You have a basement in Springfield??? Must be one of the few down there

Yea it was for sure not easy to find one with a basement.

That sounds good. I'll keep you posted! Probably head out of St. Louis by 9 or 10.

We were planning on dropping the kids at daycare in Washington around 8:00 and leaving from there, think we could meet in St. Clair by 9:00? I know it's a while out, just keep me posted. Are you guys planning on camping or staying in a hotel?

If it's gonna be later, we'll grab breakfast at Mickey D's while we wait for you

Are there any good water crossings at the park, for some reason I have a thing for driving through water. :thumb:

Depends on rain fall. There are a few trails that are literally driving up/down a creek. Was planning on hitting them since they're on the easier end of the spectrum and still kinda fun.

Are you guys still looking to add a few jeepers?

Yes we are, interested in joining us?

If I can sneak away from softball and baseball games, I'd like to drive over.

Sure, some of us are wheeling Friday, some Saturday.

 

[Kickrocks]

I would love to join, if I am still in the state. I can let you guys now further once the date draws nearer.


Thanks

Want me to put you on the maybe list?

Maybe list?

Sure, I'm gonna try and get over there this summer. Kids just have ball every wknd, so might be tough.

I'm here this weekend. Great place. I got a chance to speak with one of the SMORR guides about the trails. As well as my personal experience.

1 - basically a level gravel road
2 - drove a bunch of these today - mostly tight turns with some off-camber spots and a few ledges that are no taller than 12 inches
3 - more off-camber stuff. Steeper climbs. Rocks that are soccer ball size for some trails. Ledges around 18 inches
4 - lots of off camber. Rocks that are between soccer ball and beach ball. Ledges in tough hill climbs.
5 - very challenging. Lockers a must. Likely to damage something.

I did Larry's Hill and the Black Momba hill today. Those are ratings of low 5. That's my upper limits.

I'll post a more detailed report of the trails we ran when I return on Sunday.
