

1-2pm

73bronco
11-11-2005, 11:04 PM
Alright heres the deal, if we want to go later there is no point in doing a work weekend, so we'd have to pay. Doesnt matter to me, but everyone interested in a sunday trip needs to post up when they'd be able to come. Try to do this as soon as possible so I can let steve know.

agjohn02
11-12-2005, 08:29 AM
do we have to hold hands and all wear the same color shirt while we're out there?

J Cooper
11-12-2005, 05:54 PM

Stone150
11-13-2005, 12:09 AM
well i am not too sure if i can make it, if we want at 10 i could spend some time put there till 1 or 2 but if we go at 1 i will only be out ther for an hour or two and still hae to pay $10 so i'll just have to see

RCcola55
11-13-2005, 12:07 PM

J Cooper
11-13-2005, 12:12 PM
ya, i dont think im gonna be able to make it though, i have like 3 group papers/projects due in like a week. but i told steve we would be there by 1:15. i might be able to make it but if i dont someone needs to be in charge, garrett? when you get there just intro. yourself to steve and just tell him that your in charge of the group for the day.

11-13-2005, 07:07 PM

Stone150
11-13-2005, 09:16 PM
well 3 of us showed up at 1 and we called BVORR, and they said they had some group at 2 and we decided to meet up then but i couldn't so not too sure if anyone showed up

J Cooper
11-14-2005, 12:53 PM

wow, not only can we not get anybody to go on a real trip, we can't even get people together for a trip 10 minutes away. This is still an off-road club, right? How about the new members who haven't been out with us yet? Congratulations, you just missed a(nother) perfect opportunity to get involved.

I say there should be a form of democracy in each "regime". Those who choose to fall beneath the governing of 218 will do so and have their say, and the same for 1224. This will be quite exciting seeing the two "giants" clash...I myself can be found underneath the governing of 218. :flipoff2: :laughing:

I say a battle of rigs. Somewhat like top truck challenge. 1224 gets pigpen, garret's eb, and andy's scout vs. 218 Frick's Bronc (once he gets it here), Coop's Jeep, and the billy goat. Whatever rig from whatever side comes out on top takes it. The battle should be held at 47 later or on the Clayton trip.
