Official: TRS Spring Roundup June 1st, 2013

[Jim Oaks]

For those that don't know, from 1999-2006, I use to host at least 2-3 trail rides a year. A Snowball Run, Spring Roundup, and Fall Roundup. Our trail rides have been featured in Offroad Adventures Magazine, they've had sponsors, and Randy's Ring & Pinion has even used a photo from one of our rides for a large print ad.

After 2006, I was just too burned out to do it any more.

Well, after all these years, I'm looking to do it again!

but great to see.

 

[dieseldane]

Sounds like a great time, but a little far away for me at this time.

 

[ZMan]

I talked to my buddy and we're both down, I have a stock ZJ and his is lifted 3" on 31s, so we would probably stick to the easy trails lol.

 

[adsm08]

Well, I would go, but we are kind of expecting a kid within 5 days either way of that date. Probably kind of important that I be home.

 

[Kyle G]

Oh, come on. It's only 5-1/2 hours. You could camp on site. They have showers/restrooms. a cheap fun get-away.

 

[mdn14]

With that only being an hour away I'm definitely game.

 

[dangerranger83]

Way to far for me.

 

[Jim Oaks]

Way to far for me.

LOL. I drive past there going to the Badlands.

 

[railman]

I would like to go....but, gotta see what my better half says first....so stay tuned

l8r, John

 

[AgPete139]

Damn, that is really far away for me at 1,400 miles one way (I would need to drive her back, too).

Will this be the only one, or do you think Turkey Creek in TN would be an option for a Fall Run or something after this Summer Run?

I'll help pass the word.

 

[RangerSVT]

It's a little early to tell for me, but I'll be lurking around and tune in closer to the date. I should know about 3 weeks out...

If we could successfully pull of this event in June, I would definitely look hard at a fall event.

People get hung up on the distance. Look at it as a small vacation. Arrive Friday - camp, eat, drink, and hang out with other offroaders. Saturday - wheel all day, cookout with friends, campfire, tell stories. Sunday - do a little more wheeling for those that don't need to head out early.

Remember - On site store, showers, campsites with electric, towns near by for food and supplies. This offroad park is quickly becoming every bit as popular as the Badlands in Attica, Indiana.
