July Event (Change in Schedule)

GarnerFJ40 · 06-28-09, 07:16 PM

All,

We will be pushing our Philanthropy Event back to August, and moving August's trail ride up to this month. Originally it was going to be another trip to the beach, but we've changed it.

July 17-19th 2009 ONSC Trail Ride Event Brown Mountain OHV

http://www.cs.unca.edu/nfsnc/recreat...untain_orv.pdf

If some of you are not familiar with the Brown Mountain Lights, I'll let you do your own research. This is the mountain where the "phenomenom" occurs, and I've heard July is a good time of the year to try and see it. It will also get us up in the mountains, where it COULD POTENTIALLY be cooler than at the beach!

Not much of a trail system, but in the efforts of our sport, if we make more visits, maybe it could influence some changes... All are Easy rated trails, but we're going to make this a good get together none-the-less.

I'd like to get a head count, as there are still some details to iron out, but I'd like to see how many we're looking at. Post up your intentions! And, I'll do some more looking around...

Brian

Count me wife and dog in!

nc_fjizzle · 06-28-09, 10:40 PM

I'll be there...in a new ride hopefully.

lt1fire · 06-29-09, 05:10 AM

Andrea and I will be there at least.

southerncruiser62 · 06-29-09, 05:19 AM

I will not be there.

strong_toy · 06-29-09, 10:09 AM

I'll be there with the family, so 4 total.

Same here, unfortunately.

krzyabncanuck · 06-29-09, 01:49 PM

I will also not be able to make it, as that is the day after we close on this new house and hopefully starting to move in. Sounds like a great place to go though.

FJinTegaCay · 06-29-09, 06:20 PM

I've been wanting to take my 40 on the trails and these seem like the perfect ones for a novice like me with my stock rig to attempt. I can't make it that weekend but hope to make another event soon and bring the wife and kids.

GarnerFJ40 · 07-03-09, 12:06 AM

Would anyone object to moving this ride to the 24-26th? I forgot of one small conflict...

addicted56 · 07-03-09, 05:16 AM

The move would give me more time to get my title from the PO. Otherwise it is a Jetta run.

S4Cruiser · 07-03-09, 06:35 AM

works for me either way

lt1fire · 07-03-09, 08:23 AM

We already got work off for the original weekend.

Original weekend it should be then. I hate asking for work off...then to change it really is a kick in the nuts.

lt1fire · 07-03-09, 01:52 PM

There is still a chance that we could get the next weekend off and work the original one but I need to know very soon. Brian what is the conflict with this one??

strong_toy · 07-03-09, 02:32 PM

I think we're fine with either weekend.

GarnerFJ40 · 07-03-09, 04:54 PM

Bluegrass show (The Grass Cats) at Lake Benson Park, for us Triangle folks... Forgot I was going to see who was interested from the club, tailgate at my house, walk on down, then after party...

S4Cruiser · 07-03-09, 08:30 PM

Well - make a decision and let us know...

GarnerFJ40 · 07-03-09, 08:56 PM

Well, if people have already asked off for the ride, then the original weekend it is...

little_joe · 07-04-09, 03:22 PM

I can do the original weekend but not the weekend of July 24, if it matters at all.................

..........which it doesn't

Just screwing with you Joe. I know 90FJ can only make the first weekend as well and I think he is meeting me there with some parts as well as some parts for someone else.

S4Cruiser · 07-05-09, 04:22 PM

Have we decided on the camp ground? I assume it's the one that Brian linked above.

For those who have stayed there before, what are the details? I checked the info on the link but it was kinda contradictory. They said no power but then if you click on the map then some of the sites say power. Also, do they have bath houses or is it more primitave type camping...doesn't make a difference either way but the

has been asking

.

I'll call one day this week if I need to but figured I'd ask here first.

addicted56 · 07-05-09, 05:36 PM

What no Alcohol!!!!! I sure hope that is only for the primitive OHV campsites and that is not exactly where we are staying.

Also I might be brining some ATVs...A couple 4 wheelers and possibly a 3 wheeler if I can find a trailer. Otherwise I'm going to try and cram 2 of them in my truck.

GarnerFJ40 · 07-05-09, 08:27 PM

I'm going to stop posting ride dates until I have all the details! No, we're going to stay at Linville Falls, info to come tomorrow...

No ride dates are good. Imagine if you were just posting this date only a week or two out. I know my

would have found something else to cram it with already.

strong_toy · 07-06-09, 08:47 PM

In case anyone is interested (particularly those with children). My family and I will be heading out Friday morning (July 17) from Raleigh to go to Tweetsie Railroad for the day. Then we'll plan to head to the campsite in the afternoon to setup.

Tweetsie Railroad: North Carolina's Original Family Theme Park

It's about 40 minutes from the campsite at Linville Falls. If you're interested in going send me a PM and we can sync plans.

the family and I are going. what's your plan

nc_fjizzle · 07-07-09, 07:54 AM

I'm not going to be able to make it. I was supposed to bring some skid plates (for 90FJ, I think) to the run, would anyone be willing to make the transaction for me? I really need the money for some 40 projects.
