2013 T.A.Co. Gathering - Official Thread

Yeah that will definitely suck. A lost are for sure but that is why I am trying to learn all I can about it. Ya know keep the fire going and plus it is pretty fun to mess with honestly

 

Check 1 more thing off the list! Got my CB in the mail today after work and just finished hooking everything up. Now just need to find someone to tune it.

 

I plan to bring my SWR meter for anyone that needs to use it if you can't find one by next week.

 

Awesome I'm going to get retuned

But I wouldn't mind adjusting down there again

 

I'll bring my SWR meter also.

 

I'm not sure we'll make it in time for it so our spot may open up as well.

I'd pay to see that

I'm not familiar with White Rim but trails like Fins N Things (and Hells Revenge) are within Sand Flats Recreation Area so you have to pay a small fee, $10 for camping or $5 for just a day pass per vehicle or $10 for a week pass in order to get to them.

 

well for the ppl that didnt get added to trails im pretty sure people are going to go on other trails that same day cause some trails are short, depending on what time we finish a trail one day i might be down for another short trail run that same day, its not like where going to run one at 8am and finish and call it a day. Of course some trials are longer then other ones, but if you plan on running a short one i bet you can squeeze another trail in that same day just saying

 

Ha ha well that might just be the case then bud lol we will figure it out on Sunday when I get down there

 

just talked to the other group of guys doing it and they say wednesday sounds like a good day to do it. I don't know what day we are going to do Trifecta but if we do it early enough we can do metal masher as well...

 

So Wed will be Prichett???? What time??

 

Sweet I am lookin forward to trifecta. Metal masher looks like fun honestly. 5 more days lol

 

these are not the only options for trails...this is for planning purposes for those who know what they're doing really.

there will be a marker board at camp used for trail signups the next day.

those who will not be staying at BFE would be best to utilize the early signup so they know where to meet and who they will be running with.

there are so many options to go explore over there, don't feel like you're shut out if you're not on one of these lists.

come see me at camp, i'll have print outs of most of the trails and i also have a trail book you can look at to help decide where you want to go.

and if a trail is full, with exception to the long trails like trifecta, just wait an hour or so and get another group together and run it. that will give some gap between groups to keep the trail flowing smoothly and not bunch us all up. also makes it easier for the trail leader to manage the smaller group and not a massive group...not to mention the blm permits needed for the massive groups.

if anyone has any questions, feel free to give me a call. three one five 5 two 9 9 four four three

 

awesome! glad you can make it over!

i am planning on doing white rim tuesday in a day...just start early and plan on finishing around sun down. the most common path is to start in canyonlands, take shafer trail down and continue around from there. that requires entrance fees.

you could also go in mineral canyon then end with shafer trail out or go out potash road (not sure if you hit the gates before mineral canyon)

or go up potash road into canyonlands that way. no ranger station that way.

reservations are for the campsites around the trail. i would guess they are all full at this point.

if you do it in a day, you have to be selective on the hikes you do

 

updated as of this morning

see you guys in a week

 

hahaha he has spoken....

Bob, and everyone. weds. Hells revenge run is capped off. if someone bails day of we can add someone else but as of right now 18 is more than

Also, due to the size of this gathering now, i will be staying at camp with Bob wed. to get everyone registered. My gf Kim will be driving my truck and leading the hells revenge run...

 

She can do it!

 

Everyone keep an eye out Weds evening for a white 1st gen taco with a slightly dented roof.

JK Jace.

 

Bob plz move this to first page:

People remember to bring a little extra oil for Moab! Over filling the oil by half a quart helps alot with oil starvation at steep angles. over fill it when u get there, drain it when u get home.

 

lol im just playing.... Kim will be driving in the first section but ill be driving most of it
