Nebaska, Iowa crawlers #2 1/22/06

[RD400]

Okay, the first GTG was a good start. The second one is going to be 1/22/06 at Lake Cunningham, we will be starting at 1:00 on Sunday. There will be 3 or 4 courses set up ranging from "trail run" to "WTF!". Not a serious comp, just a way to have fun and see how a comp might run. This is going to be a "run what ya brung" crawl. Full mod to 1/18 Nylints, as far as rules, we will worry about those later;-)

If anyone is interested or has any questions, post away.

Thanks,

Gerame

*Disclaimer* This GTG will be held unless the weather goes to cr*p, January in Nebraska and all:roll:. I will know more Friday.

RD400 Am I still meeting you at your house or at the lake?

[RD400]

Most people are running Futaba, Hitec, Etc. You should be good with what you have. If not http://www.hthpr.com/ is about 1 1/2 miles away;-)

Ya, meet me at my house. If you get here early we can go catch a bit to eat, my treat.

Just for consideration, here are a few pics from the crawling available in my neighborhood.

I thought I had some of the ledges and large boulders but I can't find them. If I get a chance, I'll snap some tomorrow.

[Cole82]

Are there any bigger rocks? Like these ;-)

[Mudinyeri]

None that big, but there are some cool ledges for something different. Are those near Cedar Rapids? That looks like a great spot.

[Cole82]

Those are in wisconsin.
But I did find a spot in Iowa City that is dam near identical to that yesterday.

[RD400]

Great, I could go crawling and have my bank account drained in one trip.:mrgreen:(My wife would love 3 or 4 hours alone in a new mall:roll:))

Weather check for Sunday, "sunny and 41 degrees":neutral:. Less snow is called for though;-).

[Mudinyeri]

It took me an extra day but here are some of "the ledges." There are about twice as many as you can see in the two pics.

A group pic taken right before we got the hell out if the weather. Once again it was fun. Cole82's shockless Clod worked great, so good I am going to "use" it on my clod;-)
