** DEJA Trail Ride @ Rausch Sat Nov 30 2013 -Member Appreciation Ride- **

This is how I go to RC from West Chester

Take Rt 100 to the Downingtown on ramp for the turnpike
Go towards Harrisburg
Take the Morgantown Exit I-176
Merge onto 422W
Take the left exit for 222N
Take the reading Airport exit Pa RT 183 N
Turn left onto I-78W
Take Exit 13
Turn right onto 501N
When 501 ends turn left to head into town. unsure of street name maybe Rock?
you will pass a tank
When that street ends, turn right. Maybe Tulpehocken.
Follow until you see signs for RT 81 that tell you to turn left
Should be Molleystown Rd
Right after you turn left you will see a convenience store gas station and Burger king on the right.
At this point you can stop to get food and take a bathroom break.

Most people with 4x4s there will be heading up to RC

So if you didn't stop, continue straight up the winding road
RC will be on the left with a big sign.

Hope that helps

I know it's a little late, but Wayne Hess (daddanelena) and I were talking today and he suggested (and I agreed) that if we could get a Jeeps for Joy wish list together quickly, and someone could drag the stuff home, it may be a good opportunity for for those of us that are going to be unable to make it to Pipe Creek on Dec 7 to make a contribution. Just throwing it out there!

I'll take what I can fit in the Scrambler.

Bill, can we put the items in the pavilion until we are done with the trail ride?

I took the time to check out the JFJ thread. The list is there. I can't make it on the 7th so I'm gonna bring some stuff to RC.

Quote from Stafford

high of 45, low of 30 and 0% chance of rain. Not bad, would be nice if they get some snow over the next few days that sticks around through the weekend.

So we know who to kick in the nuts now when the weather is shitty....

FYI... there is a road (can't remember the name of it) that shoots off to the left as you come down the hill on RT501 that goes out to 443. Go left onto the road, left again at the stop, and go straight onto 645. It cuts that corner off in Pine Grove where you have to turn left or right. Its also WAAYY easier (and roomier if your towing) to see at that intersection too.

If you turn left in town, go to 81 and head north for 2 exits. Turn right onto 209, and turn left onto Molleystown Rd in approx. 1 mile. Then up the hill and RC is on top.

Don't know if it is still under construction, but the bridge along that route was out when I was at RC in Oct. They wouldn't let me ford the creek! Having said that it's the route I normally take to avoid that hard uphill left at the stop sign.

Bridge is fixed and its open now. I just came through there yesterday. Yeah, that turn is a pain too when your towing.

A.

I'm out. Gotta work.

The weather has to be shitty for that? I just want to see Stafford smash his own tail light for fun again.

Quote from Stafford

Ha, that was epic. I think Ian still owes me $100 for betting I wouldn't do it.

He bet someone else $50 to do it. The epic part was you jumping the gun and doing it yourself.

Some how I got bumped off the list so i'll add myself again.

I add my self and one person will stay over night and need to find a set of rooms

Ok, count me out of the convoy deal if y'all are headed up 202, Google maps has me taking 896 to rt. 10 which is likely what I will run with.

I can only go with what Google Maps is telling me. I said I don't know how to get there. I'm not comfortable with the directions that were given so I have to go with the GPS and I'm assuming it will follow this.

The quickest way from newark is the 95-202-100-turnpike.... way. I've tried just about every way. Usually takes me 2h 15min if I don't stop.

From Newark area the Rt 10 route is usually the fastest. I can make it 2hrs including a Wawa stop. But I'm picking upa friend in Chadds Ford on 202 so I have to do a different route this time.

Stafford, Can you please confirm when we should be at the park?
