Rausch Creek 10/2 to 10/6

Unread post by MDSRACING398 »

*This is all plagiarized from Kurt's post last year.

Time to start planning for our second Rausch trip this year.!

This trip is open to club members and non-club members.

The planning has begun for our trip down to Rausch Creek Off Road Park this October
Rausch is by far the BEST place you can go to wheel that's less than a days drive to get to!

About Rausch Creek
Rausch offers 40 different trails to explore on over 1,700 acres ranging from stocker friendly to moderate blues all the way up to hard core, something for everybody! In addition to the miles of trails Rausch also has an expansive competition course to play on too.
To see all the details on Rausch Creek be sure to visit their website located at: http://rc4x4.org/

Camping info
Just a few hints/reminders for those who have may not camped at Rausch Creek before.
The camping is "primitive".
The only "amenities" are a place to pitch your tent, a fire ring, picnic tables, porta-potties.
On site camping is included at no additional cost.

Be sure to bring...
- A comfy Chair to sit in around the fire
- Water for cooking, washing ,etc. There is no water available there.
If you want to shower I will be providing the hot shower facility. All you need to do is provide your own water for it.
Water containers can be refilled at the nearby truck stop.
- Trash bags to pack out and carry home your rubbish. There are no trash facilities on the property.
- Money for your RC "membership" and the daily entrance fee. See the Rausch Creek website above for details.

Parking is adjacent to the campsite so you will have easy access to your Jeep and tow rig

The schedule...
Wednesday Meet at the Charlton rest area on the Mass Pike at 10:00 AM
The drive 5.5-6 hour drive is ~320 miles which will put us at Rausch at approximately 4 PM
This will allow us time to set up camp, gather a heap of fire wood, cook a hearty dinner and have a well deserved beverage around the blazing campfire.

Some may need to drive down at another time due to work. We'll be there ready to give you a hand to get you quickly get setup at camp. :)

For those who prefer not to "rough it" there are several hotels in the area too.

Thursday After breakfast check in at the office, pay admission fee and head off into the wild for a great day of wheeling. Make our way back to our campsite around sunset, whip up some grub for dinner and enjoy an evening around the campfire.

Friday Re-run of Thursday. Another great day of wheeling from breakfast until dinner!

Saturday A third great day of wheeling from breakfast until dinner!

Sunday Have a leisurely breakfast, break camp, pack up and hit the road for the drive home.

Rausch Creek is a pay-to-play park. See the website for details regarding fees.

Non BSJ club member guest vehicles are allowed and encouraged!

So who's in? :)
Do it right the first time!

I'm now a maybe, something has come up with work and I would be away from home for 3 straight weeks if I go. Beth is telling me to go, but it isn't fair to her if I do. TBD late next week, depending on how the trip I'm leaving for on Monday goes.

If we don’t get more people signed up by end of day Friday, I’m going to cancel myself and just wait til spring. If that’s the case, I may look into Old Florida Road that we have going on that Saturday.
