Hello all, I ride at the badlands about every other weekend (live in Fishers Indiana), got my Joyner 650 (not much stock on it) my SRS250, and my littler girls Blade 70. It is 700 achers+ with 4X4 trailes, mud, gravel, sand, and over all a fun place. Was wondering if anyone want to get something together this summer, last year we tried this, but everyone bailed out, but me.

Thanks, DAG

I'm up for it! It would have to be in August sometime. I am tied up till then. Is there camping there? That Joyner is a bad lookin ride! Nice color on the Blade 70. Love the yellow!

Yep, there is camping at the front to the badlands, you can drive your buggy right up to the front gate from the camp grounds, they have a rule NO BUGGIES, but that means sand rails and VW buggies, just say you have a cart and they are fine. And August is the best for me as I am booked until then.

The Joyner is a great ride, I put the FastFreddy weber carb mod on it, re-welded the rear shock mounts to raise it 2 more inches, and installed the panels to keep the mud out of the front.

Thanks, DGA

Are you going to have your camper fixed by then John?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Haha! Camper's already fixed.

Dag....why weren't you at St. Joe's?

It happen to be the week that I and the family goes to FL and stay in our timeshare each year.

It really stank that I could go, but I did have a blast with the family and the gulf water, it was 88 degrees, felt like bath water, almost to warm.

DAG

Blister, what happened to your camper??? Also where have you been going to drive your buggy in Indiana???

Thanks, DAG

I neglected to lock the tongue down when I left St. Joe's. First hill I came over, the camper came unhitched and smashed into my tailgate. I busted the plastic housing around the propane tank and tore a hole in the abs on the roof.

Ummmmm....I haven't been driving my buggy in Indiana. My buggy hadn't been running for a year before St. Joe's. When i do run it, it is mostly around my yard and on the streets around here.

Good thing the trailer didn't cause more damage.

The BadLands is about 1.5 hour drive for the family and it is a big place. We should get together and I will show you where so of the cool spots are there.

I have attched a few pics from last year when I was there, will be there all day this Friday.

Looks pretty cool! My son would love riding through that tube.

I'd be up for it, been wanting to get back there for some time now, just hard to find time. Set a date and we'll plan on being there.

I know me and Lonerider would go, maybe get Goose 67
to go too.

hmmmm...yeah, yeah, what eggy said......yeah......

See if Joe can go toooo....

Looks good to me too!!!Pick a date. Do we need reservations?
What are the amenities?

Might even go myself Not sure what my schedule looks like.....but if it's open for whatever date you guys set....'ol Tennessee boy just might show up. That looks like a pretty cool place to ride. My daughter's dad would like to ride through the piep also!!!

DAG

I am interested. PM'd John a while back and said maybe we could get together. Got my Fast Freddies on last Fall. Could come down with 2-3 karts. Pick a date and hope I can make it.
I have a RV. Can that get in the camping area OK?
Thanks and hope this works out.

How about the weekend of the 8th, or 15th, or either of the Saturday's or Sunday's those weekends. Go the the Badlands website, there is a camp ground at the front, and food on site.

The Website has most the info:
