October 14-16 will be our fall trip to Snow Shoe up above State College, PA. We will be hanging out with the EVOR guys up there and they are letting us use their camp. We will travel up on Friday wheel Saturday then come home Sunday. You can fit a small camper or bring a tent, depending on how many people come there could be room in the cabin. Bring your own food and drinks and adult beverages if you desire.
Everyone coming make sure you bring your own drinks, beer, snacks, food, pillows, blankets, towels and what nots. You can bring stuff to share as well, as we usually have a buffet set up on the table and everyone picks at it. If everyone would also bring something to chip in for Sunday breakfast for everyone that would be great. Please post what you will bring for sunday's breakfast
Please let me know asap so I can give them a head count.
Here is the address to the Uni-Mart where we normally meet the guys up there but I know where to go so I can get us to the cabin which is 20 min up the road from the Uni-Mart/
42 Main St Beech Creek Pa 16822
I will be leaving around 4 or as soon as I get the boys out of school.

I'm in!!
-
I'm in this year. I'll be driving up from Millheim Saturday morning and returning to the comforts of home that evening. ;D
What time is breakfast on Sunday? Will there be any wheeling on Sunday? Just want to know how early I'd have to get up for that day.
-
I'm going! My first trail ride - so go easy guys (and gals) on me! I just installed a Mopar 4" lift, Pro Comp rims, 35" MT tires, Rock Hard bumpers, Warn Powerplant winch, skid plates, etc, on my 2011 JK Unlimited - yeah, Quadratec LOVES me . . . cha - ching! Now if there was only a kit out there to help the driver! Looking forward to the trip AND learning from you seasoned drivers.

Bryan,
Advise:
Only drive where you are comfortable. No pressure shall be placed on you...understand that.
Feel free to walk the trail ahead before driving...many do.
Enjoy your trip.
-
Don't worry, we'll take good care of you Bryan!! ;D
-
Bryan they are all easy going trails......we wont make you do anything your not comfortable with. The only thing I can say is don't be afraid of scratches, some of the trails are tight and not groomed in areas and you can get small scrapes and scratches.
-
Thanks all for the tips. Guess I shoulda been more clear - this is my first trail ride with a club/group of people. Don't get me wrong, it has been a while and my first time out in the JK. Caution is my middle name. ;D
I'm open for suggestions on what grub you want me to bring for Sunday breakfast, etc. See everyone in a few weeks!

Sure Dan, we are practically neighbors after all. :) Bryan (cjl5guy) will be meeting up to convoy too. Not sure what time yet, I'm off all day on Friday. Anyone else interested in joining the convoy? Anyone have a time preference?
-
Thanks Colli, I'm off Friday also. Any time is good with me, just let me know.
-
I'm in. Were leaving from Lancaster and will arrive sometime Friday evening.
-
When will the convoy from York be arriving in Beech Creek? I may be available to check out the camping area on Friday and socialize a bit before returning to Millheim for the night. That'll make it easier for me to find on Saturday morning.
-
Chip there is usually someone that meets at the Uni Mart in Beech Creek at 8 am on Saturday if you cant make it Friday night. Most of us are not up till later in the evening.
-
Thanks, Jenn. I might have the time to pop up on Friday night, so maybe I'll see some of you there. If not, I'm definitely planning on Saturday and maybe even Sunday breakfast. I now have both PA Jeeps and EVOR stickers on the jeep and I'm looking forward to the 15th as well as the event in November. :)
-
Anyone deciding to come and wishes to convoy up with us we all are meeting at the Bass Pro shop in Harrisburg at 11am. Right now i have Dan, Colli, John Meehan and myself.
-
Dan - we'll leave from the park and ride in Shrewsbury at 10:15.
-
OK, see you then..
-
We'll be heading up with brother Mike & family + the Hartenstine's once school is out.

Jenn & Colli,
I'm out for this weekend... It seems I forgot about my in-laws anniversary party saturday (I still say I was never told). The wife says it would be in my best interest to go to the party and not have fun fourwheeling. Enjoy the weekend and see you all at the Penns Cave ride.
-
Darn. Well we will miss you Dan. Enjoy the in-laws! :-\
-
Will the Friday convoy be taking 322 through State College? If so, I can join up with you there. If you're leaving around 11am, that should put you in State College somewhere around 1 PM.
-
Oh that party don't sound as fun as wheeling.....maybe you can come out and play next weekend.
-
This weekend just keeps getting better and better, party tomorrow and now I'm being told I'm going to the home and garden show in Timonium Sunday,,HELP ME >:(

Here's some pictures (actually a lot) from the trip this weekend: http://s1136.photobucket.com/albums/n484/bake4me1/PA%20Fall%20Jeep%20Ride%202011/
This was my first trip out with the club. I had a blast! Thank you all for making me feel welcome, and especially watching my back on the trail!
Good food, good Jeeps, and GREAT people made it a weekend to remember. Well worth the 5 hour drive up (and then back home)! :D I can't wait to do it again!
-
Well, the ride was really great and the rain made some of the easy roads a little challenging. I got some pics of The Gorge and Whiskey Springs:

Lots of shots of Jen's undercarriage - not too many are repeats of the same time she put the tires in the air. Likewise with the little yellow flatty. Both drivers exhibited some excellent driving skills to make it out.
Jen claimed she wanted to take the flares off to prepare for new tube fenders anyway. ;D
I'll attempt to post some video from my dash cam later.

A great weekend, just a little muddy lol. Rain on Fri cleared up on Sat. EVOR had some other clubs come in and we broke off into groups. Everyone in our group had a blast thanks Jim. Had a few problems and an injury in one group, hope Jim N father in law is ok. As always great food and great people around the fire after the ride, we had so much food and then another buffet on Sunday. Thanks for letting us coming up and staying at camp.
Brian and Chip thanks for taking all the pictures and posting them.
PS- I just don't like those fender flares!
Dan how was the home show.....LMAO!
-
Thanks to all my EVOR friends (and Kurt :P) for another great weekend of wheeling, chowing down, and all around fun and merriment! Jim, Jonni, and the gang were great hosts, (as usual) and my best friend Grady did a great job with his Wheeling for Wishes event. I must say I love the new "ring of fire", even though I think my eyebrows are slightly singed. I didn't take lots of pictures, but here they are:

P.S. Thanks to Jenn and Jacob, the fastest pit crew on PA Rte. 322, for helping change the blown tire on my trailer. Trailers are great, but they sure can be a big P.I.A. sometimes. (Pain In the.... you get the rest)
-
That was some crazy crevice driving! How long did it take the average person to get through it?
-
This is Grady. I don't have an account for Pa Jeeps yet. I am using my dad's just to give a big thanks to everyone who came out for my senior project. Everything went great (other than the rain). Thanks to the great turn out I managed to raise $763 for Make a Wish Foundation. Hope to see you all at "No Roads Necessary" in November! Thanks again everyone!

I have uploaded a ~7 minute video from my tailgunner dashcam to the album above (same as my photos). Since the leaves were not in full color, it's at standard quality to save space.
The camera is hardmounted to my dash, so the bounces and tilts are just what the jeep is doing at that moment.
Again, Lots of FUN ;D and miles - at 51.5 miles, it's the longest single trail ride I've been on.
