boonman Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 My vote is definitely for June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wassup350 Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 June or July would be awsome!!!! I usually go down to Pennsy in the summer time when school is out because my family lives in the poconos. That would be great if it was in June or July. Plus thats the best tiem in the year to go riding. Probably in late June would be good since members are split on June and July. Wow i just looked at mapquest and the town aint far from route 11 which is the same road i live on. shouldnt be too hard to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixitrod Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 If you read the whole thread a lot of your questions will be answered. A lot of that is still in the air also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H300F Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 i agree june would be by far the better time to ride. the ground would be alittle more wet for less dust and more traction and the temps shouldnt hit so high. if you go in july your asking to come home looking like a gorilla. you will be blowing out black snots for awhile . especially since it will be 2 days of constant riding . and will also need to follow like an 1/8th mile behind each person cause the dust is just insane. june will still get you covered in black but i dont think anywhere near what july would bring.

. Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 ah....the difference between June and July is kinda minimal.....I say we go for what rustyrider in the other thread recommended. End of June, with a raindate 3 weeks later I think it is. I say we have coalfest actually rain or shine. A little rain never hurt anyone, traction would be great, it'd be a little muddy in spots, but heck thats the name of the game. And no dust so we could all rip together. Does the campsite have trees in a configuration that we could get some tarps strung up. Ones to party under and ones to hang clothes under if it does happen to rain all weekend. I can get some big tarps from ollie's up here for pretty cheap, I'll grab some and bring them up. I'm planning on friday as soon as I get done work. Just bring lots of clothes that you know will last you for the whole weekend, riding and chilling clothes. 2 pairs of boots and riding gloves is usually a good idea too. And heck....if it really plans on raining the whole complete weekend and we dont get a chance to get a lot of good riding in, we can always shoot for another fall coalfest to back this one up. Meat, is their anywhere along the strippens that we could ride our quads to to get gas. I know when I ride at Hatfield-McCoy theres gas at either end of the trailheads and you can just pull in, throw premeasured oil in your tank and fill her up. Or will a tank of gas get us here, there, and back again before having to fuel up. I'll have an IMS so i'm not to worried, but others may be using up some fuel pretty good. I'm sure a gas trip wouldnt be far off either, just thinkin of ideas. This is gonna be a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyRider04 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Does the campsite have trees in a configuration that we could get some tarps strung up. Ones to party under and ones to hang clothes under if it does happen to rain all weekend Yes, there will be trees to hang tarps to...i do recommend the traps, just in case...and for gas, were out in the middle of strippin road....and we would have to travel streets to get gas....as long as u have gas cans, if they need to be refilled i would probably make a gas run with the truck...you'll have plenty of gas to ride and get back, but if someone does run out i'm sure someone can run back to camp or call someone at camp....another good idea is to bring a GPS if u have one just in case u may get split up from the group. We're not sure about food, beer and any other items that we would need..but i'm open for suggestions...if everone would pitch in say $10-$20...meat and i, i'm sure would do some shopping for food and beer ...i'll take a grill out for cooking...and don't worry..we won't run out of SOUPIES!!! We're in for a good time!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meat Posted March 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 allrighty then, looks like June's da month. June 5th and 6th June 12th and 13th June 19th and 20th June 26th and 27th I have to get offline right now, so ponder the available weekends and post your thoughts on a specific weekend. I'll be back here later tonight, sometime around 1am est and i'll pick an exact weekend. The weekend will be chosen tonight. Also like to hear rain date ideas.

RustyRider04 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 I would have to agree with the meatman on the month of JUNE 4-6...as for the dates...it would be nice to have it the first weekend, that way you would have time to change it if u have to...a make up date would be June 26-29... or even in JULY for that fact... It would be virtually impossible for the weekend of JULY 4...that would not be good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
