We should do a one day trip in June it's just so close to us... (and free) except for gas of course.

Wanted to add - I am down for one day spur of the moment trips.

Hey Jake, Saturdays I am always free and the pines is like a half hour from my house. Anytime you're feeling like making a spur of the moment trip hit me up.

But yeah any pines trip I am down since its just so close to me.

Be careful what you wish for! I should have my winch middle of next week too.

Good luck! You can see my list in the other thread :-/ tons to do!

i got a camping stove now i need to build that table that will fold up to the SS gate penel so i have a mobile cooktop. looking forward to hitting the pines.

So Jake and I hit the pines for a few hours today. We went on some of the trails that we hit last time since it's all we could remember. It was very dry. All the mud holes and long water trails were no longer there. Then we spent a good chunk of time looking for that lake crossing we did last time. Couldn't find it though.

Also since it's gonna be hot, if we camp at the same place again there is a sweet rope swing withing walking distance of the campsite. If we get to the site early enough or the next day we could hit that up.

And we need to eat at that wings place you pointed out Saturday night!

It was seriously dry as a bone. We should all do some research and figure out what's good before we head out there. Otherwise we will be driving on sand bumps all day lol

So who all is coming?

i have all the trails mapped out from our last trip so we can head up north and hit up that water spot and we will keep an eye on the weather if we get a descent amount of rain we can hit up one of the trails we hit on sunday last time. did you guys check out the spot that Brian got stuck?

so far i think there is 6 trucks with a definite.

Fennessey can't make it cuz of his ankle, Shuler is up in the air with work (although i would like to see the red truck there!)

Good deal I'm excited for this now we all just have to do a rain dance. Will have my winch wired by then and hope to really get to test my new tires. We didnt go back where Brian got stuck. We were kinda lost but we did hit some of the stuff we drove through last time. It was only mud/sand and very little water..

That's too bad Fennessy cant make it. Maybe he can ride a long with somebody. I hope Shuler makes it althogh seeing his truck might motivate me to go bigger with mine ha.

Yeah I usually know if I can make trips the day before hand. Sorry Ed the red trucks sitting parked till I get enough cash together to get back working on it again, but its slowly coming along. The plan is to get it together for ROTR this fall.

This is where you almost got stuck Ed!

The secret is to go to the right, cut a HARD left while gas pedal is on the floor and RAMP the island to the other side.

I believe that's Dan's D90. Don't you know the difference between a 90 and a 110? And that looks like Jarek pulling him out.

Hello, I am fairly new to the off-roading. Interested meeting up with you on Sunday. When & where should I go? I have a stock Disco3, would the trail cause damage to truck since I dont have slider or after market skid?

Already have tow strap and shackles.

Thanks..

Sam

Sam,
You should be fine. The worst you have to worry about is the paint being scratched, where some of the trails get a little narrow. If Ed ever gets around to booking and confirming the camp site, you could meet there on Sunday morning.

Thanks... Not too worry about the paint. Truck already scratched from 2 previous trail run at the Pine. Had the family with me on those two trips, and they didn't want to see the truck cross any mud or pond. This time, I'm trying to slowly push the limit (while leaving them at home)
