If it gets cold enough Tuesday, we'll be doing some major snow wheeling up on Sunflower Mine loop.. we will hit over 6,000ft elevation on that one.

This is going to be one KICK ASS run!!! Think Sun, Snow, Rain, Mud, flooded washes, deepwater crossings, quicksand, and some gorgeous sunsets!

You better stop posting these or I'm not gonna show. Brrr. I hate cold... O.k. ok I would not miss this for anythhing, but Cold and WET it definatly not a plus in my book. .

Duerk.. it only makes it more fun and memorable. Its like the Ike's Backbone trip.. that was one of the best camping trips i've ever done even though I hated all the mud at the time. Sleeping in a tent in a torrential downpour is FUN!

Well I guess it will be fun wheeling but the camping will suck!

Noway dude.. rain just makes it more fun. Thats where tent city comes into play. we'll have a tarp over our heads, lanterns, great tunes, and good friends around.. Thats what its really all about.

Tent city, my friend. Tent City. High and dry underneath. (I sleep in my truck with an air mattress )

Trust me I'll be there. No worry there.

I have camped in the rain a few too many times though and it is not my favorite. Though I am sure we will have a blast, I'll ienjoy it more if I am dry.

If it is going to be this wet, maybe everyone should pick up some fire wood?

Might not be a bad idea.. So we can have a bonfire in the rain. I'll try to pick up a bundle of wood.


BEEFYJames Fabrication - Custom Fabricated for Use and Abuse

Maybe we should make a thread telling everyone to grab a bundle. I am sure they will all enjoy it.

I'm with ya on that, EVERYONE should be bringing wood.

Air mattress in the truck, tent city, we'll be fine.

C'mmmmmmmmon Monday

I was camping up in TN a few years ago. During the night it started to rain...more like dump. It was a like a dam burst right above us.

So I'm asleep and I wake up because I feel like I'm moving...cause I was moving. I was being carried down through the meadow where the campsite was. I've nailed my tent down real good since then...

Mr. Will

Stick a fork in me Jerry, I'm done.

LOL!!!! hahahahaha

Wake up Ma, the house is a floatin' away!


BEEFYJames Fabrication - Custom Fabricated for Use and Abuse

yeah but if you nail it down too good you end up like i did...sleeping in 6 inches of water because you're too drunk to wake up pretty lucky i decided to use my pack as a pillow that night

so you az guys gonna think it's the end of the world if it's starts snowing? sometimes i feel like i'm the only one on this board that deals with snow

it's a nice driveway ornament...

Nah, see, thats why you have an air mattress. No matter how much water gets in the tent, you still float on top of the water. Pretty comfortably too, I might add.


BEEFYJames Fabrication - Custom Fabricated for Use and Abuse

ah ok, but air matresses camping? what is with that? hehe

well, when you get old and have back problems and stuff.. air mattreses rule. Just makes things much nicer.
