A couple of us Hummer owners around the KC area have expressed interest in a Saturday trip to Kansas Rocks Recreation Park on 4/28. Here's what I was planning:
Several participants have noted that they are novice to wheeling, it has been a while, or they've never wheeled in their Hummer. No worries; this will be a very slow-paced, learn-as-you-go kind of trip. There's no awards for completing a trail the fastest. I wheel with the adage "As slow as possible and as fast as necessary." My goal is to first of all meet some local Hummer owners, second to gain more experience wheeling, third to not break down or damage our Hummers, and lastly to have fun. Oh, and it's also even better if you can do all of the above without embarrassing yourself in front of a bunch of Jeeps. :emb:
Bring any tools or recovery gear that you think you might need. I carry plenty of recovery gear and tools, so don't feel like you need to bring the whole garage. I would strongly recommend airing down at the park, especially if you have stock or less-than-aggressive tires. The park usually has an air compressor available for airing back up before you hit the highway. I will also bring my portable compressor. I usually run about 16-18 lbs PSI. Any lurkers in the KS/MO area, this would be a great time to come out and have some fun with other Hummer owners! Lastly, feel free to bring the better half or kids - several of us will have have our families there.
* The rally point for anyone that wants to convoy with Team Trekker will be the Stanley Bank (SW corner of 151st & 69 HWY GPS N38.85403 W94.67844)
- Meet at the park at 9:00 AM, or ...
- Meet me South of Olathe at 7:30 AM and we can convoy to the park*
- Bring a lunch
- $15 KS Rocks fee
- Signed waiver
- We will use channel 28 on CB (I have a spare handheld if someone needs it)
- We will probably wheel until late afternoon
