OK, here is my problem, I live in Omaha Nebraska. Yes the same Ne that has all the corn and cows, vast open fields rich with growing protential. We have good family values, small town kindness, a football team that 99% of the state loves, and a great LHS with a great indoor carpet track and out door off road track. Life is good but.......................................NO ROCKS!!!!!

I would love to hear about any place close that is a good place to go crawling, if any one knows.

Another thing, I would really like to go to one of your comps, is there any close to Omaha. If not thats cool, but I would really like to try my trucks out against some of the trucks from this board.

Denver isn't to far of a drive from omaha, and we have comps all the time.

RD400 · 07-29-2005, 11:01 PM

to far? Denver is 9 hours

you are right thou, I just don't think I could talk the wife into going to Denver without completely draining my bank account shopping out there.

I was kind of hoping that there would be one close enough that I could drive there in the morning, beat the hell out of my trucks and make it home to crawl in bed with my wife. That way I won't get the guilt trip for leaving her all by her self for a couple days.

I'm in Cedar Rapids IA, 3 hours.
With enough time, could get a gathering together.
I also want to see how mine compares to other rigs.

thanks Jason, I'm not sure how to look every thing up here yet, but your list helps

First of all, the team.... where to begin, oh yeah, the fans are a frightening form of sub-human that think "Big Red" is the only thing in Nebraska, they should really think about getting out more. There is a full spectrum of color that normal people see, not just red.... and yes the LHS is awsome if you don't work there anymore!!

I think we should take a trip to Denver and leave the wives here! I've made the trip in 8 hours with no jail time! I here they've got some good hobbyshops there- so it might be worth the trip even if we have to bring the wives. We can always take two vehicles and send them on their way in one.

Do it!! Send the wives to the 16th street mall downtown Denver, then drive about 8 blocks and you're under the infamous bridge. Let alone all the places in the foothills and mountains to crawl.

There are 4 different hobbyshops I deal with in my immediate area. Chances are one of them has what I'm looking for.

Edit: Moved to Chit Chat, there's no tech here.

RD400 · 08-04-2005, 04:36 PM

Okay, I took a little time off work today and went looking for rocks. After 4 hours, $18.35 in state park fees, over 100 miles of driving, about 3 miles worth of walking, and talking to state park employees ( which are paid way to much I think for as little as they know) I found I place to crawl.
Its not to bad, it is were they blasted for a road way 60 years ago. I was going to take pics but the camera died when I got out there, so I had to chose, take the batterys out of my radio to take pics or crawl. As you can see, no pics but while I was running a local redneck showed up. He procided to tell me about a rock quarry that is about 50 miles from my house. I am going to check it out on Friday and take some pics of all the places I find.

And yes, I bought a 20 pack of AA batterys today at the store.

RD400 · 08-05-2005, 07:43 PM

Okay, here are the pics of the state park I was talking about.

That wall at the bottom is between 2 and 3 feet tall.

Had to see how good the truck worked on real rocks.

The truck works great, I had to see how high the truck could get.

That is a lot higher and steeper then it looks.

That is the family, my wife Kara and son Greyson. The picture is taken from were the truck is in the pics. I had to zoom in pretty good from up there.

P.S. I am scared to death of hieghts and you have to be quite the billy goat to get up there!

mike · 08-05-2005, 08:05 PM

Looks like a fun place to crawl. Did you check out that quarry?

RD400 · 08-05-2005, 08:35 PM

No, as you can see, my wife invited herself along. I really didn't want to drag her to a quarry also. I am planning a little covert spy mission for Sat. (this mean I have to help my dad do something on Sat morning and when I get done I am running out to the quarry)

mike · 08-05-2005, 09:55 PM

Don't forget your camra and batterys. :-P

RD400 · 08-05-2005, 10:17 PM

Haha, they are already in my truck
