Like Jerry's yard maybe?
The new building should be up by now, or maybe the state park. Maybe the Mexicans are in town. Hey Donnie what are you doing?

The city is in the process of replacing the sidewalk in front of our house and also 2 neighbors. For the last week or so my truck has been held captive in the garage. Supposedly they'll be done pouring on Monday but I don't know if I'll be able to drive on it by Saturday morning.

What do people think about this park (good/bad)? Never been but curious what the place is like.

If you like mud, by all means go. It don't matter if it has been hot and dry all month, it will still be muddy at the Cliffs. Being the 'rock' magnet that I know you are, you may not have as much fun, the only rocks I recall are in the parking lot and in the stream bed, any of which could fit in your pocket. Todd Watkins is the Cliffs guru, he will surely respond.

No rock garden.The trails are more like Dukes,but with Big mud holes along the trail.Got some gullys.All depends what your looking for or try.I like going there cause its only 1 1/2hrs or so away. By the way,they do have a food shack there.I got a cheeseburger fries and a coke for $5.It was really good.

If you are looking for some more challenging trails be sure to look for 9, 10, 12, and 13. Just expect body damage on 9 and 11. I bent my windshield frame on both side in one day on 11 alone. There are some sections that have some rocks on these trails, just nothing like out west.

I really would like to go, but and I mean BUT, I have motor issues. I have no compression in two cylinders and low in another all on one side. The amazing thing is it still runs. misses really bad, but it does run. I guess you could call it a five cylinder. :lol:

We're planning on coming. Have to replace the rear cylinders on the YJ, but should be ok by Saturday.
Does it cost $24 per jeep total all of us, or $24 plus an additional $6 for 2nd person and $10 for daughter?? Do we need a flag to put on the jeep? Anything else we need that we don't know we need???? :shock:
Todd, let us know where you are meeting and we'll join the jeep parade 8)

Are you talking about the gas station across the street from the truck stop in Morton?
The one that has the family diner in it? BP station?
Around 7:15?
