Great place to wheel and camp. It has trails and obstacles for everyone!! The weather should not be too cool and it will definitely not be hot enough for the mosquitos to be out...perfect time for a Gulches trip.  I was oringinally going to skip this ride since I was hitting Jeep Beach later in the month but I can't pass it up.

I actually just called Skip.  He said that he's got sites 1-6 already reserved for us that weekend... so are we going to keep track of who's got a spot reserved within those sites?

I called because I'd like to get a smaller site on the river away from the big sites... the quieter our spot is the better chance that the kids sleep well, etc.

I think site 7 is the most secluded on the river.

Sites 2-5 are near each other on the river and site 6 is a little off the river.

I'll go for the day if the Jeep is ready by then. I would love for this to be the shaken down before I wheel later in the month for a few days. That's also pushing for Atlas to have my case to me.

Man these rides are coming fast.  This one sounds fun, guess they all are.  Night ride though, sounds cool.  Gonna have to buy her a really nice purse or something to pull this one off.  Wish I had never taken her on that darn 4 hour Service Road ride or I might talk her in to coming along.

No problem David. I'm fine with a small group around just didn't want to be at one of the main sites.
