Yeah, it was worth $20. If you can deal with the mud it is pretty fun. It has so much potential. Just add rocks!

x2. this place will definitely be awesome in a years time.

not sure what time the trails close tho...might should look into that.

Maybe around 4:30, looks like yall had some fun, I want to play on the rock hill, Is the rock hill and the small rock garden at the truck park area with the mounds of dirt in it (start of trail 2 I think) the only rocks yall found. Jimmy and I rode the rock garden a handfull of times.

We actually crawled rocks in 2 places.  The big area right beside the paved road, and another that had about 6 nice piles, and dirt mounds as well.

There are a few "canyons" we ran that would be incredible if he;ll just buy a few loads of large stones and dump um and spread um.

sounds like the only rocks we missed where the ones by the paved road. the other rocks you talked about is where I drug my trailer back to. I was glad that I did also because where I ripped the steering a part was just through the woods about 50 or 75 yards.

Loaded, and parked in a sandy creek bottom parking lot, and had no problems.

So much for my new Solid Diff cover.  Steering binding, so we decided to grind on it.  Went through it.  Factory rubi cover back on now.

I had just gone to bed Saturday night when the Gwinnett Police started banging on my front door. 
Mr Reynolds? 
Yes. 
Is this your license plate? 
Gee, I don’t know, where did it come from?
It was taken from a stolen trailer tonight in Barrow county.
Was it my trailer too?
I don’t know, but this tag is registered to a 2007 trailer, and the tag was on an old, rusty trailer.  Here is a case # in case you have an issue later.
So I had to drive over to see if my trailer was in fact stolen.  My trailer was where it’s supposed to be.  The tag nuts and bolts were neatly laid on the trailer, so I re-installed it, and headed back to the house. 

Strange stuff going on round here.

So you can steer more than 20 degrees now! {toast} You will need everybit of it! The trailer thing is weird. Barrow county does not suprise me though. ;)
I've grown tired of this.

You can't be too mad.. I mean, ultimately, they just borrowed your tag.  I'd say.. it seems like they had every intention of returning it 'cause they left the nuts and bolts in an easy to find area so they wouldn't lose them and could just slap it back on when they brought it back.  Shoot, they might've even left you a little something like a dollar...

But seriously, sucks about your diff cover.  Glad you can turn and sucks about the trailer tag thing.  But luckily, they didn't take the whole trailer and destroy it or something.

Well, not many posts from me for the last few days, going nuts getting truck, trailer, and Jeep ready for Moab, and a list of supplies that would shock you.  AND getting the Tahoe ready for Linda's/girls spring break to her Mom and Dad's in Tampa. 

So.....  5 hours til we start to load, and 7 to departure.

COME ON ADAM!    GET OUT OF THAT PUBLIX ON TIME!!

Bad news is we're going the long way through Amarillo/Albuquerque, as there is more snow in Denver/Vail Friday/Saturday, and some even in MOAB Saturday.  Ugh.

Looks like some sunshine Sun Mon Tues, and rain chances on Wed Thurs Fri.  BUMMER!

More to come!

Hope you girlies have fun.. take it easy on Adam... he's fragile.  ;D

You'd better go through Colorado on the way back if possible.  I've not been to many states but Colorado is definitely one of my favorites.  Gorgeous landscape.
