Central Kansas Trail Run!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will for sure have room if anyone needs a ride from McPherson. I'm bringing the van caused it has a 100 outlet in the back to plug my solder iron into
 
The fellow + wife that was going up with me canceled :( There is another local that may ride up with me and bring his rigs. I will keep you updated.
 
Could you post directions from Raymond KS to the area we will be meeting? If there isn't celphone coverage in the area it would be handy to know in case folks get lost.

Awesome bout the outlet!

My brother has a free schedule, and is pretty stoked to take pictures and meet people (I just hope he stays outta the way, he's never done this before...) So I'll have a ride.

Me (and my 1 rig), my brother (and his camera), and my roommate (and his 1 rig) WILL be there Sunday.

Please post a link to directions! There's always mapquest, but I at least need an end point"thumbsup"

edit: I'll have a cooler full of water! (if anyone's interested)

I guess it will just be me in the van then. I never did get a rig for my daughter, so she wont be going. I'll also have a cooler with drinks too.

I will probably bring a couple chairs and my canopy as well.

Doc, did you get that hood hinge figured out?
 
Should get it fixed up thursday, will fab up one bracket tomorrow night, someones lack of measuring left the whole cage high on one side. got power to it tonight and she works great, crawls like a champ. But my batteries are shot, got about 10 minutes of run time from one. Qnyone got some old 7.2 or 9.6 packs the dont use anymore? Or even a 2s, i have the tyco style connectors on it right now. Might hit walmart in mac and see if they have any packs i could buy cheap.

I highly doubt Wal-Mart will have any... but I do think I remember seeing Radio Shack have a couple in stock. It's been a few months since I've been in there, but since it's close to WM it might be worth a shot...?:wink: If I had any spare batteries I'd gladly offer em up, but I'll be lucky to have enough juice myself!:shock:

So, Will we stay on 4th Rd. and head South past the bridge? I just don't want much confusion since cell phones/internet will be useless...

I too am planning on bringing a few folding chairs, and a folding camp table. I'll bring my array of tools/hardware as well"thumbsup"

Shack has a 1600Mah for 30 bucks and some change, more then i want to pay for a battery but I need the run time. that and the packs i have should get me a couple of hours.

Dont waste your $ at the Shack... i have these 3800 mah nimh saddle packs from an old shafty...they're crude looking, but work fine. they still hold a good charge, i can cycle them for you and have them charged and ready to go by sunday if your interested? they have deans plugs on them already... i even have more than enough extra cells to make another one if you can round up some tabs...
