Clayton, now

[robertf03]

St. John, his dad, and myself will be heading to Clayton leaving DFW around 8 and coming back tomorrow night. Anyone in?


so far its a Humvee and 2 Discos.

[Fredo]

2 discos and a hummer? Sounds like Winchfest '08.

[Fredo]

I'd go, but my neices are here and I already backed out of going to Beaumont to spend time with them. What trails do you plan on running with two discos and a hummer?

[tigweld]

quit yur *****in come on leaving at 8 u know yur in

[tigweld]

we'll be back early tommorow

Snakepit...it just sounds nasty...

If you make it into green acres, I would go to the backside of the mountain and run van alstyne. The switchbacks up there are pretty cool, Van Alstyne might have a few tighter spots but nothing impossible for the Hummer. It's also a pretty cool view from the top of the mountain. There are some ridiculous trails back there, but Van Alstyne would be about the speed you guys are looking for I would think.

[BMFScout]

Let's go to the lake instead. :)

[Sharpe]

We did those switchbacks in '06 and it was badass. You could see the town down below and they werent too hard. I think we were technically "lost" at the time but its probably the area you're talking about.

[BMFScout]

You go in and kind of stay to the left after you get into the creek bottom area. Then you go across a little clearing, then start up the switchbacks. Mike Green has dropped off maps he made at the A&A Motel. They are better than the map I drew of the place, but didn't help us out a whole lot. They did come with a Mike Green 4X4 sticker though, so that was cool.

[agjohn02]

that clearing is labeled as an airstrip on the map

[Graystroke]

that is going to be one hot biatch. get used to red boogers. the last time I was up there in the month of August you couldn't even see the truck in front of you the dust was so bad on the fire roads.

[BMFScout]

can't be any worse than the 4th. The lake you want to go to is the Potato Hills Park. Out of town like you're going to shorty's but on your left a mile or two out of town.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Potato Hill Park, Tater Hill tavern, I get it now!!! :gigem:

[Graystroke]

there were some ponds kinda by 3 stage IIRC where a lot of people camped. I would bring some heat though b/c nobody could hear your cry for help. It was in the sticks and the only reason we found it is b/c we got lost.

it caused some confusion as to why the flashers were on and the truck was still mobile

[tigweld]

did you get any of the hummer with the front wheels off the ground?

[85cj7]

Just got back from kayaking in Broken Bow just about an hour East from you. Too bad I didn't see this on Friday.
