[mikepeters1983]

Hey, Just figured that I would post this now.

I will be going on close to a 6900 mile road trip when I get back from Afghan. I posted a pic of the map, and the way that I should be going. but along the way I wont mind meeting up and seeing other ORTB's out there. I have some places that I will be stopping in no matter what. Dates are unknown as of right now. Should be sometime in April to early May. but I will list the main stops that I will be doing along the way and if you see that you are or might be close and maybe want to get together and hit a trial for a few hours let me know. I am posting this now so if I need to edit any thing I can.

So I will be leaving Sierra Vista, AZ

3 days in NJ/VA wheeling
2 days to FL
2 days in fl wheeling
1 day to GA
3 days in GA family
7 days back to AZ

staying a night in New Orleans poss for a break. If any one wants to meet up on the way please let me know and I can make the right ajusments. I have 30 days with a passanger so driving might be cut down a litte.


If anyone is near any of these stops, and would like to show me some good places to wheel and have fun please post your name and location so I can figure it in to the trip. And as soon as I know more info on the dates I will let everyone know and keep you all up to date. If Poss I would not mind hitting up a few trails in IN, VT, VA, FL and anywhere else. I just know that there are people that live near a few of the stops that I will be doing. Also if you know any short cuts please let me know. So please list where you are if you are interested and thanks.

(also MODS, if this is in the wrong stop please move it. did not know if I should put it in trails, and trips cause it is mostly highway)

Looks like quite the road trip. Add me to your Indianapolis stop, and I will make sure to provide another set of hands and tools to get that body lift installed. Stay safe out there, your on the down slope, time should start to move a bit faster now!

Added, and thanks. I got alot of things I got to try to do while I am there lol.

Not really moving faster lol, if anything moving slower lol. But I got everything that I need all ready ordered but the tires, and the PMC for less tune. Getting that in a few weeks. I am going to have one hell of a beast lol.

Deland is not that far from me.. you should add St Augustine to your list of stops..

lol I thought that you were in Saint Petersburg man. lol ok I will have to edit that for where you are then lol

[Mooseknuckle]

Damn! Now thats a trip! Myself and Gordinho80, Irishboy,and MrSmithsTB all live in NJ. So since your gonna be in Vermont and heading down to GA.&FL. Your most likely gonna be taken 95 south. There are a couple of spots to go off-roading here in NJ maybe we could hit Wharton up. Let me know when your gonna be around this area and we will set something up! Be safe out there!

[DmccartneyFF2TB]

You can meet me in Greenfield MA which is 15 mins from Bratt. Then we can hit any type of trail you would like to in Western Mass. Maybe Jansey86 will be comin out by then and we can have a TB army...

[janesy86]

Yea dude, if your swinging by Western Ma, I'll shoot out from Boston to hit some trails with you and Damian.

For every in NJ, what would it take to maybe do a small TECORE for a few days, maybe 3 days max? be nice to go one on so I can put the sticker and so I can at least know and have to fun or going with ORTB's only lol.

[markmc]

[mikepeters1983]

hey Mike
do you have dates yet?

As of right now no I do not. I dont know when they are going to give us dates. As of right now from what I am being told, I prob wont find out till march, and or the end of FEB being the earliest.

[Hpimichael02]

Would really depend on when you're going to be around. TECORE has been held in VA, twice a year, spring and fall. If your trip will put you in the area during one of those seasons, perhaps it can be discussed.

I know JD will be planning TECORE 5 soon.
