White Knight,
All Texas K5er's are invited to the "Slab". The slab is a huge formation of large areas of Granite that the Llano river runs through. Beautiful scenery and good terrain for off roading.
It's in Kingsland Texas.
Here is the Url http://128.83.80.200/taco/otherslab.html
You are more than welcome along with any other that would like to join us.
This way we can plan well in advance, do any mod's to our trucks etc.
We K5'ers in the Austin area would like to organize a club that would make frequent trips to other areas to plan off roading trips.
Please forward us your email.. so we can possibly put together a "mailing list" if you will to inform others of upcoming planned runs.
Oh.. and the "Slab" is completely Free !!! and legal.
Check out the url.. and check our sites since we'll be adding pics from our trip this past weekend.

ALRIGHT! We are thinking of maybe camping out that night. anyone else up for it? It maybe a lil cold, but if get a camp fire going and put some tents up shouldn't be too bad. We have an area in mind, just have to check out and make sure its ok with the owners... It will be a free spot.

http://www.rockosangel.coloradok5.com

Ok, we are set to have a pretty big camping spot right on the lake... Should be plenty of room for everyone that wants to stay. If you want to bring a camper instead of tents, no problem there either... Ok who's in?

http://www.rockosangel.coloradok5.com

Lake? What lake? I thought y'all were talking about camping at the Slab somewhere...

[b] you guys really need to get a sunday run together.

<A target="_blank" HREF=http://dblazer.coloradok5.com>http://dblazer.coloradok5.com</A>

We had considered going Sunday the 28th, but the Superbowl is happening that day.
If I remember correctly, the last 2 times we went were both Sundays.

If we plan another run on a Sunday, will you be able to make it? How about we plan on a Sunday Run mid February?

Thomas.

Yep Stoop your right... Superbowl is that Sunday, so therefore Saturday is the good day that weekend... but the other two times have been on Sunday... I'm up for a run in Feb, but it will have to be early Feb.. or Early March...I'm sure we will be discussing the next run soon.

[b] HMMM, the last few times I was in contact with yall I was under the impression that yall were wheeling on saterdays. As far as Feb. That may work, right now I am in the proscess of trying to buy a new tow vehicle so that my trips will be easier and funner and more often so I will stay in touch cause I REALLY want to check out the slabs.

Cool, just say when your ready to go ...you can usually talk us into going without too much arm twisting.

<A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.rockosangel.coloradok5.com>http://www.rockosangel.coloradok5.com</A>

Hey Dblazer.. We would really like to see you join us in the near future.. along with others from around the state.
So far.. we have always gone on Sunday.. One day we went on Saturday.. but Cheri and I were alone.. just to check out the water level of the river..
So I guess we could arrange another run in Feb.. as long as it's before the 17th.. damn Military Training... gots to do my two weeks annual training then...
See ya all later... if your interested.. please email me and we'll make arrangements.

Hey There,

Just got through looking at the pictures of the Slab. Man, that place looks like fun. Maybe I could make a trip down there sometime. How far are you from Missouri? Hope you all have fun.

Hey Neil... I'm sure it's about a 10 hour drive.. You could make a trip out here.. and stay at my place.. I have a spare room..
I'd like for you to join us... And hope to meet ya in person someday... You'd have a blast with us.

Rocko,
There is about 5 or 6 of us from the club I'm in (Midnight Four Wheelers) that are planning a trip that same day. We're planning on leaving San Antonio around 6:30a.m. Saturday. Is there a time that you're planning to be at the river by, because we would like to know?

MY K-5 DOESN'T LEAK... IT JUST MARKS ITS TERRITORY.

We want to start as early as possible.. We aren't an organized club (yet) we'd like to be hopefully in the near future. Maybe we could meet up and discuss how you guys arranged your club. And do some wheeling.
We plan on camping out the night before and meeting people around 9:00 am !! Sound good ?
Should be around 12 or so Blazers going out that day.. and maybe more.
Look forward to talking with you more.. email me for any other questions.. ctrock98@Hotmail.com

(updated) <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.rocko.coloradok5.com>http://www.rocko.coloradok5.com</A>

9:00 sounds good. That's around the time we're planning to get there. Seems that we have about 9 vehicles going, 5 blazers, 3 Jeeps, and 1Ford pick up.

MY K-5 DOESN'T LEAK... IT JUST MARKS ITS TERRITORY.

Ok, time is closing in on us. Looks like a pretty good turn out. Who's camping over the weekend? We have plenty of room, just trying to gage the space needed. Anyone need directions to where we are camping at? SLAB? Let me know. I will get it to you asap.

<A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.rockosangel.coloradok5.com>http://www.rockosangel.coloradok5.com</A>

Yea ....... where is this place you call the "SLAB" anyhow? http://www.coloradok5.com/forums/images/icons/wink.gif .... hehehe

It looks like I'll be cutting it pretty close with all the suspension work I will be doing the week before, but it should be up and running come the 27th.

Probably be stuck in 2WD due to mismatched gear ratios, but I'll be there anyway!

I probably won't be camping out, but I will most likely hang out after the sun goes down. It's only an hour from my house anyway ...........

Heck, if this weather keeps up, you wont see me camping either. But it is susposed to clear up right?

<A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.rockosangel.coloradok5.com>http://www.rockosangel.coloradok5.com</A>

Are yall camping on the river or someplace else? Some of us will be camping on the river if weather permits. Also want to know how far have you been up river? We've been as far as what the locals call "Eagle Rock" and don't know if you can go further.

MY K-5 DOESN'T LEAK... IT JUST MARKS ITS TERRITORY.

We're camping on a piece of land about 5 minutes from the Slab. On lake Buchanan. Cheri's paren't own the property and it's pretty roomy.
We haven't made it to far at the Slab.. So you could show us the route you take.. I'm sure we missed alot each time we were there. Sound good?

(updated) <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.rocko.coloradok5.com>http://www.rocko.coloradok5.com</A>

Sounds great,
I've been there twice, once as a ride along the other in my wife's Jeep, so it's all still new ground for me. I'm sure it'll be a great adventure for all of us. All we have to do is watch for posted signs so we won't be on anyone's property.

MY K-5 DOESN'T LEAK... IT JUST MARKS ITS TERRITORY.

For those of us that arent goin maybe you could take some pics and make a little trail report?

<A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.rockosangel.coloradok5.com>http://www.rockosangel.coloradok5.com</A>

I finally got a digital camera too, so count in another 40 or so pics http://www.coloradok5.com/forums/images/icons/smile.gif

As far as when in Feb, we'll discuss it on Sat and thenl post whatever we come up with.

Truck is coming along, I'm gonna be cutting it real close to Sat, but should be ready.

Man Stoop, looks good, too bad I couldn't see it in person, but I don't wanna spread my cold around. Hopefully I will be better by Saturday, cuz I am going anyways! Get it finished quick! See you this weekend.
P.S. Anyone that is planning on camping, I think our plans are gonna change on that, we may be driving back that night too, but we can play it by ear.

<A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.rockosangel.coloradok5.com>http://www.rockosangel.coloradok5.com</A>

Damn, I get a all worked up for a month-and-a-half about the slab and today my fuel pump craps out on me!! Maybe next time.

Murphy's Law :
"When you don't know what your doing, do it neatly."

If your scared.. say your scared... Fuel pump takes maybe 10 minutes to change.. :) lol
No problem though.. I'm going up with a crapped out carb.. maybe I'll kill it up there.. then I'll have to buy a new one.

Hey where is the slab? How would you rate it between a 1-5 (1 being easy 5 being extreme). Just wondering because I would like to possibly get a couple of my fourwheel'n buddy's togather and head that way with you guys in a couple of months or so. I think its great to get so many people togather at one time, plus I'm getting way bored with the offroading up here. Its just not a challenge anymore.


<font color=blue>Professional <font color=red>JEEP EATER</font color=red>, it's a population control thing.</font color=blue>

4GUNZ4x4Z, The "slab" is right outside of Kingsland, TX About an hour NE of Austin. You can make it as extreme as you want. There are easy trails and then there are the "you've got to be insane", like Stoop to try. LOL Just kidding Stoop. There was a big write up in 4 wheel parts wholesalers mag for Jan. Check it out if you get a chance. The more Blazers, the better.
Hope to see you sometime.
