Might try and get out with y’all as well

 

Sounds good man, I prob won't know till middle next week what his schedule is. We don't have many real plans for the weekend, mostly just exploring

 

I'd go, but unfortunately I'm photographing a wedding that day. So I'm out.

I may have my bumper on by then, so I would have loved to make it out and test out some high clearance.

 

Bummer! At some point we need the run the trail from RRG this summer and do some trail cleanup, trimming and cut up that hunk of metal/whatever that put us in the mud pit. It was a decent track I would like to do again.

I wonder if a battery powered grinder would cut through it? I think we would only need to make 2-4 cuts and then be able to move it off the trail

 

It was a crane arm. I'm guessing it's pretty tough steel, which means it may take a fair amount of batteries and blades to make it through. I looked at the bank on each side of it and I don't think it's wide enough to get a truck through, even with the arm gone. I think I remember considering trying to winch it out of the way, but then looked at the bank.

It's been so dry recently maybe that mud pit is passable now!

That was a pretty good trail though.

 

I’m headed out wheeling this coming Saturday for a day trip to Tar Hollow State Park in Vinton County Ohio. Currently it’s myself and two friends in JK’s. We usually leave a little later and wheel until dark.

If interested in joining, I will set up a meeting point and timeline. Just PM me and let me know.

In laws coming in this weekend and Im doing some volunteer stuff. Keep track of where you find trails though and let me know, ive been meaning to go check out tar hollow. Im over that way multiple times a year but didnt even know they had trails til people started talking about it on here

 

That crane arm was there to stop you from trying to drive across an impassable spot. Theres no way you get a truck across that thing without rolling into the trench on one side or the mudpit on the other.

That hole is the trail now.

 

Pioneer style!

 

Notch it.

Winch it.

 

And I helpe...... wait no I didnt cause my winch broke pulling bear out of a tree earlier on the trail lol

 

I kind of wanted to go :/

Blew out my other stock CV boot yesterday. New shaft en route, but it wont be here in time for the weekend / would use weekend to install it.

 

maybe level out the off camber descent on Carb hill while you're at it

 

Not going to make again , working

 

But without that hole you can't get sweet photos like so:

 

Weirdest hole ive ever gotten stuck in. I dont even think my truck high centered or anything, there was just nothing for the tires to bite on. Then i got out and was able to walk right across the top like Mud Jesus. Total nonsense

 

Not on that particular obstacle, but if it were muddy I probably would have broke something, or had a sweet gouge along the side of my truck.

Its an off camber hill with a rock jutting up at side view mirror height that you are leaning right into.

 

@Jibbs, henceforth known as Mud Jesus

 

Yep! That's the spot I thought it was! -what I asked about in your thread

 

Yeah the bit at further along that trail with all the steps... have you guys run that before?

Seems challenging on 33s lol.
