Gulches Sat. July 19th
With the upcoming big events we have (BBQ and OMT) we decided it would be best for July's wheeling to be a nice relaxing day trip event. It will take place at Gluches ORV park in Laurens, SC on Sat. July 19th @ 10am. Gulches has something to offer for everyone from mild to wild  and it should be a great day to come out have some fun wheeling and still be home for dinner
Here is a link to the Gulches website: Gulches Off*Road Vehicle Park
Exact details will be worked out in the coming days, but start getting your cruisers ready for some wheeling as this will be a good warm up for all those attending the Over The Mountain Tour at Tellico

I just bought up a Gulches gift certificate off the radio. 93.3 the Planet (in Greenville) is holding an auction to raise money for the wife and child of a slain police officer. I hopefully will have the certificate when we go to Gulches on the 19th.

Aight guys and girls only about a week to go before this ride.......... where is everybody??? I know more people than this have got to have the itch to go wheeling!!!!
It isn't often we do a one day wheeling so come out and take advantage of this great local wheeling oppurtunity...........
I will be there in the  FZJ80 sporting 37's; thank goodness she is going to be out of town that weekend should give me atleast one day to rub out any dents and scratches that may arise

well i spoke too soon. Looks like we are homebound this weekend afterall. Kitty picked up a rash of chigger bites this past weekend while we were camping and it's driving her crazy. I've never seen so many bites - all over her legs little pink itchy dots. We're also still looking at possiblity of a heart transplant in the Wagoneer and trying to figure out the logistics of that.
Y'all have fun.

I have no fenders, driveshafts, brakes, clutch, front seats or radiator. I will be there!
I sure wish the only issue I had was a distributor and carb issues. Crap I could fix that in an hr. Unlike Chuck who has taken 3 years to work out.

Big gay is down and out. I have water coming out the headgasket. I need to retighten my headbolt but since my 1/2 extension has become missing since the SHAMONwich I don't have the proper tools to do it. Which really pisses me off. So I'll be there tomorrow in the 80 around 10. Me and my college buddies have camp site #1. So if I'm not at the entrance that is where I will be.

Had a great time! We almost rolled one rig and I swear another one was close to flopping. I took a bit of body damage  but had a great time. I want to take the  back soon. I'll try to get some pics posted later.

Had a great time as well, hope to hook up with you guys again.
Pics and vids HERE
I also did a trail writeup for my fellow Ga Cruiser guys, found HERE, thought I would advertise the fun!
Sylvain and I got back in around 10 last night, with my tube doors on it looked like a dust storm following me down the road the first few miles, man was I tired by the time I got home.

Great pictures guys. Reminds me that Gulches is a "place I must visit" on my list.
Looks like a great time!!

Gulches is fun - it can get very slippery when wet. I plan on taking the  back soon, hopefully during a competition as she would rather see other people tear their trucks up than watch me.

Much drier than when I was there last. Looks like more fun dry. We couldn't even turn w/out un locking the front it was so wet.
Steve, that's just a beauty mark, you'll always remember when and where you got your first dent.
