You have July 10,11, and 12, which is a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Did you mean June 10-12, the Friday through Sunday? You may have meant July, just checking.

Either way, I'm definitely in! Sunday mornings are out for me, but every other day, I'm good! I'm glad someone followed through and got some planning going for Missouri. I'll stay up to date on this thread so I can plan out my trip down there.

We hosted the UCORA Crawl 4 Christ event there last summer. Great place to wheel. They offer a lot of woodsy trails with some boulders and hills. Some of the trails will be difficult for a Trailblazer level vehicle, and I'd say that 33s are the minimum tire size that will let most people enjoy a lot of the ranch (larger for the big stuff!).

Here are a few pics:

Our event will be at Harlan, Kentucky this year. Don't have to be a UCORA member to register and attend!
