For friends that aren't members here, we generally ask that they just ride along, but if he really wants to drive his truck with us, he's going to need to become a member here and understand the modus operandi of our group.


Ok sounds good. I definetly would not have mentioned it if I didn't think was worthy of attending. He just bought the truck and is looking for a good trip to go on with good people and I can vouch for the people on this site instead of some other group. I told him that not being a gm would hold some negative ground.

Don't worry, looking at the sign up list we already have a punching bag coming that would be hard to trump...

Now go look everyone! See if you can find our black sheep!

TrailShaman has a Ford F150.
His TB was unfortunately totaled a while back and he got a deal on the Ford from his dad.

As much as it pains me with regret, I won't be attending, but that's becuase of some great exciting opportunities for us. We might be out west sooner than later.

This may seem like a rather odd question, but how low is the foliage in the forest?

It all starts on the ground and grows up and or outward.

Don't worry about the height, I doubt you will be the tallest rig there.

It's actually more afraid of me!

I have the following week off before my summer internship starts so I was thinking about bringing my kayak and stopping by summerville lake for a few days on the ride back home. However if the tree's are too low or over hang too much, then I obviously don't want to bring the kayak as it'll just get in the way.

JD's RTT hasn't been ripped up yet and it's made the last 5 tecores and other trips to the same area.

I honestly think you will be fine. You may have a spot or two where you have to watch yourself. Frankenstien is Fricking TALL and found a way through all of it. Seriously, I'm on 35's and he makes my truck look stock. lol
