Hey all you Dallas area drivers, last fall we tried to put together a Hummer trip to Barnwell Off Road Park, only Dave and I made the trip.
Isn't it getting about that time to put together another trip hopefully this time with a few more rides? If not Barnwell then maybe that other park up northwest of DFW? I forget the name of the place and it's no where near as large as Barnwell but I'd be willing to go there too. For that matter I'm game to go back to Moab..............
Whattya say guys and gals?

I haven't been to Barnwell but I have seen lots of pics and videos. It looks like a lot of fun. There are some pretty challenging areas there and it is a pretty popular spot.

Barnwell has some serious level 5 trails that only a spider rig can traverse. Even the 2's and 3's are challenging in spots. It's a huge area, aroun 1850 acres and over 60 trails. There's plenty of elevation changes and a few wash crossings that may be wet depending when you're there.
The biggest downside is some trails are extremely tight with thick brush on both sides of the trail and sometimes it's hard to follow the trail maps. Download the one off their website, I think it's a pdf and in color. The maps at the office are black and white xerox copies that are even harder to read. It's fun to explore the trails but you may end up needing to compound some brush scratches on the sides of your ride.
Maybe we can spark some interest and get over there sometime soon.

No, not currently in any club. You can get a discount on the entry fee if you're a card carrying member of TMTC I think, otherwise you pay $20 for the day if you're a non member.

I thought it was a Hummer Club event? Either way - I gotta work.
