thanks. I will attend. with my job I have to plan for things. are we camping or just the day? been looking for better mud tires for my 07 450 wolverine, any suggestions where to go? was going to put a pic of my atv but can not figure it out. any help would be appreciated. I belong to Belleville Endero Team in Belleville but took the summer off to play more and work on my house. it is 110 acres for members only when no races are scheduled. I have been riding for years but not major hills or mud like I have seen in some of your vids. looking to meet new people and have some new adventures. thanks again, Don

calikid79 · Senior Member

It's up to you how long or what days you want to go. I plan on going fri-Sunday. Look forward on seeing ya down there.

As for tires what size are they? I have seen some good sets on Craigslist for around 200. I know a few members have parts laying around also so if you Post a thread on it they may be able to hook ya up.

Rickie Bobbie · Veteran Member

I would go for the weekend. I can either do an electric site or regular. enclosed is a couple pics. looking forward to meeting up and riding.

rlilprncs21 · Veteran Member

My husband and I are new to this group but we love riding at LeerJack. We are coming opening weekend and are always looking for places to ride. We have an Odes dominator 800 and getting our kids the 150 model.

Date: Mar 24, 2013

I talked to a person from Leerjack and they said NO dirtbikes! Whats up with that?

rlilprncs21 · Veteran Member

I think they only do them on certain weekends. I know they had a weekend a few years back where you could bring you dirt bike or atv.

Date: Mar 25, 2013

Yeah I checked out that place on the internet a while back and they are strickly an ATV place. It's okay, they need those places too. I will be at ST. Joe's on my KTM 450 XC-W riping up the trails! :) You are welcome to come along. I any weekend the weather looks to be clear.

Date: Mar 26, 2013

Heck yeah! St. Joe ! Grilled brats and a cold brew is way overdue for me. I love rippin the trails a new groove or 2.

Nice video! that bike looks like a rocket on wheels! great quality of video, my video looks like that on my pc, but as soon as I upload to youtube it looks like crap. Live to Ride, Ride to Live ! evileye

BobA396 · Senior Member

I think you'll like it if you haven't been there. Especially on that bike!

pctechwork · Member

Never beent there and thanks for responding biggrin

calikid79 · Senior Member

Be careful not to miss the entrance. They might not have a sign up. Also follow the road to the right at bottom Of the hill. Looks like a creek but it is the road. We have videos of moonlight in here somewhere. Not a huge place but alot of fun. We covered the trails in about 4 hours. Also watch out for the angry chinaman trails.

BobA396 · Senior Member

Angry Chinaman huh Tim? That's funny. He's right, pay close attention for the road, hopefully they put up a new sign seeing as how they're on FB now. Good luck and have fun!

Rickie Bobbie · Veteran Member

LeerJack ride. who all are going? calikid79 do you reserve a camp spot or you just show up? also I saw no adult beverages. is this enforced?

calikid79 · Senior Member

I am planning on camping. I have never been I guess I need to reserve a spot. I was told they do not allow drinking. But what they don't know won't hurt em.

Rickie Bobbie · Veteran Member

I make a good Apple Pie sipping drink. can put it in a QT cup with lid. let me know after you reserve a spot and I will get one as close as I can. I think rlilprncs21 said they would be there. I took vacation so can be there early if it is first come on spots. do you do electric or primitive? I can get a 5400 generator if needed.

calikid79 · Senior Member

I will try to get one next week do you want me to reserve one for you too? I think I am going to go with electric but have a 5500w gen so don't have to have it. Rililp did you reserve a spot. I can reserve them close to ya. I am always up for a little apple pie by the campfire.

Rickie Bobbie · Veteran Member

electric is ok. yea go ahead and if they need money I can take care of it when I hear from you. I am coming from Belleville.

Date: Mar 29, 2013

We have reserved our spot already. When you call them just tell them you want to be by Rachel and Dave. We have an electric site for our popup. You can primitive camp and you don't need reservations for that you just put you tent anywhere. They say no drinking but I know people who still do they just don't drink and ride or get too drunk. The owners are super nice and you will love the apple turnovers that the grandma still cooks in the store. They said to bring cash this year since they will charge a small fee for using a credit card at the store. We are going down on Friday in the afternoon. It is about a 2 1/2 hour drive for us and we are planning on leaving about 1. With two toddlers in tow that could me possibly as late as 2. We will be in a white Ford F250 and our camp site is one's out in the field. We can't wait it is a great place to ride and the owners try to put on a lot of activities to keep it fun.

rlilprncs21 · Veteran Member

Sorry the post above was from me. I forgot to log in.

Date: Mar 29, 2013

Pctechwork here. Man that sounds good. Unfortunately they don't allow dirt bikes :(. I can't taste that pie

T3beatz · Senior Member

Man this sounds great, I would love to make it out for a ride. Haven't been riding all year, and I'm getting cabin fever.

Rickie Bobbie · Veteran Member

calikid79-I called angot the machine. told them 2 in electric next to Rachel and Dave. gave my name and number. told them to call me back. rlilprncs21 where you coming from? I was going to leave early Friday morning. you guys like Deviled Eggs? they have bbq grills? will bring some grill food. finishing putting a new bed in my toy hauler and work on the 4wheeler this weekend. I have a kdx 200 if anyone is interested...my name is Don

rlilprncs21 · Veteran Member

We are coming from Foley Missouri. It is out by Troy. My hubby is getting off work and noon and we will head out with the kiddos once he gets home. They don't have any grills. We just typically bring a charcoal one. Thanks for the offer for eggs we typically eat what I call toddler food, hot dogs, mac and cheese, chips you know the essentials! We have some other friends who are also going down. You guys will really like it. We are bringing our 4 seater and my husband's BMS powerbuggy. The kids just got a new Odes Blade kids utv, it is like a rzr 170 just cheaper. I am not sure if we are brining that yet, our son is the driver and not sure if we want him driving by all the people since he is just learning.

T3beatz · Senior Member

I'm gonna see what I can do, maybe I can get loose for a couple days, I think I need to get the buggy out on the trails again. I need to do a little work on it, but I have a month to get it done.

calikid79 · Senior Member

Hope to see ya T. If you need any camping gear I have a spare tent and other things. You going to bring the fam or just yourself? I think Keith from virbarium is going too.

calikid79 · Senior Member

Hey thanks don. If they get back to Ya tell me what I owe and I will give ya some loot. I will be bringing 3 atvs and a kids Atv. Now off to work on the toy hauler.

Rickie Bobbie · Veteran Member

about done on the bed. just got tired of the little uncomfortable couches. I will bring Brats, Eggs and camp fire sipping stuff. off Thursday so will be down there early Friday. think I just traded one of my motorcycles for 4 new needed atv tires and cash. next project is to build a rack for the back of my atv. Happy Bunny day.

rlilprncs21 · Veteran Member

We are brining our kids 5 and 2 1/2 they love it at Leerjak. Can't wait to meet everyone!

Date: Mar 30, 2013

I was at Moonlight about a month ago and the sign

was on a tree. It is about 5 miles down Highway from 185.

I was pretty muddy then too.

I have camping gear, so that's no problem, My brother and I have camped at St. Joe during the buggy bash. If I do come It will be just us and probably no family. My girl is not much of an outdoorsy person, and my bros wife is prego so I doubt she would come.

Famousamos85 · Veteran Member

I know I'm new here, but I think I'm definitely going to try an make it! Haven't had much of a chance to get my new wildcat out yet, leerjack looks like a perfect place for it!

Rickie Bobbie · Veteran Member

ok, called and got spots reserved next to you rlilprncs21. 20 a day camp, 20 a day to ride, they open at 4pm Friday and check out is 10am on Sunday. one less day of vacation I need to take. look forward to meeting everyone.
Don

rlilprncs21 · Veteran Member

Sounds good they do allow early check in on Friday if you call and arrange it ahead of time. Also I think If you check out before 10 on Sunday you do not have to pay for riding on Sunday.

calikid79 · Senior Member

I should be there late fri night 8pm or so. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Should be a great weekend.

calikid79 · Senior Member

So is everyone still on for leerjack?

Rickie Bobbie · Veteran Member

I will probably only come down for Saturday. all the rain we had made my basement an indoor swimming pool. with overtime this weekend and during the week I can not finish the camper. also never loan your power tools (that you need) to a friend that goes on vacation after he borrows them. my 4wheeler has a bad cough. new plug, drained the old gas and put new in. just picked up some fuel system cleaner and will terrorize the nieghborhood later tomorrow. any other suggestions for this? will see you next Saturday.

calikid79 · Senior Member

Ck exhaust, and air filter. Stuff loves to move in them during the winter. I run sea foam in the fuel if I think it is carb or pull it off and quick clean with carb cleaner.

Rickie Bobbie · Veteran Member

I will. I still have Thursday and Friday off so I can work on it. will be there to meet up.

rlilprncs21 · Veteran Member

We are ready to ride. BriNg on the nice weather. Thanks to my hubby for getting everything loaded and ready to go.

Rickie Bobbie · Veteran Member

looks good. I am finishing up the camper right now. will anyone eat deviled eggs if I make them? am making some for myself so it nothing to add more. anyone else going?

Rickie Bobbie · Veteran Member

rlilprncs21 · Veteran Member

Looks good! We will see you this weekend. We are so ready to get out of the house and do some camping and riding. See you guys soon.

T3beatz · Senior Member
