Where to?

Halfj-7 · 01-10-2007, 06:51 AM

Just thinking the caves might offer some protection from winter winds.

Cole82 · 01-10-2007, 07:21 PM

I don't care where we go.
Winter is striking again. The caves might be the best option for timly starts and what not.

Im cool with the caves ive heard some pretty cool stories about them. anyone have a morton building? we could setup some cool stuff in one of those and be protected from all the elements.

JeepManMarc · 01-11-2007, 12:12 AM

hmm, my uncle has a whole farm with a few morton buildings, I am sure it wouldnt be an issue, but telling that many people how to get there would be a huge mess, its about an hour and a half south of cedar rapids near Marshalltown... And then at that point what would you use for terrain? I mean there are plenty of dekalb seed corn sacks but that would get old..

My vote was for the caves, havent been there yet and it seems like a neat place.

ps: When is winter striking?

invertman · 01-11-2007, 06:32 PM

yea,
the caves are cool with me also.

Soya · 01-11-2007, 09:08 PM

I don't care really.

gooba · 01-16-2007, 10:07 PM

Mnster · 01-17-2007, 09:13 PM

Correct, Unless we come up with something else.

JeepManMarc · 01-18-2007, 03:23 PM

mwrrcr · 01-20-2007, 08:45 PM

im down with the caves

Soya · 01-20-2007, 11:08 PM

That's quite a link.

Cole82 · 01-23-2007, 06:37 AM

I might have to drive up there and check on the crawling. We have a lot of snow that doesn't want to melt.

Etype R · 01-23-2007, 10:43 AM

If our club wasn't holding a meeting on the 4th, I would have been up for going to this comp too. I just purchased a set of rock sliders for my toyota truck from a guy thats not to far out from the caves. He won't be shipping them until the first of next month, I was considering driving down there to have them installed and hit up another comp. But our meeting is that weekend.

Cole82 · 01-23-2007, 04:25 PM

Resschedule the meeting, You know you would rather go to a comp than a meeting.

mwrrcr · 01-24-2007, 05:15 PM

how about a head count ?

im in for 2.2 for sure

Etype R · 01-24-2007, 08:34 PM

Well I asked about pushing it back a week and one of our members said he will be going to the apple valley farms RPM offroad event the following weekend. I forgot about this event, and was considering going my self. I'll probably wait till spring time before I hit up another of your comps, its not often that I find another excuse for driving down that way :-P
