They have good trails at Penwood? Is there a trail map?

 

Where does everyone get their supplies for wiring?

 

I have only been on one there. When I was in better form (xx years ago ), it was the place I went for some technical, rocky, fun stuff.
Not sure if there is a map. I think it is pretty much just an end to end trail with an easy ride back to the lot. It may have changed now.

 

What kind of wiring?

 

I was going to ask the same question.

Darvex is a good place for wiring. They sell a bunch of primary, speaker, power or almost anything else you need.

edit: just noticed it said "foot travel only", will see if there are other maps.
It was never just hiking only when I was in there.

 

FYI - The map states the trails are for foot traffic only. Probably get a pretty good fine in DEEP catches you driving.

 

BTW, all fun's either been outlawed or heavily taxed in the blasted state...

 

Part of me will never forgive him for Super Bowl 46 though..

 

It looks challenging for sure but well reviewed and worthwhile. It’s on my list of places to check out this year.

Lemme know.... im game. About 45 minutes from me.

 

did the wheels on the HD today, 25 minutes riding, 2 hours cleaning polishing and waxing.
Thank god for Quicksand, you can’t tell when it’s dirty.

 

I put the grub killer on the lawn today minutes before the rain so it would soak in...and then the damn sun came out...I was like "WTF???" and then it finally started raining again an hour later...I also put down some grass seed. My lawn is a disaster...Dog, moles, grubs...

 

I have a mini grand canyon from my two dogs.... thinking astro turf for the section they always use

 

Wiring for a winch and for a few lights. Should have clarified!

 

Started doing a grub killer last year, apparently we do it for two years in a row and it lasts for like 8 years or something. Pretty much ours transfers some type of microbe that eats the shit out of them as soon as it finds it or something, totally organic. Not cheap though. Going to brush the stone of the sides of the lawn this week when it dries out a little and hopefully re-seed next week or third week of april at the latest. I'm getting excited for Spring could barely sleep last night thinking of all the things I need to do this week to the lawn.

 

Yup the power wire and primary wire at that site will work great for those things.
You can also check out Amazon for those. A lot of people will use welding wire to make longer leads for a winch but just remember that it probably will not be as flexible as power wire.

P.S. Make sure to get something that is 100% copper for the winch. A lot of companies will sell copper plated aluminum for less $ but it's a lot less efficient. The wire needs to be almost twice the diameter to flow the same amount of current

 

Well, its Monday....

I dont suppose anyone here knows where I can get access to, or a deal on some pump-jacks?

As soon as the house is dense packed, I need tp start scraping, or wrapping and hanging siding.... sick of this place looking like the damn house from the Adams Family.

 

What are you trying to do with the pump jacks? My dad bought a couple short, high capacity pump jacks to help level his house and we used them on my house also. I think he bought them at Home Depot or Lowes, they were pretty reasonable.

 

Shit, I just sold all my pump jacks last year.
