I was just looking at the Tornado Alley Cruisers schedule and they have a pre GATOR run at SMORR on June 19,20 and 21. I have wheeled with them at their Get Flat Nasty with TAC event last year. I'm sure some of them have been to SMORR and would be willing to lead on some trails. It may work if SMORR is the last stop. Just a thought.
 
That sounds like a good idea.

We need to figure out if we have anywhere to wheel during the week, many parks are closed. We could time it so we wheel the badlands for a couple days over the week, or we could wheel/camp/night wheel the cliffs if anyone is willing to drive up. Im sure I could get steve to open the park for us.
 
I called Ron at Flat Nasty and they are open 7 days a week and live on the property. He also said that night runs are allowed as long as you are not alone. Rons a Toyota nut to boot.

Washita MX is also open 7 days a week.

SMORR is only open on the 1st and 3rd weekend of the month.

Nice work bill. I was looking at the websites last and I saw that SMORR was open on certian weekend but i didnt see anything about flat nasty and washita. Knowing that these parks are open during the week and even some night wheeling Im all in for the UA.
 
Agree with passing on Badlands and Cliffs. We can do those at will. Something different is certainly appealing. For the Indiana crew, a better place to meet would probably be at I-70 and I-57.

X2 on the great work fellas.
 
Sounds great to me. Maybe we can make some final plans this weekend at the Badlands run, if that is still on.

I also agree with skipping the Bandlands and starting in MO. If we run out of places to wheel through the week we can always make Badlands the final stop at the end of the week.

Is the run at the badlands for 5-2 still going on? My truck isn't ready but I need a wheeling trip I havent been in over a year!

Yes Mark. Badlands is still on for this weekend. I am shooting for being at Sommers Carrol on Friday evening. I believe there are others planning for the same. See you then.
 
Update.

Please go to the UC site and register if you are coming. It's free. We just want to know who is coming. Upstate Cruisers GSMTR ‘09

Here is the skinny on the new GSMTR Rally. As I’m sure you are aware, Tellico is under severe threat with a recently announced “temporary” closure until 2011. All along, this years GSMTR was about raising funds for the “Rescue Tellico” effort. Even with Tellico temporarily closed, we are not giving up on supporting and fighting for the cause. So, what does that mean for GSMTR ‘09?


GSMTR ‘09 will still happen but it will be a rally more highly focused on raising funds for “Rescue Tellico”.

The event will run from Thursday through Sunday, June 18th through the 21st.

We will have a parts swap Friday, Trail rides as well as a Rock Climb Competition. That’s right we have trails! Not the ones that are closed and not hardcore trails but Danny at Crawford's has mapped out over 100 miles of forestry service roads along with several scenic overlooks and places to stop for a meal and a pit stop. On these trails are numerous river crossings, winding gravel and dirt roads and some blacktop roads. But the majority is off road. It’s not what we all want but it’s better than nothing and will give you and the family something to do and have some fun. We will have maps at the event to pass out to those that lead up a group. A sign up board will be at the pavilion for those wanting to group up to do these rides. Rock climbing will start around 2pm on Friday. There will be at least three categories.

We will have a tug-o-war on Saturday. Having never tried this it will be a first so bear with us.

We will as a group drive through Murphy Saturday to show support for the local community. We will all park at the WalMart shopping center. The owners of the shopping center have welcomed us with open arms. I say we show our support for them by supporting them. After we have had lunch and met with the media we will be splitting up into groups and traveling up the Skyway or on a lower gravel road that follows the Skyway down low. That way you can do what you want to do.

We will have a big raffle at the event on Saturday. We have been receiving steady shipments from sponsors so by next week we should have a good group of products to raffle off that night starting around 7:30. So far some of the big sponsors have been BFG and Iron Pig.

We will have a 5 big item online raffle. This will be announced around the first of July.

We will want to have dinner for Friday and Saturday night. It may be a spur of the moment dinner. As we have not asked for any money to pay for food.
We will do what we can. Plan on there being my world famous Rotel for both nights. Just remember to check the forum early next week for more details. But for now plan on making your own dinner.

We will donate all (100%) profits to the Rescue Tellico fund for the fight to open Tellico back up. The event will be a pay as you go event. Book your reservations at Crawfords, and pay for meals, raffles etc… at the event.

We are asking those that are coming please register so we know how many plan on coming. If you have any questions please contact me. If you have an idea or want to help please call or e-mail me. Trollhole@upstatecruisers.net or call me Marshall at 864-414-0563

And, PLEASE support the “Rescue Tellico” cause, don’t change your plans to attend this years GSMTR! This may be the most important event of the year. The cause needs support, financial as well as through a show of support for the community. If your plan now is to go somewhere else during GSMTR your letting them win. We have a chance to make a difference. A very big difference. I will also promise you will have a really good time. It’s a beautiful place.

Thanks,
The Upstate Cruisers BOD
