CHOCCOLOCCO ORV PARK AND CAMPGROUND

OPEN RIDE - EVERYONE'S INVITED

CHECK IN ONLY

Ride discussion thread is here: http://www.gatrailriders.com/GTRForums/index.php?topic=19645.0

When checking in please indicate your vehicles tire size and indicate either TIER 2 or TIER 3:

TIER 2 – Intermediate: Rides that are open to all 4x4 vehicles. There will be challenges for stock to fully built rigs. Plenty of bypasses for lesser built vehicles. Some damage/Broken parts can be expected, depending on how far you want to push your vehicle. You will have a chance to gain a lot of off-road experience on these rides.

TIER 3 – Hardcore: Rides for fully built rigs. These rides will not be for the faint of heart. You must meet the vehicle requirement set by GATR STAFF to join these rides. These rides are for the most experienced drivers. Most trails on these rides will be hard.

If no other little tires show up I'll be stuck in tier 3.
Camping depends on the weather.

I dont keep food in my tent thats not closed up in a tote.

And words every man should live by -  "Pitching a tent is ok. But you should use some discretion when choosing where said tent is pitched."

The ants are on the left side (when coming up the hill); They are not in the parking lot on the right side.

I’ll be there, weather permitting, on Saturday. I’ll drive down Saturday morning.

I’ve got an 87 full size bronco, unlifted on 33’s. I’ll be looking to hit the easier trails, so I guess T2.

I’m a long time lurker here on the forums, but I’ve never been to a meeting or trail ride with y’all. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Things are just not lining up for me to drive the bronco down there this weekend, I’ve got a few little things left that I won’t be able to fix until parts arrive next week. I’d still like to go and hang out with everyone, if possible. I can drive down there in my daily driver, does anybody have an empty passenger seat for the trails on Saturday?

Not sure about the other guys, but unfortunately I do not have my other seat installed and I'm already on the road.

Hopefully someone else will chime in!

Bump, before it’s too late. Anybody have an open seat tomorrow for the trail ride? I’ll take anything as long as I don’t have to stand on the roof!

What are you missing? Might not be a big deal or people might have spares.

It’s a few little things that need to be fixed. The biggest thing is the tires. Right now the bronco sitting on a set of old street tires with a date code saying they were manufactured in 2006. I don’t really trust them to drive over to Alabama and back. I ordered a new set of mud tires off eBay, they were delayed and arrived at the shop today. I can’t make it out there tomorrow, so I’ll have to catch y’all on the next ride.

Thanks for the offer, but it’s just my timing is off. Hopefully I can get these details worked out and can join y’all next time. Hope y’all have a good time.
