I can basically be anywhere whenever. Are we going to Bauden Park? You had mentioned Devil's Lake too. Either one is cool with me though. I know exactly where Bauden Park is so I would just need a time if thats where we're headed.

Thanks!
Matt

For now I'd just like to go to Baumen park, I guess. Devils lake is the king of all places but I'd like to get some tuning in before the big run. I'm free after 1 my brother won't be able to come till after 3.

Well, like I said, I'm available whenever you guys are. I'll be in Rockford all day on Sunday so any time would work. Is anyone else planning on coming out? Keep me posted.

Thanks!
Matt

I yeah I just picked up one of those digital mail scales. I'll bring it in case someone wants to weigh their truck. Soya maybe 13-15lb With the kongs probably 20lb. My old truck with the cage was probably around 10-11 pounds.

That'll work. Now, I haven't been to Bauman Park in a few years, so I don't recall the layout of it. Is there somewhere where we can all meet?

It's nearly gone now at least in Byron anyways. At least the lake should be ice so if we roll over at least our trucks won't be under water. I guess there is still a chance of flurries for tomorrow and Sunday. :neutral: We meet in the parking lot closest to the lake the non handicapped one.

I can be there on sunday at 1:00 pm, I put my truck on a diet over the winter. It lost a few pounds from the wheels, which should help. Most of the snow has melted here in Rockford, a few flurries to night. I can check out Bauman Park out on Saturday and let you know if we can crawl.

Checked out Baumann Park this morning, most of the snow is off the rocks. Water level is up from the last time we were there, aprox 1/4-1" of ice on the lake. Sun is out, we should'nt have any problems crawling on Sunday unless the weather gets bad. I'll see you their on Sunday.

Had a good time today guys, It was very cold in the wind.

We'll meet up again soon maybe next time at Devils or Rock Cut.

Baumen park is fun but the rocks are just so random and rugged it's hard to find a open line or trail.

Definately want to try out Devil's Lake soon. The place by Cole looks to be pretty sweet too.
