BARNWELL - Oct 30th... be there or be ScArED!!

Was that cheesy, or what?

We've been talking this up for a couple of weeks on TNT - but nobody has mentioned it here that I've seen.

We've got a pretty good list of "I'll be there's" for this trip already - so join on in... bring that X out for some offroading fun whether it's your first time or 100th time.



EDIT - hey - post if you are going so we can make plans.

Let me be the first to say....I don't know. I am gonna try and make it, but no promises.

I'll be there but I'm scared

I want / need to get my off road fix.

Week after the truck show ... I hope Susan does not get mad

That's the wifes bday weekend so I'm out. I even have my truck fixed now too.

Doesn't she like nature? Sweaty guys? Trucks? no excuses Dan!

let be the first to say

Oh yeah,
and I prob won't be there as well, its like 1478 miles there and another 1500 maybe after X-mas.
so take some good ones for the ole Snake!

My bad, here you go:




I'm just pulling random stuff out of my directory now

I'm too scared not to go..........

Hey Abiel (in Mexico) and I are working on details for him joining us on the 30th. He will be bringing his GF so how may other women are planning on being there? Nothing against you guys but it would be nice for her to have female company

Please post so we can make detailed plans...

Thanks!

That's cool - have been wanting to meet Abiel.

Becky will be there with her Liberty (she just found out that ARB is now making a bull bar for the Liberty... so she's scraping together the pennies)

oh hells ya! I'll be there! That is if everybody isn't an ass on Oct. 23 in Dallas :p

Oh ya, how many miles is this place from College Station? I can't seem to find the maping directions online, cause I don't know barnwells zip code

Look up Gilmer TX

I think gary is going and he should bring Tracy...um Regan might come out and ride with someone.. or with Justin, not sure.. Hmmmm someone needs to bring some cute single chicks out there.... after a couple of beers that would be like throwing them to the wolf with me there. I think I remember Glen saying he was bringing Becky as well.....um....and Jason MIGHT bring Misty if we can get him to come out.

Me and the G/F are going to come up to this outting. Will be our first one since we got the X a month or so ago

We've never been I know its in or near gilmer? If anyone could email me some directions I'd appreciate it greatly.

Thanks all

Hi guys...

I´m making some arrangements here to attend this Barnwell trip...

Roger, I sent you and email , we have to work in some details before I leave Monterrey...

Roger mentioned that you were coming - that'll be awesome!

Hi...

Roger just replied. Perla and I will leave Monterrey tomorrow morning heading Waco, Tx.

BTW, we are planning our annual donation trip, 11-12 december. After that, we are going to have some fun at Real de Catorce, to come back december 14... We´ll be glad if you guys join us in this trip...we can discuss this at Barnwell

If you guys can make it... you will not be dissapointed!

We can discuss this weekend but the trip is the BEST!!!! and a great selfless trip and a good learning experience.

If you can get the time you really need to try and make it... even if shotgun

I will have to agree. This donation trip to Mexico is awesome. I rode shotgun with Sen~or Redmond last spring, and it was definatley worth all the effort.

Roger, contact me about the Mexico trip. I may want to ride along if there's space.

Mexico, 9000 ft in the mountains, in the winter... Your truck will freeze from the inside out. Literally.

Take a coat.

This being my first outing with XOC I have a few newbie type questions.

What times will everyone be gettin there? I figured soon as the place opens. I had planned to leave around noon to drive up and get there by 6pm or later.

Is there any specific place people meet up at?

Where does everyone usually sleep? I'm packin all my campin stuff thinking we'll be sleepin in the dirt

Thanks!

We have a club camp site. Fit for tents and/or sleeping in your truck. We also have a fire pit.

Roger if you can email me about the Trip to Mexico. What kind of costs am I looking at while in Mexico for hotels, etc.... How much water/fuel do I need.. just about everything and an estimated mileage down there if you have it. I do plan on driving, but I am loosing my job soon so I have to see if I can afford it.

One thing is for sure. You will not be staying in hotels. The villages you will be going to are VERY primative, some had no electricity, much less a hotel. You will be bunking in your truck or a tent.

Gas was several tanks down, plus a spare jerry can in case you run out in the mountains. Food wise, I survived on a few granola bars, a few small bags of chips, and gatorade for the entire weekend. (Unless you want to use the 'outhouses' they have in the villages, I would suggest low-yield foods).

I would seriously suggest at least $200 in mixed US/pesos (the tollway fee was killer, plus the fee to get a 'visa' for your truck to Mehico), plus a good, WARM sleeping bag, and a good high altitude parka (wind proof and warm). Don't forget your passport, a cooler of food (there are no stores in them thar mountains), WATER and anything you need to live with no resupply for 2-3 days.

Coordinate with whoever elese goes so you do not double up on things (like stoves to cook on and what not). Most of all, after you remember to load all of your things, keep room for household goods (clothes, blankets, pots, pans, toys, but not D.O. or toothpaste - seriously) as that is your primary reason for going in the first place.

Oh, if you have room, and it is not expensive, a treasured item is aluminum siding (or whatever it is you build redneck sheds out of). The men will 'kill' (<-- use that term loosly) for it. It is far superior to anything they use to build house walls.
