If you're coming from little rock and want to make a day trip, winona is a great place to start. If you have a weekend to camp, the western half of the forest has some great scenery and better fishing.
I recently replaced my $5 Home Depot golf umbrella with a $6 Fred's dollar store umbrella. They're big, cheap, and if I lose or break it I can just buy a new one. Firm Grip 5 ft. Golf Umbrella in All Black-38124 - The Home Depot
Unless Colorado does inspections. I'm thinking some states require you to have a mechanical parking brake. I know there are TLCA events that list it as a requirement (but no one ever checks).
Are these 6 lug or 8 lug? Not that I have any use for them at this point.
EDIT: Found your craigslist ad. 6 lug it is. These are exactly what I was looking for when I still had the 4runner.
Depending on what time you make it in, Saturday night is the night to be there. Dinner, raffle, and people tend to stay around the pavilion most of the night. Usually the guys planning to drive their trucks home either pack up and head out after breakfast or run a couple easy trails being...

I would rather have one long route and camp on the way, but open to either. I'm just tagging along, so whatever you guys want is fine with me. I'll be in a tent either way.
We're 5.5 weeks out from the proposed dates. Is there a route planned out? Maybe I'd know more if I showed up to a meeting.. I'm pretty sure I can get free that weekend.
I'll be there Friday morning. Gonna start out on the bunny slopes until I figure out what this new ride's limits are. Still haven't installed a CB though. Maybe I can get something together before then..
If you already have some cordless tools with batteries, you could just buy the impact as a bare tool. Depending on what brand, they can be picked up for $100-200 pretty easily. That $400 milwaukee is a great tool, but just about any 18v impact will be more than sufficient to crank lug nuts on...
