Well, not really a GS event but, there are a bunch of Grands from JF going to Attica. Here is the thread.
Badlands Run Attica, IN May 20th-21st, Woody's last lower 48 RUN!
Okay folks here it is.
I have just solidified my plans for leaving the lower 48, however as always with the Air Force, they are subject to change should something big happen prior to my departure from Tucson. Once I'm rollin', I'm not looking back.
Anyway, there's been talk for a few months about this run to the Badlands in Attica Indiana, not South Dakota like I initially thought. It has even been called Woody's run in a few threads as I posted that I would be driving up to the Midwest anyway to visit family so why not go wheelin'.
So here's the deal. I know we have a lot of time to prepare, but that's good. It gives everyone a chance to get ready and plan. I will be departing Tucson around the 15th of May and plan to be in Peoria Illinois around the 18th. My brother and his wife live there, and it's only 150 miles away from Attica. They might be riding with me and my 4 year old, if we can convince his wife of less than a year to go 4-wheelin'.
I figured we could meet in the morning of the 20th and wheel all day. I don't know if it's good enough to pay to go a second day on the 21st or not, so I will leave that to those who have been there.
For those who want more info on location and other stuff about this place you can go to www.badlandsoffroad.com (http://www.badlandsoffroad.com/) and check it out. There's stuff for every size vehicle so stockers are welcome as well as those who are lifted. If you'd like to ride along, I'm sure there will be a few empty seats that would be more than happy to give you a lift. Again we have time to coordinate this and keep the calenders clear so that nothing gets scheduled for this time period.
The cost for this is $15 for a one day pass and $20 for a two day. The badlands also require a small flag at least 2' above the roofline. They sell them for $10. I'm going to see if I can get one to put on the whip, although it'll be about 8' above the roofline.
This should be a good time, Suresh will tell you to not forget sliders, but with help we can get you through without them. I have a CB, and will bring my motorola GMRS radios. (I have 2) If you don't have a CB the GMRS radios can be bought for $35-$85 for a pack of two. If you would like a set for this run, coordinate with me prior to the run and I can buy some (I prefer rechargables) and bring them up for you. They work great and have a range of about 3 miles depending on terrain.
Any questions? If so PM me, or post a reply.
If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm looking for MAXIMUM participation. I want to meet the folks I've been chatting with!
Hope to see you in Attica!
