7/17/15 - 7/18/15 - NELRC Annual

Tom, you coming to Rausch on Friday?

Far as I know we will be there thursday night? wife did not like driving up in morning and then riding trails all day guess to much in the car?

Jensen and I are going to try and make it. Thinking of setting up camp at Earth Day on Thursday night.

That may be the better plan, told my wife I really did not want to setup at rausch just to get up and break down next morning

Well last year was a learning experience for me rover wise where to spend effort beefing up, last year I bent steering, bent y pipe, bent rear radius arm smashed rear bumper and maybe some other stuff

This year I have defender front brakes, removed and, working off road lights, brush guard finished,built dom tube HD steering, got HD cranked rear radius arms, rebuilt and stroked engine, HD rear bumper, synthitic winch rope, exhaust skid plate, spare tire mount for hi lift( instead of on floor) and rear diff guard , and a ton of stuff i dont recall, also working on front pinion guard now



Following ed is expensive lol

Looks like I'll be able to sneak away this year and get in late friday night. Look forward to seeing everyone!

that's awesome Doc! looking forward to seeing you at the campsite

I didn't realise I hadn't posted here for 2 years!
I'm going.
Maybe Friday. Maybe just Saturday. Or camp Friday. Or camp Saturday. Maybe bringing the Series. Or the Rangie. Neil may ride up with me. Or Galen. And he might bring the Rangie and I'll bring the Series. So undecided. The Rangie needs a radiator hose and the Series needs a brake booster. But I'll be there.

Test towed the expedition trailer today , tows nice way better than I expected, younger still looks long but follows perfect on corners so no fear of curb jumping and got it backed in the driveway first shot, debating cutting off a foot, that will still allow my rear door to open all the way

We are brobly leaving Thursday afternoon to camp at earthday

I'm out this year. Been focusing on getting my S4 on the road and haven't spent time with the disco. I was planning on coming just friday anyway because I have a wedding to go to saturday. Plan on getting the disco ready for maine though. Have fun giys, anthracite is one of my favorite places.

You'll be missed Billy!

Hey my GPS has earth day as 2263 upper road from last year???

Hey Tom, that is the entrance on the other side of the hill. That's where they built the houses you can rent. I've created this map on Google which has the exact locations. https://goo.gl/PYn1oP

Hello All,

Just saw this post around 4pm this afternoon and I thought about it for about 1 sec and decided to make the drive over.  Will meet everyone at the Earthday Campground Friday in the pm.

Question: Is this the same campground as last year?

Ed - I'll meet you guys at Anthracite tomorrow morning. Just received my new Tactical Rovers front bumper last night from Justin. I planned on a half day at work today then heading up to Earthday but there's no way I'm pulling out of here with my old plastic bumper and factory brush guard on with that puppy sitting in the garage.

See you all bright and early!

I should be there tomorrow morning as well.
