Yup, I had a good time down at the Farm. I will definitely have to get back there sometime. There is a lot of fun stuff down there what we haven’t touched yet.

It’s a pretty muddy place but it’s fun to watch the locals how are really into that stuff.

I just checked The Farm’s web site and they have a couple pic’s of everyone slinging some mud in the mud bog competition.

Let’s keep the pic’s and vid’s coming.

We didnt escape there without some carnage- on sun afternoon, Scott was the first to attempt a gulley that they were telling us nobody had been able to finish without outside assistance. He had dropped into it and gone about 30 ft when he popped a front u-joint. after rodding on it for a bit, he lost the other, then shortly after that discovered that his ball joints had seperated on one side. The owner and his wheel loader were rounded up and scotts truggy was recovered by pulling it up the WALL of the ravine.

Of course, I had to try it next. I was about 1/2-2/3 of the way through when a jagged tree root ripped my sidewall from damn near bead to tread. Figured "piss on it, I got beadlocks, that tire will keep working even though it is flat!!". I couldnt make the final turn into the exit because of the flat tire untill we built a guide out of logs to get me pointed in the direction of the exit climb.

most memorable moment for me- theres a LOT of open ground, and when we were leaving the mud race event to head back to camp, we took the long, but fast way. Me and Midget converged onto the estimated 30 foot wide trail leading back to camp by way of the motocross track, with Dave in the Short Bus and my dad in the Billy Goat close behind. Would have been easily mistaken for filming the next Road Warrior movie- especially with Midgets Mohawk action. We really opened them up, and were flying along tire to tire at one moment then splitting apart to pass others on each side.

Yeah that's right admit it you got smoked by a v6 all 45mph of it lol. Was a good time though I'd go back but I need much bigger tires to follow Ron, Dave, and Scott around. Sunday over a period of maybe 30 minutes I was on the hook 3 times high centered on the diffs. Although I can say I have pulled out the short bus and attempted to crush a car but wound up mostly just bashing the hell out of it. Only real damage I occured was a broken shock mount and some new dents to my roof with one tree falling on Kelly and I while climbing a hill night wheeling, you should of heard her squeal funny as hell, and the other trying the crack and rubbing a tree which V'd my roof up in the center. I did manage to pop a tire off the bead in the same crack and we had to do some extreme redneck engineering to get it back on the bead including 2 failed attempts at the starting fluid trick and me and Ron loosing some facial hair lol.


BTW Rock if Clicks got any pics of my POS not stuck or broken I would appreciate it :thumbleft:

We had a dingin' good time. I guess I've been going to Dan's place for too long, it was nice to get to someplace different.

Driving there took alot longer than I thought it would but we did stop more than a few times. The last 15 miles isn't the best drive with the single lane bridges and that single lane dirt\gravel road. I arrived not long after it quit raining Saturday morning and I had to put the Yukon in 4WD or I might not have been able to pull the trailer up that muddy road.

On the way back, with better weather and less stops, it was around 4 hours to my house. Not bad.

As a side note, the tow load seemed much more in line with the Yukon's capabilities after changing over to a regular car hauler instead of using that skid loader trailer I was using. Some hills would still slow me down but flats were quite easy to maintain speed (55-65 mph) on.

So, arrived after the rain stopped and it took a couple of hours to get unloaded, tent set up, ect.

The trails were drying up and not as greasy as they were in the morning.

We found it to be quite easy to get from one part of the Farm to the other. Those easy trails appeared to be well maintained or not well used, one or the other. I don't know the place well enough to know what kind of traffic they get there.

First trip in, I just kept on the downhill trails and quickly got to a creek. Got out pretty quick and easy and didn't get in the bigger creeks. The Mazda started out following us but we had to pull him out a couple times, for some reason he didn't have the clearance we did even with his similar tire size, so he split away before long. Still, a real nice guy and his truck did run well when it wasn't hung up.

Those trails were nice enough I put my truck back in 2WD so that we could blast around, which was way fun since I hadn't really done that before with my rig. It handles pretty well at 40 even with the tires aired down. We did that alot, u might have seen us "flying" around. Heh, found out my auto-tranny won't shift into 3rd in 4LO.

The creek crossings were fun and that's about the toughest stuff we tried. We saw some large holes and couple of mud pits but didn't try them.

Actually, we wouldn't have been able to try them if we wanted too, because every time I came across a large hole or mud pit, Rockhound was already stuck in it. Well, it wasn't always RH, sometimes it was a Toyota, Mazda or a Jeep with critters on it.
We pulled them all out. LOL, a couple of times we had to hook two Toyotas together to do it, but with the two, the stucks came out easy.

We also spent a little time forging new trails and that was alot of fun too.

The Mud Pit challenge was fun to watch, Ron suked and didn't make it 5 feet I think. Or maybe it was the Toyota that made it 5' and Ron cleared the course, I can't remember. That big azzed hole at the end of the run was really interesting. At first I wasn't sure why it was there but then I remembered that Ron has mentioned his stuck accelerator at TTC and so I figure the hole was there to stop competitors with stuck throttles.:idea1:

On Sunday, the traction was really good and I did climb one of the large, multi-hump hills (the one with the left turn at the top, don't know if it has a name). We ran thru a couple of the larger holes and my friend did get stuck and me nearly stuck.

Drove around and collected flags and cards. Won the poker run.

Slid into one tree and got a pretty good dent on drivers rear, oh well, big deal.

I know there were some tougher trails out there but I don't do the really tough stuff so I didn't care. I enjoyed all my time out there and the flat, smooth trails were a pleasant change.

I've got a little more video I should process and get posted.

had another great time at the farm. like last time we got even more camp fire storys. i started off my day at 530 6 saturday mornin. i was shootin for a 7am take off time but with 3 chicks goin i didnt think it would happen but the didnt slack and i got out of leon at 645. ran in ran off and on goin down. took a diff way down and got to a road that said it was closed! i thought great have to back track 10 to 15 miles now. but i looked at my lovely map that has every last road on it and found another back country road i could take if had to so i went on and found that the bridge they was workin on was passable so i passed by the road closed sign :idea1: and made it there no problem.

day 1 wheelin
the rigs we started with me, ron, joe, dave and midget. riders courtney, keli and kelly. we went and looked at the so called hill clime they had setup and we all walked it right after the rain.
went and looked for Coffin Crack. this ditch has 2 exits on it. i was first down it and thought after the rain id try easy side first. no trouble on that side. ron went right for harder side but didnt beat on it hard cause of stock shaft on the one side was the side that had all the weight on it. after all was out we talked joe into tryin the hard side with the billy goat. short story, its a goat that walked right up it.
after lunch we went down to mud bogg that i was to run but on the way down to it drivin normal low RPMs (hard to think of that) and my engine started poppin out carb. got down to bottom were pit was and i called AAA to come fix it. took V-cover off and found i had a broke rocker arm. :idea1: i had spares at camp. got her all patched up but picked to not run bogg so it would hold up to wheel next day.

day 2 wheelin
didnt really get to wheel alot of trails i thought cause of are breakin. first break was midgets tire i think. where i got to play monkey in a tree to get the strap round tree up high. after midget got out of the ditch the truck behind him (i know hes on here so speak up) died and we had to get him out dead weight. last one was the goat on a sunday drive right up it.
then off to the ditch that was hungry for are rigs. mine was the drivers inner shaft and pass stub shaft and ball joints. i had to ride down it again so i jumped in big o. rons side wall even bummed me a little when i heard it go. worked the exit hard tryin to get out but it was eatin on us hard but i wasnt goin to give up easy so thats when we started usin the logs to help us get turned. all i can say is that ditch got us good but we made it are bitch!

trip home was fun too. had to get out and move road closed signs so we could get the towter home down the road.

had a great time and will go back again. the owner is a nice guy and didnt bother him a bit to help me out with my broke down truck. the young lady that takes money at gate is supper nice and i think she want to see me again anyway.

that bone you found in that gulley was probably from some kind of indian burial, then once you disturbed it, we were DOOMED!!!

Anybody else find ticks?? I found three latched on after my Sunday night shower- two of them were those super tiny bastids.
