Wisconsin area events

Kind of like all the Ents in the Penokees last summer that led to a flatbed conversion...

 

Exactly. When you look at the bright side, the word “incident” is just another word for “opportunity”. Or even another way of saying “solution” (if you define the problem as “not having justification for a steel bumper”).

It’s all about silver linings people!

 

WTF are you all talking about?

I must of hit my head harder than I thought.

 

Jason allegedly may or may not have backed into a post at a gas station near Wyalusing, damaging the plastic cover.

It may have proven to be a clever way of convincing the wife to get a steel rear bumper.

...allegedly.

 

Perhaps I need to back into a post. Hmmm.

 

I know a post ..... Could be persuaded to back into you.

 

Acutely bent the metal frame in the bumper just a smidge. Wife still thinks I did it on purpose. I may or may not have....Guess we'll never know.

 

I backed into a post on sat. morning & hardly dented my bumper!


Thanks @pearing

 

I back into a tree and hit the trailer hitch.
No damage.

Boy, I fucked that up.
Damm tree should of been over to the right a few inches.

 

Well put!

 

I backed into a tree once.

Bed is still very massaged from that one

 

I'll need to pay attention the closer it gets to Wyalusing.
As mentioned, overnights are out of the question but it's only a 3 hr. drive from here. Something like Saturday morning, let me know what time everyone starts rolling out of their flatbeds and get movin'. I can be up early enough to drive down and meet up for the day.
Would also need to know if the days venture will require extra gas.

 

Well shit I'm jumping in on this seeing we all like backing into shit. I backed into a big ass Yellow Poll outside of Livingston Book store in AZ. Still have the same bumper on the truck

 

You didn't hit it hard enough

 

It's a good thing these trucks are equipped with backup cameras.

 

True that!

 

We usually start here at 8 or 9am.

We usually work our way down to Potosi on the Trans Wisconsin trail, which is just a bunch of scenic back roads. Then we usually get something to eat, or head back to Wyalusing. Some details could change, but that's generally what the day goes like.

 

I hit hard enough to bounce my head off the headrest!

 

I took a hard hit in Moab when @Stoney Ranger was spotting and filming me at the same time. He was using his new cellphone.
It would've made a great video.
But,,,
I'll let Dave finish the story.

 

Wisconsin Group:

I know I only asked yesterday, but... I need people to talk to me about participating in the Arkansas Trip. I have @Stoney Ranger and @rubbersidedown saying they are in. @CygnusX191 has committed to meeting us in MO for the first day or so. @Snowy was a maybe??? The meet up spot is near Springfield MO at an offroad park called SMORR (Home Page - SMORR) on Friday 3/22. My current plan is to play there Saturday (3/23) and start the trip Sunday with some fun FS roads down through southern MO into the Ozarks (Look at YouTube for FS (fs 509, 507, 604 etc.) roads near the Glade Top Scenic Road...) From there I have not done the planning yet but I have some fun ideas.

I am trying to keep this "local." Anyone is welcome, but I am trying to keep it as "local" as possible (to this group of hooligans) because I don't want the stress of planning for others. We kinda know each other and know what we are getting (so to speak.) If you are on the fence... this will have something for everyone and every ability. Always safe (I am very different than the nut you see at Tigerton on a overland trip like this-trust me.) Moab scared me pretty good last year with my breakage... I don't think a stock truck will be a problem once we get down there, but I will predicate it with tow points and recovery are a MUST. There will be water crossings. It's what they do down there. I did some big ones last time and kinda scared myself, so I am not looking for that level of adventure. I want rock. Mud if I have to... The ones (water crossings) I am thinking of at this point 31's should be fine (but as you know-35's make everything better!) but that depends on rainfall. Also, it is remote!!!

When I originally proposed this I had way north of eight people chiming in, but if its two that is fine. Let me know who is in and what level of difficulty you are wanting (scenic dirt road wandering, narrow scratchy dirt road wandering, holy sheet how did we get here wandering, nope e nope e hell no nope!!!) so I can get the planning going with our Arkansas brethren.
