July 1st-3rd Badlands Weekend

[Smirty]

We are planning a weekend, July 1st-3rd, at the Badlands and camping at Summer's Campground. This event is open to everyone and campsite, park fees, and food is at your own expense. If you would like to join us, post up and let us know you're coming. Most of us are planning to arrive sometime on Friday afternoon/evening to set up our tents and we plan to wheel all day on Saturday at the Badlands in Attica, IN. After wheeling we will head back to the campground, grill out, BS around the campfire, and maybe get some sleep. The next day we can go back out wheeling, head home, or do whatever you want to do.

Also, for those that are new to the site, come on out...we would like to meet you. We hit a variety of different trails from easy, moderate, and hard. We are are all respectful of everyone's capabilities and rigs (Daily drivers, hardcore, etc) so don't be worried about the trails and difficulty.

Let us know who will be coming so we can reserve a few camp sites together.

Aha! The 1st Annual Official TIJA Smirty Invitational.

I'd like to come, but I made prior arrangements. I'll see if anything changes.

Bummer - I'm out.
My 3B is down with the overdrive broken.
My Wagon doesn't have seats yet.
Maybe I'll get them both "finished" this summer.:nopity:

John - Your JK is quite capable even in its stock form...we can take care of you...the badlands has all kinds of bypasses.

[SWMBO]

very true - i'll be taking a few while the boys with their big toys play.

Had a great time everyone - man it was hot! I am glad to get back home to the air conditioning and the slightly milder weather. That downpour Saturday night was quite the event too. Glad it didn't hit us hard at the campground like downtown Attica.

x2 - I completely forgot to take pictures - I am glad you remembered to grab the camera. I missed Lukas' video camera shots...maybe hitting a tree or something.

Looks like you guys had fun. I'll try to make it to the Blast! not too sure about the trees though. The hit left a nasty mark on my bumper's paint. :)
