5th Annual AOAA Invasion- 15-17 October 2021

Tag me in on the greens I'm staying easy.

I thought Ragnar was a dog.

 

Atlas is a dog, he'll be my copilot.

<---

 

We named the dog Indiana, Ragnar is the kid's handle for the forum.

 

Indiana was my last rottie. He used to get super excited when the theme song came on.

 

Freaking ROTTIES

 

He just wanted to snuggle.

 

Shirts have arrived. Pictures to follow.

Beer is on order, and I know where all the portable beer keg hardware is.

There's one open spot in the group site if anyone needs it. Anyone else have or need a camp site?

 

Atlas loves and misses you!

So there's a keg and like 24lbs of beef. That's all you really need for a party.

 

Yeah I need a spot to kip up

Let me know what I owe and I can pay up. I am hopefully going to be able to find a spot to stop en route to load up on Busch Light Apple. I'm on the hunt for it.

 

It is looking like I will have an open seat if your looking to get out. It looks like you have a few offers already though.

Great to hear from you sir. Are you making the trip?

Has anyone run trail 55 whiskey ridge on the eastern side. I was think that looked like most of a day trip out that way. Also not many options to get out once you commit.

 

Honestly if anyone is willing to handle me and a dog - I wouldn't be opposed to riding biotch. I'm stock as hell, I don't want to be the reason to not take.a fun trail (a) and (b) less chance I break my shit

 

@Skell are you attending this year.

 

I'm I run solo I wouldn't be opposed, depends on whether my son's bails or not. At 5 he gets torn between coming and being away from home for 3 days.

 

It's not a crime to use the outing as a recon or training exercise. The Tacoma crowd is inclusive and has wide range of experience, multiple levels of vehicles from stock to heavily modified, and ages from teens to sixties. The only things that are frowned upon are littering, trailblazing, dishonesty, and asshattery; if that's you thing, there are plenty of jeep groups that find that normal. Show up, be real, help each other, have fun without wrecking somebody else's day, don't bitch and moan, and leave the place as good or better than you found it. I've led groups that had a completely stock truck with less than 2500 miles on it and I've been in groups where somebody's windshield cracked from the pounding. Some trails are like dirt roads and others require a winch and lockers. Every outing is different, and sometimes you spend 4 hours getting past a single obstacle, while other trips you do for trails by lunchtime.
I'm posting this as there have been a lot of new people and I'm sure there are more questions. Hoping to breach any barriers which may be hindering people from joining the event. Please don't be shy, this is an offroading event not a contest to judge everyone.

 

Oh. I mean I've beat the piss out of my truck. I took it up blues at BHM for shits and giggles and it did fine. But after this I'm heading out to Kentucky so it's basically risk mitigation too - if I can't be stupid and break stuff, I won't. If I am give the option, there's a chance I do

 

You're in, I'll send a dm on price.

 

Not sure that I'll be able to get a bed on in a weeks time. Might be out for this year. Should've stayed in bed instead of trying to hang a couple of cameras.

 

Holy shit balls Batman.

 

Take the bed off. Zip tie the lights to bumper. Mount the tent to the exposed frame.
