This run will be in addition to the official one 10/14-10/16.

When: September 30-October 2

Where: Hidden Falls Adventure Park 7030 E FM 1431, Marble Falls, TX 78654 (830)798-9820

Optional meet up: Sept 30th at 6 pm Janie's Tacos & Deli 909 Ave H, Marble Falls, TX 78654


Copied from the other thread thus Bubba (Granite Head) will still be taking point.

Hey everyone its time to start planning a fall run out to Hidden Falls Adventure Park. Last years turn out was pretty good and had a mixed variety of rigs so I think we'll make 2 separate groups of beginners and experienced. You know your limits so don't feel like just because your rig has all the big boy mods you HAVE to be in a group that’s going to take you out of your comfort zone. Last year we planned to meet up in Marble falls for dinner and then head out to the park to set up camp, but that didn't work out to well. Mostly because the out-of-towners were pressing to get there on time and in the end we all just ended up meeting at camp. This year the option is to meet at Janie's Tacos and Deli in Marble Falls. It’s in the middle of town and right off of 1431 which is the road out of town that the park is on, which should make it easier to meet up and head out together for those that wish to do so. If not, head straight out to the park.

The plan is for someone to volunteer to be a trail lead and tail gunner for each group. Ideally, the trail lead and gunner for each group should get with the members of their respective group on the evening of the 14th and get familiar. this would also be a good time for everyone to go over each others rigs and possible find anything that could fixed before heading out on the trail the next morning. Its possible some might want to cut their fenders that night. Please wait until 2 am on the 15th to do so. On the morning of the 15th we will hold a drivers meeting for each group and then part ways. Lunch back at camp is optional as it can sometimes be easier to stay on the trails. The night of the 15th we will BBQ as a group and decide if we want to run some more trails in the morning or break camp and go home. For now we'll leave that as TBD.

I personally don't know the park well enough to be a trail lead at this time. That could change by then but I doubt it. So anyone feel free to volunteer for the trail leads and tail gunner positions. I do ask that the people that volunteer for these roles have their routes predetermined before we get there. If you want a cabin I recommend you call now and reserve it. The number to the park is at the top of the thread. We can decide how to handle the BBQ once we have an accurate head count. Could be BYOM or a couple of people volunteer to handle it and we all throw a few bucks their way to cover the cost.


If you're interested please reply to this thread and let me know what group you want to be in. Please let me know if you wish to be a trail lead or a tail gunner. Hope to see you there!

Put me down for the beginner group I won't miss this one. It's at a perfect time for me
 
got the word this morning on swapping a day out so I will be off for sure and able to make it out there for the run .. heck I get lucky in my days off that week are wens. thurs. so I got lots of time to kill before hand as well ... prolly head off that way on wens. camp out in a S.P. somewhere in the area then head over there fri . for the meet and more camping woohoo :thumb: so consider tail gunner spot in beginner group as filled :rock:
 
So... I am thinking something similar if not the same trail run Proposed in the Official run.

I've been wanting to run the full FM TRO (level 3-5) for a while now... maybe we can run the first half of the trail as a whole group, then break the groups apart when the beginners start sweating. the experienced group continue past the last bypass on FM TRO up to toyota (4) stay on toyota to the fence, then come down black cat/green mile (4) then depending on time, meet up with the beginers at the tower for a pic then head back to camp for lunch... then we can grab some of the shorter trails in the afternoon like no name, midnight run, wet n wild, bronco buster, etc?

Peeps in experienced, thoughts?
 
Hey guys. I'm off, so I'd love to drive over Friday & try it. I just got a JKUR, and these tires are like street tires, but I can get a CB popped in, and probably skid plates, before and run the beginner group, if you think it will make it. I'd be driving 9 hours from MS, and I'd love to meet some of you.

Stock rigs can run the trails. If not that is what straps and winches are for. Bring some recovery gear if you can.

I'm down! someone pic the hotel and we can request a few rooms close together :thumb:

We should nail this down before the weekend is over so we can get some rooms together. Sooner the better. I really don't want to take point on this but if someone wants to, try to keep it in the 80-100 range per night. We don't need a Hilton or Hotel Zaza...just a please to sleep and shower. :icon_crazy: If not no big deal, we will find a place in our price range.
