Holy Jeeps Batman. I took the crew out on another short cut and picked up some stragglers along the way. A bunch Jeeps wheeling through the forest. I think I’ve graduated the online jeep guide tour class. I need my tifacit.
Took another shortcut but I brought a train with me this time. Wild!

any plans to be in the hot springs area last weekend of April?
Nice! But why does that one jk look so angry? Did you make him do something he didn't want to?
OP
I already scheduled another train for that weekend. But my wife wants to go back to the casino so I’m down with heading back there maybe may sometime. Would be great to have someone to run with.
OP
I do a lot of 101/201 type trips up here for nwa jeep club. I get all sorts. Hardcore crawlers and then you get the part timers etc. it’s why I hang out in here mostly. For the lulz. Lul….
OP
And for the record I did make one dude mad when he wouldn’t pull up and I asked him if he preferred me to drive his jeep. He was trying to force choke me. But it didn’t work. I was stronger in the force. Blaha!
We plan to go a few times this summer we’ll have to meet up there sometime. I’d love to go explore the ozarks but I’m not sure where we’d drop the trailer and head out from
OP
Where about a are you located and about where you looking to go. I’m 3.5hrs from hot springs. But like I said we are gonna go back anyway. Lots of places up here around fayetteville ar and it’s beautiful. We have off road parks. And I have the secrets to the forest wheeling. It’s great. I can entertain wheeling with staging areas. For a whole day. That includes everything but straight billy goat stuff. In fact anyone within fairly close distance if your interested let me know. I can take ya wheeling. I know some good ole boys local that just jump in and we go get it on the regular.

Man I’d love to go! I’m in Dallas Fort Worth so about 4 hours from hot springs and probably 5 from Fayetteville
OP
Have a look at when ya think you would like to come to fayetteville. This area is very nice. Restaurants on point. Eureka springs is close. Off road park there 3b concepts we can run around. And 20 minutes from me I have a whole forest area wheeling that has waterfalls and a perfect mix of everything. Sluices, creek shoots, slides. Some moderate rocky areas, high ridge to holler twisty pine groves. Moderate mud not a lot. I stay away from that unless it’s just blocking me. I also have a real nice run through the mountains and down a place called warloop rd. Which is a small leg of the transatlantic trail. Just really whatever you would like to do. With enough notice I can bring some of the crew. That’s always a blast. You could come up stay an evening or so do what ya want and then we can pick a day and place. Wheel Arkansas style!
OP
Hey! I grew up in Fayetteville! Weren't any parks when I was there. Town was only about 40k then. A lot has changed!
OP
Well that’s cool. I’ve been here since 89. So we was probably in town together. My brother went to west campus. I work for a lumber yard on Gregg street that’s been there over 100 years. I worked for the Arkansas mo railroad for a bit also. It had maybe 50,000 or less when I got here. The parks are not in fayetteville. But close.
I got there in 88! Small world! Went to east but took auto shop at west. At lunch we'd cross the road south and go up the hill behind the old folks home and drive around that unused field and smoke weed. Now it's all apartments/student housing. Graduated in 98, went to U of A, worked in Little Rock for a bit before moving out to Oregon. I think Hot Springs was the first offroad park in the state, I was able to go there a few times in my XJ. Ended up in wood products out here, making plywood and LVL.
OP
You may have known my brother. Byron ran around with a kid named Jeremy Collins. Pretty sure they was sneaking around there smoking weed also. Blaha! I got off a bus on north college straight out of the army in front of fiesta square Hardee’s walked right in midway liquor no shirt 18yrs old dog tags and bought a quart of beer. That was like 89. I’m sure we have mutual friends at some capacity. Now that’s a small world.
@CptnMurica @LJtheunicorn If you guys find a few days let me know, I might be in on a trip too!
I’ll be at hot springs offroad next weekend @CptnMurica is leading a big group through the ozarks
@LJtheunicorn I get off work Saturday morning at 0700 and it's a 7 hour drive to Hot Spring for me so I'm probably out on that. Do you know where in the Ozarks @CptnMurica will be doing his thing? Doubtful I'd be making that one either.
No I don’t know the details on that trip. I was planning to join him today and tomorrow but life got involved and it didn’t happen.
