I think we are going down Thursday morning, but we are hoping to hit Chadwhick with our quads and then come over Friday sometime to Smorr. Just depends. If we don't hit Chadwhick at all, we will be their Thursday night.

Saturday Event #2...

Best timed Obstacle course.

This course will have some technical aspects such as Accents, Descents, with obstacles, finishing with a flat high speed run to the finish line.

We have a set course (set up by the park staff), to have a short course run.

We will need some volunteers for the course to help out. Spotters will make sure the drivers stay on course during their runs. Duties will also include... Helping drivers out if needed, with recovery, e-vac, and spotting. Sound off if you want to or have a volunteer in your group.

Skim thru the last 10 pages of the B-H registry Chad, it's all explained in there. Trust me, it wasn't as simple as you think it should have been.

1 month away! Time is going by fast!

Put us down for Friday only. We will be taking temps and saving lives on the weekend. Hahaha

I have tow points on my front only. Does this mean I can't wheel on the 1 & 2 trails? I'll have to look into it.

OG, as long as you have somewhere, hitch?? or something in rear you should be fine. We should be there Friday morning so you can wheel with us all day. We will hit 1-3, maybe a down a 4 or 5. The explorer group loves all wheelers. We have a pretty built Dakota that joins and some other stuff. I have ran a run with my Jeep Rubicon that I had for awhile.

Sorry about everything, man. I just got the update and I was going to say that I have family and friends in the Joplin area if it would help.

Health first and I hope everything goes GREAT!

I feel your pain... oh so acutely... my pretty Beast refused to run properly for over a year; the damned electrical gremlins just wouldn't die!
