Commencement is December 16th, so this years trip will be Friday December 16th to Sunday December 18th

For those of you who are not familiar, this is annual trip done at the end of the Fall Semester. Typically we head to Clayton, Ok the Thursday after school finishes. Wheel Friday and Saturday at Green Acres Off Road Area, then head home Sunday. You can camp out at Green Acres if you are brave, but most of us stay in a hotel.

Colman - I'll let you guess which one

I am in leaving Thursday towing my ranger

In with bronco leaving Thursday if I don't sell it.

i will be leaving thursday towing my newish black cj, unless i buy something off cl between now and then. If i back out this year again drinks are on me friday night. that should help motivate me to blow off work and come wheeling

I want to make the trip this year, but will need to ride with someone. Willing to help with gas and expenses. I live in lockhart so hopefully someone in that area of the state. But willing to drive to Houston to met up. Anyone I can ride with?

IN, leaving Thursday. Have a room at A&A

In.

I'm in.

In. Got a room and plane ticket.

Elise and I are in. Staying at the A&A. Bringing the JKU and maybe the Tate Jeep also.

If anyone needs a tow rig. Got permission to use my father 2016 chevy 3500 dully High Country. It's located in houston so something in that area would be better.I have a 16ft trailer but it's not full width.

i just booked the last room at the a&a main, there is still rooms available at the annex

After last nights meeting, I've got 20 current members who are planning on making it up there this year. We are pushing the forum pretty hard, so hopefully we will start to see activity pick up a bit with the current members and they will chime in on their plans. Out of the 20, majority will be passengers but we hope to have at least 5 rigs coming with us (they have two months to break/get fixed, so we'll see. Y'all know how that goes). We also pitched a t-shirt design contest at the meeting, alum are welcome to join in on the contest as well - just post your design on this thread.

1 King room booked at A&A

Is the forum still set up so that someone has to approve members before they can post? I recall that I had to bug someone at the meetings (a few times) to make my account able to post. I don't know if that is still the case, but if you're pushing the forum, you might check it out.

Good to hear, I would also like to formally submit my entry for the t-shirt design contest, a picture of my entry is below:

Myself, The Chief, Leaving from College Station with the jeep in tow (plan on breaking... a lot), passengers will be Collin, Devon and Sid. Camping in the jeep or a tent with a heater... No money for the hotel room, its all going into the jeep!

If you're camping, just be aware it can get cold as fukk. I'm a thin skinned ***** when it comes to cold weather, and people have camped there, but in years past it's gotten down into the teens and we got sleet one year.

thats what im expecting, hence having the space heater. thinking i might run a power outlet set up with an inverter so i can plug in one or two of them up to stay nice and toasty. in theory anyways.. but thanks for the heads up!

I will be making the trip out to Clayton this year. It is my second year in the club and I will be bring my Jeep. The plan is for my dad and me to trailer it up there and camp.

I only have a few more things on the to do list before Clayton.

-Add aussie locker up front
-oil pan skid
-Find some spare axle shafts (Dana 30)

I have some spare TJ 30 shafts I'll bring for anyone that needs them. I don't anymore.

This might be a damn good year! I need to get the scout down to dallas and start going over my very short list of things to do. mainly brakes, some small wiring issues, and I need to get a new wheel. Interested to see how the gas half ton hauls the scout.

Just talked to my brother Jason. He is likely coming too. Finally put a new engine in his TJ.

Just want to mention that I still have an Open trailer. Don't want to take my 48 2A to Clayton. I have a 16th utility trailer that i can use. Its 76 inches wide inside the rails. I got permission from my old man to use his 16 Chevy 3500 DRW High Country for the Trip. Truck is Located in Houston, so if anyone needs a rig hauled I can help. I just ask for Shotgun on the trail.

Trailer spot has been claimed

Lots of carnage at Hidden Falls this past weekend across the group. Ended up snapping my TJ 35 driver side shaft. As much as I would love to upgrade to a 44, it's not in the budget. If you (or anyone else in the thread) happen to know of a spare 35 shaft laying around and wouldn't mind bringing it to clayton, please let me know. (Disclaimer: I'm not planning on wheeling in clayton, just spectating)

The Jeep will be there. Ordered new tires Saturday and the seals for the front axle.

Will be there Thursday evening / afternoon depending on when everyone else wants to leave

Be up there Thursday around 8 or 9

Planning on thurs evening arrival, truck camping. Will pay for shower use.

We cleaned the buggy and started it up for the first time in 6 months today. My son and I both want to go Wheeling soon so we might just have to do this run for old times sake :-)

Slight adjustment to original plan. Will now be spectating, serious carnage on the jeep at hidden falls this past weekend, so I'll now just be watchin the fun. Should have a order of hats in before we head up there if anyone wants one I'm bringing all the merch.

What is generally a good time to get to Clayton on Thursday? Will be coming from Houston, but making a stop in cstat to be pick up my cargo. I took the day off so I can leave any time.

Anytime between 5pm and 2am usually. I will be there fairly early because I am leaving from work. And work is just over 2 hrs from Clayton

I will be there sometime Thursday afternoon.

Check this link below as a reminder of what route to take from the A&A to the trails, especially if pulling a trailer.

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/usa-s...eet-use-2.html

I will need a trail seat if anyone has one available please let me know.

For those intrested, i just got a new order of our hats in and will be bringing them up to clayton for those who want to grab one! They sell like hot cakes and already have sold 6 out of the 25 i just got in today.... They run 20 a pop, comfortable and look great!

I will take a hat as well

I'll take one.

Also, I just reserved the last room at the A&A (a king in the Annex). Really would like a kitchenette in the main building so if someone wants to save some $ or needs to change plans, please let me know! As of right now I am planning to come in Thursday night and leave sunday. Bringing the buggy and my son, may bring another father & son as well.

Weather looks decent! I am suburban camping, bumming/buying showers. Guess I should find a trail seat. Though, some walking won't hurt me.
