Up near Dallas Far for SA group

Awesome write up. I think a large park should be a priority. Traffic jams suck!

There is a new 5000 acre park that will be opening in December in Ozona. Again a long drive for Houston and Waco.

Subject: Re: TSJM options Pros and cons all Mon 26 Oct 2009, 8:16 pm

i dont think long drives should be listed as a con unless its a long drive for all 3 chapters. if it's up north, us SA guys should just have to suck it up.

seems to be a long drive for one chapter or the other with pretty much every choice.

$100.00 per weekend... that's kinda steep for me. unless that price includes at least 2 good meals.

Subject: Re: TSJM options Pros and cons all Mon 26 Oct 2009, 8:34 pm

to me it seems to either be shiloh or barnwell for this event

Subject: Re: TSJM options Pros and cons all Mon 26 Oct 2009, 9:05 pm

Hell I'm in SA but wouldn't mind giving barnwell a shot you know something from the rocks

Subject: Re: TSJM options Pros and cons all Mon 26 Oct 2009, 9:12 pm

Shiloh at night may bring back scary memories for some of us.....

Only if you forget to air down lol!

Barnwell over Shiloh. Better facilities, more challenging trails, little mud. I'll drive wherever, because I just want to wheel.

Subject: Re: TSJM options Pros and cons all Tue 27 Oct 2009, 3:12 am

Well just to put my 2 cents into it, i wont be on this trip unless its mid feb bc ill be deployed, i think shiloh would be god for the SA crew only bc it would remind them of devils den

Subject: Re: TSJM options Pros and cons all Tue 27 Oct 2009, 9:09 am

I'm with Jody, I'll wheel where ever to group wants to go.
I have no problems driving for 10 hours or more for a great wheeling spot.
So anything less is just gravy.

Another thing about Barnwell. It would be an opportunity to get the Dallas peeps involved with the group again and help us grow the event.
