To get to the park....HWY 60 (goes across southern MO) to Seymour (east of Springfield). There is only a couple exits for this tiny town. They should all lead towards the center of town. Once your south of the RR tracks, you will wind your way thru the square and to K HWY. Take K south 5 miles until you reach the park. It will be on the south side of the HWY and trust me, you wont miss it. Look for the signs, and the ranch style entrance.

Thats all im going to say......for now.......

Going early this year I see, that weekend is going to be tough to make since finals are that week but will do my best to make it for some more fun wheeling and giant bonfires.



Idea's? Well lets see, how about a much bigger version of this from the Haloween run.

 

[Elessar65]

I'm in, whenever it is. Maybe the Ranger will be wheel-able by then, lol.

Sure it will:, how long have we been hearing this.

 

[Elessar65]

A looong time, lol.

 

[gmanpaint]

A large bonfire is a must

The 1st meet went very well with a great turnout at this time of year. Cabin fever was itching at everyone to get back out on the trails, and what better way to kick the winter blues than a springtime meet. No heaters or A/C required in the month of May, rigs run cool, and the scenery is beautiful as nature springs back to life.

 

[crazyflights]

Yea I vote that weekend in May!

Check for a massive bonfire!!! I dont think the one last time was big enough.

 

[crazyflights]

We can build bigger

Great night run temps.

And creative ways to get WOOD

 

[jakebrake]

Im in so far, still have to clear it with the boss to be final.

Invite the boss! Sure way to get that weekend off

I have to say...B2Guy knows how to build stuff big! From rigs to bonfires, guaranteed to be large!

Let's Pencil him on the "IN" list

 

[NICE59FORDF100]

You now, I may be in...Ill have to check my work schedule and vacation, but I might trek up there

Oh, I have no lifted vehicles...Is there a link for the trail ratings? Or is stock vehicles SOL at SMORR :

 

[Hitchhikingmike]

Subscribed for now.

 

[Elessar65]

Stock vehicles will do fine on the Ranch Road. Its like a gravel-ish dirt-ish "road" that runs around the park, most of the trails branch off from this. Also there are a few trails that a stocker can do, depending on your level of skill, and your willingness to incur a little damage (rocker panels, bumper, etc) Gmanpaint and Bronco2guy are the ones to talk to about it, they are there all the time since its practically in their back yard.

Here is a trail map http://smorr.net/_d/smorr_mapart_2008.pdf

You can probably run the 1's in a stock 4x4 depending on what kind of shape they are in. For everything else you would be better off finding a ride with someone else.

 

[gmanpaint]

This meet is more than wheeling. It is also about meeting up with others and making new friends, seeing old friends that we don't get to see all the time, and then taking our rigs out to see what there capable of. Everyone should come regardless of what rig they have. Were gonna have a Party!

C'mon over, and take a ride in someone Else's rig, if you cant wheel your own. I am sure most will have 4 seats and can accommodate others. We will have a monster bonfire to hang out at & share some laughs, & a nice dinner on Sat.
Can't wait!

 

[Hitchhikingmike]

If I don't have a wedding to attend to on the same weekend (like last time) I will make an effort to make the drive out of Texas to come up there. I won't be wheeling, but I'll come up in my stock 3rd gen. I'd be more than happy to help and be a photographer/ trail if needed!

 

[jakebrake]

That would be AWESOME! You should come its a good time regardless.

 

[yellowford]

That would be AWESOME! You should come its a good time regardless.

Says the man with the BUS, looked at those pictures of it and it is freaking huge.
