Gilmer, TEXAS run 6/8-9

Hey guys I'm doing an early summer run to Barnwell Mountain Rec area, aka Gilmer on June 8-9, pm me if anyone wants to join.

 

@ETXTacoma @TACORIDER @trekker just a couple quick tags so you are not out there by yourself!

 

Thanks for looking out!

 

Yeah man. Rule #1... Never wheel alone!!!!

 

Yeah I limited myself at NW OHV on my last trip going alone, I didn't have that Gung Ho game face on with no spotter and my winch parts weren't here yet. OK I'm Ready.

 

Man I wish I could go that weekend. I didn't get to wheel as much as I would have liked to at Jambo

 

Barnwell is a mess right now. I love the park but there’s been no trail maintenance in a while & all the rain has made it that much worse. “Never wheel alone” goes double currently. I didn’t wheel much at Jambo because of how bad it is.

 

I couldn't make Jambo due to a wedding but I figured this would be a good makeup for those guys who missed out or didn't do much wheelin due to rainy conditions or long convoys. It looks like scattered thunderstorms off and on for the next 10 days.

 

I may be in Dallas that weekend, but if not, may be down to come to Gilmer for a day.

They are working on trail maintenance right now with some of the worse ones, to fix what was caused by Jambo and all the rain, and so forth.

 

Sweet THANKS for the update

 

Good! I was wondering how often they regrade the trails out there.

 

That’s great to hear. When I working registration one of the ladies said sxs’s Have been doing a lot of damage also. They’ve been coming there more because a lot of the parks they would frequent are closing.

 

FYI, June 8/9 is a big event out at Bridgeport

 

Looks like they got a few more inches of rain out there yesterday!

 

Dammit, I'll be out of town that week. I still need wiring and a tail light, fix my broken ARB locker, mirror and door from my Jambo incident on whatever

 

I'd like to go back. I wanted to wheel more at Jambo.

Sadly I won't make it that weekend. Cars and coffee in Austin (9th) and San Antonio (8th)

 

When I went last

Ouch! I hope you get everything fixed. Which trail did that happen on? How long did the recovery take?

 

When I went last (Jambo '19)
That was at least a 30% grade

 

Shit happens, the cage took the brunt of it. I winched out in a few minutes and drove the rest. It's on the trail Whatever. Fun trail but we knew what we were getting into. If it's another weekend I'm down to go. I'll go with the truck how it sits. I'd just like a mirror

 

I'm guessing angry jeep
