Any Members in Arkansas?

Just checking in to see what the plans are for Saturday. Have we finalized our meeting location and time in order to accommodate everyone?

 

I thought this was the plan. I officially received word that I am off of work and for what it's worth (not much) I'd like to try Illinois Bayou. I've run Indian Creek a few times and while I like that route, I like to try new routes.

Can one of you guys PM me a phone number?

 

I was waiting on everyone to pipe in and let the weekend dust settle. If no one is coming from NWA (@TenBeers) then would be easier to meet in Hector and run south to north, but yes, plan on 0930 Sat AM, and we will confirm location. Not sure what Mr. Pete is thinking, I'm sure he'll chime in.

 

South to north actually works better for me.

 

PM sent. I added @Doc's Rig, @Dave_M and @PinnaclePete, and @TenBeers . Any others chime in

 

I'm open to whatever works for the rest. For us centrally located, Conway may be an option...again, I'm open.

 

I'm considering driving down from NEA to go to the bonfire and would like to go for a drive out in the forest. But I'm still waiting on my sliders from the shop; so, that's my only hesitation there. If y'all have some trail knowledge of where you'll be going, I might be convinced.

I ended up on a trail by myself in the Ouatchita forest where I *almost* needed sliders. Built myself a little reservation until they get installed. Let me know if y'all have a trial planned out and I'll see if I can make it. I wouldn't mind riding with.

 

Proposed route attached. There are a couple of optional spurs/cemeteries etc, but this is main route. Should open in google earth or can import to Gaia if you have it. Any problems, lemme know.

 

I have no sliders on either of my Toyos and have never had a problem, feel free to join. Nothing will be that technical.

 

I don't recall exactly where you are in NEA, but you're welcome to meet me at our home in Searcy and then we can caravan to the meeting location. If you bring a tumbler, I can refill your coffee. Now that's service.

 

I'm not able to open.

 

Was a .kmz, sorry, try this one and excuse all the untitled pins...

 

Still no-go. No worries. If you have general roads/towns, that works fine for me.

 

Should be able to save it, and will open in Google Earth? It's Hector to Scottsville to North fork Road to Sulphur Road to Hwy 16 to Sand Gap. For those headed to Bonfire can take 123 east to 21 to 103, those headed back can come down 7 to I-40, and those camping with us can help us drag up some fire wood

 

That is service! I'm from Jonesboro, so it'd be about an hour and a half for me to get to your place probably. Let me make sure I will be going before I commit though. I want to make it.

I got it uploaded into Gaia, but had to upload it on the website https://www.gaiagps.com/upload ....That worked for me anyway.

 

Sounds like you got a good day planned. I've got to work (the store) til noon so my original and current plans were to high tail it to Clarksville, head north to Oark, then west to Byrd's - say hi, look at rigs, reconnoiter the layout for the fall Rendezvous, grab my T-shirt and get back to Lil Rock by dark for date night with wifey. I really don't have a free weekend until middle of June. Ya'll have a blast...

 

My Pro is stock with the Predator "Rock Grabber" Steps. I like to keep things relatively mild with ride-around options, kind of like my mountain biking.

I was able to load up the kml file in the web version of Google Earth, that is pretty cool.

 

Well...that's too bad. If plans change, we'll have extra pork chops for a quick bite if you wanna catch up on way back.

@CRASHMAN50 - I added you to the PM for numbers and forthcoming details

 

Hmmmmm, pork chops in the woods or noodles and canoodling with my woman

 

My wife and I will definitely be making the trip and camping. Looks like we might even get some nice weather!
