No one died so it was a good start to the trip! I definitely test the durability of my skid plates though!

Ok its 6:40 am where's everybody at ain't it time to GO!
I think I know who didn’t win the margarita drinking contest yesterday. Lol.

Rumor has it that a running engine on an off-road vehicle will summon other like minded off-roaders from the deepest of slumbers.

Alternatively the smell of cooking bacon seems to have a similar affect. Warning this can also be deemed a mating call for the Fatsquatch so be prepared to say no homo.

In case you missed this yesterday......


Ok trying to get a group together for a timed departure is like herding cats, especially via online forum. But here goes.

Ideally need to depart from El Ray's Mexican restaurant Friday morning at 9AM sharp so we can get back by dark. That means everyone already topped off with fuel , ice, etc. I will be there about 8:30 AM in the morning.

I will be monitoring FRS/GMRS Channel 7 same frequency as all the little handheld radios you get get every where.

Please always make sure the driver of the machine behind you sees which way you are turning, I can only track about 10 machines back with any luck by myself. I will not intentionally leave anyone behind and need everyone else to have the same mindset.

Thre round trip loop will be right at 100 miles, I have taken dozens of Pioneers and Talons and not one has ever run out of gas if they were full when we left. On this route you may only need 4WD in about a 6 mile section, the rest turf mode gets the job done easily. About halfway there we will have a 6 mile lengthy hill climb that has some rock ledges and washouts in 2 sections, these will need your attention in wheel placement, in 40 machines I have brought this way in past 2 weeks only 1 flipped on its side.

I have 2 spare radios that hopefully someone in the middle and the last machine will use if they don't have one already, that way we can stop and get through without leaving people way back or losing anyone. I had 4 machines my last group take a wrong turn , had to stop everyone for an hour, found them in the edge of Brimstone 5 miles the wrong way.

That said everyone had a great time.

Planned route is to go to Eternal Flame, then west and south by mostly trail to Brushy Mountain Pennetentiary, eat & let everyone look around then head back by 5pm stopping at New River Train for pictures etc. and back to exit 141

My cell # is (618) 204-3229 Bob Stovall , much of our route will be no cell service until on mountain tops.

The route is below, Top right is from RRB, bottom left is Brushy Mountain, run loop counterclockwise.

For those riding tomorrow that want me to show them around Sundquist unit meet at Mexican restaurant at 10AM. Will hit waterfalls, rock formations, caves, etc. Will be able to adapt route for about a 6 to 8 hr ride and get back to your accommodations by evening dinner.

Me, I'm packing a subway sandwich for lunch on the trails somewhere.
