I know its a little late notice, but the brother-in-law and I are planning on going to Dirty Turtle on Saturday(4/13/13). Open invite to anybody that wants to go, and wasn't fortunate enough to make TECORE. The plan is to do some light trail riding. Want to put the TB through some of its paces, but not kill it. Then watch some of the guys take on the Bounty Hills. Just a day trip.

I DON'T care what my GMT360 was designed to do, I care about what it can do!

Several guys I know will be there but I already got a commitment.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.

I've been wanting to check out the Dirty Turtle, but I've already got three commitments on Saturday.

I should've wrote that the bro in law, and I, decided to not go for that reason and others. I should've posted that, and I didnt.... And for that, my sincerest apologies. But in my defense, no one else expressed any interest in going. I also chose not to go, because my truck, I feel, isn't quite up to the task yet. No recovery equipment, no trail buddy in a secondary rig to help with recovery, also contributed. Know your limitations. Plus the fact that it was probably packed, and didn't want to deal with possible D-Nozzles, if I did get stuck and held up anyone.

Yea i think it would be tricky over there in the mud, it gets rough in places when dry, but some people like to lend a hand and a tow rope.
