2014 Schedule/Comment Thread

I can cover the $80 or $85 bucks.  Count me in, depending on the weekend.

I think it's like Moab and Harlan; only a certain number of members will want to pay that much for a ride.

All the rigs in the group I was with were locked on 35s or higher.  Plenty of stuff to do at that level,  but also plenty that are hard at that level and above.  And some things that are ridiculous.  Check out some youtube videos.

Harlan price is cheap.......

Hale mountain was a fun park with a ton of rocl. With that said I spent a lot of time on the bypass or multiple trys in my LJ on 35s and a locker.

I was thinking about the fuel cost to drive there and back plus 2-3 nights accommodations.  It's at least $400 for a long weekend. 

For those who camp, the cost of any ride is the fuel to get there and back plus the park fee.

Gray rock is $850 for 10 rigs. After the 10 it is $75 ea. above that. That is what it was the last time we rented the park.

Thanks.  Very doable.

Are there trails for all levels of rigs?

that comes out to $80 per rig if you have 20.  That's expensive.

Kirk they were talking just riding cost $80
In that context Harlan's $30 is cheap

Its worth it when that covers camping, shower, toilet,  and covered areas. Owner comes out and bs with you as well. There is a lot of traction and a range of trails. Spread out some traffic jams aren't really an issue.

Also second hale. Has a range of stuff but some nasty stuff. Watch xj on 37 climb some good stuff in there.

If that $80 covers camping and stuff also it wouldn't be tooooo bad....

If we are comparing parks, I would prefer to compare the total cost of the trip, and note the value a park represents, versus just comparing the cost paid to the park for riding on their trails.

GATR CORE Cook and Camp.

I talked to Tim Kirk about Grey Rock again today.  The group I went with does two rides there a year, and the Spring ride will be March or April.  Getting "invited" seems to be a matter of someone on the list inviting you to join in, and after a couple of times you can get added to the list directly.  Maybe bjeep can comment on this.  One of the guys pays the fee in advance for the group and then collects on-site.  We can ask if having some GATR rigs participate next Spring, but since the date is apparently chosen only a couple of weeks in advance it would be hard to schedule on the calendar.

Tim says there is a lot of trails for stock Jeeps, but the issue would be finding them for people who don't know the park.  None of the regulars with built rigs is likely to volunteer to lead an easy ride.  I'm not sure how to address that.  Those with F&R lockers and 35+ tires could hang with the regular group.

I also got a clarification on the costs.  $1000 up-front to rent for up to 10 rigs at $850 + $150 refundable deposit.  More than 10 rigs it's a flat $85/rig, no charge for passengers or camping.

Thanks kirk.  Sounds like a plan.
