Any Members in Arkansas?

I have a friend from work who is from Wisconsin. He keeps threatening to buy it, drive it home, and sell it for $15k. Can't quite get him convinced though.

Requested to join.

 

It's a good thing we picked the northern route for tomorrow's trail ride. It has a rock roadbed.

Here's a video of the water crossing at the Lake Winona spillway where we made pictures on the last two trail rides @HDMOTT @Ozarklander

Wow, I've crossed that thing when water was high, but yea...no. That's nutzo even for the 'hold my beer' types that live around here. https://twitter.com/i/status/1395713225887526912

For some reason link posted in my email alert, but not in the post. TW may be anti-twitter

 

I wonder how fast the level will drop by tomorrow afternoon? There are a couple of creeks with concrete bridges that we'll be crossing on the northern route.

 

Here's the gauge data, may give you a good idea where it'll be.

Using a tip from Chip. https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/uv?07362587

Not sure I know how to read those, but it looks like it goes up and down pretty quickly.

 

Well, shit, he just barely beat me to it. And I grabbed a different gauge.

 

Thanks Chip. The water level is falling fast. I like how a date range can be used for comparing past dates.

Some Rigs and Coffee pictures from the May 22nd meeting. @Bat Trd Thank you for coming out to join us.





We had at least 22 rigs on the trail ride.

 

Was hoping to make it to this one, but we decided to stay an extra day at the beach. I spent all day Saturday driving home, also learned that my Tacoma isn’t exactly the greatest road trip vehicle especially with mud tires.

 

That looks like fun. We'll be back next month. I'm thinking about how my trip to CO in July will go with mud tires. It may get loud. I should add some sound deadening before the trip.

 

Thanks for introducing me to my new addiction.

 

You bet! I need to consult with you about the phone and tablet combo. I need to become more technically up-to-date.

 

I got the ram mounts from a GB here on TW. I'm not sure they will work for your rig.

Well my Tacoma has been sold. Got what I wanted for it but it still hurt.

 

Congratulations! Bittersweet. Time to think about the next build.

 

... along with some lessons learned.

$75 just for the event. plus normal price for wheeling and camping? sounds like a Land Cruiser (deeper pockets) event haha

Never been to one but its probably a great time. Have any of you been in previous years?

 

Me and the family are planning on going to Hot Springs for a couple days. We want to spend part of a day exploring part of Ouachita National Forest. So Im wondering what part would be the best to explore for part of a day? I don't know the Ouachita forest very well.
