ZUKIWORLD 'The Fall Classic' / Re: 2024 What should we do?

Yah, that areas looks to be on-fire at the moment. Maybe we will be exploring newly burn forest and freshly cut fire lines.
I enjoy that base camp and the usual stuff, mostly for the same reasons as Matt. It is easy, a nice camp, and tradition at this point. At the same time, I really enjoyed the early days when we adventured around and set up somewhere different each day. It forces you to have better camping agility.

Has anyone checked the fire maps lately? It's starting to look like camp may be a little crispy.

I lean that way too, Matt.. I think we can hybrid this though meaning stay at camp Morningwood but then actually try a new POI or two. I've got a couple ideas, the issue is that if I don't get a chance to pre-run they could be a bit of a bust BUT it would be adventure.  We could chase snow too... IDK. Let's get this conversation rolling...

For the Fall Classic... Should we change base camp? ... wagon train adventure with multiple camp site?

the possibilities are endless...

Thoughts?

Here is my $.02 on this:  I think the Fall Classic is more of a tradition than anything else...and if we change too much of the tradition, then we lose some of the appeal.  Yes, most of us have seen hole in the ground, fort rock, crack in the ground, plane crashes, pine mountain, (and many other things) several times...but each year there are some new folks who get to see that stuff for the first time and it is kind of fun to share it with them.  Camp morning wood is "our" campground that we visit each year.  I love exploring new places, but it sort of "feels" wrong to move the fall classic!

I have not had a 'group' drive with the Sammy in years. Usually what happens is, I am outside of Phoenix somewhere on a trail or small town, and run into two or three others, and we have lunch together, and then drive away... LOL. I do join up with other trail rides though, and occasionally there is one or two Samurai's... my LR group seems more active, but lots of times I take the Sammy instead of my LR2. Depends where we are going... if sand is too deep, my 2wd Sammy can't handle it, but it does most everything else. My old '87 tin top went anywhere... but, I am continually surprised by what just 2wd can do in these little buggys.

I've only been driving a Samurai for about 3 years, but everywhere I take it, I get thumbs up and a story about having one in the '80s, and wishing they still had it, a story about a friend that had one, or that they always wanted one... Does that make it a classic?... In some states it qualifies as a antique.... What ever it is, I love driving it...

Don't some of these forums have a minimum post requirement to do a PM?
