Spring Wheeling - March 21st

[PVCsnorkel]

We have a good amount of interest in a wheeling day on March 21st, So I'm starting an official thread.
Even if you replied to the prior post in the "Club Activities" thread, please reply here if you plan on attending.

This will just be a day trip to either Rausch Creek or AOAA, we'll see what the poll decides.
Meet in the parking lot by 9:00 am so we can be on the trails by 9:30. Daylight savings time will be in effect by then so we'll have plenty of light to wheel all day.

I plan to attend. Maybe with two rigs?

 

[MilkEel]

I'll plan to be there...

I’m a maybe, will need to see as it gets closer. My rigs open with just a roof cover and no heat currently. Redoing electrical and likely putting in provisions for seat heaters so that may be a potential solution

 

[shmukster]

I expect to be there!!!!!

Great! looks like we are up to 6 trucks with 2 more possible so this will be a good trip to open the 2026 wheeling season. Hopefully some of the snow goes away and it warms up a little. I would love to see @FuglyYota be able to bring his rig out.

If you haven't already, vote for which park we should go to. The poll is at the top of the thread.

I may not make it depending on a work trip that could spill over thru the weekend. Hopefully I can make another one in spring!

 

[El Dahs]

I'm in

 

[FuglyYota]

I cannot make it. Have a major crane pic in the city and closing several city blocks. One of my projects. I need to be there to support and help my teams.

April?? Early May???

I've been through some lifts like that, always a fun time.
After this weekend we'll start looking at the next weekend, probably around then.

I will be there and bringing a buddy with his new to him 4th gen

The weather is warming up nicely this week, let's hope it stays there and Punxsy Phil was wrong! We are up to 7 (possibly 8) Trucks, with a good variety so I am excited to see everyone's in action.

I have not been to AOAA in a few years and only have a rough memory of the trails. If someone who knows the park better wouldn't mind being the trail leader for the day it would make it a much smoother trip. Is everyone good with blue rated trails?

 

[YotaFun]

@Pacer I'm sure will volunteer or @shmukster also knows his way well.
Lets hope that it stays this way, there are already rumors of a snow storm around St. Patrick's day...

My reservations are made and both rigs are ready to rock. I will be loading up an FJ40 and an FJ80 this week. What time are we meeting Saturday morning?
