FEB. 8TH & 9TH : MORRIS MOUNTAIN * DISCUSSION

[Skandalous]

So whats the plan on camping?  Is everyone waiting to see what happens with the rain tomorrow or is it still planned camping at this point.  I ask because if I dont take the camping gear and stay in a hotel it will free up LOTS of space in the jeep   </LMAO/>  I would however love to camp if its not bad though.  I got some biscuits and gravy for sat breakfast for all that do camp if thats the plan.   {letseat} {letseat}

For any new members please try to have these items for the ride this weekend. A CB Radio is MANDATORY for saftey and navigation of the trail



1. Functional Parking brake or Line Lock

2. Tow strap (minimum 2"/20,000lbs, can be bought for +/- $20)

3. Jack (tall enough to change your own tires)

4. Fire extinguisher (must be secured and easily accessible; mandatory for certain ORV parks)

5. Seat belts/restraints for all passengers

6. CB that operates properly with clear transmission and reception (***See note below)

7. Recovery hooks or D-rings front & rear.  (Cheap Idea:  http://www.stu-offroad.com/guards/gas/tj_hooks.htm)

8. Battery hold-down (OEM or after-market, bungy cords are not acceptable)

9. Emergency Contact Form

10. Functional 4WD is REQUIRED. No 2WD vehicles are permitted.

11. Small First Aid Kit. Highly Recommended, Not Required.

*** The properly tuned CB radio is how we communicate on the trail systems.  From time to time, we cannot see or hear each other and this is where our CB's come in handy.  If you are on a budget, you can pick up one of the best "budget" CB's on the market for around $59 (Uniden Pro510XL) or a Cobra for $49 at Walmart.  Try to get a cable only as long as you need and don't coil it.  Make sure you have a good ground, and get power straight from the battery to reduce noise.  Some staff members have SWR meters and are happy to assist with a tune at a time other than ride time.

Bummer, looks like i'm going to have to miss this one  . I would only be able to be there part of Saturday and its just too long of a drive (2:15 one way according to mapquest) for only a few hours of wheeling. Have fun guys!  </ROCKIN/>

well I got a room booked would rather camp to save the cash but with the chance of rain I don't feel like packing all the camping gear. I did enough camping in the rain when I was working for Uncle Sam
