[TravEX]

BUMP

Grant and Bronson, i know ya'll will make it,,,right?

[Razorback]

Hey guys,

Do you think July 11-13 would be too hot? The heat doesn't bother me, but I know it does some people. Either that July date or - May 30,31 and June 1 - will work best for me. Let me know what you think.

Crap. Sorry Trav. I missed that post. Actually I remember seeing it, but forgot to respond. Anyway, no, I don't have it anymore. Sold it a few weeks ago.

[TravEX]

ok,,thanks,,,

july would be fine with me,,,i have alot of stuff to take care of and a lot of weekends to work in April and May,,,i'll try to call Bronson and Grant and see what they think,,,

[tryken]

Razorback; thanks for pointing this out for me. The July weekend will probably work better for me, that is if I don't have National Gaurd that weekend or haven't been deployed by then. Hopefully we can talk about another Stars Stanley Cup.

I am going to Little Sahara May 15-18 (something like that, Wed. thru Sun.) any of you all going to be there?

[Razorback]

OK everybody. Let's go ahead and plan on July 11-13, with July 12th (Saturday) being the main ride day. Let me know everyone's thoughts about staying at the campground versus doing primitive camping out in the woods.

[tryken]

I am for the campground.

[TravEX]

yeah, if they will have us back!,,,hehe,,,i don't think he was a big fan of the E-series Choir!:eek: :blah LOL!

[Razorback]

Good. I am for the campground, too.

[MX26]

Hmm. I'm banned from the campground :ermm:

It seems that jerk and I have a difference of opinion over what a garden stake is, or isn't, and if I burned a few or not. That guy's strange... Very strange.

July 11th - 13th is good for me. I should have something to ride before then.. If not, I'll embarass you boys on a utility ;)

I liked the campground. The cabin we rented was pretty nice, but that plastic on the bed gets old! Especailly if you take your dog with ya lol. The only complaint that I have about the Wolf Pen camp is that I used almost 1/4 tank of gas on my carbed 250R getting to and from the trails.

You guys set this up, and I'll follow Scott :D

[Chris400extreme]

well i guess i am, it was supposed to be up to my ffriends to pay and they didnt. sorry about that. i gues me an you could do the primitive outlaw thing, with lots o cold beer! i will try to make it guys. later everyone

[Mxbubs]

Where is Mena located in Ark. and what kind of riding, and how much money? Im interested, will be coming from Baton Rouge.

[QuAdRaCeR244]

i say campground:)

it's the southwest corner,,,http://mappoint.msn.com/(zrav1r45bn5mi5jwtdcmbj45)/directions.aspx?&StartName=Baton+Rouge%2c+Louisiana%2c+United+State s&StartLocation=30.46163%2c-91.14773&EndName=Mena%2c+Arkansas%2c+United+States&EndLocation=34.59095%2c-94.24495&DataSetLangID=USA%2c409&RouteType=Quickest&RouteUnit=Miles,,,

that will be quite a drive for ya,,it's 5 hrs for me,,,the cost is reasonable, bout 30 bucks a night for cabins, bout 14 for campsite, the riding is free,,,lots of wood trails, and some long distance trips to land marks (1 trip we went on was 74 miles round trip, we had to go easy on the gas!! hehe),,,the wood trails are narrow, curvy, hilly, bumpy, etc,,,some LONG hill climbs too,,,we had a great time last year, it was VERY dusty and there was a burn ban on so we couldn't have a camp fire,,,all in all we had a great time,,,here's a pic of all of us,,,later

[Razorback]

just a little bump ;)

[QuAdRaCeR244]

bump

[toby400ex]

Like, how many hours from kansas city mo would this place be:confused:

[Razorback]

Should be about 6.5 hours from K.C. Basically, you would take 71 south all the way from K.C. to Mena. It should be mostly four lane highway until you get a little past Fort Smith, Ark., then it's two lane roads to Mena. Hope you can make it. It'll be fun.

[Instinctz]

This sounds like a cool trip, I would only be able to go in july though. I have everything going on may - june.

I'd go if there was some people from oklahoma going as well, that I could possibly meet up with. Would be along trip alone..

[tryken]

Anyone know what happened to Razorback. He hasn't posted in about a month.

[TravEX]

nope,,,i bet he's covered up at work,,,maybe he'll post soon,,,

[Razorback]

I'm back :) I've been in Sydney, Australia, for work. I was over there 3 weeks straight. It was a good trip, but a lot of very long hours, so I didn't get a chance to get on the board. It was fun, but I'm glad to be back home. The Sydney motorcycle show was going on one of the weekends I was there. Quite a few quads around, most of which I had already seen, but I did get to see a Gas Gas 450, and it is awesome. This one was all street legal, with signal lights, horn, locking gas cap, etc. I've got a grainy pic I'll post later.

Anyway, I'm back and I'm ready for the trip to WPG. Hopefully, I'll be in the states and able to go. My work is really interrupting my personal life right now :mad:

[TravEX]

that sounds like a cool trip,,,glad your back,,,what weekend in July we looking at?,,,later

[.:01_eXrIdEr:.]

-drew

[redrider ex]

yea i know :D hey i want to tell you all that go do not speed around the camp ground or pop wheelies my freind poped one wheelie over there and the guy that runs the place asked him to leave and when going from the camp to the trails or back hurry up and get off the county roads because the county cops are out there. Hey razerback i went over there two weeks ago and we went and found that cave and there were these three guys there that were from dallas and they said they ride in the mud all the time and they wanted to come up to see some big hills , any way there by the cave is a big hill going up the mountain and they were on sportsman 500's 4x4 's with coolers and big box's on the front racks that had radios and speakers built in and one guy flips down that big hill , he didn't get hurt but his atv fliped about 25 times and landed in a tree about 10 feet off the ground. Me and some more freinds are going again tommorow and staying all weekend sorry i can't make the EX riders ride.P.S to eldoexrider01 my wife saw what you wrote and she said that won't work.:D

Hey, sounds good. I'm really more of a MX track guy. My quad doesn't like some of the tight woods ;) There is a new place in Weatherford called Rip Char and I've heard from some friends that it's really cool. We should hook up there sometime, too.

[Chris400extreme]

well i am not gonna make it cause of national gaurd duties that weekend. sucks cause i gotta get that damn anthrax shot again. you guys will like to hear that i am putting some Nitrous on the 500 ex this week along with a 6" over swing arm. cant wait to killt he banshees. later, have fun and be safe

[TravEX]

i'm not gonna be able to make it either, my brother got married yesterday, and i've got a lot of stuff to get done next weekend along with helping him move some stuff,,,wish i was able to make it,,,later:(

[Yee-Haw_400EX]

Thats pretty cool to see all these guys from Arkansas. I never really knew there were too many Arkansans on this forum. I'm from Elkins. Its about 10 miles south of Fayetteville. Anybody been here?

[Razorback]

OK, I see a couple of folks can't make it now, but let's get a roll call for anyone who is going to make it. I've got me and at least two, maybe three others. I'm camping in a tent spot on the campgrounds.

I'll be in this truck pulling a white enclosed trailer.

[TravEX]

[Razorback]

[EXracer8604]

I just noticed this thread today, i can't make it now :(. I'm planning a trip to LA dunes in alexandria, la. probably in two weeks.

[eldoexrider01]

yeah i made my reservations today (thurs) haha. im in an overflow camp site. hey im not hattin. hopefully we will have a lil bit of rain already fallen this week so its not as dusty as last year!!!!:eek2: and all yall WPG I riders, yall know:o see all yall tomorrow !!

[eldoexrider01]

yeah everyone that couldnt come missed out!! me, scott and todd had a great time. us 3 original WPG I riders had a better idea of trails and with three of us we covered every non closed wpg trail loop out there. plus the cave and albert pike. we didnt take pics because of the weather but were about the same as last year. besides a couple of almost high speed wrecks that all of us avoided we did good. no bad wrecks like me last year! hahah. i cant wait for WPG III !!!!!!!!

[TravEX]

that sounds great, wish i coulda made it,,,was there a burn ban on this year?

later

[eldoexrider01]

naw man not at all. we rode alot and didnt have time to start a big fire but there was enough rain that week or before so there could be fires.

[Razorback]

Yep, you guys that didn't go missed out on a great time. We covered some serious miles. Like eldo said, we had a couple of close calls. I slid about 20 feet right at the side of a bridge and got within 10 inches of going over the side. Damn it was scary. Weather was nice with the little morning shower. Can't wait until next time.
