DAMMIT YALL.........Marks Wall looks FUN

Marks wall is damn near vertical, we gave it a try with 2 fairly built buggies (not my 4runner), neither got halfway

Jon the owner has said that if someone makes it up Marc's Wall and wants it harder that he will add a few more huge boulders to the top on saturday!

On google maps, type in The Great American Park, Pin Oaks Road, Auburn, AL




Please note though that the entrance is no longer on Pin Oaks Rd.

If you zoom in on the map, the entrance is going to be right where Quiet Rd. intersects Hwy 29.

Hotels near the park-within 5 miles and all right off the interstate-Exit 51, I-85:

Sleep Inn and Suites
Quality Inn
Hampton Inn
Microtel Inn and suites

Link I posted above for the hotels is a little hard to read, you need to zoom in.
