Redneck Games 2007

[Sharpe]

The date is August 2-5 and location is the Pool Ranch ATV park in Athens. I dont know yet if they are going to allow trucks, if they dont I might not go.

[BMFScout]

Looks like about 45 minutes or so closer to Mesquite. (where I work) About the same from College Station as Alto looks like. If I did bring a truck it wasn't going to be mine!

[FJAggie07]

HAHAHA I know the Pool's!!! And everyone can crash at my ranch, let's get on it!

EDIT: To fill everyone in I am from Athens and the family ranch is in athens...so there is the extra info.

[BMFScout]

I tried telling Jerry you weren't worthless!!! ;)

[Sharpe]

Sweet offer Chris but the night life at the games is really what sets it apart from any other event. I intend to be too hammered to find my way back to my tent this year so leaving to go crash at your place...not a good option. Not to mention when we got there on friday night last year the line at the entrance was over 2 hours long, and it lasted well into saturday afternoon.

[JB]

So is this place anythign like Shiloh?

[BMFScout]

[AggieTJ2007]

its awn, isn't a jeep just a large mule

[BMFScout]

BOOOOO....see below


I'm assuming trucks/jeeps/etc are still allowed at this year's redneck games? Since it was being held at the Pool ATV park I wasn't sure. I won't miss it, but my friends and I wanted to know if we could bring our trucks or not.

Thanks,

Their response:

Trucks / jeeps will NOT be allowed to hit the trails at POOL RANCH but there will be alot of cruising that can be done throughout the campground. Sorry , but that is a POOL RANCH rule,thanks--OSCAR

****s weak

[jerryg79]

Is everyone still gonna go?

There is talk of some Crosby style sleeping equipment that will make the other clientele blush :gigem:

I think me, mike, doug, and karl are gonna go. All with dirt bikes/4 wheelers.

[BMFScout]

I've heard that before! :)

[Sharpe]

Gaddamit. Seeing as how I dont own a 4 wheeler that puts a damper on my fun. I guess the redneck games trailer idea is dead too. BOOOO

I have a reciever hitch on my 4-wheelers ;)


I am still unsure if I am going to be able to make this one (there is a good possibility though). I won't know till a few weeks before hand since I wont know till then when we will be shippin chickens out of here.


I wonder if I could clean out the Roundup good enough from one of my atv mounted spray rigs and keep enough ice in it or insulate it well enough to make it dispense my world famous trashcan punch?!?! I bet I could just pull the pump and cut a small hole for the suction tube in the lid. HMMM, the ideas just keep coming.... :beer:

Hello, uh, patent office? :gigem: :cheers:

You could be a millionaire....like that guy that invented the pet rock! :flipoff2:

[JB]

we still need to go to shiloh at the end of the summer

[davido]

Hmm. Looks like I'll be buying a 4wheeler. Need one for the new place anyway.

[Sharpe]

For those that are still interested in this event, the Girls Gone Wild people are apperently gonna be there. Now whether this will improve the quality (and quantity) of women there is certainly debatable, it will make for some interesting peoplewatching one way or the other. I'm still on the fence...

Damn it. I'm out. One of the 7 of '07 weddings was moved to that Saturday.

[Reckless]

let me check my schedule. if its clean im in

[jabnasty]

Im in for sure.

[AggieMudder]

That place kind of sucks compared to Alto for an event like this. Its mainly four wheeler trails, a big lake back in the woods, and a couple of a small fields to camp in. There probably isnt even a third of the area that there is at Alto to camp so if yall are gonna go, I would get there early. They hosted the Redneck Games Mudigra there back in February and the place was at capacity with a a line of trucks several miles long waiting to get in gate.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I seems that interest in this has kind of dropped once everybody found out about the "no trucks on trails" part, but I finally got everything scheduled right and will be able to make this (barring a catastrophe). I may bring the travel trailer but need to figure out how to haul the 4 wheelers w/ it. Camping is cool, but a/c takes the cake. :D Let me know who all is going and if there is enough people I will start a travel thread for it.

[BMFScout]

I'm out, if trucks were allowed I'd bring El Burro.

Do you live in the house with all the diesels on pronghorn?

[AggieMudder]

I use to live there a couple of years ago. I think all those guys with the diesels moved in the year after I moved out, I just forgot to change my profile address.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

BOOOO ya biatch...

I am debatin on bringing the cheby or not. I don't know if I will be able to get the front driveshaft fixed by then or not. Either way I am going and bringing the rest of that bottle of crown and my bigass thermos. ;)

[mudtoy67]

Bring the Kubota :gigem:

[DRAGOONRANCH]

So is anybody still down for this, or does somebody want to try to get another trip together somewhere else that weekend? I only lack replacin the front cv on the chevy to have it ready to roll out.

[AggieTJ2007]

It would be fun, ide like to go let me know if you still wanna go ed

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I still wanna go. Let's make it a date. :D

I am going to try to make it up there early fri. morning to get a decent spot if possible.

[AggieTJ2007]

I think I am in, anybody else going to go

EDIT: I am in for sure Leaving early saturday morning

[AggieTJ2007]

[JeepPhisherman]

Good lord! Meat flaps and all!

[Sharpe]

Rofl Creighton found the beef(curtains)!

I wanna know WTF beat Gene's ride...

[AggieTJ2007]

it was a three wheeler choper with at b!tch seat

[stx4wheeler]

holy meat curtains batman

[Reckless]

:gigem:

[RCcola55]

how crowded was it?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

There were tonns of people and the main road could get in a snafu and you would sit for an hour at a time, but it did give you a chance to meet folks and get to know the girls that were in the hunt for beads. This brings me to another idea, we need to get together and see if we can get a bulk buy on mardi gras beads for these type of events. Now that we know the layout of the different camping spots, there was tonns of room for camping. It's just that there are 4 or 5 large pastures for camping in different areas. Some would be hard to get to w/ 2wds or motor homes is all. Everybody really missed a good time, I apologize for not getting more pictures. We had to make a decision of drink beer and ride or take pictures and ride and yall lost out. :flipoff2:

Oh yeah, no matter what, the beast is going next year. -pimp-

[Seth]

Just read coverage in the chronicle while waiting for a plane. I knew that paper was a joke.

[Reckless]

Oh yeah, no matter what, the beast is going next year. -pimp-


thats what ya said about clayton last year :flipoff2:

[DRAGOONRANCH]

thats what ya said about clayton last year :flipoff2:

I have a different pit crew this year, the last was a bunch of alkeholicks :flipoff3:

[Reckless]

Me and Creighton never went to an AA meeting, so we are just drunks. Unless you count those Whiskey Tango mechanics that did the axles and t-case.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Creighton forced my hand and I had to give him a promotion to General Manager and the raise that came w/ it blew my budget so I had to fire everybody else and start doing the work myself. Oh yeah, don't try to claim unemployment on me either ya bastid....

[8Runner]

wow:

[Seth]

Dallas? I thought this was houston...?

[FJAggie07]

I thought it was Athens!

First time my hometown has ever been on the national news....I am proud.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

mom said it was on fox a few hours ago.

[Sharpe]

Only 6000 people? I thought there were a shatload more than that at Alto last year?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I am pretty sure that they didn't disclose the "real" numbers for liablity reasons. I am sure there were plenty more than that over the course of the weekend. To get to this place, you have to travel down about twice as much unimproved roads as you do to get to alto. There are plenty of people living down those roads, and most look to be upscale houses, not the trailer trash going into shiloh.
