BruceyWV Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 We could play like the rest and put "Jeep Recovery Team" I see Landrover/H2 ones on jeeps all the time. But I still like the STi one better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjo Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 So i just realized that it has to be one color... and we don't have pink at work or... I'm not really into flashy stuff...like huge windshield stickers :-p i could make some USMB.net stickers too or... whatever yall want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjo Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Ok... back on topic. -When & Where are we meeting? (Paragon ~9-10am?) -Who's Camping out & where? -Who's Crashing in 75 subie's front yard? -Convoy Ideas? Where are you coming from.. & when... -Are we going to try & get a group rate? --If so, i bet we'll need ##'s there were more things... but i forgot them... we should be somewhat organized So, i'm planning on heading down friday night i think (it's a long drive..), and maybe staying in Hartford, CT that night, and finnishing the drive in the AM. Then i'll try to find a campground or something in the paragon area... that allows beverages Oh yeah! if yall' can score CB radios for the trip that'd be cool too, it's always fun being able to chat & well.. use the radio while wheelin' And if you want a sticker of somesort, let me know.. i can just do a large mixed batch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 9-10am at paragon is fine for me i will be going to harry's after the meet, and then heading home after a dinner stop, probably late at night. i wish i could offer for people to stay in or camp out at my house, but i seriously have no spare rooms, currently my house is TOO full:lol: there are plenty of camp grounds around my house though, and there is even some great fishing 15 mins from my house, with a campground next door. i went 2 days ago and got 53 fish in 4 hours. there were some huge crappies, sunnies, pikeral, etc. i`m in for a convoy! group rate would be awesome! i`ll look around for that info. the CB idea sounds cool also, i`ll look for a cheap one soon!

Andyjo Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I was just looking at the site.. i dunno if we can manage a group rate... " 1-Day Pass $35 per vehicle (includes driver) Group rates is available for groups of 25 or more. " i doubt we have more than 25 :-\ Passengers are 5 bucks, More: Basic SUV/4x4 Vehicle Requirements: Seat belts and rollover protection for all occupants Four Wheel Drive, low range is not mandatory Hard mounted tow point front or rear Recovery strap (no metal hooks on the ends) Full size spare Battery tie down Orange safety flag At least three vehicles in a group ... so i'm planning on rigging a flag on here at home, so i dont have to pay for one there Their site isn't very good.. but has some info... http://www.paragonap.com/ Trail Maps: http://www.paragonap.com/p_trailmaps.htm And of course, there's a waiver that we all have to fill out: http://www.paragonap.com/adobedocs/waiver_v03_06-2005.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayn3ver Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Well, depending on others, i'll probably just leave early saturday morning(coming from Philly/Ben Franklin). I am down for camping out, but i don't currently have a tent. I might be able to borrow one from a friend, but i do not know what kind of quality of the tent(if it rains, i dont want to get all wet). I have a 95 impreza coupe, so i cant sleep in it, comfortably. Is anyone else coming through the philly area, cause if so, we can travel together in a group. I was considering camping friday night and saturday night, but i don't know if thats too much for some people. I'll work on getting a cb. Should i lok at an expensive one or will a cheaper one(like forester ranger has, it has all the controls on the hand mic). Gotta figure out where to put the antena. And the orange flag i think i am gonna mount on my FM atenna on the A pillar. I also need to aquire a full size spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceyWV Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I've got a spare CB handheld, runs off cigarette socket of course. I need to get a real one wired up though, thats a good excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
