March 14-16 - Trail Cutting/ clearing @ Rush Offroad - Page 4

twiztedzuki · 03-03-2014, 10:20 AM

I shootin fo Saturday morning

Flint · 03-03-2014, 02:22 PM

I hope I can get to the stage of building the jeep for which it was originally designed. I want to be able to just load it up, wheel it hard and load it up again. I just ordered some Bilsteins that have to be installed before the 14th.

Saturday when it was 50 degF I cut some firewood for the campfire at Rush. Then I decided to check the furthest field back for down trees and found 3 down. That took the rest of the afternoon to clean up. I may wear out a chain saw before I even get to Rush.

With all this unplanned work I am almost afraid to nut and bolt the rig before the ride. You never know what you might find...

jeepmanjeff · 03-07-2014, 02:21 PM

My Brother and I will be there Friday night. 1 camper - 1 30' trailer and 2 rigs. C ya there. will be good to get back in the woods.

uglyoffroad · 03-07-2014, 04:32 PM

I will be there sometime Friday afternoon with two buggies. Is the place hard to find your way around? Do they have maps? We will be looking to either help others cut trails, or some direction as to areas that will be good for cutting trails.

There is a good gps map you can download. That's what we used the last time we were there. It worked out great. I don't think there is a paper map yet, but I could be wrong.

93 Krawler · 03-07-2014, 06:08 PM

Figured I'd post up a link to the weather. Gonna be nice for working on trails, but cold for anyone camping.

I work at the park and will be working with you guys friday and saturday. There are paper maps at the trail head or gps tracks can be downloaded from the rushoffroad.com web site. The park is easy to find, it's about 15 minutes from the interstate. Here are the directions from the web page:

Follow I-64 East

Take exit 185 on I-64 Turn Right toward South 180/ St Rt 3 and drive 3.5 miles

Turn right on to Rt. 966(Trace Rd.) and drive .3 miles

Turn left just past the concrete bridge (Four Mile Rd.) and drive 2.3 miles. The road ends at the entrance for the park

From Huntington/Charleston, WV

Follow I-64 West Take exit 185 on I-64 Turn Left toward South 180/ St Rt 3 and drive 3.5 miles

Turn right on to Rt. 966(Trace Rd.) and drive .3 miles

Turn left just past the concrete bridge (Four Mile Rd.) and drive 2.3 miles. The road ends at the entrance for the park.

Look forward to meeting you guys this weekend!!

uglyoffroad · 03-08-2014, 09:53 PM

Thanks for the info guys. Looking forward too it.

Where do we check in/ pay etc?

Redriverranger · 03-09-2014, 08:32 PM

At the very end of that description. They have a building/check in point right below the main parking lot on the right.

mastiff · 03-11-2014, 07:44 AM

All you guys need to do to get your permit is to stop in at the office, fill out the paperwork, tell Carole that you are with Core, and are here for the trail cutting ride. she will take care of it from there. The park owner and I appreciate you guys helping us out.

Flint · 03-11-2014, 02:03 PM

Still planning a little trail scouting Friday? If so, I'll shoot for a Friday 1200-1400 at the parking lot. I'm still planning to camp at least Saturday night.

Have chain saw, will travel...

mastiff · 03-11-2014, 02:14 PM

Flint, I will be there around 3 on Friday to show the guys the couple spots. Do you have any spots in mind?

93 Krawler · 03-11-2014, 07:57 PM

Mark, I have the GPS track of the trail we made last time we were there. I need to get it to the person making the GPS map. The file is attached and named appropriately. It wiped out my door and window last time.

I would like to get this trail cleaned up while we're there.

I think the trail i have in mind is the same one. we started working on it but didn't get it finished.

Flint · 03-11-2014, 10:39 PM

Mark, I should be there about 1300 and will find a camping spot. I'll link up with you by 3pm.

The only spot I can think of is a trail Mike, Bill B and I worked on over a year ago. It's on 11 not far from Rock God in a left hand curve but I'd have to see the trail entrance to ID it.

jeepmanjeff · 03-12-2014, 11:52 AM

We should be there around 2100ish.

WrenchMonkey · 03-13-2014, 06:25 PM

Tic-toc!

Is anybody else still wrenchin? I ditched my mangled hatch and built a cheap bulkhead instead. Just got the cb antenna remounted, and still want to add a couple tiedowns to keep stuff in the now-open bed. I may even try to rehang my exhaust stub. But I'll be there!

Is it just me, Hodgie, Andy, and Kevin meeting at Meijer? Jeremy said "at the meeting place," but didn't say which one...

Accuweather is predicting a low of 43 Friday night, and 37 Saturday. I may try camping, knowing I can head into town if it stops being fun.

See everybody tomorrow!

Robert

My junk is loaded and ready to go. IMO, camping when 43 = no fun. It was nice not having to load all the camping crap. See ya'll tomorrow.

Flint · 03-13-2014, 10:37 PM

Mark, I'm not going to make Friday at all. My wife is sick and I need to pick up meds for her. I am hoping to make Saturday and I am reasonably confident I can get there about 0900-0930. I was looking forward to camping but I will need to be home so Saturday is better than nothing for the weekend.

I hope to see all the CORE crew Saturday.
