Cool spot! Would it present a challenge for a super? Nothing really over here that I've found yet.

THANKS MNSTER!!! I looked and couldnt find them.
I have also been playing with concrete and adding more "formations" versus just rocks. Anytime you guys want to try the place out just let me know...Im actually trying to put a GTg together for the 15th.... I usually try to light up a bon-fire and have hotdogs and such on hand.

That looks like a pretty nice little crawling area you've got. Hope I can get my TXT done soon!

Looks like I'll be moving down to Bloomington in the next three weeks. I may have found a few good crawling spots similar to Bubba's Coal City spot. It is along the RR ROW where the creeks go under the tracks. I saw about two maybe three small outcropping of rocks.
