Come one , Come all.

TNT Is putting together a Barnwell run on the 7th of Feb. We are also planning a mid January Mod party to install those mods Santa brought before the run.

Sounds like fun. Still a long way off, but I will try my hardest.

i'll check with wife, but should be able to make it. welcome to marriage. she want's to experience barnwell since she helped clean the vehicle after my last trip. may move up my new tire purchase from march to january for the trip.

I am hoping we get a couple of 'couples' out there....we usually do.

Darn I can't make it that weekend. Thats the weekend of our xmas party for work. (yes I understand that it will be a month late but at least I get one)

We are also thinking about doing a run on the 3rd or 10th

I can't do two in one month, at least not this next month, withmy current situation. But I will pick one to go on.

I might actually be able to go this time.....

I'll step up again. The Jeep may one day make it out there!

i am an idiot...forgot to check Barnwell's calander, they are closed the 31st. We need to move this to the 24th of January

The SWXC quarterly meeting is scheduled for the 24th. Can you push the run to Feb 7?

changed...forgot ..and I plan on making the quarterly...me stupid

ok...so, 2/7????

Yesh

I'll be there....

anyone here still going?

Yes, there are quite a few of us going. We generally meet at a Wal-Mart in Garland right of 635 around 0730 the day of the trip. I am sure someone will post the address as the day approaches. (I would, but I forgot what it is, I just know how to get there. Dan you have the Wal-Mart's addy?)

Its the one on

i will be there. coming from austin would like to get a caravan going with anyone that is going on friday night.

My otherhalf and dogs are prob coming too

Bah! I can't go... I haven't gotten to have my daughter over the weekend in about a month or so, and this is my chance... sorry guys... I guess atleast now I have a good excuse...

Always an excuse

I'm going Friday night, camping all weekend.

Do you want to meet up and drive in together? I don't know where the site is.

Brian, I am going Friday night too if you want to tag along. Really I am going this time

barnwell or house.....???? march closing, but need to save up more than expected for down payment. will talk to wife, but may or june barnwell may be soonest. (there will be an swxc/tnt house warming party if mortgaged approved.. details will be posted).

Hmmm...I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess the Barnwell deal isn't 4x2 friendly?

Might be able to make that one if I don't stuck hocking girlscout cookies in front of blockbuster with my stepdaughter.

when will you be leaving?
do you plan on going to dallas and then over to barnwell, or do you drive north east directly to barnwell using back roads?

Brian, I've still got your radio... you'll probably want it back before you leave... just give me a shout whenever...

The majority of it is not, but you could always ride shotgun with someone... Plus the group is going to camp, so there is that to...

2wd.. get a locker and u can do 1/2 or what the 4wheelers can do..the other 1/2..ride shotgun. :p

Count me in! I'll be heading up on Friday night. Snakeyez, give me a pm and I'll coordinate with you on caravan. Kraig, you're going too right?

Got my daughter that weekend... I would just send her to her grandparents, but I haven't spent the weekend with her in just over a month... we need some "bonding" time... basically, she sits in front of the PS2 while I'm on the computer... :rolleyes: Maybe one of these days a trip will be scheduled on a weekend other than the 1st and 3rd weekends...

We have gone both ways and it seems I35 to I20 to 155 is the best... no stop and go in the little towns. However,I am up for either way. I am taking Friday afternoon off so I can leave or meet whenever you guys from Austin or SA can work it.

Just email or call 254-715-8328 cell 254-859-3333 home

Ok... dammit... I really wanna go... how much do I need to plan on spending if I do go?

Spending? Gas money, entrance fee, food. Do the math and it should easily be under $80, depending on how you eat.....

You'd be suprised at how far a 4x2 can go though. I was suprised. Last time we went there were I guess 3 4x2's and we didn't have to tow them up everything. I can only think of maybe 3 or 4 times, wasn't too bad, but of course it had been very dry, so most of the trails weren't muddy. I remember only have to pull ruttdigger twice. hehe :p

Kraig, give me a call maybe we can work something out about barnwell

Roger, and anyone from San Antonio and Austin.

We (amanda and me) have friday open and would like to caravan. We would like to set camp up before dark, but if no one else can leave early enough to do so that will be ok. We just don't know where the camp or the park is. That and it's always much cooler to go in a group.

ANYONE FROM AUSTIN OR SOUTH OF AUSTIN LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU CAN MAKE IT AND WE'LL ALL DRIVE TO WACO AND MEET ROGER AT THE TRUCK STOP, and then move onward to dallas and maybe meet more folks or go to barnwell.

ROGER I will meet you, what time do you think you will be ready to leave?

call me or email

thanks
Brian

I will be ready anytime after lunch. So just let me know what time the last person fron your way can come up and we will meet.

I am sleeping in my truck so no real worry about setting up after dark

Just let me know. Brian I will call you Friday to confirm times and such...

Snake, I am gonna give you a call Friday after work and see where you are on the journey. Maybe we can meet up and head out together from Dallas.

Cool... pm me your Number and I can call you if you want.

still need to hear from a few people but I'm thinking about leaving Austin around 1:30 or so.
That would put me to Roger around 3 and to teach around 4:30 5:00.
how long is it to barnwell from dallas? 2 hours? how late can we enter the camp?

Let me know what you guys think about the timelines, can be there anytime on friday...

Looks like it going to muddy and cold (overnight lows in the upper 20 Friday, and lower 20's Saturday), but at least there's no rain in the forecast.

Keep warm

Clyde says Barnwell dries off pretty quickly.

Ok... this is the day... you guys suck! Hopefully next time... hope ya'll have a good time, and Brian, get that damn thing scratched up finally... also, I've got your radio... if you want it before you leave just give me a call...

Eh - it's 2.5 hrs or so from here. Unless something has changed with the acquisition of the park at the entrance, they open up the gate Friday evening and leave it open all weekend - so no worries getting there late.
