Hole in the Rock Plan to Plan thread

[TurboMinivan]

Anyone still interested and want to lock down some dates?

mbryson has begun a conversation elsewhere proposing to run HITR in October, specifically from the 16th to the 19th. I have arranged to get this time off work and have expressed my interest in going, but last night my wife said she and I need to sit down and plan out every proposed trip/time off for the next 16 months... which means I might not be able to make it. We'll see.

How does that date work for you?

I'll have to sit down and figure some stuff out with the wife. We have a wedding to go to in PA in the beginning of October and a trip to Oregon to plan as well but should hopefully be able to squeeze in a trip.

My October is booked, and September isn't looking much better.

Has anybody heard anything about repairing the washed out section?

Can we make it our next RME project?

I'm down, I think that's a great idea. Unfortunately I wouldn't have any idea who to contact with the BLM to get it arranged on their end, and I don't have any experience to know what would need to be done to make a safe and semi-permanent repair. If there's anybody willing to provide that knowledge and expertise, I'm more than willing to do whatever I can to help organize, and I'm willing to be grunt labor when the time comes.

I expect that any sort of organized effort through the BLM will rapidly turn into another Big Ridge.

Is it even really washed out? I've heard that a couple guys that have run HITR many times, that have seen the pictures and have run it since then, said the spot in question is the same as it has always been?

Haven't been there myself for a couple of years now, so really am asking the question, not providing any answers.

x2, as of late April:

"I just got back from HitR. The spot that has been mentioned as washed out is fine. We took 7 vehicles through there. The shortest with 88 inch wheelbase and the longest with 110 inch wheelbase. They all made it with out any problems. It is a little tippy to climb up on the step, but no more than it has been in my recent memory."

Most of those days fall on my new days off, the only day I would have to take off would be Wednesday which shouldn't be a problem. I'll request it off tomorrow and see what happens

I'd love to hit it with you and Marc.... be cool if Brian could join as well

 

[Kevin B.]

16th to the 19th won't work for me, I'll be in Moab.

No love for the weekend of September 28th?

 

[mbryson]

For the oct dates, I don't have to take my kids out of school. Makes those dates mucho easier for me.

FYI, the 28th is NPLD. Just a reminder (not trying to guilt you into changing plans just for NPLD)

I'd be interested in this trip, and I could probably talk my father into it also.

Bump

Too hot anytime soon for me. And I'm booked solid early Sep. through late Jan. But I've been wanting to do HITR again, had planned on doing it solo this spring but ended up having surgery instead .

All that to say, it's a long way off yet, but never too early to start thinking about it - I'd like to do HITR next spring.

[mbryson]

Still haven't done it and still way interested in doing it

 

[Jeromy]

me and a freind were talking the other day about trying to run this in the fall, Never done it either.

 

[Hickey]

Spring would be good for me as well. That will give me time to gear up the new ride.

 

[Hickey]

This is going somewhere.

 

[Spork]

This is going somewhere.

About time. I'm in.

 

[DAA]

I'd be interested in the spring time. Has been a long time since I've done HITR.
