San Antonio

Doing ok, just finished a strange movie but it was ok since it was free.

 

You headed to HF for Saturday with a primered bumper? Sitting this one out?

 

Nice there's one down the road from my place, some guy there has some real good honey. I've thought about going to one to sell kombucha I make, and beard balm i also make.

What movie? I like strange movies.

 

Yeah, we've bought some honey and jams before, nice folks with good stuff. Think wife has a friend coming so she thought I should go do it. Just hope to recover the money I spent on the little table, and it will be all right. Got the EZ-up for beach and COTA C&C events, so can sit in shade - of course it's all under huge oaks anyway.

STRANGE movies, or strange movies?

Oh, and my LBR is "qualified" for park roads out at Hidden Falls. I will take a park road to the top of the mountain someday for my picture.

 

Ah yes, I forgot it's Friday night, and I know where the kids are:

Sounds like a relaxing time in the morning. I plan on getting a roof rack and have an awning mount on it. I need to read up more on HF, first i heard about it was a few weeks ago on here. I havent been camping in a while but im very much into backpacking/primitive camping.

 

You could easily do a lot out at HF, since you are 4WD; I would not tackle the ridiculous stuff with your tires though. Mine were aggressive enough to get through some mud and rutted roads, since I was there after weeks of rain. After getting in, I parked and rode with @MattCowsmasher , and that was the whole afternoon.
Then, going out, I fell in a hole!

All good. Just always have a friend! With a strap. And have a shackle in your kit.
And save your money for your incoming family - you going to need it.
Lots of good deals to be found around here, let everyone know what you are looking for. There are certain people with a "knack" for finding them!

 

That sounds like it was a good time. I've mostly stuck to wheelin in sand and light ranch stuff. I'm pretty confident in sand but more technical stuff I'm a noob. I need to get some recovery gear too. However, i do have a nice strap I carry all the time. I intend to, i appreciate that. I landed an interview for a new position within work so I'm hoping that all works in my favor.

 

Well, best of luck indeed!

I'd never done any "wheeling" before that trip. I have taken lots of vehicles down to PINS to the 5 mile marker without issue, and grew up in the snow and ice of the North. Crawling around on stuff that will break my truck is NOT really for me, but riding with someone who enjoys it is OK, and I would like to become a good spotter at sometime. I just want to go to the top of the mountain for the view, and then DRIVE my 2WD PreRunner home!
I had a great time on that "trail ride" with mostly the SA bunch. That is more me. But if you can get to HF with someone adventurous, DO IT! It's a great learning experience.

 

Thank you sir! Its nice going out to PINS. One trip I went on we were drinking and shark fishing all night, but on the drive way out to our spot we drove by a homemade beacon. Im more than positive someone had a drug drop off out there, there where a bunch of 50 gallon drums emptied around that beacon with a truck driving out in the dunes. I agree, I would like to drive my truck home. At the same time I want to see what my trucks limit is.

 

That's a place to find out - with the group of course! See the thread on the newest pages...

Oh yea, looks painful. Lol. Tie rod?

 

Yeah, someone has a spare around, he'll be OK.
@hoverlover you going out in the AM, take Alex 2.0 on a thrill ride, since I know you will have to be home....

 

I actually am on child duty this weekend. The Mrs. Is working. Going bowling tomorrow.

 

Quite fine. If you do make your first trip, I would certainly recommend touching base with Alex 1.0, aka @hoverlover , because he has done the gnarliest stuff out there, with minimum breakage.

 

I'll keep that in mind! I feel its somewhat similar to mountain biking. Finding the easiest route to have a smooth ride, with some sections taking it real slow.

 

HF truly does have trails for every aspect, even if I can't do them. There are several slow, master the rock areas, creeks and falls making a climb slippery, many other challenges over a 2WD. But also, things that I can do (If it hasn't rained!)
There is another place out there called Wolf Something, but that is ROCK CRAWLING for like almost all of it. Few in this group go there. So for climbing some hills, mastering varying levels of rock, at a place with camping and improved camping, HF is pretty much the deal in Central Texas.
Since so many of us go, pretty easy to hook up with a group.

 

Nice. Ill try to go the next round up then. Definitely peaking my interest just talking about it. Well partner, I'm off to finish my brew then crash out. Hope the farms market does well for you tomorrow!
