Turkey Run 2002

[MADDNES95]

Ok people have been talking about it, and asking me if there will be a "Second" annual Turkey Run.
Teresia and I have discussed it a few times in the last week, and figure that since it was such a great success last year, that why not again this year.
Now would be a good time to start planning for it if we want it to happen.
I know some people will be going out of town for thanksgiving, so to give them a fair chance to make the run, we might be wanting to plan the weekend either before, or after the actual holiday.
This will no doubt be the last run of the year for some folks, so lets try to plan it so we can get as many involed as possible.
So, any sugestions on what date?
T-shirts?
Any input will be more than welcome.
Remember 2001 was the first, so 2002 will be #2.
Funny how that came about. :D
Just for Boston Wrangler tongue.gif
The Turkey Run will take place at the Attica Badlands offroad park. Happy now? :D

count us in.. prolly the whole fam..

(minus the little one, who'll be 3 on 11/10.. she loves "daddy's jeep" but i'm not about to take her down the orange until she's old enough to help wrench.. heh)

[bya72]

I vote for the weeeknd before. The weekend of thanksgiving is going to spent a few miles from Turkey Bay at my sister's new house. The first weekend in Dec works for me as well. I just hope my jeep gets back on the road by then. The way things are going, who knows if that will happen.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Turkey Day at Turkey Bay!
:cool: Cool! :cool:

[bya72]

Todd, I will be jeepless when down there. My dad wont take the 6 hour drive down in my jeep with 2 big labs in the back. So we have to take his car, unless ofcourse it looks like we will have an early snow storm or something.haha My sister wil put on a big guilt trip if we don't make it down there.

[Hoosier Daddy]

That sucks but I'm not sure two grown men, two large dogs, luggage, etc... would even FIT in a TJ. :D And even if it would, I sure wouldn't want to spend 6 hours on the road like that! :eek:

[kennedy]

Hmmm... gobble gobble....
I think that all three weekends that you suggested will work for me :D

No offense man, but you got to wear your own pants sometimes. I know you value your girls' opinion...BUT SHE SHOULD VALUE YOURS TOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Go, if she can't make the plans acordingly....her loss instead of yours.

[mdywglr4x4]

whatever you say Brad : )
hehehehe
screw you!!! : )
i want to go with her and she always wants to go whenever i go, so i dont see why thats a problem... your the one in Cali for a girl if i remember correctly!!!

I should be able to attend if it is the weekend before the gobble gobble.

[Suzjeep]

I just like the gobble, gobble weekend cause I get a long weekend and can get over the "wheelin hangover" before I have to go back to work. smile.gif
But, really, any weekend is fine. Just pick one and let's roll!! WHOOOOOOHOOOOOO

[MADDNES95]

Update on schedule......
After talking to some people on-line/and off..
I have found that most would like it on the weekend of the 30th of November, which is the weekend of Thanksgiving, and also the same weekend that we had it last year.
I'm sure that Teresia and I will be having a little "HaHa" get together here on the night of the 29th (Friday) for people coming in for the night before the run.
http://bbb.quadratec.com/ubb/icons/icon40.gif Now..just to make it perfectly clear....
If people are wanting us to get 2nd annual Turkey-Run T-shirts for the run...we will be open for design ideas, and we "MUST" have the order, and design picked and into the printer no later than "2 weeks" before the run. (shirt color also)
I will talk to the printer about a deffinate last order date to be sure of it, and post it here for all to know.
TIA... Mike & Teresia smile.gif

[Hayfever]

I'm Out, will be home that weekend.

[imported_Smitty]

I'm in. If my daughter comes home that weekend she'll just have to ride shotgun :D :D

[kennedy]

Works for me... smile.gif smile.gif

[Suzjeep]

I'm definitely in. I think.........uh......YELLOW shirts would be cool. :D :D
Maybe I'll get to come to the party this time. Save me some floor space. smile.gif

I second that!

[Hoosier Daddy]

From what Teresia has said in the past, the colored designs on t-shirts cost a LOT more than black and white. (No gray either!)

I love that cartoon though. Maybe someone can Photochop the color out.
Or maybe we could get a picture of a turkey driving a Jeep! :D

[blueyz75]

Other then the entry fee for the park, how much does it run?

[JPCHUCK]

kelJust the park entry fee....all the comraderie is free! I think park is $15/day, or two days for $25. Otherwise, just bring your lunch, and something non-alcoholic to drink, and be prepared to wheel with some of the best people you ever met :D :D :D

And let me be the first to welcome you to the board!!

[ 10-06-2002, 05:53 PM: Message edited by: JPCHUCK ]

[Suzjeep]

Kel, the trails are pretty tough. You may want to start at Oz and practice before you head to Attica.
If you are interested in going to Attica, there are a lot of good peeps to help you on your first time out there. (except that Chuck guy!! He's a CREEP!! :D :D ;) hehehe Hi, Chuckles!!)

[Somemedic]

Hi...
I have been busy this summer and would love to come down there and wheel witcha. Maybe I can get something together by then. You're talkin the 16th-17th? I could probably make it.
Busy really aint the word. My 3rd baby was born this past week on the 2nd. Mr Ethan Robert. Had his first Jp ride on the way home from the hosp in momma's ZJ.

[kennedy]

Suz, are you trying to scare the new guy off? geeze..
Kel, you are more the welcome to come, Badlands has a wide array of trails ranging from easy to "i'm not even going to try this one". Like was mentioned early, $15 for entry fee to the park, then whatever for your food and drink. Event T-shirts will probably be $15 or less, and guess what, there may even be prizes! :D :D Also Welcome to the board, kick back and stay awhile...

[MADDNES95]

Originally posted by blueyz75:

kelWere are you coming from?
We will probably have a pre-run party here, and everybody is always invited.
It's the night before the run.
Don't worry about getting around the trails, we have alot of people who can help new people there.
And we always have alot of recovery equipment along with us.
If you plan to join-in, and want to meet some of the Jeepers at the night before party...just get in-touch with us for directions.

[mdywglr4x4]

so are we looking at "Actual" thanksgiving weekend here? if so i will be able to attend and maybe even hit up the pre-party : )
what a great time...

[Suzjeep]

Kennedy--I don't think I've met you but the peeps who do know me know that I am always willing to help out someone new. I DO know Kel. She lives here. I've been wheeling with her and know her concerns out on the trails in her vehicle. The things we have wheeled on here in Missouri together that scared the bejesus out of her is not EVEN close to the green trail at Attica. I was simply inviting her to come to the Oz events and wheel and practice so she'd be ready to rumble when she gets there AND didn't want her to get in over her head and be miserable the whole weekend because it wasn't what she expected. I guess I should have explained that better. Sorry. :(

[blueyz75]

Yah Suz knows I don't wanna have to fix the WJ on top of pay for the WJ. Skid plates and tow hooks help and so do peeps that spot ya and keep an eye on ya. I however don't to come home with dents like the little kia that could. Where does everyone stay? I'm a teacher too so I'm like Suz, up for rest and relaxation!

kel

[Suzjeep]

Kel, I'll be staying at Hotel ATtica Inn. There are always some Jeepers staying there and there's a pool table to hang out and play some pool. Plus, there will be the party at Mike and T's Friday night........RIGHT T???????? haha (save me some floor space, dang it!! haha)

[kennedy]

Suz... Thank you for clearing that up ;) I can understand now where everyone is comming from. smile.gif
I've been the new guy out on the trail before and it definately can be intimdating. Hopefully I'll meet you on the fun.

Kel, So you wheel a WJ? thats is cool, my dad has a ZJ, one thing that you definately would want before going to badlands would be some sort of rocker protection. Kevin's Jeep Parts (http://www.kevinsjeepparts.com) has alot of good stuff for Grands, and links to other Grand sites. Maybe I'll see ya on the run smile.gif

Welcome to the board Kel. Hope you decide to join us.

Here...I can do some clean up but just to give you all an idea. If you want me to do the completed design - let me know in advance. I'm not offended if anyone else wants to take care of it either. smile.gif

[blueyz75]

I don't sleep well with others. Actually I take that back, there is one person I sleep well with but no one else.
As for battle scars, I am paying WAY to much for that vehicle as it is to get it all dented up. Scratches can be hidden very well. Dents can't be disguised. I like to wheel but not so dang hard I have damage. I'm a grocery getter!

Kel

[Suzjeep]

Jen, I LOVE that BigBirdRoasted pic!! I vote for that!
Eric.......you should BE so lucky to sleep on my "pillows"!! :D :D ;)

[Gavin Anderson]

I will be attending too, I need a bit of information though. I am going to be bringing my little brother of 12 years his first trip, I think that I need a permission form of some type to get him into the park. Right? Also need the number for a local hotel there, any suggestions? BTW I am from St. Louis too but will be visiting Chicago for the holiday and have never been to the Badlands, but I have heard great things about it. I think I will be driving down sat. morning early and just staying in the hotel on Sat. night. Thanks everyone in advance and can't wait to see ya there.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Welcome to the board Gavin!

You can find the rules and lodging info on the Badlands website:
http://www.badlandsoffroad.com
I think most people stay at the Attica Inn.

Here is their policy on underage riders:
NO one under the age of 18 is permitted to check-in with out a parent or legal guardian here on the property. No other adult may check you in!! Must be a parent or legal guardian!! Or you may get wavier and consent form mailed or faxed to you have it filled out by a parent or guardian and have them both NOTARIZED. Both forms must be notarized to be excepted. Bring both forms with you when you check into office. You still must be accompanied by someone who is at least 18yrs of age or older. We stand behind this strongly. ID may be required if age is in question.

See ya there! smile.gif

[82cj]

Got room for one more? I haven't gotten out since I meet some of you on a run back in July.

[Suzjeep]

Hey, Gavin!! The HotelAtticaInn is right there in Attica. It's an old 3 story hotel that is being remodeled. NOT the Sheraton, but a cool place to stay. There will be quite a few peeps there from St. Louis (Midwestjeepthing) and they have a pool table/game room where we can all hang out and play pool at the end of the day....AFTER showers!! haha
You are most welcome to join us.
By the way, you may want to bring written permission for your brother, but I think if you are over 18, you may sign for him. Don't take my word for it, though. Contact Lisa at the Badlands to make sure.
See ya there.
:D

[kennedy]

I like the above **** design, I like that color background too ;)

[blueyz75]

I liked the whole burt and ernie one but gotta wonder about copyrights. The second choice was a definate first runner up. Maybe I can get someone else to go so that I don't have to impose on Suz.

Kel

[Suzjeep]

Kel......I'm sorry. I didn't realize I had forgotten to reply to your post. I've had a few responses from peeps from around here. We can all Jeep-a-van out there together. As far as sharing a room, we'll work something out. I hadn't responded cause I'm not sure if my girls will go with or will bail out on me!! Honestly, I have more fun when I don't have to behave!! haha I'll let you know as it draws closer. K?

[blueyz75]

Hey Suz,
I am asking "someone" to go so will see what the answer is. Hopefully yes but no fingers crossed and no chicken counting yet. Been told no to many times!

[XJDano]

hello all!
I am a friend of Sue and me and my girlfriend plan on comming out and playing with y'all this weekend.

I just had a few quick questions though...
what time will it all start? friday morning/afternoon, Saturday morning? I was just seeing if I had to skip out on T-day dinner with my family or not.

Also I have a '99 XJ lifted 3" and rolling on 31's. Hopefully I'll have some sliders by then.

Cheers.
Oh and I'd prolly be in for two tee's, whatever is cool with me as long it says where it was and somthing about 4-wheeling, instead of just a big turkeybird.

Cheers

[Suzjeep]

Danoooooooooo......Hey you!! The kids from here usually leave Thursday night, wheel Friday, Sat and come home Sunday BUT Friday is purely optional.....heck the whole thing is, actually!! haha Just do whatever works best for you and Strawberry. We meet at the rocks right by the office when the park opens 9 a.m., divide up into groups then GO HAVE FUN!! There are a lot of experienced guides out there, so SOMEBODY will boss you around!! (I hope its me!! you know how I love to boss ya!! haha) :D ;)

[XJDano]

ok, I'll prolly be leaving thursday eveining, and heading out,get ahold of me for a time that you are leaving an I should be able to hook up with you out there....

also I am thinking about swapping in my Dana44 anf a budget boost to get to 4.5" for this weekend,,,

don't forget... husky liners.....

[Gavin Anderson]

So let me get this straight Fri29-Sat30 or Sat30-Sun01, does not really matter to me which days. Just want to know when I should arrive, because I want two days who knows maybe three. Thanks guys

[blueyz75]

Suz,
Don't leave w/o me! I have no clue where it is. Leaving turkey day should not be prob seeing as we eat at Ryans at about 11 and that is only if mom can't get out of it, then we shop! Yah we are nutz but it's fun.

Kel

[TERESIA]

Have you heard??? That foot FREAK, PWP, will be going also. :D

oohhh the abuse we can give him. ;) tongue.gif

[bbupd]

sounds like you all need a bit of canadian influence at this one...

pwp... when you leaving? am contemplating delaying my prev booked time off of the 15-18 and coming down for the turkey run....

is there a post of "who is attending" anywhere?

[Suzjeep]

Gavin, the peeps from St. Lou usually head over Thursday night (T-giving), run and play on Friday, Saturday and maybe Sunday morning (if the BREAKAGE Gods shine on us and everyone is in one piece) then head home. There will be plenty of peeps there going on various levels of trails. smile.gif

T-I'm so excited to get a chance to terrorize the PED PERV!!! hehehe

Kel, I think we pulled out of the "Lou" around 5 T-giving evening.

[blueyz75]

would "lou" = st. louis?

Kel

[Gavin Anderson]

Attica huh? This should be interesting :D
Mike & T, what town are you located in? (So I can do plimary mapping etc) I guess I could leave after my class on friday and head on down to Indiana, should be only 5-6 hours or so.
Unfourtantly I won't be taking my CJ (Still haven't got it running, and 10 mpg...ick!) so I'm wondering anyone willing to take a side kick/amature tow strap attacher? :rolleyes:

Ok... since there was no list here goes, I think that I have everyone, there are a few question marks because a few never gave a definate answer, I am going to start a "Turkey Run Attendance"

Ok these next 2 weeks need to go by quickly.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Man, with 30+ jeeps going, it's going to be a fuster cluck! :eek:

I love meeting everyone in the morning, but after we split up into smaller groups, we usually don't see each other again. :(

Any suggestions?

[imported_Smitty]

Originally posted by Hoosier Daddy:

[eric]

I agree with Smitty 110%

we should get a list or something written up of trail leaders and let people sign up under them and what trail they will be doing in the morning.. and after lunch.. something like that..

Maybe some people want to volunteer to be trail guides?? pick certain trails?? whatever..

We waste a lot of time just sitting out there BS'ing, and then waiting for everyone to get there, then finally trying to split in groups, and this and that.. Not to say this isn't fun, but if we can eliminate something to save time, and get on a trail by 10:30am, I think the trail and trail leader selection could be done before hand..

any other thoughts?? sorry for rambling, just kinda tired, and pumped about the upcoming run :D

eric

[Hoosier Daddy]

Good suggestions! http://www.jeeps4ever.com/Hoosier_Daddy/Smilies/thumbsup.gif

We need to get someone "in charge" to coordinate things.
Especially this year because of the door prizes, etc...

BTW, I am NOT volunteering! :D
(But I'll be a trail guide if need be.)

[TERESIA]

I will volunteer to organize things.
Just e-mail me with what you prefer to run...green..orange etc...and if you want to be a trail "boss" or not. We will also need tailgunners. So let me know. Also, let me know if you are new to this or have some experience.

Also,...I think we will do the door prize things at lunch, say between 12 and 1...with 1 being the start of the drawing...that way everyone can be present.

Also...instead of writing the names on little pieces of paper this year...I am going to get tickets, the duplicate kind, and everyone will get them from me.

Thanks.....I cant wait to see everyone this year.

Teresia, let me know who your trail bosses will be and I will list them under the Turkey Run Attendance (http://bbb.quadratec.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=23;t=000635) list.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Sounds good to me boss.
(I kinda saw that coming!) ;)

I want to run green, white, & orange and I'd rather "just be a participant" this time. I'll be a trail guide if we need another, but I'd rather just play! :D

Also, I think meeting for lunch is a good plan. It worked out pretty well at the Mod Run. How about Pizza Hut afterwards too?

[ 11-17-2002, 10:12 PM: Message edited by: Hoosier Daddy ]

Justin...so far I have only received 2 e-mails...counting yours...but, as soon as I have "the list" I will let you know.

Todd.....Pizza Hut afterwards sounds good to me.....and would you and Val be willing to be tail gunners on seperate groups...or do you prefer to be together?

Anyone else willing to lead??? Looks like we will have at the very least 5 groups.
Scott??? can you lead a group for me???

[bya72]

T- I would love to lead a group on the run. But....... I will be down in KY visiting my sister that weekend. But we haven't heard from her in a month or 2, so who knows what is going on. If for some reason i don't go down there i will be out for the run.

[GreenXJ]

I can lead ..
But....It will be very informal and we might get lost....but a good time will be had by all.. smile.gif

[ 11-18-2002, 09:23 AM: Message edited by: GreenXJ ]

[Alpine]

I feel I know the Orange pretty well at this point.. so I could lead if need be. :D Or.. if you need tail gunners, I'm cool with that too. :D Just pencil me in where I need to be.

[Punisher]

I volunteer to do the following:

1) get stuck
2) crash into things
3) break stuff

That should be sufficient.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Of course we'd prefer to be together, but whatever works out best for the group.

As far as contacting everyone, I used Justin's list and got (almost) everyone's email addresses together. I'll email it to you. Maybe you can have everyone R.S.V.P. smile.gif

[Mystikal Playa9]

I wanna be in the group that might do Pink. I wanna do some rock climbing :D

[STANGJEEPER]

Me and Taz will sorta be off on our own testing out the Rubi in the rock Quarry but some folks that wanna play on the rocks can join us. we can run a hard group if its needed

In the 140+ posts, perhaps I scanned over the one that tells about buying t-shirts and what we have to do for door prizes and such?

I plan on running green/orange/white, maybe blue if it's still up.

As for the Friday night thing, got room left in the yard for me and my sleeping bag?

[Suzjeep]

Hey!! I have some A**Hogger Offroad T-shirts to give away that day. Even if I can't make it, I'll find somebody's back seat for it to go in. smile.gif
Val and T--thanks for the offer....I want to go SO bad. I don't know what to do. I KNOW that I would have a BLAST, but worry about $$$. I'll let ya know tonight. (Does the offer still stand if I snore like a LONGSHOREMAN!?????? hehehe)

There is no official Blue trail, I inquired last weekend, all the "blue" trail was were extra signs added along parts of orange and pink for the ProRock weekend.
