Thank you we are fine, some guy the other night decided that the spot in my lane was much more appealing to him than his lane, so he forced me out of the lane, at the same time a lady in an armada wanted to pass, so we were sandwiched for a little but only took some odd looking body damage

[Motorpig77]

Sorry to hear about the damage but glad you two are fine! Scary times! Keep me posted about the run...new paint needs pinstripes!

[knightrider]

put me down for a maybe, gotta see my schedule.  maybe camping as well

[2013nick]

Thank you! We are glad we had the X and not a car or it would be different, and the thought about the paint did cross my mind haha

Too bad there's no camping.

Nia and I would go if we could camp, and not by ourselves. Wheeling all day and then driving home is too tough on us old folks.

Have fun guys.

I believe a few people are going to camp at the toolbox springs/thomas mountain campground at the end of the day. I'm still trying to talk the wife into it also.

Here's another question Motorpig77 - do we need a forest adventure pass for this run? I thought you need one to be parked pretty much anywhere in the forest?

[Motorpig77]

Joe, great question...and the legal answer is yes if we're leaving the vehicles unattended...now I can tell you in the last few years of wheelin' / camping up there, I've never been ask for mine even though I have it in the glove box.  I need to renew mine this month and the last gas station before we hit the trials does sell them for anyone in need of grabbing one.

Finally got the X in the shop, but its looking very unlikely that it will be ready. If by some miracle its out of the shop in time I will let you know.

[Motorpig77]

Good luck...if not this one, there will be others!

[JFanaselle]

I need to grab a pass, as mine expired many moons ago. I'll try to grab one before the trip, otherwise that gas station stop sounds in order. Wouldn't want to ruin the day by getting asked for one and not having it.  I work about a block from the Cleveland Forest Headquarters office. I think they sell them in there, I'll stop in and find out.

Tried to reply earlier but it wouldn't post for some reason. We will defiantly missing this one sadly the X is in the shop till the 24th. On the upside I will have a set of new fenders, a door and new paint to pin stripe again!

Just went for a run up Bee last night in the RZRs and went up to the falls. The bottom of the canyon recently got graded so it's pretty soft and silty. Mostof the way up the from the canyon floor was rocky with a few areas where there were small wash outs. We didn't do the Hemet Jeep Trail so I can't comment on that, but some spots on Bee will be a bit bumpy.

[Motorpig77]

I just went up bee canyon and it'll be a bit bumpy...but the rest of the trails are in good shape! Looking forward to seeing everyone this Saturday! I'm going to take camping off the table on this run, my old labrador has been hurting lately and I would rather not have to take him so a good day of trail runs it is!
