Paragon Trip 9/16-9/18

krisfj40 · 09-03-05, 06:22 PM

Some of the Virginia guys are headed to Paragon the weekend of Sept 16th-18th. The plan is to arrive on Thursday night, wheel Friday, Saturday, & maybe Sunday morning. Some are going to hotel it and some are going to camp.

Texican's plane ticket is bought and we are pulling out of Richmond early on Thursday morning, hitting the Yuengling Brewery, then arrive on Thursday evening.

76FJ40 · 09-04-05, 07:17 AM

I'm planning to be there if work doesn't get in the way. I plan to arrive Th afternoon and camp at Red Lodge. See you here.

reffug · 09-05-05, 06:16 AM

Oh you guys suck.

I want to come so bad but there is now way.

Gonna be getting out of the hospital on the 16th. DAMN!!!!!

Tear it up Bob, show Texican how we do it East Coast style.

76FJ40 · 09-05-05, 08:23 AM

If you get out early enough on the 16th you can still make it. You can't let a little hospital visit get in the way of a wheeling trip!

Wayneraintree · 09-05-05, 09:58 AM

Bob, I am trying to make it... stay tuned!

76FJ40 · 09-05-05, 05:05 PM

You gotta come Bubba. I need to see the Pig in some real action.

Klunky Chris · 09-06-05, 04:27 PM

I'm planning on being there...
probably not until Friday afternoon though... not enough vacation left..... :(

76FJ40 · 09-06-05, 05:15 PM

Chris, are you planning to camp at Red Lodge?

reffug · 09-07-05, 05:23 AM

Wish I could come dude, just to kick Tex in the nuts but alas not to be.

Maybe I'll send Junk instead.

Bob isn't gas killing you yet????

Were still gonna plan a fall conway/devil run correct?

76FJ40 · 09-07-05, 08:28 AM

I'm changing the jets in the 40 today to try to get a little better mileage. With a drag coeffecient slightly less than one I need all the help I can get!

I ususlly go to Conway and the Ditch a few times each Fall and Winter so I'm sure we'll hook up. Just let me know when you're ready to wheel again.

BUCKEYE4X4 · 09-07-05, 12:28 PM

I have been trying to get back to Paragon and this date might work out....if we can join you.

We like to ride the black trails and go slow (take or time), 36, 37 tires, no buggies. I drive a 85 4runner.

We would probably arrive at the campground late late Thursay and want to ride Friday and Saturday full days.

I have a trail guide litte thingy card if that means squat. I am fairly familiar with the park but by no means a guide

.

Looking forward to it if I can work the hall pass (wife + 2 young kids = minimal wheeling).

Later

kdink79 · 09-07-05, 06:14 PM

How do you sign up? Or are you just meeting there Friday morning ready to wheel?

krisfj40 · 09-08-05, 11:23 AM

No need to sign up. We'll probably meet at the Offroad Park around 8-8:30. They open at 8. You will probably want to go buy a orange 4-wheeler flag at Wal-Mart before you get there or you'll pay $12 for one at the park. I can't remember the park fees. Here is the website for more info.

http://www.paragonap.com/

Looks like most of us are camping at a place called Red Ridge. I have only been to Paragon once and we hoteled it before.

The park is really amazing -- trails for everyone.

Hope to see you there.

Kris

Riad · 09-08-05, 12:10 PM

Entrace fee is $35.00 + additional $5.00 for any additional passenger. After last weekends trip I am so phsyched that I want to go to Paragon AGAIN!! Which trails are ya'll planning to run?

krisfj40 · 09-09-05, 05:05 PM

Not sure. I'm not leading this pack...I just posted it up to see who all might meet us there. I honestly can't even remember the names of trails we've done in the past other than hummer hill. And I think Widow Maker -- does that sound right? Something with boulders anywhere from 3-5'...??

macneill · 09-09-05, 05:10 PM

Damn it, I'm gonna be out of town. The only upside is I'll be driving the 60 back home.

BUCKEYE4X4 · 09-09-05, 06:24 PM

This is coming together. There should be 3 of us trucking from Ohio, trying to catch some wind in our sales to save fuel.

We will be staying at the Red Ridge campground Thurs, Fri, and Sat.

Karl

smtyblt · 09-10-05, 07:52 PM

It looks like I will make it ther friday night and wheel saturday.

Texican · 09-10-05, 10:26 PM

Anything you guys want from Texas (that I can get on the plane)

smtyblt · 09-11-05, 07:19 AM

If you can manage to bring a LSLC t-shirt. I would pay you when you get here.

Thanks Cam

76FJ40 · 09-11-05, 11:53 AM

Texican,

Please pick up a Shiner Bock banner for me if you can find one. I need to compete with a friends PBR banner on our "Shanty Town" at next year's GSMTR.
