Trail cutting day
This is an open invitation to all HC members & you Chi-town guys, for a trail cutting day in my woods.
Some time after the Red Bird run, & before the TFT run.
I know Ron would like to see my woods be more wagon friendly...as would I.
Just putting this out there, we can have some fun, wheel my woods & cut in some new trails as well.
Bring your rigs & help me out.
Anyone interested?

I think my truck loosened up a few trees back there so removing them should be easier now.

I took out the one that put the stripe on your rig Ron..
After you left RedBird on Saturday we all cursed that tree that jumped into the side of your truck...

Thanks Tony. That still stings...although I got most of it pulled out already. I have to be able to get the tail light back in.

Doesn't matter, Arjun. Just being there and hanging out & helping is fun enough, you'll have a blast. Ron doesn't have mud-terrains on his 80 and his did pretty good, you'll be fine.

How'd it go? My family came down to visit me so I had to scratch it off the calendar.

Ok so the 1st annual trail cutting day was a huge success...Ron, Carl, Carlee (sp)(Carls daughter) Clint, Johnny, Tom & I all had a great time.
We got several very nice trails cut in. Some cool off-camber stuff, creek crossings, hills, twisty/flexy stuff....all the things that makes wheelin fun.
We even wheeled some off the trails..We can do that @ my house, I don't mind.
Amazing what a couple of chain saws & a bunch wheelers can do in one afternoon.
Many thanks to all who came out...now just come back & wheel my woods with me!!

Mind if I bring my 40 down to work on it at your place, test it out, let you drive it around sometime? I'm gonna have to install lockers, a winch, install an add-a-leaf on the front, and take a look at my steering linkage. Might do some of that back home in Michigan, but it's gotta get done before I run her in the PYS Tour. Couldn't make it this weekend, but some other time you want help let me know.
