Harlan Trail Ride June 6-8

[phishtaco]

Allright so it looks like we have a little group wanting to go down to Harlan June 6-8. Who all wants to go? I'm not sure if any of us have been down there, but there are maps available.

I'll probably just go Friday evening through Sunday, my vacation days suck.
I'll be camping and drinking somewhere.

Tentative in for me,
Need to get some work done on my truck prior and figure out the work schedule but as per the better half I am good to go.

Phaedrus, I'm not far from you (I think) I live in Aurora And would love to go wheeling with some of you guys!!! If this is still planned , I can check into it!!

 

[PHAEDRUS]

The only camping I am familiar with is the south side of the mountain. It is basically a big field, kind of like a flood plain by a creek. I do not remember any showers or bathrooms with the exception of port a johns.

I think there is camping on the north side but if you are coming from 75 it is further.

Harlan County Campground & RV Park

This is where we are staying for the TTORA thing. Apparently they have cell phone reception also.

 

[BUCKEYE4X4]

that looks different, will see if I can figure out where it is down
there

 

[PHAEDRUS]

donkey,
Are you hauling down or driving down, curious as if you are hauling with room on a trailer I would be more than happy to split the cost of fuel with ya.
Dave

 

[muddonkey]

If you've got a big enough trailer, I've got a big enough truck!!!

 

[PHAEDRUS]

Don't think I can fit much in my 5x8 trailer, Just being a tight wad with fuel and all.
Are you taking the mini or the fj??
Dave

 

[muddonkey]

Still looking into the dates, gotta get off work!! But, if i go it will be the trail rig(mini)!!!

 

[zebrabeefj40]

So far I'm in. Got some work to do to the tow rig again now though. Gotta swap the rear axle before the pinion goes fer good! Good thing the "new" rear is already here and almost ready to roll under the truck.

You could have some swampers
You'll be fine I'm sure.

 

[PHAEDRUS]

Oh I will try most anything, You guys just might get tired of strapping my ass up hills.

Wanna borrow a set of 34x9.5 Swamper TSL's? I can toss them on the trailer and you can bolt them to your truck in camp...

You can go a LOT farther on BFG AT's than many folks will give you credit. I used to make folks look pretty silly with the places I'd go on 33x12.5 AT's on my old 40...

Nick

 

[PHAEDRUS]

Love to,
Hell wanna sell them??
I am trying ot figure out the logistics of getting my 92 back here, The 33x10.50s on the 40 would go to the 80 to make room for the some 34x9.50 ltbs. Just trying to figure out the logistics of the beast.
Dave.

 

[zebrabeefj40]

You're welcome to borrow them but I'm not quite sure I'm ready to sell them yet.
