Green1 brought up the idea of a North Texas trip to get a change of scenery which sounds like a good plan to me.

So who's up for it? Calamitygirl, I'm hoping you'll be there. Calamitygirl put some good videos of the park on Youtube.

As of right now I can go anytime in July because we haven't turned in our schedules yet at work but that day is quickly coming so if we could all nail down a weekend soon I would greatly appreciate it!

You do have to have the Texas OHV sticker to ride.

I'm interested but not committed yet. It definitely would be closer for us, thats for sure. I'll have to check out the videos of the place and see what its like there. I'd have to get a sticker and check my work schedule but working 4/10's should make it easy enough. Is this replacing or in addition to the HFAP trip Chris is planning?

This would be in addition to the hidden falls trip. There will be at least 3 of us at hidden falls.

It appears I will have to pass on this trip. From the videos, it seems mud tires are a must and I only have all terrains an don't see new tires in my near future.

Mud in July? Aside from this month I dont think its rained all that much there. But, new mud tires should be on by then and I love playing in the mud. :D

I'm leaning more toward this if my daughter in McKinney is able to find a break from her acting for some muddy trails.

Fru At's are fine at Barnwell. Let's pick a date and and go from there. I will say that work is keeping me busy but I will try very hard to go. The only reason I have not posted anything is my schedule is changing a lot right now and planning is hard to do. I will be out of the country again soon for an extended trip but don't have details except what the project will be.

I may be in if it's the first part of July. I've run BMRA in the rain and mud isn't a huge issue.

I should be in depending on the date. Fru and I found lots of mud yesterday. I buried my truck to the frame in some on FM Tro (LVL 3-5). Nothing a winch and a good thorough hosing off at home didn't solve but Hidden Falls was about as sloppy as I've seen it. I'm sure Fru will post the picture of me with a huge smile on my face in mud and water just high enough that I was able to open the driver door without any coming in, again on a trail - not one of the mud pits. If the water were two more inches deep, I wouldn't have been laughing. Some of the creek bed was rock bottom with water, other parts were sludge. You couldn't tell which was which until you got into it.
