This is the first offroad park I had ever been too...after doing north ga service trails and things like that.  Man, did I have a blast!!

This is a great park to get your feet wet if you are newer to the sport.

Yes, fun park , been twice in my ruck, ready to take the Jeep.

Fuel pump went out right there!
Heartbreaker was the trail I think.
That was fun getting it out( thanks Chris).
I’ve  taken that truck where a longbed shouldn’t go.

Ha! No that tire wasn’t mine, but I did spin one off the rim at Morris, my first time ever at a park.  Aired down to 7psi!
