Best dates for Hot Springs?

[lesslimited]

BOB, Les (LBEXJ), and my wife and I will be there Thursday nite, wheeling Fri, Sat, probably Sunday. Also my bro-in-law who lives in Russelville will be coming down on Fri nite and riding along on Saturday. Come on by :wave:

 

[LBEXJ]

Yup ... I'll be there ... Hopefully before dark! Hope you can make it up Ramsey ...

me too but money is really tight. school is done thursday so maybe i can get some money from my books to go.

is everyone staying at the park? and does anyone know if there are any sites left

 

[LBEXJ]

I called about a month ago ... at that time no one else had made any reservations for this upcoming weekend. You'll just have to call them.

BTW: Yes, I have reserved camping (tent) at the park campgrounds. If you need to, you can join my site ... I am solo this trip.

[BOB]

I'll pop for a meal or two. Maybe, that'll help.

[LBEXJ]

Great ... You know John's (Lesslimited's) rig ... he's the one in the "Driveway Rockcrawling" thread. Bob's is in the "How do I Resize this Pic" thread ...

Mine ... well it's Green with black spots on it (touch up) ... but I do have "bling" Soft 8 Chrome Wheels ... and I'm a little 107 year old man. :laugh3:

We'll be watching for ya ...

how rough is hot springs? mine's only lightly modded, I'm not livin so large, anyone got pics of hot springs, or does anyone care to explain what we're up against?

 

[LBEXJ]

I've not been there yet, but I would imagine their trails range from mild to wild ... this to accommodate all 4-wheel drive enthusiasts.

Here's the link from Lesslimited's first post in this thread ... maybe you can get some more info there. HTH ...

i'm not gonna be able to make it, so you guys have a good time

if you have some open diffed rigs and want to run as a group, run the buckhorns. (North, South, and EAST) There are plenty of 4 & 5 offshoots for those willing, but the other guys can drive and spectate. South is especially good for this.

For those looking for more of a challenge, and haven't ever been, run Greg's Revenge, Four fingers, Greg's Rocks for some good solid rock

take pics!@

Here's a few pics from my last trip there...

looks like it is going to rain all day, or at least chance of rain all day throughout Illinois tomorrow. I wanted the car wash on the way BACK!

[Ramsey]

with a 40% saturday in hot springs, that should make for some fun trails

 

[BOB]

I didn't want to put a lot of miles on my Mickey Thompson Baja Claws. So, I have my regular road tires on. 31' BFG Long Trail tires. That sucks.

...BOB

 

[Ramsey]

your gonna run the bfgs?

 

[BOB]

No Choice. Plus, the M/T are crap on rainy roads.

...BOB

 

[LBEXJ]

Damn Bob ... Why don't you get a hold of a trailer and haul the tires down? You can change them over to the MT's to run trails, then put the BFG's back on for the trip home.

Just an idea ...

Les

 

[Ramsey]

definetly what i would do. gonna suck having to run at's. of course now when you make obsticals you can claim it was all skill!
