RSVP for Rausch Creek HERE!!!! Everyone read - Page 2

Blue77FJ40 · 03-07-06, 09:53 AM

Actually, yeah, we'll be getting up at 5:00A as it is. In all the years we've been to Rausch, I've never seen the group leave at 8:00A. Most usually, I've seen the group amble out about 9:30 -1000A.

But this is why I mentioned earlier for people to post their preference when to meet at the park parking lot. Since noone has posted a preference, I put forth a suggestion via travel/arrival times. If those that are camping, and have experienced the real world time of when we actually roll out (ahem, Bob) want to start so early, then we can acquiese.

Riad · 03-07-06, 10:10 AM

Last time I went there, I got out around 4:30 AM. Lynn is there at 6:00AM I think. I can't remember the time we left fot trails from the entrance. But the earlier is better

.

Riad · 03-07-06, 10:33 AM

BTW: guys, there 30% chance of rain all weekend long at RC. That usually means on and off rain but coudy all the time. I don't know what's your plan, for those of you that are planning on camping. But the trails are mostly wet and muddy in this time of the year anyway. Between snow and rain. I staty away from mud by all means, unless I really have to get in it to get out. Anyway, I hope the weather changes in next few days but if it is going to rain hard all day long then I'm out.

H2o · 03-07-06, 12:01 PM

Are we still meeting up for drinks tomorrow to discuss the trip... or to just drink ourselves silly?

H2o · 03-07-06, 12:04 PM

i have a great friend from Phily coming to join us with his girlfriend. they want to by a Jeep, so we need to persuade them differently. He told me last night that this weekend should be beautiful... in the 70s.

Riad · 03-07-06, 01:29 PM

buy a Jeep

? Is he driving a cruiser? I hope you're right about the weather being in 70s and DRY

John Smith · 03-07-06, 04:09 PM

OK, It looks like lots more people are coming around to going up on Friday. Sebastien we need to decide when we are going up.

76FJ40 · 03-07-06, 07:13 PM

I'm planning to go up on Friday. See you there.

H2o · 03-07-06, 09:38 PM

i am down with up on friday!

IPOR · 03-08-06, 02:53 AM

I wish we had better coordination between BBRC and CLCC. This wheeling trip conflicts with the BBRC run at Paragon this weekend. I'd love to wheel with CLCC, haven't seen a lot of my friends from up there in a long time, but already committed to the BBRC event. I won't be far away though, camping on site at Paragon. Weather looks good, I was thinking we would be the only lunatics camping when we made the reservation a few weeks ago and the temps were single digits!

Wayneraintree · 03-08-06, 07:26 AM

I agree Lance, it would be great if the PA guys and BBRC, CLCC tried to coordinate a little since there seems to be new and more activity.

I am trying to mobilize the ALCC to just wheel a few times a year.. but as related to the thread, I will be camping at RC Friday night and Sat. night, see you all there

Jeff D.

76FJ40 · 03-08-06, 07:31 AM

I can't speak for everyone camping Friday night, but if you roll into camp (Camp PL1) by 9:00 that should work out fine. I'm not an early riser and I know that John enjoys a late start as well.

Felix · 03-08-06, 08:14 AM

Lance and Jeff, I agree too that we should try to coordinate a little better with the other area clubs. I know that CLCC was probably the last to plan our trip. We just ended up with the date because no other weekend in March worked for all of us, and we didn't want to push it back into April.

Bob, that sounds good. I'll plan to get there by 9:00 on Saturday morning. Hopefully I can catch-up with Dan and Riad on the way up.

Riad · 03-08-06, 08:33 AM

Well, I am heading out by 5:30 AM. It will take approximately 3 hours to get there. Call me if you guys get out early or in the same time. I've got Channel 4 ON as well. See ya'll.

Blue77FJ40 · 03-08-06, 09:26 AM

Good, we have some timelines establishing. I'll shoot for leaving about 5:45A, putting Riad about 1/2 hour ahead of me. I can usually make Rausch in about 2.5 hrs from my house. I should be passing Thurmont about 645A. I'll have cell and cb on if anyone wants to try and close ranks and convoy.

fjman · 03-08-06, 12:02 PM

I'm definately going sat. morning. I need to look at a map and get directions. If all of us Sat. morning guys are meeting somewhere to caravan up, where would this meeting point be?

H2o · 03-08-06, 12:48 PM

John Smith and i should be leaving friday night around 7ish from Silver spring. if it is pouring friday night, then we might leave sat.

This is our first official trip. There will be plenty time to coordinate, though I have been thinking that it would be great to have someone in the club whos role it is to coordinate with other Yota clubs and other off road clubs also. Any takers?

Sebastien.

Felix · 03-08-06, 12:55 PM

So, it looks like the only Sat guys are Me, Andrew, Dan, and Riad. Dan and Riad have their stuff worked out.

Andrew, I'll give you a call tonight to discuss our plans for caravaning.

Felix

H2o · 03-08-06, 01:03 PM

76FJ40 · 03-08-06, 01:20 PM

Looks good to me!

Riad · 03-08-06, 01:30 PM

I don't have any problem waiting for you (Felix, Andrew, Dan and any one else) guys. If all of you coming through 495 and 270 then let's meet on 15N, 2nd exit, Thurmont. If the campers' plan changes due to the weather, just give on of us a call. We can hook up with you guys on 81N sine you guys will take 81 from 66 (I think). There's a Perkins off of exit 77 on rt 81N. We could stop there too.

76FJ40 · 03-12-06, 04:02 PM

Thanks to everyone for a good time and goood food.

Felix · 03-12-06, 04:48 PM

I had a great time. I'll try to get my few pics uploaded soon.

Riad · 03-12-06, 06:45 PM

That was fun. Thanks every one. I have posted the link for the video in separate thread.
