Who is all still up for the trip? Angel and myself still plan on being there. Meeting at the cordinates posted at 8?

like i said earlier i won't be able to make it till 9am about... so do you want to exchange cell #s through PM so we can reach each other? i'll probably just be parking right in the middle of town on one of the side streets

well i am not going then
like i said earlier i have been there before and have no problem blazing trails and picking lines(thats kinda why i originally started this thread ) kool though, wife and i and inlaws(in a lifted short bed commanchee) will be up there early and explore town and then go find trails, any are welcome to come but we prob wont really be waiting around for people

well we wont be waiting too long is wat i mean, the last time i was up here was with a huge group and it got sooooooooooo annoying to stop at all kinds of places and wait for people and talk. i just love exploring and riding trails, i didnt mean that to sound mean, just sayin i am there to explore the town and wheel. not get out at areas that look like tons of fun and talk for a couple hours about wat we would do(wat we did last time till i got tired of it and started having fun) i am though thinkin of packin a lunch and stoppin at some point

I just have to step in for a minute to comment on "well I'm not going then" and then announcing you won't be waiting for people after being the one who has planned this entire trip.

This is NOT how a club run is conducted. And I apologize to anyone who feels like it is disorganized. Although this ISN'T an official run, I feel responsible for everyone feeling comfortable with the plan. I know you have a week to figure it out, but please DO so no one feels left out, slighted, or like after making plans they get changed for no reason. ALSO, I have a problem with the "blazing trails" terminology. If riding with this club, members are to stay in clearly marked LEGAL areas. Maybe you were using the term differently, but if someone were to come in and read that, it could be taken the wrong way.

I am not into drama or even feel comfortable calling anyone out on a comment, but to say that with a group of people it is "sooooooooooo annoying to stop at all kinds of places and wait for people to talk" is COMPLETELY missing the point of the fellowship part of this club. I understand you have never been on a run with the club yet, but that IS what we end up doing sometimes. Of course everyone IS out to wheel, but the fellowship has always been a part of our outings.

I'm just saying these comments you made are NOT how we conduct our runs. I understand that maybe you just cannot tell "tone" by posts, but you are being pretty specific about your intentions...we feel that once you make a plan like this and have people on board, you cannot just decide you're "not doing it, then"....but then again, you MAY do it....but you just won't wait for people because it's annoying.

You cannot start a run, have people on board, then change it and then RE-invite everyone to come as long as they know there will be 'no stopping' to talk. It's wrong and not how we work.

I think Pattey said it well....this club is about wheeling and fellowship. When we take various trips we expect that members will want to stop and enjoy the sites and each other in addition to riding the trails.

Of course, plans are subject to change and that is expected. However, it is important to make sure that if you plan a run and you no longer can or want to go for whatever reason that you make sure the other members who were planning to join you know whether the run is still on. There are members who will be driving quite a distance to join the Centralia run and then to not know whether someone will be there to meet them is not fair.

I still plan on going. Having never been there before, I can't promise I'll see all the neat sights, but might as well try

you got my PM right?

Hope there's no hard feelings, we weren't trying to be mean. We're not dictators...we just want o be sure people aren't turned off by something bad that happens to them while with the club.

I really love all of you guys and sometimes get emotional over being far away, not being with everyone, making sure everyone's happy, everyone's being fair...etc etc.

We hope you all have a super time!!!

PS...I TOTALLY get this now!!!! You were saying it like, "Wahhh, I'm taking my toys and going home"...but only kidding.

When did I become so old that I let that go right over my head?!?!?! YOu're still in trouble for the "not waiting" comment though!
(that was ME making a funny right there!!! )

Too funny. Guys have fun and be careful.

haha yeah would love to take the xj out west could stop at black bear pass on the way(on my bucket list)

Ok, as I understand the plans:

Going to Centralia will be:

RollCage
alextremetj
jesusjeeper
k_enn

TJ is a maybe, if his truck is back.

Several people are meeting at 8:00. Myself and another will have trouble meeting at 8:00, so on our own we will meet the group in Centralia. Let's try CB channel 12 in Centralia to contact each other. Also, people are exchanging cell numbers by pm, right?

The plan is to play in Centralia until the group as whole is ready to move on. Some people want to do some trials in the area -- I don't what there is in the area but place we wheel should be legal. (I recall from years ago that there was some area around Shomokin that could be wheeled, but it was private land and required permission). I may join the wheeling, depending on the terrain.

People are free to leave whenever (unless needed to get off a trial as a group).

Does this sum it up right?

works for me, i'll be with you on being there around 9am instead of 8am and since i only have a handheld CB my gain will only be a quarter mile in that kind of area probably... K_enn i'll PM you my number, i already exchanged with everyone else, this should be fun!



so has anyone considered strapping a grill and some hamburgers to their ride and making this a cookout?

I am too lazy to haul, set up, and fire up a grill. But if others want to, be my guest. Let me know, and I'll bring the marshmellows.

k_enn

sounds like a plan kenn channel 12 it is, not sure how good my cb is, this will be the first time using it on trails, i tuned it with a meter so should be able to hear u comin. i thought about the grill thing, i would like to. i could maybe talk my mil into bringin her gas grill, we could bring some(maybe not enough for all) burger and buns maybe sum chips, does this sound like a plan? we each can sign up for something? depending on how many people total are actually coming. if not thats kool too!
