Just Curious, how many would be interested in a quad ride in southeast IN around Jan. or Feb.? It would be for any HH member and whoever they wanted to bring. We could have a campfire and cookout. We could also have beverages and camping could be provided onsite. If there are enough people interested, say 5 or more we could start planning it. You wouldn't have to have a quad either you could just hang out for the commeradary. Sound fun? Post if you are interested.

I,d be interested but SE indiana is a long way to trailor the machine with gas prices the way they are.

Derslayer, maybe some of you Northerns could car pool or caravan? I'm interested, me plus probably 3 or 4 of my buddies. Fullrut, did you see where there are a bunch of Veterans getting together in Harlan in February? Probably a weekend thing, its on the Ridge Runners site.

Count me in. Haymaker would probably come too.

Looks like a party then. We'll ride and we'll rock. Now lets just figure out a date.

well I'll be home late November, early December. Lets look towards January or February, like you stated earlier, not sure of dates, just any weekend, as long as I give the boss a heads up, I should be good. I'll try and get Ernie to come too. Guess we have some time, no big rush. Looking forward to it

Sounds like a great time Chris! Count me in.

Ernie, you still got the Raptoid? I am quadless these days, but I have a Ranger that will haul several coolers of beverages.

Yeah Darin, I still have it.
I want a side by side though..... a sign of getting old I reckon! LOL

Bo, did you see the new RZR(S) pretty sweet but you give up the 50 inch width that most trails allow??

I'm telling you those RZR's can go just about anywhere you want! I rode in one all weekend at the Badlands while we put on a race there and those things are a blast!!! I might be interested in this trail ride as well!

gpd, would you say you had as much fun in the RZR versus a quad or dirtbike?? I've been heavily thinking about getting a rzr, just don't want to sacrafice fun for comfort..

Here is a good place for that discussion.........

And I am also interested in all the feedback you have on the RZR gpd! Thanks in advance.

Hey coyoteman you sound like my guy kind of guy. You should come up, only about a half hour drive for ya.

I've posted a few of my thoughts on the RZR on the thread BOWBO posted.

Count Momma Bear and I in! Sounds like a lot of fun!

We did a huge ride through Hoosier national forest a couple years back with some of the folks from Midwest trail riders, we had a blast!

The camping, fire, and food sounds great!

Momma Bear and I can bring some tasty treats and drinks for the group!

We have two quads, both Arctic cat, A 400 and a 250, both 4X4’s

Let’s make this happen, let us know what we can do to help plan it, and what we can bring.

Sounds like tons of fun!

Bear.

P.S. I have a hard time getting extra time off work, so I will post my normal weekend dates off below during January and February. If at all possible these dates would be the best for us to make it! Thank you in advance.

January
2nd, 3rd, 4th,
9th, 10th, 11th, 12th
30th 31st and Feb 1st.

February

Cool, we'll get a date set up soon hopefully.

BUMP, sounds good, can't wait

Recon

Anybody else thinkin of bringin the little woman? My wife gets an extra 500 bucks for takin a vacation around this time, since it is of peak. We do it every year. I,m sure she,d go with me, but she wouldnt want to be the ONLY other female there. I know its cold as heck about that time but nuttin carhardts wont take care of. I,ve got a GMC savanna (van), very comfortable for any central indiana car poolers, and plenty of trailor. If this gets coordinated, I,d be in, it,ll take some of the cabin fever out besides ice fishin...

Derslayer1:

My better half with definitely be there! As long as its one of the dates listed above. She would not miss it, so tell your wife to come on and have some fun!

Also if kids will be allowed, My daughter and her friend would join the party they are 13 years old, but are plenty use to adult party’s with drinking, food, and adult conversation so they would not take away from the party.

Don’t get me wrong they do not drink them selves, just been around it a lot.

What do you all think about January 24-25?

should work for me.

I will more then likely camp (especially after city water), which raises my next question for Fullrut. Is there a barn or something to stay in, I don't mind sleeping in my tent (have a heater) I'm just curious. Also, is it bring your own food or do we want to try something like hog butts, or venison quartered on a slow fire? Guess that would depend on how many plan to attend. I will possibly have at least three total in my group maybe more, maybe less. I'll know more once I'm home. Man, I can't wait to get home...lol

For some reason I cannot get page 2 to open on this topic, even tried to open Recons recent posts to view and IT wont open. Anyone else? I,m posting on quick reply (1st page) to see if it shows....

Well, that worked for the page...Kids here too but i AINT bringin em (LOL), Ya'll figger out a date, I,d be in. I go to Minnesota 2 times every year to ice fish with a buddy, usually around jan and feb, but thats easily gotten around. I,d just make it before or after the quad ride

I am working the 24th and 25th of January so we would not be able to make it.

The dates I listed above are the only ones I could make it on. But we understand if those dates won't work. Maybe next year.

Thanks
Bear

how about the 31st and 1st of Feb Fullrut?? I know I will be off leave and resume Drill in February, but have no ideas of the dates yet. Hopefully shifting to the right one weekend will be ok, hate for anyone to miss out!

31st and 1st would work for us!

Hmmmmm..... Might have to get the Cat out and come and play too. Sounds like it could be a good time.

sweet the list is growing. Even with the cold, this event should be a blast

Cold weather is by far the best for these events,

1.No sweating, stinking, hot and sticky!
2.Makes you love the camp fire even more!
3.You can always put on more warm clothes in the winter, but you can only take off so many cloths in the summer.
4.Hot food tastes that much better!
5.Gives you a good excuse to cuddle with your special someone! Hu that is if you’re bringing them, I’m not snuggling with anyone from this forum! Ok maybe a little, and only if you will respect me after words. :rolleyes:

Bear

Bear, I won't tell anyone....lmao....just kidding, ain't happenin...But your right, it all sounds good

January 30-31 will work. We'll tentatively plan on that date.

We'll worry about the food later. I do have a place to camp. We have a barn thats pretty nice inside but no heat. We have plenty of tent area also and we can have a huge bonfire. Hey Bear pm me sometime, we live real close together. Kneeling Over A BOONER, HOPEFULLY is right on your doorstep. Hey wtlhaven- HERE KITTY KITTY KITTY! I think I can find some catnip if your interested.

Good one!!!! Gonna take more than some nip to satisfy that Cat!!!! It don't like following either.... :p ....

Any of us from north central IN? Big van, for car pooling, big trailor for quads.

Its been a month since the last post...SOOOO BUMP BUMP!!

I won't be able to make anything around the last week of Jan or the first week of Feb...........

My wife and I will be on our 20th Wedding Anniversary sea cruise, all around the Western Carribean Islands.

I guess this time, I'll just have to miss the cold muddy rompin & trompin good time. :p

Hey fullrut is this ride still on? There hasn't been much discussion on here lately about it. I reckon everyone is out deer hunting. I heard a rumor that Haymaker went out and bought a new quad just for this ride. Sounds like a blast.

The end of january (30th, 31st weekend) I,ll be in minnesota ice fishing leech lake, dangit.
