I have been thinking about giving Genral Sams Offroad park another chance. I haven't been out there in a long time. So I was seeing if anyone else would like to go, and which weekend. http://www.generalsams.com/

Sounds like fun. You say another chance, was there a problem last time? December is socially busy for me but I might can make one of those dates.

the only problem there, is that most of the holes are very deep. But if you go with a 5 or 6 jeep crowd, with a couple winches, it would be okay.

The 18th might be a good day to go. The travel channel will be out there filming for some show called Bert the Conqueror. Maybe if we do something crazy or stupid enough we could be on T.V.

Dec 18, I'm in.

There are a lot more XJ's in the Houston area, but I do not think some of them go off road.

Well it seems we have a few people interested in going on the 18th, so thats the date. A few of us will be going to Creekside on the 11th if anybody is interested.

Not for me. I'm just joking around about the "kids" statement above. I've got 4 of them. Ahhh hell XJ Rat I forgot to mention my kids! MY BAD.

7:50 is fine. :D

It'll be fine. Trails are not that tough, just muddy. Besides, then he can get muddy hooking up the strap.

Tony, I'll bring some extra bungee cords and duct tape so they do not fly off the roof rack. :D

I had a good time. Hope you did too, Tony. With no one else I couldn't get too wild. :D

When will we see the movies?

At about 8am this morning XJ Rat showed up at my house...

http://xjtalk.com/images/special/xjrat-pickup-12182010.jpg

Glen (XJ Rat) Allen (Glen's son) and Allen's friend and I all headed off to meet everyone else at the Kroger's.

No one showed. We continued to General Sam's.

After about 4 hours or so of hitting the trails (maybe longer) we made it over to the pit where they were shooting the buddy ATV races for "The Travel Channel".

Here is what we saw just prior to the races, apparently someone took a wrong turn and needed a Jeep with a pair of Rockwell axles to pull him out.

Then after a very long, fun, and stressful day (XJ Rat is easily twice as agressivee with his nearly stock XJ thank I am with mine) I was dropped off back at my house, safe and sound.

It wasn't clear (sitting at Krogers) that Rene had said he was going. I remember BigJim said he had to work and I didn't have Firemanray's phone number. So the only one I contacted was you.

It was a beautiful day out there and a little chilly until the afternoon.

You should ride with XJ Rat sometime, it's a hell of a lot of fun! :driving:

Tell him to move closer... and I'll ride with him... LOL....

Looked like it would be a good time... I hope I can find some stuff like that around here once I get my baby beast setup a little bit...

Going to have to say I don't think I would want to be the guy sitting on the cooler, right above that winch when that cable snaps though...

Man you don't know the half of it. As soon as they would get that winch cable hooked up the guy in the big Jeep hammered the throttle, two men were digging and scratching the sides of those loose dirt walls to get out of that pit. One before that cable snapped, and two before the Ford pickup was drug over them. It was insanely dangerous, and it was all do to the driver of the Jeep's inability to control himself.

I agree with ya James. Would be a great run to make. And that guy on the cooler must have ya-yas that clang sittin there. :shocker:

Yeah that is one thing I hate about some of those runs... is how dangerous it can get over one guys' loss of control of common sense...

I lived in PA, about an hour from Dover. Use to wheel a lot at a place called Paragon. Now I think the closest place for you is Rausch Creek.

Take a military hop to San Antonio sometime. I'll come get ya.
