Would anyone be up for a trip to the badlands during the week?

Where the hell have you been?!? :p

When? I'd possibly be up for it!!

I've been running the studio, Photographing weddings and I slipped down to Disney World for a week. So my plate has been pretty full, so to speak. As of now I won't have a weekend off until August 14th. After that September 11th so I was wondering if anyone wanted to go during the week. Earlier in the week would be better Monday,Tuesday. Which I know is hard for most normal people that work during the week but it's worth a shot.

Why don't we plan a run for the weekend of August 14th? It's far enough away that people can get it off!

As for wheeling during the week, I work with my dad, so I can probably take a day off to go....

HEY, bring this over to the MXO , and you might get more people that might be interested!!!

At this point I have August 14th off but I will more than likely book that date as well. I usually don't have a free weekend until after Hallowen. With it being only June I'm pretty sure I will book the 14th. That's why I was looking for a week day. I'll probably take the little guy down myself. It sure would be nice to have a couple trucks around just in case. I look at it this way;It won't be busy.

Haven't had any luck with a Haspins run so anytime from June 17 thur the 22nd would work for me. Pick a day any day.

WOO HOO!!! I GET TO HIT JOE WITH MUD AGAIN!!!!

What make you think it might be muddy?

Count me in for interested. Will depend on the day decided... I want to go tho...

Pinoy, I found the parks website and the park looks pretty tough. Would we have any one going that has a winch? This park is much closer to home for Hawk and myself. www.thecliffsinsaneterrain.com
I also found a jeep website that had a few pics looks pretty hairy when wet could be fun.

Your link doesn't work...if it is closer to southern wisconsin...I might be interested.

Link worked for me. Oh well the park is only open Friday-Sunday. Which doesn't work for me.

It looks like an ATV park....Not a truck park

They wheel trucks there also. The members of chicago4x4.net actually were involved in cutting the trails and since it's mainly a jeep owner board that's what the trails were focused on (short wheel base). If you got some time check out chicago4x4.net under "runs" forum for more info. That time we ran Lake Geneva they where actually cutting the trails then, the jeeps we ran with (firewalker) were talking about the place.

So Dave, I guess we try for a run down to attica. Haspins is kind of too far for a day run for us unless we camp (it's by IN/OH state boarder). I'd still really like to check it out sometme. [url=Haspins info.]www.haspinacres.com[/url]

I ran trails there last summer and took no damage other than a few scratches from overgrown brush. A stock Xterra can handle a good part of the park, but I'd recommend having one or two "recovery" vehicles along. Someone with a winch and mud tires that can pull you out if you get really stuck.

One of the hairiest/most fun trails I did was the Orange trail (I think) near the park entrance. Very tight and twisting, but I drove through it with no damage when it was really muddy.

Beware the tubes, only try the shallow side and check the depth before attempting. You could easily swamp a truck if the water is up. I dropped out and my sliders hung me up on the corrugated pipe. I had to get tugged out.

Thats a great trail lots of steep climbc with drop offs on the other side. It was my favaorite and the creek too.

How about doing this run on the 21st of June the day after Fathers Day. Sound good let me know.

I would have to work at 3 that day. Not sure I would be able to go then

can i go too

Well, I can make it. Let me know for sure if you want to do that date. We could meet at the Shell gas station on 394 and steager rd. and convoy out.

Yes, I am going for sure on the 21st. I can't wait. Both Josh and I are very excited to be going.

I can TRY to get it off, but I have taken each Monday this month off so far....I would LOVE to go though!!! I'll see what I can do.

Would someone who is attending this please post the times and dates of the event over on the MXO!! There is a thread started already so you can post it there, and possibly on the calander!!!

Well, I can make it. Let me know for sure if you want to do that date. We could meet at the Shell gas station on 394 and steager rd. and convoy out.

I don't know the area is this gas station in IL. or IN. I didn't see 394 on any maps. Am I missing something?
