[QUOTE="t_j, post: 731667, member: 12397"] The general idea is to run a route similar to the trans wisconsin adventure trail, leaving from northern IL at around 7am on Saturday the 23rd. Proposed plan (more details to come). [SIZE="5"]Saturday[/SIZE] 6:30am - Meet in N IL (probably in the vicinity of Rockford - current proposal is the belvidere oasis on I-90) 7:00am - Leave meeting spot heading north on I-90 10:30am - Arrive at Wausau WI meeting spot to join up with WI/MN members - Gas station at 10201 Park Plaza, Rothschild, WI 54474 or 44°51'54.4"N 89°38'18.4"W 11:00am - Depart Wausau for start of route 12:00pm - Start route north through state forest (Fun starts here) 6:00pm - Stop for the day head to camp ground to eat, drink and sleep [SIZE="5"]Sunday[/SIZE] Hit the trails and run until people have to split to head home. [SIZE="5"]Signup list:[/SIZE] Please signup [URL="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ozih5MO3NCFV-JeMvzVvhUXXW3-c_FfHgGJf4SA3-Jo/viewform?usp=send_form"]here[/URL]. People who have signed up: 1. t_j, 2. shooterAMG 3. kmandoske 4. Seth Heller 5. Big Blue 6. Sleezy87 7. Fingermalone 8. caverndiver 9. 12raptorcrew 10. Crikk 11. mnblly People who have expressed intrest but not signed up yet: 3. Huck 8. pwjstruebig 14. Bussy 15. Kevin Kuntz (FB) - Jeep 16. carlschmarl2 [SIZE="5"]Tools/Equipment (basically the usual):[/SIZE] * Good spare (or 2 no time for a pre-run so it could be bad for tires unsure) preferably not under the truck but that is optional. * Recovery strap and shackles * We should probably have at least one axe and a chainsaw in the group incase there are fallen trees. * Fuel - At least 5 gallons of extra fuel - possibly 10 gallons for SCREWs more info as dig into stopping points in the route. * Shovel if you have one * Off road jack - race jack with skid plate or hi-lift with 1'x1' block or foot * Basic tool kit * Water/snacks/human fuel for the trip * Radio - Handled should suffice (Baofeng UV-5R is a nice cheap option ($35) and readily available from amazon) we will probably use a GLRE channel. * GPS solution - MotionX(ipad) or Backcountry Navigator(android) on a tablet or a lowrance (or similar) * Camping gear if you are going to camp * A good sense of humor and some patients if we find the route blocked for some reason and have to reroute. [SIZE="5"]Notes:[/SIZE] Pets welcome, I will have my mutt and I'm sure Keith will as well. On the way up there will probably have to be a fuel stop for those of us with SCAB's especially if we are running hard. We could make this stop Wausau then people could meet us there from MN at around 10:30am. This would have a group leaving from Minneapolis departing at approx the same time we will from Rockford. If people are interested we can step the game up like the Mid Atlantic guys and I can get some shirts and stickers printed up. One final note, lets hope we don't end up with another game of spin the rum chata on Saturday night. The **** route GPX files can be found [URL="http://www.lonewolfexpeditions.com/twatgps.html"]here[/URL]. [SIZE="5"]Shirt Tracking:[/SIZE] t_j - 1 * XL 1 * M Big Blue - 1 * L caverndiver - 1 * XXL 13raptorcrew - 1 * L [/QUOTE]
