[Scapegoat]

**** it... I'm in... now... to find out how far it'll be to drive...

[Roadkilled75]

So, so, so tempting. If there's no other monsoons this week & all spots aren't taken by then, I shall have to bring the beater integra to, well, beat on. Didn't get enough on-road use out of the snow tires this season :wink:

Edit: two hours from me...bah. I'll catch the next one.

[blkZ06]

Okay.

[HQuakers]

That's 5 minutes from my folks, and although RWD will be fun, I'd prefer not to ruin the suspension any more than it is. Hmmmm.

[06njsti]

yea i might come out if i can drive my jeep. my sti is slammed and would bottom out everywhere in the pines.

[Kerplunk105]

All makes are welcome. :)

[cburwell]

I'll probably be down. It's probably going to rain Saturday so my plans to work on the Sentra this weekend are shot.

Do you have an address for the meeting spot?

[scutzi128]

What is this a dirt road?

[Raven18940]

I was thinking of bringing my SAAB, but you reminded me that my little brother has a Jeep and he's at school right now.

I'm in unless something comes up. Kerplunk, let's meet up in the morning and caravan.

[cburwell]

I found these GPS coordinates to Atsion:

Directions to Atsion
39°44.486(N) 74°43.552(W)

If you could still provide and address to the exact meeting spot, that would be cool.

[Scapegoat]

What is this a dirt road?

yes :)

[DropTopChevy]

Just for those thinking on bringing 2wd vehicles. You might wanna reconsider. Today Liz and I went back to check out some other paths and we found a pretty long one about an hour each way since it does end at a bridge out with a round about to turn around. Well back to the point, there were some bodies of water that were even hard for the subaru to forge across. I highly recommend ziptieing (sp) any item that may comes loose like fog light covers, also most of the time we were on this path the Subaru was acting like a snow plow for the sand. We would like to find paths to suit everyone, so we may just take another trip back to find a better path more friendly to 2wd vehicles.

[Kerplunk105]

As Nick said above, I do not recommend anything but AWD vechiles going on this run.

Updated first post.

[DropTopChevy]

Don't forget the bodies of water :mrgreen::banana:

[scutzi128]

Sounds like it will **** up my car since its lowerd.

[Scapegoat]

if you guys find a path for my srt, let me know. otherwise I'll let the awd drivers play :)

[Kerplunk105]

Water?

[cburwell]

Freaking sweet! I'm in! I'm bringing a lady friend to ride along with me. It should be fun since we are supposed to get some rain Friday and Saturday.

[HQuakers]

The sand down in the Pines is like quicksand...very fine and a biotch to drive through. If you want, I can ask some off-roaders of any specific trails they know are more hard-pack.

[Kerplunk105]

Yup, parts are very loose and other parts are more hard packed. I think we have a good path picked out.

[HibachiZ28]

That's the same ranger station us Jeep people meet at.. then we head down Quaker Bridge Road and wheel :)

That Fire Tower is on Apple Bottom Hill. It's accessible with your Subi's.. We've seen FWD Civics back there before!! :-X

[DropTopChevy]

Maybe we will stick to a path like that to be more welcoming to others. I got a little worried in the Subaru when we were going across some of the bodies of water :eek:

[4drstunner]

Liz what time you guys gonna be down here? Which way are you heading there? Maybe Ill meet up in the middle, cause chances are your gonna ride right by my place!

[Kerplunk105]

Eh, leaving Newtown like 9 or 9:30 to meet up by 11am. We take 206 all the way.

[Subie_sleeper]

i'm going to be in the philly area overnight on saturday. i'll pop the location in the gps and swing by if i get a chance. as long as its still going on.

[DropTopChevy]

Liz and I went today and we found some paths that are more FWD friendly. Some bumpy areas, but not too rough :thumbup:

[Kerplunk105]

bump for tomorrow

[cburwell]

I'm going to head out around 9:30 so we should be there a bit before 11.

See everyone then!

[Kerplunk105]

MEET IS CANCELED.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am not going to be able to make it tomorrow. I am going to be rescheduling it for sometime in the future.

Oh that sucks! :bigeek:

[Raven18940]

Damn it, now I actually have to accomplish things today, way to ruin my Sunday. :-p

[Kerplunk105]

Anyone up for meeting this Satuday, the 22nd?

[92dxman]

I don't have an awd vehicle but I wouldn't mind riding along with someone since i've never been through the Pine Barrens before.
