I don't think it is open any longer and it was a LONG haul from what I have heard. TAMOR has it much easier now with 47 being so close, it definitely goes better with college lifestyle. Even though 3:30 does seem a little late to meet up to wheel. :)Quote:

Yeah one of my plans over the summer is to confer with the other officers and get some runs to various parks together with dates set ahead of time. It's great to be able to say hey, let's go wheel this weekend, but by the same token it's nice to be able to plan around a run rather than the other way around. I think runs to 47, Alto, Canyons, Katemcy, and maybe Bridgeport would be cool. And maybe even something really new like Hot Springs, Arkansas or some of the other places in West Texas.Quote:

Agree with the others, 47 is a cool place. Unfortunately, I got a little too confident with that huge hill in my stock cruiser. Made it up to the very top where it got even steeper and lost traction, most likely due to my crappy tires. Reversed back down and didn't readjust myself well enough for my lack of approach angle in the rear (aka big a$$). Ended up tearing off a rear mudflap, which jacked up my rear fender flare, and bending up my exhaust. Wanted to keep wheeling, but the rear half my exhaust/resonator was dragging in the dirt and didn't want to **** it up anymore. I also got a CEL from the bent exhaust kinking the flow. Limped it home and cut it off before the kink. I'm going to see if I can't bend it back and then just have a random shop weld it back together. I'm going to trim the rear flaps so hopefully they won't get ripped off be me running over them again.
Overall fun place, I'd like to go back, and it being so close is a huge plus. I also definitely need to start modding my rig, not being able to hang with JK's is just sad :flipoff2::flipoff2::flipoff2:

At the end of the day, nobody could hang with the JK's!!! :flipoff2:Quote:
