[BWAF]

Meh. Snuffs thread needed some traffic

I'm excited, been wanting to ride up there since I got the ATV a few years ago but couldn't ever get anyone to make the journey up there.

You should have fun

 

[Russ989]

I’ve already traded to go to the TO, there’s only two of us that do my job so I’m on call every other week.

I hear you don't want to wear it out ,that would suck with 2 guys lots of two weeks in a row

It can be a challenge at times. To make it even better, our on call starts and ends on Wednesday!

A group of us are looking to gather at Mulberry Mountain Lodging near Combs, AR to ride on the weekend of Feb 28th-Mar 1st. I am sure there will be several in the group that arrive as early as Thursday. Currently the potential for Cabins and Campsites is pretty open as we still have the potential for a little cooler weather.

Couple of Cautions:

1. We like to avoid posting to FB about these rides at Mulberry - while there are nice Rangers out there we know that they watch the FB groups for rides in the Mulberry area and adjust their schedule accordingly - it should be early enough in the year that we will be off radar
2. If you are invited to play Cards against Humanity - note that playing that game is cursed at Mulberry - at least one person who plays will not make the ride the next day and there is a 50% chance you will never get on the forum again - you have been warned

Additional Info:

• Two-way Radio - highly recommended
  • FRS 4 (462.6375) and FRS 6 (462.6875) will be starting freq and we will adjust from there
• Milwaukee Heated Jackets and Vest are going on sale now (just saying)
• Due to the length of the trails (away from camp) be prepared with all the food and drinks (as well as clothing) that you need to sustain yourself and your riders for that days ride.
• Skid plates recommended but not required
• Spare tire, plugs, compressor (don't necessarily need to take spare on trail be good idea to have one back at camp

Itinerary will be loose as it has always been based on when people arrive. Usually there is a ride Friday during the day that will start about 10am or so. Night rides will happen and usually start based on when people get back in from the days ride. The Mill creek trails are clearly marked and have multiple sources of maps available.

Tagging the people who sign up to attend last years ride - feel free to tag additional folks

[Ragnar406]

Who in the heck would schedule a ride in Arkansas in February????

Hey we are at the end of this month this year lol... last year it was the beginning

in all seriousness the campground was mostly booked already on any of the following weekend s and that also got into spring break time (one reason booked)

 

[Razorback]

Who in the heck would schedule a ride in Arkansas in February????

Right!!! Expect temperatures between 20-90 degrees. Bone dry to 10 inches of rain or 6 inches of snow.

 

[JTW]

[Ragnar406]

That’s like every weekend in AR outside of summer ... except snow - we have not had a good snow in 6 years

I know. I was hoping for snow or a little ice this weekend to play in.

Hey guys, some info requested please since we are new to the site and have never been to Mulberry;

1. Is the any preferred method to camping, we do not have a camper but are fully outfitted for tenting although the wife has indicated lodging may be the way to go.
2. Is the area pet friendly and does anyone bring dogs on the trail rides? I'll need to make arrangements for our three Brittanies if they are not welcome.
3. For the veterans of the ride, any helpful tips you can provide to prepare us for a good fun weekend would be appreciated.

Thanks All
