The Gulches, October 6th

I am planning a trip down to The Gulches on October 6th. Its near Laurens, SC. Everyone is welcome. It would be great to get some new guys coming.

The Gulches

So far these people are going.

1. Brian (with wife and son)
2. Fjdarrell (and Lindsay)
3. MadToy (maybe cheering section)

I will be hopefully in on this round looks like fun down there maybe cooler by then.

I'm in....

id like to go...we'll see...

We will see....if I have any money by then I am down

I'm still working on URE tomorrow, I'll figure this one out the last week of September!

Paul i hope you make it to URE tomorrow...love to dent that bumper..ooops i mean see it...

I'll have to cut some plastic and do the cab mounts before the Gulches trip. For some reason, that place causes much more tire/body contact than URE.

I should be able to make this trip

I saw this on their website today.

"PS the river is always a great place to cool off and many are enjoying the tube trail from one end of the park to the other. Bring a float or rent one of ours!!"

I thought this was hilarious. Those who went with us last time will understand. They pushed this creek thing like it was water in the Bahamas. Now they are saying you can tube the length of the park. All 100 yards of it.

LOL tubeable if you wade past the benthic matter and lake debris

Bump for awareness! Had a great time at Uwharrie, and it would be good to see a larger group head to the Gulches.

Gulches would probably be better with a big group also. The trails are short, and mostly one direction - and usually lead to a big enough opening to get everyone parked.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Also trails people didn't want to go down, could be easily walked so they could still watch others.

Mom says I can't go. Which may be a good thing with my recent bad string of luck on parts. Don't wanna be stuck 5 hours away from home.

Borrow your dad's truck!

I was reading an article in the Toyota owners offroad magazine. They were doing a light interview with someone with BFG tires focusing on KM2s. They mentioned their testing grounds were in SC and specifically mentioned the Gulches offroad park. just thought it was interesting.

I took his truck once to pull Casey out of my backyard. Never was I more afraid to break something in my life.

Ha! I hear ya. When I was your age, I took my dad's K-5 for a little ride off road. The most fearful 15 minutes of my life standing out there in the dirt waiting for him to come get me after I snapped the driveshaft

Yeah first time I got my dads 861/2 nissan extra cab hardbody bogged out I was scared to death when I had to call him to pull me with his 1 ton chevy diesel. He was pissed but after I cleaned and changed the diff fluids we laughed about it, until it kept happening.

Alright so its only 3 weeks out and will likely be my next trip off road. I thought I would try to get a head count from the NC group. I think there will be 4-6 from the blueroom going too. Should be a good time.

So at this time who all is planning on going?

1. Brian (with wife and son)

Hopefully me.... And lindsay of course, but you never know, on another note I may have everything installed on ny rig by then.

So at this time who all is planning on going?

1. Brian (with wife and son)
2. Fjdarrell ( and Lindsay)

I'll be there. Not sure how many of the crew though.
