MEB Snow Run, Feb 16th Rausch Creek Pa

[chris]

2013 Mid-Atlantic Early Broncos' Snow Run on February 16. It will be held again this year at Rausch Creek Off Road Park, Joliett, PA. Please see the Rausch Creek Website for park information on directions, rates, rules, memberships and waivers. This is a one-day trail ride and is always a fun time! How much fun? Well that depends on how much snow is there!

Dress warm and pack a lunch to eat on the trail. We'll start lining up around 8:00 and plan to hit the trails around 9:00. We'll have at least 2 groups of different experience/difficulty levels. If you are planning on coming send me an E-mail so we can get a rough headcount. This is open to all year Broncos 66-96 and guests.

Please join us if you can!

How difficult are the trails out there?

They range from mild to wild. More details here, also check out the forums, there are many trip report pictures - check out some of the Green Trails reports, those are the easy ones. Many trails are readily passable with a stock 4x4, they run monthly Offroad 101 classes for anyone with a 4x4.

Can I help twist your arm into making it out there? I've been reading up on the NV3550 swap and convincing the wife we need to make it happen. Would love to get the chance to check one out in person.

DYING to get back to Rausch but way too cold for me!! Cant wait to see some pictures though!

 

[Fireball05]

Av8rds - you can ride with me. Here is how it sits now, I probably won't have the top back on by then, and if you look closely you can see the heater box still hasn't been reinstalled. I do have an extra pair of gloves I'll loan you though

 

[chris]

Cold! What's wrong with you guys? It's a snow run, it's supposed to be cold. Put your long johns and a hat on and get with it. ;D

 

[ep67bro]

It can be cold or it could be like two years ago and we were standing around in light jackets and sweat shirts. Trails can be easy but if there is snow even the easy trails can have there chalenging sections.
Chris I will try to pencil it in I will just be coming back from a long bussiness trip so it will take some convincing to get my wife to let me go!

The year we went, we had planned to stay on up there over night....a little after dark it was about 18 DegF with a stiff wind. Turned on the weather radio and heard a winter storm warning with 8 to 12 inches of snow. Decided to pack up and get off the mountain and went to raise the electric tongue jack and found it was frozen and would not budge!!! stuck the manual wrench in it and snapped it off. Wound up having to take it apart and then raced the storm down the Shenandoa Valley!!! Good times!!! Hopefully can do it again this year! And yes Chris, got lockers front and rear now!!

 

[chris]

Ok guys, only a couple weeks away. Damn cold right now and there is snow on the ground. Wonder what it will be like by then.

 

[mtfit]

sure thing, having wheeled the whole winter I can tell you SO FAR not to bad there. Last week temps where 20's at the start then 40's, currently they have had snow for 3weeks (5-7" last week) its been a blast!


*** also some new trails to show you guys.

 

[mtfit]

At RC yesterday, damn cold but NO snow. good news ran a few "new trails", which I will debut at the run.

 

[Pearlcoat]

No wheeling for us until June, doctors orders. But RC is a great place to wheel so if you've never been there plan on going to the Snow Run.

Bill - you're darn tough to be out there yesterday, highs around here were in the 20's! Brrr...too cold for me. I'm looking forward to wheeling there in August.

 

[chris]

Weather for next Saturday is party cloudy and a high of 33. Should be good weather but probably no snow.

 

[mtfit]

As of now, NO snow at RC, weather looks good. who's in?

 

[Fireball05]

I'm in and will be looking for a passenger seat! The bronco isn't exactly trail ready.

Looking forward to meeting some folks and checking out a few rigs.
