Winter Wheeling in Texas - 2016 Texas Barnwell Mountain Run(Jan 15th,16th,17th)

Anyone confirmed as going interested in starting a new thread for this? I would, but I'm still a very big maybe for this one. :grayno:
 
I'm a big maybe now due to class schedule being skewed. I need to make sure. If our Colorado trip is still on during thanks giving I'll be a yes if not, and I have to move Colorado up to December it's going by ear to make sure I have the money and time to go.
 
Hmm. I have a idea if any of you guys are good for it! My colorado trip is now being pushed back to summer time or spring break so i should be good for this. but what do you guys think of holding this during winter break. For those with kids itll give something for you guys to get the kids out with for sure and keep them busy during the break, ( i know my parents stressed about keeping me busy during highschool/middle school/ and elementary during winter break )and for us College kids itll be during off time for school so easier for us to get things together without worrying about class.! and we can make this a christmas themed run as well. :) Get the rigs christmas themed up. and maybe we can do some other things depending on how many would be good with this. Just some food for thought. me and my girlfriend are trying to plan to do this place in december either way as well with big bend national park during november possibly! so if not its okay we will probably go again in january

With the Abundance of New Texas Wayalifers that have joined, I think it's only appropriate that we all get together, get our Jeeps off road, spend some time together and make some new friendship. Nothing like starting 2016 off with a Winter Run through Barnwell Mountain OHV area! I know this run is quiet a ways off, but I'd like to give people time to plan accordingly and be able to make this run. Whether you are from North Texas, South Texas, East Texas, West Texas, or even Oklahoma or Arkansas, Please don't hesitate to sign up.

There are numerous OHV trails in this area that provide a great time for the most experienced wheeler to the person who has there jeep off road for the first time! Over 1,850 acres to explore.

The dates of this run will be: Friday, January 15th, 16th, 17th
The main trail day will be Saturday, The 16th
If it comes to the issue that these dates do not work for anyone, we will change them as needed.

Lodging info
Barnwell Mountain ORV area is Located in Gilmer, TX(known for antiques). Gilmer is located about 1.45hr East of dallas, and about 3.30hr North of Houston(I promise, it'll be worth the trip). It offers several Hotels in the area being:

Executive Inn
920 U.S. Hwy 271 South
Gilmer, TX 75644
903-843-6099


Gilmer Inn
1018 U.S. Hwy 271 South
Gilmer, TX 75644
903-843-3033

There is also Cabin, RV, and tent camping available at BMRA. Spot reservations and Cabin rentals can be found at: bmra.org

Requirments
For this run, I will be seperating us into three groups(Easy, Medium, Hard) So that We can have the most possible people comfortable on there own set of trails. I ask that you please designate yourself to the group that you will feel most comfortable with. Only requirments are:

(1) Front and rear Tow Points (for your safety)

(2) Reccomended(NOT required) Working CB radio. This makes the experience so much more enjoyable and allows you to have even more fun when out on the trail.

REQUIRED:YOU MUST HAVE A VALID TEXAS OHV STICKER
You must have a valid Texas OHV sticker to be able to enter the park. These Stickers can be purchased in multiple areas and BMRA has a small supply of them at there front office for $17. You WILL NOT be able to enter the park and run these trails without it.

Itinerary

We will have a Friday night Meet and Greet between 5pm and 7pm. This will be where everyone can come together, meet with each other, eat and fellowship and have a great time. This will take place at: Swanner's Hamburgers, 620 W Tyler St, Gilmer, TX 75644-2143 I'll leave it up to everyone on there own if they'd like to run trails on Friday, but our official event starts that evening at the meet and greet dinner. There is some disscusion of a possible night run, but that is still in the works.

Saturday(main trail day)
On Saturday, we will meet up at around 7am in (location undetermined) and have a short drivers meeting at APPROXIMATELY 7:30AM. We will then split into our respective groups and head towards the park. I ask that everyone have your Jeeps gassed up and ready to run before the drivers meeting. We will be having lunch on the trail that day so plan accordingly, Also, this is a winter run, so come prepared as such. Its going to be cold, but there's no better way to remedy that then by getting offroad and having some fun

After spending the day on the trails, we will be meeting back up at the original location and getting ready to have a victory dinner at an undecided location yet.

Sunday will be a Tenative trail day for those of you who would like to stick around and have some more fun.

I ask that everyone take care of the environment, stay on the trails, and pick up afterwards. We have a large group representing Wayalife, and I ask that everyone do so respectfully!

I will be starting a list of three groups(EASY, MEDIUM, HARD) And i will also be looking for two other Group leaders. If you are interested in being a group leader, please PM me. Please, select the group that you feel most comfortable with and that your rig is most capable of, and just remember no matter what group that you are in, we will be having FUN! There is NO CAP on this run, and I'd like to have as many Wayalifers as possible attend. So please, tell your friends and have them sign up and give us a wave!!
