I like what im seeing! looks sweet!
Thanks we had a couple logs move around on us. N some of those small tire guys stacked some pieces of wood in between a couple of the logs to get out. Other than that it seems to be holding up to the abuse. It even stopped my buggy for a moment. And thank you again to Anthony for helping us with running the tracktor for a day:awesomework:

yea I had to stack some wood but it was fun and I had to beat the **** out of my truck with small tires:awesomework:
Thats ok id rather have people stack small wood chunks under thier tires than move the big logs. Easyer on us to maintain. Has anyone made it untouched. Without rocking it or jacking it up/winching.?

I made it one way then then turned around and hit 2 times and bolth times got stuck so I got out of the way so others could try
Up hill is definately harder. We watched a toyota on 37s lock f&r get stuck between the thrid N forth log and smoke his clutch. :awesomework:
I made it across and back clean. The third time I tried going diagonal across and fell onto the diffs. Had to winch then.
The log run is fun. It needs to be made longer. I thought maybe we could bundle three logs together in triangular fashion with cable and set them in there.
Let me know if WTF go up there to improve it further and want help. :awesomework:

We plan on making it a lot longer. That's just what we could get done in one day.
Looks great. The hardest part for sure is keeping the logs still.
Here's an idea.
I have an 8" one man auger for digging post holes... You could bend some rebar around the end of each log. Dig a hole about 12" deep. 8" wide beside each log. Put the U-bolt shaped rebar around the log, down into the holes then fill each hole with concrete, securing the rebar into the concrete and making a good anchor. Combine that with what you've already done and I think you've got a good, solid, system in place. You don't need water to mix with the conrete out there, just fill the hole with quikrete and let mother nature due the rest. If you have water, it's nice... but not critical.

It turned out really good:awesomework: I was riding with Chop and about **** when he turned around in the middle of the logs. They seem to stay in place nicely with the short rounds as spacers. I don't think concrete is needed. Only time will tell. Might need to figure a way to lag bolt the logs to the spacers if they start to move.
Nice work WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:beer:

Its definitely a good addition to Elbe, All the new play areas are what we need at all our parks.
But we cant use any concrete or other "man made" products. It needs to all natural.
The concrete is hidden only as a anchor, underground. If it's necessary, I think we could get that to fly, just like putting in man-made winch points. It's man made obstacles using material like shot crete that we can't get into.
