I figured since the other thread started out as talking about making a club, and what clubs are available, we should have a thread that's just dedicated to setting up trail runs.
The title says it all, and it'll be less cluttered.
So, the 9/18/10 Run to Potato Ridge was a success!
Next item on the schedule is Logandale on 10/23/10 according to McRoberts. Seems like we have a few interested parties! Who all is planning to attend?
If there is anything in the meantime, or someone local wants another rig to ride with them, just post up and see if anyone is available!
Not racist if it's facts. Besides pick your racial slur, and realize there is a difference between said racial slur and whites, Mexicans, blacks, Asians. I never find racial jokes offensive, because they are just that, jokes. I do however find it offensive if someone uses said slurs to generalize a group of people only on color or nationality, and they aren't joking. I'm from Kentucky, so when I hear redneck jokes, white trash jokes, I laugh, but when people say everyone from KY iS inbred or whatever, that gets me. Theres a difference.
I need a couple things. Point me in the right direction:
I'm looking for a small MOLLE or tactical vest for my wife. She doesn't like wearing a backpack when we're climbing, so she wants a vest to hold all the essentials. The local military surplus stores have a terrible selection and their prices are insane. She did try on a few tactical vests locally and all were too big. She's strong, but thin. I tried Google, but most of the sites, even law enforcement sites, catered mostly to mens sizes. Anyone have any good websites for stuff like that?
Second thing I'm wanting. Good barbecue. I'm from the deep south, so don't suggest Famous Daves, Memphis Best or Lucille's. I'm looking for something authentic. Dickey's in front of the Outlet Mall is ok, but the seasoning is bland.
I'm not a BBQ connoisseur so laugh at me all you want but I like the BBQ at Ellis Island. The fact there's actually a dude outside working the grill when you walk in and the prices can't be beat. Granted the menu choice is limited... You want ribs or you want chicken? LOL
I'm curious to see what you get for answers on the BBQ. No clue on the vest though! Maybe weird but what are you looking to carry? Would like a fishing vest that you can attach stuff too possibly work for a cheaper price?
I've heard the food at Ellis Island isn't too bad, but I try to avoid the Strip and anything close to it if I can. Not really a convenient place for dinner. One of the best BBQ places I've visited was in Georgia and all they served was pork, so by comparison, ribs and chicken is a huge menu.
My wife and I are always climbing or underground in mines. Here's what she typically carries in her pack:
Two bottles of water
6 caribiners
6 quickdraws (also for climbing)
Runner anchors (also for climbing)
150 feet of rope
Sig Sauer
Phone
Primary flashlight
2 backup flashlights
I know there's more she carries, but that's all that comes to mind. What she wants is something she can just stuff all of that into, but it has to fit snug. Something moving around that can get caught in climbing ropes can kill you. The rope can be wound and strapped to the lower back of the vest when not in use. I even thought of buying her a tactical vest and just having it altered professionally, but the alteration quotes I got were higher than the cost of the vest.

Good luck on finding the BBQ, I came from NC and there ain't nothing in this town I've seen that compares to there. Let me know if you find something that compares to that Georgia place.
Then you know my problem. I think what is happening here is restaurants in Vegas spend too much time with presentation. BBQ isn't supposed to be pretty. It's supposed to be messy, taste good and have huge portions.
I went to that last one. Didn't see anything there that would fit her. Looks like I might have to buy the smallest one I can find and just have it altered.
Yeah, I tried all of those sources. Finding a vest or MOLLE small enough for a tiny woman is difficult. The sizes seem to go; one size fits all, M/L, XL/XXL. Even with the medium vests adjusted all the way in, they're still too large and move around. I can't even find any small vests with the exception of paintball vests, but I want better quality.
I think if I can find a quality small vest, I would still have to get it altered, but the end result would be better than if I were to alter a M/L.
Sooo funny. My wife is Asian i am white I love going into the backcountry around Colorado City in Az just to watch the expressions on all the old school mormons. Great times. Lol
I'm Asian. Parents are from the Philippines. I was born here in the US and raised anywhere with a Navy base. I've posted pictures of my wife. She's a hot white chick. She was raised Mormon in a small Florida town.
The first time I went to visit her in her town, there was a parade for the new Walmart. Not joking at all there. They actually had a parade for Walmart. That should give you an idea how small a town this was. It gets worse. They stopped traffic for this parade and I was the first car stopped in line.
Passing by on a float were at least a dozen staring rednecks on a float sponsored by the KBS which is a militia faction of the KKK. KBS is Klan Brothers of the South. I learned later her parents were associates of that militia. Not members, but associates. Remember the Oklahoma City bombing? Her parents were actually questioned in relation to that attack.
So, as you can imagine, I wasn't very popular with her family. Actually, they pretended to love me when I was doing much better financially. It was only after I stopped giving them money that their hatred of me surfaced. I don't have an issue with people hating me. I'll admit, I wasn't always a good person, so there are probably a few people out there that would want to do me harm. My point is, if you're going to hate me, there is probably a good reason. Don't hate me because I'm not as white as you. Get to know me and you'll realize I'm probably whiter than you.
Sadly, my wife hasn't talked to her parents in many years. Odd, but I've continued to encourage her to maintain contact with them. I'm the source of their tension. I don't have to be there. As dysfunctional as they are, they are her family.
My parents filled that gap in her life. They absolutely love her. My wife has taken to them just as well and especially loves the food which is saying a lot. Seriously, Filipino's eat some crazy shyt.
