Super mega gladiator meetup

[XJFanatic]

Indianapolis and willing to drive within 5-8 hours but will be bringing the JLU as well for a family trip.

Somewhere central US badlands, turkey bay etc. would be great.

Timeframe after June as I have 30 days of army leave to burn after.

I live in NJ, wheel most of the East Coast. I'll also be on the July 2nd trip to VA that was previously mentioned a few pages back. Experienced with wheeling, experienced with recovery, not so much with trail wrenching!

I'd be willing to drive a bit if we can keep the costs down, like park fees etc. Or if anyone between NY-VA has a tow rig and room for 1 I'd pitch in for gas if we went cross country.

At age 65, can we avoid anything with the word "run" in it?
How about brisk walk?

J/K

66 with hip replace at the age of 47. If you see me running. Death is about 2 steps behind me. If you are in front of me or anyone else. I'll shot you in the knee.

I like the idea, but I probably won't be able to add any additional vacations on this year. But I'll do what I can.

Can't remember if I saw it mentioned or not yet, but AOAA and Rausch Creek are two nice big parks in Central PA that have a little something for everyone. People can earn the Trail #11 badge at Rausch Creek as well. We've got a busy summer, but I'll make a weekend work if I can

 

[Rummie]

I live or spend most of my time in Siesta Key, Florida.

I’m willing and able to travel any distance if I can work it into another adventure. We are in the Rockies or further west at least two times a year.

Love Ouray and the San Juans. Easy trails if you don't mind shelf roads. Absolutely beautiful area. Moab would be a great choice as well. Maybe even do a small overlanding trip like Rimrocker from Colorado to Utah. We just did a month-long trip to Death Valley and loved it! One of the most under rated overlanding/trail areas in the states. You need to go in the winter though.

We've done up to an 8 - 10 level trail. Happy to wheel hard or overland. Probably best to make it more of an overlanding trip on this one with a few optional challenges.

Live in Lemoore Ca, just south of Fresno. Willing to travel 800 miles. Two weeks ago did first badge of honor trail.

Genuinely impressed with the reception thus far.


a couple people have already dm’d expressing support to help organize. I’d love to hear from some more

 

[DCPHOENIX]

I’d also provide a patch for whoever showed up. GLADIATOR MEET OF ‘22 or something along those lines

Throw my name in the mix. Even if I can’t attend I’d still be happy to help organize.

Minnesota area, I’m willing go to either coast. But this southern Missouri trail looks great. An it’s middle country.

 

[JeepOfTheseus]

Live: Bay Area, Ca
Travel: 1000-1500 miles
Destination: Utah, SoCal, CO, Pac NW
Experience: Did Mengal pass without issue, bailed on Echo Canyon (waterfall was too much)

I don’t mind riding out and camping. My preference is moderate trails, no shelf roads (if possible), but mostly I want to set up and relax for a couple days.

 

[Fstduc]

I live or spend most of my time in Quad Cities (Iowa side) on the Illinois/Iowa border.
i’m willing and able to travel 1188 miles from there given 90 days notice. That gets me to Moab.
my first choice of destinations is Ozarks & my second choice would be Colorado
Relatively new to wheeling, but I've done Moab 3 times - twice with friends rigs / once on my own.

Would love to find nearby places, but doesn't seem to be a lot around here?
