Easter bunny trail ride

[MADDNES95]

Scott (BYA72) and I where talking about getting a run together around Easter. We thought maybe we could get a good group for the 30th of March. Thats a Saturday. Anyone interested in joining? FYI, time change goes into effect on April 7th. smile.gif
Mike

[bya72]

The way things are going I should have my jeep back from the dealer's by then. as long as it is running, I will be there.

[tinknocker]

hhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm {thinking}

sounds good to me. only decision we'll have to make is one jeep or two, yj or tj.

[Suzjeep]

LOVE a good "field trip"......I think we can safely count me in (barring any sick kids.....God forbid)
Suz

[yjeepin94]

If the new tranny is in I will be up for some wheelin

[Hoosier Daddy]

Count me in, but why wait 'til March? smile.gif

--------------------------------------------
BTW, I assume that you're talking about Attica, right?

eric

[Hoosier Daddy]

PWP has been talking about trying to come up in March or April.
Maybe this will be a good excuse!

I would love to go up there, and wheel with you all. I will let you know, by the first to middle, of March. Sorry I can't let you know before.

It will be split between there, or Tellico. Of course, I have been to Tellico.

---------------------------------------------

Hey Eric, maybe we can hook up, and ride up together ... unless you drive very fast. I take it easy, on my "Redhead". smile.gif

Paul, the only thing you have to worry about with him is that he has a habit of tailgating. :eek: tongue.gif It sure would be great if you could both make it up here. Teresia and I are trying to work in a ride to Tellico in May.

[Hoosier Daddy]

See if you can get you hands on one of those "vehicle hauler" semis.
Then you can load it full of Jeeps and bring all of your friends!

Here comes Peter Cottontail
Jeepin' down the bunny trail! http://www.quadratec.com/ubb/icons/icon40.gif

[eric]

Yeah dude.. we can caravan up there.. and, i can't drive fast.. stock gears.. 33's... doesn't go too fast.. i like the idea of the jeep hauler.. we could get this huge ass 18 wheeler, and then I could drive and try not to run over anything :D sounds like a plan to me... now where could we get a big rig...... HMMMMMMM... :D

Young fella? Better be careful, Mike calls DOT scale workers that. He might take it as an insult. ;) :D

[yjeeper]

I might! I'll have to think about!! :D

[SHARPSHOOTER]

Hmmmmmm....That's sounding really good to me. I had a lot of fun out there with you guys/girls for the Turkey run. I will have to keep that in mind for the future. But for now, I got to try to remember what I am doing tomorrow first! I'll keep in touch.

[tinknocker]

well the plan is to bring both jeeps and bradley and maybe a couple of passengers.
mike can we hang at your house those couple of nights. i think we'll find more stuff (toys) to occupy bradley at your place then hayden's. (no offense hayden)

so this gives me two month's to do my soa on my yj and to get the spacer lift and longer shocks on heidi's jeep take my 31" swampers off my jeep and put them on heidi's jeep and get my 33" swampers on. not alot of time when you think about it that way.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Not much time at all. Stop typing and start wrenching! ;)

Just a suggestion here... maybe we should make it a two day run. You all remember what happened last time! I'd hate to get rained out again. This way we can increase our odds for some good weather. Besides, it's only another $5 for a second day! smile.gif

Hey! Tink, Jeeper, and I all bought 2-day passes last time. We only didn't go on Sunday because of "technical difficulties" with the 2 jeeps that didn't have a history of breaking down. ;)

hahahahahah

wasn't it ironic that the jeep with the history of breaking down was the one that towed you both back. it felt great to be the tower instead of the towee. ;)

[TERESIA]

Hey Tin & Heidi, Mike and I don't mind at all if you want to crash here. Let us know how many total. See you then! :D oh, and what days, so I can make sure to not have all the babies running around.

[TERESIA]

UP


Any other takers???? :D :confused:

[JPCHUCK]

I think I've stopped making plans....every time I do, I wind up working...
Soooo....I doubt I'm going to make it http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/family/biglaugh.gif http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/family/biglaugh.gif http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/family/biglaugh.gif

[tinknocker]

thanks teresia

friday and saturday night would be great. hopefully we dont have to make any runs to wabash auto on sunday. ;)

my brother and his woman might be coming too. dont know yet? if he does i'll have him make sure its ok with you, if he stays too.

as to us it will probably be heidi, me, brad, heidi's little sister(shes 12), and maybe her mom. dont need nothing special just a spot on the floor to roll out some sleeping bags.

my soa maybe put off till this summer. :( got to see if there's enough income tax refund for heidi's tires and it.

[MADDNES95]

Aw common, there's got to be more people that can plan ahead. Just think of all the fun we can have!!
Heck, we've got Eric coming up from Florida, Suz coming from St.Louis area, Tin & Heidi & Bradley from Pa., and JPChuck from Cleveland. Along with some of our other freinds that always come out on rides. These people are traveling a long way just to be with their special freinds from here on the BB. I might even borrow a livestock trailer to haul-in a ride for Eric. Just think, Eric and Jeff in the same state, let alone
staying in the same house. :eek: Thats worth the price of admission in itself!! :D

[ 02-02-2002: Message edited by: MADDNES95 ]

[imported_Smitty]

I'd like to add my name to the list. It would be nice to meet you all and great to get out wheeling again.
Does anybody know if Summers campground is open at that time of the year?

[TERESIA]

Glad to add you name. I am not sure about the camping thing, but there are a few hotels around Attica. Here is a link for the Badlands Park

Can I come stay to see Eric and Tin in the same building? Or will you just set up a CC TV for those of us in other parts of the state? ;) And what's with not naming TJ Chick, Hoosier Daddy, Hayfever, bya72, yjeepin94, and your other jeepin buddies, just generalizin' us into "some of our other friends". We're not special enough? :( :confused: ;)

[tinknocker]

never know eric there may be a few unattached ladies there that just might need some help articulating. :D

[tinknocker]

steve told me tonight that he and kathie will not be attending the run. morgan is to young to be taken out wheeling for roght now.

[Hayfever]

Awwwww. But with her initials, she's a natural born Jeep chick. Shoulld start her early.... Oh well.... Is anyone else getting excited? 6 weeks to go... :D

[Suzjeep]

I can't wait till the Bunny Run......Is anyone (ERIC) doing shirts???? I want some shirts!! smile.gif
I am bummed because both of the girls want to stay home so I'll probably be leaving early Sunday to get back home and do the "Easter thang" with them. I would definitely be OUT for "mother of the year" if I missed it!! :D ;)

[JPCHUCK]

I'm getting excited!!!! Even though I'm not going http://www.duhspot.com/users/smiley/s/contrib/blackeye/stretch.gif http://www.duhspot.com/users/smiley/s/contrib/blackeye/stretch.gif
Should be a good run!
BTW...What did happen to our "Bunny Run" shirt designs???

[Hayfever]

Good question. The design went to Pfunk, then he went on his honeymoon. Anyone know if he's back yet?

[LukeJeep]

Count me in. That's only 35 minutes from my house smile.gif

[eric]

Still workin on a design.. Im tryin to get it to look good, but to no avail :( We will definitely try to have the shirts at the run.. Or before.. Would be nice to at least be able to have em as DRY clothes after the run ;)

eric

[TomsYJ]

Count me in guys! Can't wait to get the Beefeater muddy again.

[MADDNES95]

Four more weeks. Guess I should see about getting them "WIDER" fender flares! :rolleyes:

[JPCHUCK]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by MADDNES95:

Let me know if/when you get them, MADDNESS...I need a set, too, and I'm not sure which ones to get.
Hope it's going to be a quick 4 weeks :D :D

[Hoosier Daddy]

Maybe we need to start working out some of the details.
For instance...
The main day of the run is the 30th, but if it's going to be a two day event, what is the best day for everyone? The 29th? (Good Friday) The 31st? (Easter)

Where is everyone going to stay?
Does anyone want to camp out?

[JPCHUCK]

Details??? Now I gotta think :(

I'm not going ;) , but if I were, the best day for me would be the 30th....Pulling into Lafayette (Ramada Inn??) late Thursday night, early Friday morning, and leaving Sunday morning to get some family time for Easter.
So I hope for a full day of wheeling on Saturday, the 30th. :D :D :D

[Hayfever]

Family? Oh, you mean the collection of homo sapiens who share common genetic material with me. tongue.gif They're 800 miles away, so Saturday & Sunday works better for me than Friday & Saturday (Don't TEMPT me to skip classes on Friday, I just might do it). ;)

Any days are ok with me. I don't have to worry about the boss getting mad because the closest I have to one is the wife and she said have a good time smile.gif I plan to camp and am going to check on Summers campground.
This hinges on my getting the Jeep running!!
Change the "All" to "Most" in my sig!

So when is everyone meeting on Saturday? Or is everyone just going to show up there and bump into each other?

[MADDNES95]

Riding Hours:
Weekdays 9am - 5pm
Weekends 9am - 5pm
How about we all start on C.B. channel (1) and go from there once everybody gets together. ;)

[LukeJeep]

Sounds good to me. I look forward to meeting everyone. Now I have to find a good place to mount this darn CB!!

I might bring the Liberty too if my dad will be in town and wants to drive it.

You're lucky the owner had the phone forwarding to his cell the last time.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Maybe we should warn them ahead of time that the Bastows are coming back to town! :D

Smitty, Val and I will probably be camping at Summers too.
It's a nice place just outside of Attica. (765) 762-6574
Anyone else?

Since everyone wants to go on different days, how about we make it a 3 day run?

[Suzjeep]

So, let's see.....if everyone brings one dozen plastic eggs filled with YUMMIES on Saturday and we send someone out ahead of everyone to hide them, I can KNOCK EVERYONE DOWN TO GET MORE THAN MY FAIR SHARE!! :D :D :D

[Hoosier Daddy]

If I remember right, the park had an Easter egg hunt or something going on last year! smile.gif

[Hayfever]

If people are camping, why pay money (I assume) for a campsite? My yard's open, and I have facilities. ;) . Even have 2 couches open. :D

[Hoosier Daddy]

Thanks, I'll keep those couches in mind if it snows again! smile.gif

If any of you out-of-towners want to run on Friday,
Val & I will come out and be trails guides if you like.

[MADDNES95]

Originally posted by Hoosier Daddy:

And if anybody needs a C.B. for the run, let me know in advance, I have a few extra's and a couple of magnet mount antenna's too. I will loan them out and if you like'em, they will be for sale. ;)

[yjeepin94]

At this time I am unfortantly a NO GO. Stinkin work. Why don't I quit? Oh wait I am doing just that in the begining of Aug.

[Hayfever]

That's not good. What happened?

[Suzjeep]

HEY!!!!!! Right now, I'm using the RONCO 2000 CB!! (a hand held that gets reception about 5 feet away!! haha) I bought myself a new REAL CB for Christmas and the whole antennae thing is bout to drive me up a wall. I had it all hooked up.....NO reception!! The little ball thingy (technical term) I think has a short in it. I'm ready to pull the whole dang thing and stand on the top of the Jeep with Aluminum foil and make my OWN antennae!! haha (anybody who ever had to deal with rabbit ears with aluminum foil on the end on their TV is NOW smiling!!)Ok, Ok, I'm done ranting. I've got to get this 'tupid thing fixed before Friday....can't be a tail gunner with no CB!! Hey!! I know!! I'll just SHOUT!! I've got a BIG MOUTH!! :D :D ;)
This on top of the whole DEATH wobble parts WAREHOUSE buy is about to make me give up Jeeping!! NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT!!! I just need a second or third income.

[yjeepin94]

Work as in I work 7 days a week and since people have been quiting I cannot find a replacement for that weekend

[Hayfever]

Threaten to quit. It seems to be a trend there. ;) :D

[MADDNES95]

Ok, I got a price for the shirts for the Bunny Run. It looks like the design will be the ones that Hoosier Daddy and Eric came up with. They will run $12 each. But, I do need to know how many and what sizes to order. So please let me know as soon as you all can. You can e-mail me at MCPJeep@aol.com and make it subject (Run Shirts).
Also, the faster I can get the info, the faster I can get them ordered so we can have them for the run. Pay for them at the run. So get them orders in so we don't have anybody running around shirtless. :eek: :rolleyes:

[Jason J Crawford]

Any chance I can get a couple? Missy and I wont be able to make it, but we'd like to have a shirt. LMK abn82mp@fidnet.com

[eric]

Sounds good man.. Very good price, and hopefully it'll all look great.. Love what Todd added to the design, definitely kicks ass :D Still think it should have a sheep somewhere on there.. But, guess I'll have to invent a holiday for sheep.. :(

eric

[unclesean]

HEY all ...
We're in for the 30 th. not sure abouta 2 day run yet, I'll have to get with Grandma n mom to get that figured out..... Ya Know....
Just finished the spring over.. now for the sye today..n some odds n ends..
Have a good day. :D
Sean

[Hoosier Daddy]

Welcome to the board Sean! Hope to see you on the 30th!

[Hoosier Daddy]

Jason, Mike is in charge of the shirts, but I think he said something about ordering 30-40 to get that $12 price. The last headcount was about 20 people actually coming to the run, so there may be a few shirts left over! smile.gif

[TmbrRtlr]

OK.. if all goes well I think I may be able to make this run. I'll keep that weekend open as I as well as a couple of buddies have the itch to go wheel the badlands again. The only hitch is my one buddy is waiting on his lift to land at his door so we can install it. So if things go drastically wrong I may be helping to install a lift that weekend. Oh well.. we'll hafta see. Put me as tentative.

TmbrRtlr

[Hoosier Daddy]

Cool! Glad to hear you're going to make it! (Maybe)
See if you can talk Carol into coming with you guys!

If your buddy doesn't get his lift on, he can still come.
The wheelin' isn't THAT extreme!

We plan on running the green (easy), white (semi-easy), and orange (moderate) trails. If anyone is wanting to run the pink (hard) trail, you'll have to find another trail guide because I'm not built for that one! :eek:

Maybe if YJeeper (Tim) makes it, he can lead that one. I'd love to ride along!

See ya soon! smile.gif

- Todd

[yzergod]

Well, I actually pondered it for a little bit but after plugging in the info to MapQuest, I'm affraid it is a no go.
Originally qouted by MapQuest:
Total Distance: 1387.41 miles Total Estimated Time: 27 hours, 35 minutes Only 2 hours to Moab compared to 27 and a half to Attica. A couple tanks of gas compared to 12. Add to that the fact that I'm one po sob and you can see why I can't make it. I would have really like to try and make it to meet and wheel with you guys! And I have kin folk in Muncie (go Ball State). Oh well, thanks for the thought!

- ToddYeah he's been there before. But it's the fact it would be a test run for his new 3" RE lift.

If my other buddy comes along he could lead pink. I've done, green, orange, and parts of white and pink so I know what to expect. Tho the last time I was there there was 1" of snow which made everything 1/2" of mud. Hehe made for a good time on some of those hills considering I was running 30" AT's with 15psi.

TmbrRtlr

[Hoosier Daddy]

Bring him along! The more the merrier!

Keith, I'd rather go to Moab too! smile.gif
If you're ever visiting your kin, let me know.
That's not too far from me!

[tinknocker]

bad news folks the tink mobile wont be in attendance. (no i didnt break nothing smile.gif ) heidi has suffered a pinched nerve in the right wrist so it makes driving to school and work difficult let alone the 9 hour trip out. (her jeeps a 5-speed)

so we are still coming just we will only be bringing the tj. heidi has said she will try to drive it in the badlands but no promises. (i may end up driving it :( )

mike i'll send you an email as to sizes of shirts we'll take 3 i just dont know which sizes. i'll find out from heidi and get that too you by tonight.

i definately want to try the orange what we ran last time was kinda boring compared to wellsville. (jmo)

[MADDNES95]

Hey Jeff, aas long as you'all make it, then it don't matter which Jeep you bring. Hope Her wrist will be ok enough for her to atleast wheel some of the run. Besides, she only needs one or two gears to get the job done. ;) It's gonna be alot of fun!! I can see the gate's now------->

Well, glad you guys are still comin.. Hope heidi's wrist gets better.. I don't know what I'd do if I hurt my wrist ;) :D

It was a bit slow last time, but all the rain didn't helped. I think you'll find the orange trail more challenging! Maybe we can play around in the sand dunes too. We've got two days to explore!

Get well soon Heidi! smile.gif

Get well soon Heidi! smile.gif Be careful, HD, don't tempt the rain gods ;) . Orange is fun, hopefully we can do the whole thing. Haven't been to Moab, but based on the amount of Lore and Legend, I agree, don't build orange up too much in your mind. smile.gif

Does anyone have an "official" total of who all is going to be there?

Where is everybody staying? And which day is going to have the most amount of people?

I'm planning on driving into IN on Friday night, for the Saturday run - what's the majority doing?

Looking forward to it! See you soon!

Looking forward to it! See you soon!I'm keeping track. There are 19 jeeps with 24 people that I know of so far. Some of the Purdue Offroad Club members are talking about coming too, but nothing committed.

Me? I'm staying at my house in West Lafayette. :D I'm going Saturday & Sunday, the most people will be there Saturday.

[TERESIA]

Tinknocker, Heidi and Bradley,& Eric are all staying here with us. We are going Saturday, and most likely on Sunday too. I will have the shirts for all who ordered on Saturday.

[eric]

I'm planning on driving into IN on Friday night, for the Saturday run - what's the majority doing?Todd and I are headed to Attica Friday morning. We are planning on camping at Summer's for 2 nights and heading back home Sunday morning.It's only 6 miles to the campground (instead of 90 miles to home.) Anybody care to join us? They have electric sites, so you can bring a heater or electric blanket if you're worried about getting cold. :D

I guess before we plan on going for a Friday run, we should find out if anyone else wants to go out then. If not, we'll just join everyone on Saturday, but Sunday we will be home with family.

Jeff? Chuck? Anyone? Beuller?

If so we'll be there.
We'll just have to find another place to stay.
(Thanks for the heads-up Smitty!)

Where is everyone else staying? The Attica Inn?

[Hoosier Daddy]

I can't believe that you have school on Good Friday anyway!
Doesn't that conflict with your beliefs?
I think you should go wheelin' in protest! :D

[TmbrRtlr]

Well... I'm out for the Easter Bunny run but WILL be down there the weekend after. If any of you folks would be interested in meeting up that weekend your welcome to. I'd come down the Easter weekend to but it's a expensive trip for me to make 2 weekends in a row.

TmbrRtlr

[Hoosier Daddy]

Just stay all week! :D

Sorry you can't make it man. I was looking forward to meeting you. :(
I don't know about the next weekend... admission, gas, food, etc... all add up quick!

But hey, it's still early in the year. Maybe this summer!

[TmbrRtlr]

Yep exactly.. hehe but you don't have 8+ hours to drive to get there! Hehehe... My total gas bill isn't going to be pretty. Let alone other costs.. oh well. I do wann make it down when you guys have a run one of these times.

Where is everyone else staying? The Attica Inn?Hey Todd, the last time we were at the Badlands we had to stay at a place called Steam Corner. Its about 20 miles or so south of Attica on Hwy41, just a few miles south of I-74. Its not a bad place, but it's no Summer's!! :( Here's the info from the Badland's website: Lodging (http://www.badlandsoffroad.com/lodging.htm)

If Summer's is not open, then we will be looking to stay at steam corner. We need a nice big open area for the 28' gooseneck!!! :D :D

It looks like its going to be 3 of us coming up! My jeep being the smallest of 3!! :eek: :eek: :eek: We will either be up Friday night or early Saturday morning. Either way, we will be there first thing Saturday morning!!!

Glad to hear you're coming Tim. Now we have a guide for the pink trail! :D
So you're bringing the big dogs, eh? I hope you'll at least ride the orange with us before you head off to play on the rocks.

Val & I were thinking that we may just shoot for a Saturday run.
Although if Jeff & Chuck really want to go wheelin' after driving all day to get out here, they probably wouldn't have to twist our arms too hard to talk us into it. ;)

Otherwise we'll just stay home Friday. Maybe we can meet Mike, Teresia and the gang for dinner or something. smile.gif

[TomsYJ]

I will be there! And hopefully, if he has the day off, my brother will come with me. He just bought a 95 YJ last month and needs to break it in. smile.gif

[TERESIA]

HD..if y'all want to meet up for supper on Friday, shoot us an e-mail or give us a call, and I am sure we can plan on something.

So, anyone have a final count of people and Jeeps???

[eric]

Hmmm.. Good idea T.. Maybe we should start a new thread, this one is getting long :D Or how bout this.. Even better.. If you are goin to the trail ride.. EMAIL ME!!!!

TRAGEDYERIC@YAHOO.COM

make the subject BUNNY RUN, and in the body, let me know how many people are gonna be with you, or just you, and how many jeeps etc, your name, screen name on here, or whatever, and by wednesday I'll post what I have so far..

I'll post a new message with this in it as well...

Chuck, if things keep-up at work for me like they have been, I might be feeling a little under the weather too. :rolleyes: But they know that I don't take off work just to go wheel my Jeep. :D

What happened to misdmnr?

[Hayfever]

He's keeping track of the people who are e-mailing him, instead of the list I've been keeping of people who posted. smile.gif

I guess it doesn't really matter. We'll just count on A LOT of people showing up and work it out in the parking lot! :D

It's supposed to be in the mid 50's on saturday, so I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed. I just got back from Chicago at 2:00 this afternoon. I left for Chicago at 7:00am Monday morning. Ran out of hours and had to spend the night at Mom & Dads house just south of Chicago. It was nice to visit with them, but I can't stand this weather for driving in. :(

May be a little bit of a snow run after all. But I doubt it. Suppossed to be back around mid 50's this weekend.

Ahhh, the wonders of working at a smaller P.D. I can no longer take a comp day to go to the Bunny ride. One of our Officers decided this would be a great day to call in "sick".

Amazing, but his sickness coincided nicely with the fact that he already has Sat. & Sun. off.

I'm not mad. I just wish I had thought of it first! I'm gonna miss meeting all of you at Attica. Was really looking forward to it!

[Hoosier Daddy]

Duty calls Ski. Hopefully you can make it to PB2's Run (http://www.quadratec.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=23;t=000196) in June. There should be a lot of BB members at that one too. Of course if you want to go sooner, let me know. We go at LEAST once a month! smile.gif

[imported_Smitty]

Well folks, I have to cancel this weekend. An old friend I haven't had the pleasure of for several years came to visit late last nite. Bronkitus, when it kicks in I can't breath very well. The worst part is the coughing, I get such bad coughing fits that I'm afraid to drive. (I get dizzy and lite-headed). Have fun and be safe
Til next time,

Man, you guys are dropping out like flies! ;)
Hope to see ya this summer.

I only have 1 problem.....bring the TJ or the Liberty??????!!! I don't have any tow hooks on my TJ since I just got it, I ordered them weeks ago from Quadratec but we seem to be having some difficulty on such a complicated $50 order!! I went to Attica a couple weeks ago and just hooked to my bumper and it worked fine. I also have had the Liberty there but I never tried the orange.

What do you guys think? I really don't want to tear up the Libby.
