|  MNRCRC Scale GTG 5/22/11
Sunday May 22nd we will be scale-ing it out at Banning State Park in Sandstone, MN. Mostly just trail riding, and wheeling. This will be a scale bash session/gtg, but I will bring some scaler markers in case we want to setup a course or two. Last year we had a blast wheeling here, but the river was too high to reach the 'island'. This year, the water level is down and the island is accessible... Just hope it doesn't rain this week.  We will meet at the parking lot at 11:00am, and crawl until whenever. You'll see in the map that I included a link to below, that the crawling area is a little ways away from the parking area. The signs there say a 1/4 mile, but it is an easy walk along a dirt path. Here's a map I put together on google maps that show the area: http://www.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF...04812&t=h&z=18 Notes about the map: As you travel south on Pine Ave approaching the gtg site, the road curves right and then curves left. When it curves left, it looks like you are supposed to veer right into some guys' driveway. DO NOT VEER RIGHT!!! This is a dead end, and private property. Instead stay on the main road to the left. The section of the map that looks like the road splitting off is actually a dirt path that follows the river. Ryan and I took this path, but didn't find much for crawling there. On the map linked above, I highlighted the 2 sections to stay away from in RED. Just simply stay on the main road (gravel) until you see large rocks on the right with a small parking area in front of it. There will be a sign for a walking path on the left. Also note, Pine Ave ends at a power station. If you reach this, just backtrack about a half mile until you see a parking area. Pics from last year: CLICK HERE for the tread where I posted pictures from my scouting trip to Banning State Park. CLICK HERE for pics from out last scaler gtg there. It is a great place to 'scale it out' at. Hope to see you there!  |

| Going for sure
I will be going and also rockwrecker and I will be ride sharing. I will be bringing 2 1.9 scale rigs and I hope to get my 2.2 scaler going, it will have the 2.2 Proline TSL Super Swampers on it. I just have to butcher the body to fit these huge tires on it. I have room for one more person in my car or 2 more people if I take the Jeep. If anyone else wants to ride share just let me know asap and we can work something out.

WildBill and I figured it out when we realized we had comp weekends back to back. It took a ton of marijuana research but I think we found a cure for glaucoma.. Wait.. What were we talking about? | |
