There is plenty of stuff for scalers and there were some broken parts on the comp rigs so it was plenty tough for them.

I wasn't the one with breakage.:flipoff: Well, I did strip a hex but it was on an Axial wheel.

[dshelowjr]

I destroyed a drive shaft , one guy broke his new bent lower link on his axial,& my brother had a front diff popping real bad:cry:. We had a bunch of stripped wheel hexes also. The pics don't do it any justice its a nice spot for A GTG.

[emaxxjeremy]

Can you show me a Mapquest for the exact location of the spot? I'll be in North Florida that day and might be able to make it over there, but I'd like to know exactly where it is.

[Squid121]

Thanks for the map, that's the place I thought it was afterall. I'll know probably last minute if I'm going or not.

[Scattman]

Damn, it's all underwater in that pic.:shock:

[dshelowjr]

We had A good bit of rain yesterday so I'll be going out there tues. to check the water & make sure it's not to high.

[Shaun (yota)]

What time are you going to get started on sunday and how was the water level?

[Scattman]

We really didn't get started till around 9 or 9:30 but some will get there earlier than that.

[Scattman]

What time are you going to get started on sunday and how was the water level?

It has been raining some up here so I hope it's not underwater.:shock:

[Shaun (yota)]

Is someone going to check it out before sunday? don't want to drive all the way up there if we can't get to the spot

[emaxxjeremy]

[JasonInAugusta]

Pointes West isn't under water. :flipoff:

I will find out for sure and let you guys know tomorrow."thumbsup"

Even if we can't get through the 1st water hole it is only a couple hundred yards from the boat ramp to the gtg spot.

[Shaun (yota)]

Pointes West isn't under water. :flipoff:

Set a date then:flipoff: Is there any water in the lake or have you got some rain?

[JasonInAugusta]

Yeah, it's down 12 1/2 feet from full pool (317 now).

That means tons of exposed rocks here. ;)

[Squid121]

Yeah,but that means Shaun and Jeremy won't have very much water to frolic in for the sequal to "Brokeback Augusta".:lol:

[dshelowjr]

Going to check as soon as I get my oil changed. I'll post up some pics of the water level when I get back. Around 12:30 or 1

[dshelowjr]

Well it came up alot:-(. But ,in the hour I was there it dropped about 3 inches.You can see the water line in some of the pics. It crested yesterday & has dropped over A foot today so hopefuly we are still on ,I know those of us around here are still going :lol:.As long as we dont get any more rain:?:. It came up like 6 or7 feet in 1 day It won't take long to back down as long as it don't rain anymore.

Do you have any pics of where we have to cross with our full size to get to the crawl spot?

[Scattman]

Do you have any pics of where we have to cross with our full size to get to the crawl spot?

Don't think he has any pics of that but you won't be able to make it in a car. It is at least 2 or 3 feet deep on the right side going in, a helluva lot deeper on the left. It is not real muddy, more of a sand base. I park the Mazdarati at the ramp and rode in. It is only a couple hundred yards from the boat ramp to the gtg spot.

[dshelowjr]

No I don't have any pics of the water hole but its not that bad . About 2 or 3 ft. with a hard sandy bottom. The water just does go over my exhaust & my truck is not lifted.Just stay to the right when you go through it.When you turn off the main road come straight back you will see where the dirt road forks go straight then you will come to the water hole stay to the right & you should be ok. After the water hole you will come to the train tracks ,just follow the tracks . We will be where the tracks meet the river"thumbsup"

Cool , glad you had A good time .Maybe next time we'll have A little less water to deal with. I think we are going to try to do it again on 2/17.
I tried my comp. rig today & it's not right:-(. It will turn on, the reciever & esc lights up but no throttle . Steering works then all of a sudden throttle works .Then a couple of seconds later , nothing:x.
My brother broke the gears in the front of his WK.
"thumbsup"GOOD TIMES
We could have smoked some meat in the back of Matts truck on the way out.That's the 3rd time he's done that & I think A different wheel has spun each time:lol:.BTW your truck looked funny with water over the headlights"thumbsup"

F.H. sounds good to me, just about any sat. or Sun if it's not too early (think I will be back to work soon)

[Scattman]

With this new job, the later in the month the better for me.

What about the 24th?
