This is the first GR8GPN Jeep Cache Event


Mr. Simpson getting his "Jeep Ride"


"The_Simpson's" CJ7 @ Carnage Corner


As you may or may not know, my father Mr. Simpson of “The_Simpsons” had a heel spur removed from his foot and has been hobbling around on crutches for a few weeks now. He was just granted permission from the doctor to slowly start walking of the foot. He was warned to “take it slow” but knowing him, he will be walking w/o the aid of the crutches very soon Come the time of this event, he should be ready to slap on the hiking boots and go caching!

My father’s birthday is early in October. Every year when we ask him what he wants for his birthday we get the same answer: “A Jeep ride.” After being cooped up in the house for 6 weeks, he will be good and ready for this “Jeep Ride”

Come on out to 5 Mile Pass and join the GR8GPN family and The_Simpson’s for my father’s Birthday Jeep Ride. GR8GPN will provide some birthday cupcakes for all who attend. If you would like to bring something to share (snacks, cookies, etc.) feel free to do so. Bring your own drinks and a lunch to eat on the trail. I just placed a series of 6 caches along this trail and there are many others in the area.

Where: 5 Mile Pass area. (Sunshine Canyon)The “Rattlesnake Jeep Trail”

When: 9:00A.M, Saturday, October 13, 2007

Details: (Please read carefully!)

This is a 4x4 trail ride event. Bring your 4x4 or ATV out for some fun in the desert.

Trail description: The Rattlesnake Jeep Trail holds a rating of 3.5 (on the Moab scale). The Red Rock 4-wheelers 3.5 rating description is as follows:
“Roads in difficult terrain. Expect to drag front, rear, or middle occasionally. Excellent stock truck or utility vehicle required, with considerable driving skill needed.”

I would not recommend driving a bone stock 4x4 utility over this trail, unless it is a Jeep Rubicon or Toyota FJ40. A small lift kit, bigger than stock tires, skid plates, and one locking differential will help tremendously. However, the experience of the driver plays a huge role is how well a vehicle does. If you feel comfortable bringing a stock vehicle to this trail, GR8.

The trail is approx. 3 miles long. We will have a 9AM meeting and snack at that time. We will set up vehicle order according to equipment and driving skill. GR8GPN is willing to “spot” you through the rough spots. Please, let’s keep the rock stacking to a minimum.
We should be done with the trail around 2PM. At this time, we will find a shady area and have a tailgate lunch. TB’s, geocoins and any trackables can be exchanged / discovered. GR8GPN’s Jeepster Commando is a Travel Bug (Ref# TBNH77), anyone in attendance will be allowed to log it, just ask.

Recommended equipment to bring:
Spare tire
Jack
Water
Tow Strap
Basic tool kit
Your sence of Adventure!

This is a children friendly event. However, there are open mine shafts in the area. Keep a watchful eye on your children at ALL times.

Attend this event at your own risk.

GR8GPN says "Thumbs Up!!"
