    These first few pics are on some land that I have access to that is about 20 minutes from where I live. Its about 170 acres that is very overgrown and rocky. It would make for some great trails but it is slow making them big enough for a truck. There are some old atv trails but they are very overgrown. The below pics are in the few open areas that I have been able to get to.








    There are some very hidden holes that you don't realize are there until you are resting on your rockers. I need to get some rocker sliders, and a lift wouldn't hurt either.


    I live about 40 minutes away from one of two State run ORV parks in Missouri. As a kid I used to go there with dirt bikes all the time. Last weekend I took my son down there to watch the dirt bikes and ATV's. I decided to pay the $5 fee and go on out there. Trucks and vehicles are only allowed on the sand flats but there are plenty of mild areas to wheel and if it rains there are plenty of mud and sand holes to wander around in. I had to pull out a mid 80's F350 that wandered to far into the sand while pulling a trailer to go get his ATV that broke down. He didn't air down his tires and his 4wd hubs weren't engaging so they just dug right in. The Park Rangers asked me to try to pull him out, but they were "hoping I had a bigger truck". The little Taco got the job done though! Unfortunately, I didn't get any pics of that.

    I'm headed to St Joe ORP on Monday! I know it's mostly ATVs and dirt bikes, but it's still plenty of fun doing donuts in the sand and farting around the flats. Come up and say hi, I'll be the only pickup in there lol.
