P I feel you on the burning out. That is why I only wheel one day per ride weekend at Gray Rock. I don't know how you fawkers wheel all 3 days for every ride and still keep doing it.

Social appeal, not tryin to rush through all the good trails in one day like you always want to... :flipoff1:

It would be nice if they built some new trails out there... or branched some **** together so you could make a whole park tour out of several good trails... drool

**** I want to ride, not BS after every obstacle and drink beer while standing in the sun. Only breeze I get is when we are moving, fawk standing around. Our Clayton trip was badass, cause we never stopped moving for very long!

I wheeled like a mad man the past few years. David, Pat, Louis and myself wheeled for about a year or two more than anyone I know. We spent a ton of time at Grayrock and Hot Springs. I totally got burned out on Grayrock due to the lack of new trails and the dust. Not to mention the crowds there as well. Hot Springs is great because most any weekend you go you pretty much have it to yourself. A big weekend up there consist of 125 or so rigs, but you still will not encounter trail traffic due to the large number and length of trails. Then we hit Clayton and wheeling went on a new level for me. The town is very quiet, basically zero trail traffic, no large obnoxious crowds, no dust and always a new trail or trails that can be cut. Wheeling for us has always been about traveling at least 4 hours, it just kills me how you guys complain about traveling over an hour to wheel or the amount of people that only wheel Grayrock. I think you all hit it on the head that for a lot of them it is about the social gathering and not the actual wheeling.

MMORV is 8 hrs away from us but it seems worth it to us. We usually leave early friday morning and make it to our dest. around 2 pm friday, wheel that day, wheel sat, wheel sun, and then drive home mon morning. i would love to know if there are any decent places closer to me though (between MMORV and New Orleans).

Well this thread has gotten totally sidetracked laughing1

I first started wheeling rocks when I was in New Orleans. I went to Tellico a couple of times until I discovered Clayton. Clayton is about the same distance as MMORV, maybe a couple hours more...I think I remember 10 hrs.

NO-BR-LF-SHR-Mt Pleasant-Paris-Clayton...check it out. Have you hooked up with the LA 4x4 guys? Some of them come to Clayton. The Coonasses from Lafayette wheel a lot. I ran into them in Clayton last month. Beefy...Piggy.....funny ass guys.

A little humor, I was be sarcastic about how this thread went from gun drilled axles to where we like to wheel. If you typed it you would understand.

As long as you stay off those gravel trails that Nolen rides you will not murder your tires every trip out

Have you watched your non-driving ass on Cable Hill today? That is tire murder :drinkers:

For the record, Carls tires were basically new when we went to HS this past weekend. He did all of the high throttle climbs and really worked his tires good. I was watching them close and even though he got noticable wear on the rear tires after the weekend, it was way more acceptable than I thought it would be. It is worth it for the good wheeling IMO.

DeleriousII · Jun 13, 2008

wngrog...we have talked to LA 4x4 a few times...we keep hearing about some places close to BR but don't really know much about them...the only other somewhat local place is Sicily Island, but it is not that impressive

Dude I have done cable hill several times in my jeep and it did nothing near the damage that those steep ass gravel climbs did to my Maxxis out there. Of course a 4500lb jeep on those trails is different than a 3200lb buggy. I love all those technical rock garden type trails in Hot Springs. Fun place to wheel.

Yeah it is like pullin teeth to get anybody to travel to somewhere other than MMORV and Gray ROck to wheel. We have a ton of stuff in TN that is all less than 4 hours away, then there is the Florette land and Mountanside in Gadsden looks technical. I really enjoy wheeling new places, and would choose a couple hour drive over the same ole, same ole any day of the week. **** there are a lot of trails less than 2-3 hours from us that I still haven't been to.

I keep hearing about harlan and windrock and you guys seldom go there. gayness abounds I say. I blow my whole wad on 2 trips a year casue its what I can afford (or not.)

I live in the Bayou City. There is nothing to wheel around here but mud. So I have to haul to do anything. Lucky I dont mind hours and hours on the road to wheel, I just hate the fuel cost.

Katemcy 5.5 hours
Clayton is 7.5 hours
Hot Springs 7.5 hours
Gay Rock 11 hours
Badlands 16 hours

blacksheep10 · Jun 13, 2008

****, the badlands won't be bad then, I just teamed with rob on a 14 hour night day night thing. cabot going with you? wonder if there's any local strip clubs like wesleys we can meet up at?
