First time wheeling Morris Mountain and with the GA trailriders group. Any pro tips for getting into park or tips for wheeling with the group? Outside of the normal riding rules and required trail equipment.
Anyone have a extra handheld radio I can useI have an extra rugged radio handheld if that's what you're looking for.

Primal may be the best description yet. Haha. As for pro tips on getting into the park, turn right at the sign for the park and head on up to the pavilion. Should be where everyone is meeting up. I think the park is ours for the weekend so anyone there will be GATR.First time wheeling Morris Mountain and with the GA trailriders group.

It’s a pay box so bring cash (I think it’s $20?). Also the “facilities” are very primal so you may want to throw some toilet paper and hand sanitizer in the Jeep

Incredibly wise advice. Heck, you may just bring your own shovel & dig a latrine,for safety ; I'm pretty sure that a 2foot in diameter, brown-widow-scorpion-recluse-tarantula was scopin'-out a way to leap on my bits while I was in that bathroom the last time ...

Looks like this won't be my chance to get in on a ride with y'all. Just read the rules and they won't allow my 17 year old daughter to drive her Jeep so no Morris mountain for us. Maybe some other ride will work out.

I'm 99% sure that rule is not enforced (and I've never heard of that...) since ive seen kids drive at most parks as soon as they could reach the pedals. Like, 9 year olds
Speaking specifically to Morris, I've never seen the owners or anyone who actually "works" there. It's mostly an unmanned property with a pay box and the honor system
Looks like this won't be my chance to get in on a ride with y'all. Just read the rules and they won't allow my 17 year old daughter to drive her Jeep so no Morris mountain for us. Maybe some other ride will work out.Don’t the rules state anyway that if a legal guardian is there they can drive???

I’ve seen children ranging from 10-15 out there driving their own rigs. That’s gotta be some sort of insurance disclaimer rule. You’ll be fine!!

This is what it says on the website 6. No person under the age of 18 may operate an ORV in the park. Passengers under the age of 18 must have a waiver consent signed by a parent or legal guardian^^^this^^^Looks like this won't be my chance to get in on a ride with y'all.

Cadence, my daughter (& spotter in training ) just turned 15 . Since she was 9 yrs old she's been coming to every park in the S.East & drives as much as she wants . In fact , I'd bet she might get mad enough to not come if she didn't get her "lesson" .
You sign liability waivers. If you want her to drive , I honestly don't think it'll matter. Don't sweat the small stuff; come have fun & I'm pretty sure she'll be able to drive if you ,the parent ,sign waiver..
So it sounds like it's the I told you so you can't sue me statement.

Keep in mind, Morris is Central time, so you gain an hour on the way there. I think the drive is net 1 hour

If things work out timewise we might get out by Friday night. I have such a busy week I couldn't get off on Friday to be there that night .
So, roll call. Who’s planning to ride Friday? And who’s planning to camp Friday?
ETA?

ArghEither way, rain or shine I’ll be heading home around noon Saturday. I was just informed this week that I have to make an appearance at a birthday party Saturday afternoon.
You, my friends ,all live close-enough for this to be a whim; I am unsure if I can get out to go Friday ...
Is everyone gonna bail & be gone by Saturday afternoons precip? I'd gone over it in my head all week , eventually buckled-down , packed the frogg toggs & FluidFilmed the Jeep's undercarriage , accepting of a bit of Sat afternoon slop.
(edit: It kinda looks at this time like the rains are later?)

thinking out loud im gonna try to get the drive done Friday nite.I don’t gotta leave my house until 8am to be there by 9
Get there late, wake all yall up due-to a 1am jeep unload [flipoff4] then go to sleep in truck for few hours.
'probably easier than driving at 2am to be there by the drvrs meeting then wheel...

I would love to agree with your logic, but then I include the 'BigDave' variable, and there is no way would I conclude him heading to the park indicates the linkage being fixed.If I can get my t case shift linkage replaced I'll be there in the morning.

Weather looks pretty bad for tomorrow. I'm out unless there's a drastic changeYeah, the latest today definitely wasn't what I wanted to see. Still looks like not MUCH rain will fall, but it looks to be steady most of the day now. Debating....
