    Green/Blue trail report. Steve Dey and Ed R. Unfortunately a few folks didnt make it, but we picked up stray. Ed was running a 2k XJ on 33s. This was my 22 Bronco Badlands first trail ride. We headed out on C, then 2. Next was Crawlers Ridge then 1a. We met up for lunch with the Black trail group.

    Then to 101 where I snagged a rock on a skid pn a drop down. We had to stack few rocks to free it up. Then Crawl 4 Cops, a very cool Purple trail. 21. Ed high centered his XJ in his trans crossmember. Had to winch off and ended up rolling the entire boulder over. Didnt realize at the time but it trashed his crossmember and it was stuck in 4low. Later in the lot, Andy was able to remove the jambed up linkage and get it in 2w high. Great day out. The Bronco was amazing with the selectable lockers, and turn assist cutting break. She made it out unscathed abit a few skid plate scrapes.

    Not a bad idea, and something we have never really done as a club. Lets discuss this further with Andy (Trail boss) after the Members party. Perhaps meet up somewhere. I have way too much on my plate at the moment to think beyond January !

    How much: Free for 2024 members so get your membership in! We'll be feeding everyone buffet style. Cost for non-members is $33/pp. Kids are $17/each.

    *If you are a member and sign up but do not show, you will be responsible to cover your $33 meal cost (same as non-member). If you do not pay for your guests by 1/13 we will not be able to do anything to accommodate them. Sorry for taking a hard line on that but it has to be else the club risks a significant financial loss due to signups and no shows.


    Not a member yet? Sign up below, 2024 members try to get it done between the early renewal promotion 12/01-12/31 to get the discounted rate: https://delawareja.com/join-deja/



    The good stuff: Door prizes for members. We will have plenty of giveaways from various Jeep and outdoor related vendors.

    We truly appreciate all the support of the club.


    -Cash bar (listed first because most of you just want to make sure there's a bar)

    -Sliced Roast Beef with Mushroom Demi Glace

    -Chicken Bruschetta : Penne Pasta tossed with Chicken, Fresh Bruschetta, Mozzarella Cheese Balsamic Glaze

    -Green Beans

    -Rolls & Butter

    -Kid's Meals: Chicken Fingers, Fries, Applesauce, Drink

    We will do our best to accommodate everyone. They really don't want any more that we had last year which was 35, perhaps we can try one or two more if everyone gets really close. We will have a drivers meeting at 5:30 before we head into the game. The basic plan is at the start of the 7th we head out to our jeeps, drive around the stadium and line up along the back. At the end of the game, they will direct us in, we drive slow along the out field, then down around home plate up to the gate and stop.


    Important:

    - Please pull up very close to each other so everyone can fit.

    - Once we are all stopped, please turn off your engines and lights during the fireworks.

    - After the fireworks, we will roll out.

    - Meet up at Taco Grande for post mall crawl event.
