AOAA - November 11th 2023

[ryan]

Anyone interested in a fall run at AOAA? Happy to lead a group, won't make you do the stupid hard trails either, I promise

Depending on the day, I’m in. This sounds like a SxS kinda trip.

 

[Roert42]

Depending on when, I would be interested. See if I can get my brother involved too.

 

[ryan]

Thinking a Sat in Nov probably?

 

[Roert42]

Should be easy enough for me to get off a Saturday in November. Not aware of anything super important going on for any weekends in November.

 

[snoranger]

Saturdays are usually good for me.

As long as it isn't the weekend of the 4th and 5th (Drill), I should be good. Depending on the meet/start time, I may need to camp out somewhere the night before since it would be about a 5 hour drive.

doesn’t look like my brother wants to take his truck so I will probably take my 3/4T dodge.

Any specific equipment they check for there? There website only mentions a fire extinguisher and at least one recovery point on a full size vehicle.

Never actually seen them check anything.

There's a campsite at AOAA that's pretty nice

You sign some paperwork and they ask if you have registration, insurance, required equipment, etc. and they let you go.
I’ve only seen them check some people (not everybody) for alcohol and ATVs/UTVs for helmets as you leave the parking lot.

They looked at my cooler, saw it strapped down, and waved me right past

But they do not mess around about alcohol in the park

I was parked next to a guy who was pissed off that they confiscated 18 beers from his backpack… A guy on a quad took 18 beers for an afternoon trail ride... Why the F do you need 18 beers to go for a ride on your quad?!?!

To get completely trashed, why else?
