@Tredsdert is calling them today just to double check that the trails aren't a slip and slide. I think they'll be fine based on how Tyler looked when i was there over the weekend.

He and I are both going. Going to roll out at 6, get some quick breakfast in Sulphur Springs, and I think we should be there right around 9.

Sorry about that. Had some stuff going on yesterday and today, but as of right now we're still looking good for tomorrow.

I literally just got off the phone with the lady over at the office at Barnwell, she said they do in fact have 2026 OHV stickers available at the office for $17 each. You can pay with card if this is your first time buying one.

Also I asked her about the trails and she said she went out yesterday and the The trails are dry, with a few puddles, which is not that different from the last time I went with @BDinTX . I also asked her what the outlook for the weekend is weather wise (If you weren't aware, most off-road parks and off-road areas you go to, it's part of the business to know what the outlook for the weather is. So asking something like that is never a bad idea. They want customers, so giving you a good idea of what you're getting yourself into is part of theirs.) Regardless she did say it's looking partially cloudy and cooler tomorrow, but as of right now she said no chance of rain in Gilmer.

I never know who to trust nowadays, when it comes to weather forecast. Honestly when I head out, if it's cloudy and looks like it's going to rain I just go prepared in case it does. But yeah, that's the problem with weather is everyone has a different idea of what's going to happen, and you never really know who to believe until it's happening.. 🤷‍♂️

All the images below are for Gilmer, Texas, and the screenshot from WFAA, you'll have to figure out where Gilmer is you're on your own. ;):CWL:

This is what Longview's (20 miles South of Gilmer) Weather looks like for Saturday.
PS - I'm not going to be able to make it. My wife works in a CPA office and October is just as bad as April is for them. All the Corporations and Companies taxes are due in October. She's been working a bunch and she wants to just go away for a few days. I'm the driver for this trip.

You will be missed!

Next time we all get together, if you make it, you got to promise to bring your dad and his awesome Jeep! 🤩



As for me, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to make it tomorrow. We had a emergency ER visit for our dog on Wednesday night. Severe jaundice, and they recommended the specialist. We were able to get her into the specialist yesterday, and today she has been having a liver biopsy to see if she was going to make it through the weekend (basically). So the good thing is that they identified the issue being the gallbladder, so they removed the gallbladder, and put in a gallbladder stint. She's going to be okay, but we aren't going to be able to visit her until tomorrow night. So I'll be leaving tomorrow around 2:00, the same time as @Tread4Lo so that I can make the 2-hour drive home to Anna, before we have to drive into Dallas to see my sweet little doggy.

Also I'm currently a little more than $10,000 in the hole, so I can't break anything tomorrow or my wife's never going to forgive me! 😭

If you guys want to help me out, I'll be on the corner of Spring Valley and Dallas North, over by Al Biernat's North every night this week except for tonight, trying to make that money back!

Also, doubt you'll break anything since we'll be limited by what I can run

Awesome day to get out and do some wheeling. @shagles and @Tredsdert glad to meet you all here in SS and get over to Gilmer.

Side note, now my boys want to go with me next time I head out there. I may have to plan a trip sooner than later.

December!!!

I try to go once a month if I can! It depends what's going on. We got two birthdays in early December, and obviously the end of the month is pretty busy, but for me the middle of the month is open! Plus my birthday is on the 10th so the wife pretty much can't tell me "no"! ;)

Like the other guys said, it was a great time. We stuck to 2s and 3s. @Tread4Lo and I did one more trail after @Tredsdert had to leave, and we almost ended up trading paint with some Toyotas. I’ve got a few videos and some photos I’ll drop in here.

I’ve got to say, Barnwell has gotten a decent bit harder since i was there 13 years ago. There’s only one green trail, and i think a stock (non Rubi) jeep would have some trouble in a couple of spots on the trails we did. I don’t think my stock TJ on 31’s would have made it through everything cleanly, and I wheeled for a full day without issue back then.

This one is the introductory video, 3 minute video short heading out to Barnwell. I kept most of the videos to 30 minutes or less, that way doesn't take a day and a half to upload onto YouTube!



... More to come, probably will post them this evening depending how the upload times end up going.. ;)
