Trees Ranch March 23-25

Not sure if anyone is going, but I have been wanting to head back there since the last TSJM.
Hopefully we won't have freezing temperatures like we did in 2009.

I am going with my buddy Paul. He wheeled with some of you guys this last weekend at Canyons. He's in the CJ running on Propane.

Let me know if you are planning on attending. This place is only open once or twice a year.
I'll be heading up there on Friday, returning on Sunday. It is near Kerrville.

As I said on the phone, Ill check with the wife and see what she has off but I would like to go. I also want a few more upgrades before I go and break $H1+ all whilly nilly

I would love to.

It was fun during TSJM.

I am on this job until the last week in March then it's off to Gilmer for the weekend.

That's too bad Ron. Enjoy Barnwell Mountain.
I know Spanishgoose is going to Trees.

I'll be there all weekend. Where exactly is this place? I can't seem to find a web site nor an address...

Directions and Maps

Trees Ranch Offroad Park is located South of I-10 between Kerville and Junction just past the famous YO Ranch. From Kerville travel west on I-10 until you reach HWY 41, exit and travel South. You will reach an intersection at HWY 41 and HWY 83, this intersection is your last opportunity to purchase fuel. Garvin's store is located at this intersection and it's approximately 20 miles from the Ranch. Continue through the intersection onto HWY 41 about 9 miles until you reach County Road 336. County Road 336 "T's" into HWY 41 on the East side. Turn left and proceed East. **Caution** this is a free range area with sheep and deer roaming the road. Drive about 6 miles and turn right on County Road 3235. Proceed over "3" cattle guards and just past the 3rd cattle guard turn left. You are now at Trees Ranch. Proceed about a mile until you see the Ranch House. Please follow the posted signs and park your tow rig or vehicle in designated area.

I just checked out their maps. Looks like they have more trails then Hidden Falls, can't wait to go play there....

Excellent! Good find. Google didn't turn it up. Looks like they need better web guys

http://www.treesranch4x4.com/TROschedule.htm seems to indicate that there will be a number of events there this year. Good times. Lots of good info on the site.

You are right, oh, there is nothing wrong with my google? Your's must be broken, or it's time for you to get re-edumicated (trying my best red neck accent I can do) in this century's technology. LOL

Yeah, well, maybe. Either way I got the airbags and compressor setup in my truck Sunday, so I'm properly equipped to haul 15k lbs worth of gooseneck with a pair of Jeeps on it to wherever we need to go. I'm really hoping my friend John (you might remember him from the Off-Road Ready picnic) gets his CJ7 completed before Longs and Trees, and my dad's raring to go again, already talking about rockers and corners and lifts and tummy tucks for his LJ Rubi

The good part is that since they have RV hook-ups at Trees, I can haul the Jeeps while John can haul his 36' 5th wheel for a comfy night's stay...

I would try and contact them to confirm the RV hook ups. I'm sure they're there, but Trees has been shut down for a few years.

I can still remember the wind during the TSJM..... jeebus.

That was about the only thing that sucked... other than the guide holding us back all day.

That was the best hotel for the money I had spent in my life.
What was it 30F with 50MPH winds. That was one freakishly cold weekend.
The guide for the SA group was OK.

Looks like we will be going on this trip and canceling Longs. Have a boy scout campout the weekend of the 17th.
