Default Scouting New Spots

Did some scouting this wknd. found two more places to crawl.
got 2 more spots in mind towards hot springs,will be checking them soon.
i have lots of spots we can go, but accessability for those who dont have 4wd is a problem.
1.spillway in paron(my home)(dont laugh)
water was down, most of the time it is is
slate rock formations and hard sandstone type rock
good scaler area and next to state park so they have bathrooms and you can swim, something for the kids.

2. the cave! also in paron. just right off road hwy 9.
water was running,would be great in cooler weather lots of
bugs out right now.

see ya at the comp!

found 2 more possible spots today.

1. kanis park. at the back by the skateboard bowl.
if you got a buggy or truck you could get some air in these
skate pools!


2. boyle park. decent creek runs threw it,good sized rocks

You don't know how many times I have thought about taking a truck through that when I am out back. It looks great when the water is down.

well went driving around sun morn and headed up towards my hometown of paron. and found alot of good crawlin spots just off the county roads.
up @ lake winonia and sylvia. as soon as all the bugs die off theyll be good to go.

also went to my "rockspot" and on the upper section(for those who have been there)me and my gf , filled gaps in the big rocks and made an awesome comp course,badass steep slopes, off camber climbs,8ft-15ft ledges to crawl @ and over! i was impressed with my cousins gc-1 ,i repo'd from him,till i fell off the ledge and broke the rear post off at the housing!
as before when the bugs die, this place is gonna be my next home!

That looks like it could be a decent spot. Looks like it's right beside a road though... Is it a high traffic road? Is their parking close by?

It may work better with "today's" crawlers.....back then it was tough. My crawler is 200X better now.
