I was alluding to Ed's love of "grade 8 mil-spec" hardware.

That was kind of my point, too. I hated to tell him "mil-spec" isn't any stronger, just controlled better during manufacturing.

Yea fuck bolts just weld it on there in as many places as humanly possible. You dont want that thing coming off again.. I'd also brace the frame horns with some extra 1/8" steel and it will give you something to weld to.

I guess I will go with the medium group. I have to get through the weekend without damage as I have a road trip to the Finger Lakes then to The Wilds planned for that week. BUT, I don't want to have a group hug after going over a log either. Working like hell on the truck to get it ready. I may even have it inspected by then.

Count me in for this group. Haven't wheeled in awhile and want to cover some ground.

What are your thoughts on a deep fried dinner on friday? Kase can bring his turkey fryer, and everyone brings something to throw in it. I figured since schuler wont be bringing 50lbsthe of french fries, this could be the next best thing.

Can we ask the aoaa people for a recommendation for a restaurant/bar in the area? Maybe patronizing a local buisness will help show thay will will get additional buisness from the park opening

brilliant idea.

i will get on it.

In one of the articles about the park, they mentioned a sports bar in shamokin that the atv riders use

I like supporting the local business Great Idea

I figured the "festival of deep frying" would be an idea for at the campground friday, then hitting up a restaurant saturday after anthracite.

I should be out there friday, not sure what time yet, have to find someone to watch my daughter until lauren gets home from work.

Alternate plans MAY be necessarily. My attendance is in question (please stop the cheering).

Jensen broke his collar bone in a big way (ATV accident). I should find out tomorrow if he will be able to go. If he doesn't go, I don't go. Stay tuned...

Don't get on me about his protection, I feel horrible as it is. He had on every piece of safety gear you can purchase including a Leatt neck brace with an integrated chest protector - still happened. F-me...

Only takes 5lbs of pressure to break a collar bone. I broke both sides when I was younger.

Yeah a collar bone is one of the easiest bones to break. Hell I have so many friends who broke theirs in High School playing rugby. It was one of the most common injuries.

Your coming, He'll be fine. He's young, kids heal fast, and he'll be 3 weeks in. Since he's injured, we'll let him have some potcheen if he's in pain.
