Redbird, Interlake or Badlands July 5

Yea posted that copied message, got a notification that some of my stuff was suspended and to check notifications. No notifications in the queue. Went to post a response to another comment and it popped up suspended until December 4th ?. I hate Facebook

I got some of those handheld cobras so I will bring them if only for the lead and trail jeep. Think the group will be pretty small so shouldn’t be a big deal.

So what time are you thinking to start that day? I’m ok with early.

I’ve been fortunate compared to others but when they would occasionally screw up my paycheck…. hurry up and wait.

Yea I like talking crap but as being a in the military has been good for me and the family. When this 20 years is up trying to go for a second government retirement.

Any luck on the time? All I saw was dawn to dusk.

Here’s all I found. I think we’re good to go at those times.

I was an Army brat and Dad retired in ‘89. He is a 3 tour 130% rated Vietnam vet and I guess I get my critique both from his and my own personal military experiences. Same for my uncles. I was briefly Army Reserve 12B out of FT Knox and went IRR for hardship. Then went active duty Air Force intel in Aug ‘01 and they screwed up and didn’t make sure I was TS clearanced before heading to AFSC training. Sat in limbo for 3 months. Finally the Pentagon broke open books to see what to do with prior service sister service to reassign their specialty after they already were assigned to a previous AFSC. Big mess.

Then I had a motorcycle wreck and was medical boarded. I’d had enough of a military experience and felt like I contributed enough to the air campaign over Iraq. I’m thankful for the life it provided as a kid and briefly in my adulthood but I don’t regret changing gears.

Nothing wrong with getting GS rated and it should be a great gig.

Worse case if it’s not open at 8am we can roll and get some grub.

Yeah I am happy to still be in, I was a 21B got hurt and when it went back to 12B they said no permanent profiles. Now I am a duck hunter (air defense). It’s been good to me. If I can do a second stint as GS and get 4 government checks in my retirement I will be ok with it ?

They offered staying in but I knew it would be a permanent career killing profile per Dad so I opted for medical discharge with a rating. I also didn’t want, at the time shady, VA saying that since I had a useable skill they wouldn’t give me a rating if things got worse. Things sound much better the last few years though as far as veteran treatment by VA.

3 going and 2 maybe’s so far.

Got a new tow strap for Father’s Day. Hopefully we don’t need to test it out

We have 6 so far!

So I’m thinking we should stage at the trailhead gravel lot after paying at the gate.

Unless a rider with more experience recommends changing things up, we may want to make a tentative route to attempt to keep it time efficient. A place to pull off for lunch would be great too.

Awesome! I am not real familiar with the place but can take a look at the map this week and put something together. Staging is definitely the way to do it, I will shoot you a PM with my number as well. Going to leave out of Indy at 5am. Figure with stopping to gas up prior to arrival I should be there right around 8am.

Time zone just occurred to me too. It’ll be 7 our time if I tell people 8 around here. Indy is Eastern still isn’t it?

As to the map, I’m familiar with one loop that starts there in the gravel parking lot, west, north, then generally east and south back to the gravel lot. I’m thinking of calling and asking about the NW edge of the park where you can see two blue loops that are just off green. Maybe others stop for lunch and the Blue riders hit one or both of those?

Do they require the orange marker flags at all? Didn’t see anything saying they did on the website.
