It looks like it was changed in late December so it wouldn't interfere with your wedding.

If it were me, I'd be there. It's an awesome park for those who wheel their jeeps.

It is not like that mud fest we had last weekend, even when it rains.

Windrock is HUGE...it is 100 times bigger than Gulches with 300+ trails. There is a lot for beginners, buggies and everything in-between.

I am a bit nervous to drive my rig up there and have to drive it back home but It sounds like there is fun for all. I like to watch youtube videos of different parks before I go to them and see what its all about.

That is a huge group that will be there. I don't believe the park is closed to other groups, but they do have pre-set trail runs, and they send folks up to close the trail to others until they have entered and passed.

I doubt they will be on the blacks our group wants to run.

It is very unlikely we cannot arrange to get you home if you mess something up. Be responsible and we will understand that sh*t happens and get you home.

We rolled up to that point like 90 minutes into the trail. And we were like "well, we're not turning around now, let's go figure it out."

Post by: kent10sne1 on March 20, 2015, 11:59:19 AM: well im going to have to set this one out, but there are tons of easy/intermediate trials, that an open/open rig can handle. 1st time I went there i was open/open oon 33's . and i did alot, even some stuff i should not have been on, but with the crew thats going, you have great spotters, and seasoned wheelers that can get u up/over/down just about anything. just take ur time, and if you dont feel comfortable, just winch over it.

Post by: LUVNMY06TJ on March 20, 2015, 04:30:34 PM: So far this is my favorite park. I readily enjoy Windrock. Last year a few of us were there for a week and I think we still were short a few trails. This park as every level of trail for every level of rig. The first time I was there I was open/open, on 33's, on a 3" BL, and a winch. There was plenty to do at that level. As for breaking and not being able to get back; in this group we never leave someone stranded. It doesn't happen. Oh and from personal experience there is at least one auto parts store 5 minutes from the park. I replaced an ignition component last year, amongst other parts. This is a great park to wheel at any level; I highly recommend going.

There is a place called the Windmill Inn that is very close. It is an old church converted into a bed and breakfast.

Great people, but when we stayed there last time it was so damn hot it was unenjoyable. The big tv, poker table, and pool table were not used much due to the temperature in the chapel. Wi-Fi was not very strong. They did have a garage where you could pull a jeep to work on it. They have a community fridge for strong food and drinks.

I'm not staying there this time!

Got us a spot booked. It's in the area passed the bathrooms in the "pick your site" area. Plenty of open sites. Need 7 days notice if we need to cancel. I still need to confirm the trip with my scheduling committee.

I am scheduled for 24 hrs on Friday and Monday. I will either take the back 12 hrs of Friday off and drive up during the night or head up Saturday morning. If it is the latter I will be wheeling a little on Sunday.

Clark, pay attention to where your hydro lines are at full stuff when you are fitting everything.

I have an spare hydro line you can grab for a "just in case" moment if you want to. You may have ordered extras though.

Go head and get a cube shaped Glad container to make ice blocks with. Opening and closing it all day will make it perform like any old cooler but the ice block and keeping minimal air space with loose ice, drinks, ect. will make it shine.

Good idea, I was also told to bring it inside the night before (if it's hot) to help keep it cooler. I noticed with the yeti tumblers that makes a huge difference. Cold water + ice lasted 21 hours before the last sliver of ice melted. Still cold for several more.

Awesome! I have the first gen but love it. You'll get some good use out of that!

Looking forward to it! I never really cared to have one, then realized how nice it will be to have on wheeling trips.
Go head and get a cube shaped Glad container to make ice blocks with. Opening and closing it all day will make it perform like any old cooler but the ice block and keeping minimal air space with loose ice, drinks, ect. will make it shine.

This is what I do for my cheapo coolers...it works awesome. I have one form that is exactly the size of the bottom of my cooler. I also use solo-like cups that I acquire from work (used by me) that i will fill and freeze. Part of it is being cheap, but it is very effective too.

Post by: clark123456 on April 23, 2015, 12:56:29 AM: So...as you know, blue Wes is usually a punk, but today he raised his status a bit with some awesome maps of Windrock. We have a nighttime planning map set, a set of mini maps for group leaders, and I made some super-mini maps for the early arrivers.

Post by: Krawler00 on April 23, 2015, 12:20:36 PM: I will be heading out of winder at 5 on the dot. Hopefully nothing comes up before I roll out. Should be in by 9:30 or so. Clark, what spot are you in? I will set up and then swing by for a map. I do have a small amount of firewood for my pit but not enough for the entire trip. Temps are supposed to be cool at night so come prepared. I am talking to you @PHANTOM //LMAO//

Post by: DOUG on April 23, 2015, 02:05:02 PM: For Yeti, cool the cooler, then cool the contents for a week. Throw a few ice bags in it or dump your freezer ice in a day or half day early and ice the cooler down. Next day add ice and food and beverages and it will keep all week.

Post by: clark123456 on April 23, 2015, 02:16:59 PM: Just checked in.

Validated the toilet works and the fan does not suck (it should suck).

They are serious about the speed limit in the park...obey the signs!

I forgot a towel...Wal-Mart is in my future unless a cabin mate brought an extra.

Ready to ride!

Post by: Blue J on April 24, 2015, 12:59:22 PM: With the impending doom and threat of Tornado's, I am regretfully canceling my participation. I called the Campground o inform them and they only charged me for one night. So Tent space P4 is available. I know I am going to regret this and it's just going to blow over tonight. But since the wife was supposed to join me, it's already making her happy that I am canceling. I guess my wheeling is going to be limited to Trey Mtn this Spring. Oi. Y'all have fun.

Nope, too much driving for a short trip. I may try to go back there sometime on the side soon. I will be installing backsplash in my kitchen instead.

Great spotting and camaraderie on the trails and always a fun time back at camp around the fire. Thanks to all who came out and made it a great time.
