It's only open to those who know the password...... it's a secret location and is closed for an indefinite amount of time and really does not exist. :fawkdancesmiley:

J/K

It's a newish area we have been working on for the last year or so. It was called the "skill building area" but is no longer called that due to legal liability issues. Not exactly sure what it is going to be called but it has to do with all the clubs and volunteers that helped build it. And yes it is where that rock is.

It's on Upper Mainline between BR-46 and BR-4602 I believe. Zukkev can correct me if I am wrong.

The access to it was nothing more than a logging road. It has since been modified. The lower section has come pretty gnarly stuff to the right side of the trail, big holes, tank trap type stuff and rocks. Once you get to the area where the rock is there are a few little spur trails of different degrees of diffuculty. Buggies and extreme rigs would find the rock (v-crack) area the only challanging area. IMHO

I saw a sign board off one of the upper roads that was blank except the inscript that it was put up by the Tamers. Is it in that area?

Yup that is it. The trail kind of veers off to the right. And actually the Tamers put signs on each end of the trail.

I have a map I just printed from DNR's site a couple days ago and it's dated 2006. I noticed the map at the parking area had a date of 2007. I found a few trails that didn't look like they were on either map today, How often does DNR update maps? Is this something the clubs do for them or is it internal? Just curious....

told me you tried to flop it again!!! (don't try to get out of it---I saw pics!!!:haha

And I hear you need me to keep an eye out for another axle!!!:stirpot:

unclestripey · Nov 9, 2009

I'm workin on finding some Yota's,:corn: I'm 0 fer 3 last few times out.

Hoping to fix the problem rather then the axle this time. Jim said I could probly get you to pay my club membership just because of the high likelihood that you wouldn't have to sport that sticker much longer.:fawkdancesmiley

yin' to see the rest of the pics!

Actually he needs a longer front drive shaft. His came apart when the front went airborne.

My computer is at work so as soon as I go get it I will put pictures on. What a fun weekend! 4 broken axles, a broken hub and a roll over, another RRR Halloweeen Run under our belt! Thanks to everyone that showed!

When we got Craig's Trooper back to my garage, we could see that it wasn't water pump that was leaking, but we couldn't really identify where it was leaking. There was a suspicious darkness around the lower hose, but nothing definite. The other confusing thing was that overflow tank stayed full, even though the rest of the system was low nearly a gallon.

We changed the thermostat even though it tested as opening at the right temperature. We did determine that the top hose was dry as was the manifold right below the thermostat, so it was sitting in air, not fluid, which would account for it not opening.

We did need to add almost a gallon of fluid.

I talked to him a few minutes ago and he had an uneventful drive back to Moscow.
