V7Guy
Moots
Mooseknuckle
Mr.SmithsTB

Anyone that can make it to Lacey Township NJ on 11/24 is welcome!

Event Page:
https://www.facebook.com/events/1918054 ... ext=create

Location: "The Materials"; Lacey New Jersey.

Moots, V7guy, Sputnik312, friend me on FB and I will invite you to the trip. https://www.facebook.com/dave.vanbramer.5

Tools and recovery equipment is a plus, but there will be plenty out there amongst the group, CB RADIO is a must.
Josh has a couple handheld CB's for loaners

A shovel and a tire repair kit should be "required"
Straps and hi-lift is optional, as there will be plenty out there anyway.
Front and rear recovery points a plus.
Pack a lunch.
Be prepared for mud and water.
-wear appropriate shoes
-Have plenty of windshield washer fluid ;)
Bring your camera!
Bring your tools and spare parts if you have any. They can't hurt, but you probably won't need em. Terrain is pretty mild (my stock pickup can do it) But there is plenty of "optional" technical terrain to play on.

744 Lacey Road
Forked River, NJ 08731
(609) 693-6941

This Wawa is the probable meeting place. Right down the street from the location.
I already got definates from a few of the "Bricktucky" crew and I'm pretty sure Moots is going. Plus Myself and Josh.

I'm interested, but I've got early evening plans back here in NY. If we could meet up at the wawa by 0800 at the latest I wouldn't be upset about leaving at 15-1600. Might even bring the misses along.

Need sliders?

Wish I could make it, just a little too strapped for cash while I switch careers over the next 3.5 months going through training. Have to take a damn $400/ month payroll cut, which is half of my monthly play money.

No sliders needed, and even skids are optional. My stock pickup has ran there before. And Josh's truck has been there several times before he got skids. It is softer sand and mud mostly. And nothing hard is required. It is wide open "channels" through the woods. This place is huge and wide open. You can just ride around in the mud if you wanted to, but there is still plenty of hills and terrain to play on as well. I've only been there at night myself. It'll be cool to finally see just how massive this place is for me at least.

That's hard man. Too bad you can't make it.

Hey Dave thanks for the invite man- unfortunately I'm getting my wisdom teeth out on Monday next week so ill have to see how quickly I recover in order to determine if I'm up for going. It sounds like fun time I have been to the area a couple times over the summer and I really want to meet some members from the site. It looks like ill just have to play it by day and let you guys know
