2 day Trail event for scalers in Marseilles, IL

Got my winch going again-short boring vid-
Also thanks to those who offered shafts but I got some of my summit shafts to work. I doubt this breaks anytime soon. The stock trail stomper shafts FELL APART on smooth grass and dirt. Not broke. The pins just came out. Jato worked good. Also the accessories are now affixed in the bed.

No rear bumper but there's a front one.

Not sure if my wife's going yet.
 
We've been discussing a schedule in the private NIRC forum.

We don't want to mislead anyone into thinking this is a perfectly laid out full event.

Most of NIRC has never been to the Cliffs offrad park.

I'm just throwing this out there to get the bll rolling.

How's this sound?

9am: meet at R Place and eat breakfast
10am: be at Cliffs and run/find good trails
12pm: be at Papa Murphs to set up camp, rest, take a break and eat if you want to and charge lipo's

2pm: Be at Cliffs for a mini "fun" comp placing flags in spots we found earlier
4pm: run uncharted territory, bash... wing it.
7pm: return to campground to make fire and cook dinner.
8pm: Some people can go back to Cliffs for a night run or call it a night, drink and bs and hang out and just chill. Maybe run the rigs around the campground.

Sunday:
repeat or alter based on what we learn Sat.
 
That's enough of a plan for me. As long as I have a spot ad grass for a tent,and a place to get an adult beverage. I'm good.
 
For those of us that are not camping (me), would it be a problem to go to your campsite and hang out? I don't want to be left at the cliffs with nothing to do till y'all get back. Trying to get my quad done, but don't think it's gonna happen.

It's has a tavern/bar there, so that shouldn't be an issue. :)

I think it'll be fine too. I'd call them back but as my recently laid off boss used to say "It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission" ;-)

The campsite is basically the back yard/lot of a tavern...
and they have a pool table!
 
Oh by the way, the cliffs have checked my cooler before, so if your bringing booze you might want to not have it in there. They might not check, but they have in the past.

I don't think we're taking any booze into the park...
I'm assuming we can buy beer and ice someplace between the Cliffs and the campground. "thumbsup"

I really don't plan on drinking till I'm safe at the campground and not driving.
My car attracts cops like a hobo on a ham sandwich!

Sides they didn't bother to check anything when we were there.

Why? Because it sounds funny? ;)
 
I'm bringing my GoPro, so make sure I get some good action guys! I will make a video and put it on YouTube. Just type in swezy207 and my channel should come up. I've made a few already."thumbsup"
 
Anyone that has a go fast car feel free to bring it! I'm taking my revo and Zero has a slash and an RC8T. We're planning to play with those some too if we have the time.

Same here. Here is some footage taken at the cliffs a couple weeks ago.
