Trying to book a cabin but phones are not working in DC(my cell or my office - odd). 
When is everyone leaving? Caravan up?  Everyone going up 75-40-etc?

I'll be leaving to go up that Thursday morning. Traveling up 75

Can't wait to hit mason jar, killing time, pinball, and a some of the other trails I remember from my first trip with JRay.  The old links on the forum to the detailed trail map are not working, does anyone have one?  The one on the harlan county trails site is too low resolution.

Confirmed that I have a cabin, just not sure which one.
I'll split a bigger cabin with someone or grab one of the smaller ones. Either way i can't wait for a Harlan night ride!! Mason jar at night is legendary

I agree Jonathan.......this is a very doable ride
I may never make it to Moab but I make it every
other year to Harlan. Every one needs to go at
least once.

To see a community embrace our sport like this
place does is amazing. They open their arms and
welcome you in.....to be able to drive any rig on
the road to get to the park.....love this place!!

Need some more "normal" rigs to go!  This will be a shakedown run for my Rock Krawler lift and how to drive it.  Me and Kent are the only ones on 35's I think.  @CaneJeep, @patman @Kennisau ? Following Tony and Danny gives me a pause, as it should, and now JRay is in the big baller club, but riding anywhere in this park is awesome so I'm game.

Sorry @jgerhard but I sold the JKU last week :) got too good a deal on a dodge 2500  to tow the CJ with. If I make this ride, it will be in the CJ buggy!

To be fair, tire brand should be listed when comparing tire size.  My 37s are actually 35.5 at 45 psi.  I may have some bigger tires by this trip...may.  I need a bonus.

Kent -  I have cabin 2 and just me at the moment if you want to split it.

FYI Mike called to confirm I had cabin 2 and told me Jonathan Gerhard was a cheater and locked his cabin in way before the rest of us.

He was asking if a "Jake" was with us? 

Ok, i  will split it with you..   I will be in cabin 2 with Don.

35's are the old 33's... maybe even 31's LOL! A TJ or JK (2 door) on 35's is a bad A combo in my book. Driver skill of course makes up for 90% though //OLDSKOOL// I am already super bummed but still keep fingers and toes crossed that I might be able to roll up for a day or two. Somebody leave me a truck bed to sleep in somewhere  //;D//

Post by: jgerhard on June 26, 2015, 10:59:45 AM
We don't know the final headcount but there should be plenty of space in the cabins no need for truck bed.  At the worst someone puts out a bedroll on a couch or the floor.  The big cabins can house alot of guys, I can't see that everything is fully filled so far, its just hard to reach Mike some days.

I called for our cabin early cuz (I'm OCD yep) I've found the easy housing for some of the trips such as Golden and Harlan to be booked out by other groups or by our group very early in the year.  JRay usually brings someone and I may or may not have Wendy with me, depending on if her mom has a surgery and can/cannot take our kids, so we locked in early.

Replied to your PM.  Saw the post but didn't see the PM on my phone as I was on my way back from Philly.

Got it.  not sure how many bunks we have in the cabin, but if there is room maybe someone should start a post with cabins, and who is in and if any slots open, so others dont have to call.

I asked before, but does anyone have a digital copy of the map at high resolution?  Perhaps if someone saved their map from a previous trip they could scan it in on the office copier and post it?

What are you guys favorite trails that you want to hit?

I recall Your turn, Pinball very well, and Killing Time (group had to turn around, exit was very wet).  Frankenstein resulted in a very difficult uphill with some shady sections that were wet - not sure how to find that again.  Of course Mason Jar and Lions Den.

I would go for that.  we need a food thread, and maybe a cost to pitch in someone buy it, we can all help cook it, set around and drink some shine while our food cooks.   after a long day of wheeling.   dont get much better than that...

I have two large bags of charcoal which will last us the trip, so i got that covered.

I know exactly what you mean Kent.....
This will be my first wheeling trip after
my rebuild with part of the money I got
from selling my daddy's house.

It's been a long 9 months since he passed
but I know he will be watching and smiling
next weekend.

Well, i feel like i just got deliverenced at work... We have a board meeting next week in Toronto and I thought I was able to keep from getting dragged into it but, while I don't have to go to Toronto, my Thursday is now probably being spent at the office.  Damnit. Damnit. Damnit.

 //ballnchain// //ballnchain// //hammer// //hammer// //HANGING// //HANGING//

Can you get a hotel room on Thursday, close to Harlan (but where you have reliable high speed internet and cell service, and then as soon as you are done you head on in to Harlan?  Just sucks to be held back in ATL only to be on a call.

Do we have service out there? I'm assuming it can't be the best in the world but I can be wrong.  I have both Verizon and AT&T devices for redundancy as well but thanks Kent!

I'm probably looking at being completely packed, going into work Thursday and then then picking up the Jeep from AllSouth on the way out of town as soon as I can get out of the office.  Could be 10am could be 5pm I'm trying to figure it out.

You guys leaving from Buford/85 area - what route are you taking?  Looks like there are two routes you can do parts of either up 85->26ish or 985->441->40w, etc.

yes, I plan on leaving from the buford I85 area regardless.   hope to be ready I think we where going to try for like 2pm..  not sure the exact time, I am following Jonathan, i should know exact times come Wed. depends on how hard Danny can crack the whip.  lol

I will still head back over to allsouth reguardless ...  , going to bring the tech's some donuts , those guys work hard....

I was there today. Don's is at body for finish polishing work. Kent I saw your rig in the air but no transfer case in yet. It was on the ground. (keep in mind this was at 0900 hrs right at opening.) a lot probably happened today. Clark there's a lot of welding under your rig. Steve was working at maximum speed. They did have about a 30 min. delay due to a power outage but they were back at it pretty quick.

Just spoke with Mike to ask if cabins would be unlocked etc....  He said that trail 45 (a blue on the map) which is the entrance from Putney side is a red trail under current conditions but the rest of the park was really good.  Rains had come through but its drying out.  They had smoothed out alot of the main roads very recently and are looking for us to pack it down as we get on them. 

We can explore in the new part of the park but they cannot publish a map at this time due to the bond not being released.

Just got  buggy & trailer home (I store them at Tim Kirk's garage).  When I went to pick up the trailer I saw that one of its tires had some tread separated, so I had to go to Discount Tire for a replacement.  Full CO2 tank if someone needs a fill.

I'm staying at a motel in Harlan,  but will leave trailer and buggy at the cabins.

If that waterfall is the one just before the first rock garden on the left, then I have done it before.  But I think the one in the video is a different one.
