Default GR Crawlfest corse preview and location (BIG!) pictures.

Thought some of you long distance peeps might want to see more of what your getting yourself into





http://www.yesalbum.com/v001/Highmark/dsc04780.jpg
One of two parking areas-notice how it's right off the road in plain view, can't miss it!



http://www.yesalbum.com/v001/Highmark/dsc04778.jpg
Same parking area-again it's right off the road so it's super simple to find.


http://www.yesalbum.com/v001/Highmark/dsc04777.jpg
STILL standing in the parking...thing, a view of the upper third of Green River.



I guess you could call this the "second third" of GR-this area has been covered in water for a few mounths but it's come down recently



Just some more



Take not of how slick this stuff is-it takes no effort to fall and bust your ass


On to the corse!



This is one of those obisticals that's super fun but gives everyone problems-just like the hole



Very long way down-it's somewhere around a 4' drop.

Rock, I only live 10 minutes away so really I can go down there and crawl any time I want And besides I put on the event so it's really only fair that I should be excluded from the compititon just to keep things fair. I'm sure I'll get to drive something eventually anyway

Nooooooooooooo two preview pics of ONE of the corses

I've actualy got 3-4 planned out in the event that the water rises enough to make this one un-runnable, but the third picture down does show 90% of it

Can't wait to see how the FX20341.3 Mk2 vr. 3.9 does

LOL Highmark! FX20341.3 Mk2 vr. 3.9, yer close. Was gonna make a decal or two with the truck's "name" on it. However if I use your format it will take up half the body. Have shortened it a bit anyway, is F/X-1205 . Well, I'll have to study the pictures ya posted there thanks for the info.
Twisted:
Eh, doubt me truck wil break but I am just hoping it will fair well. At least one of us has to be driveable! Bring yer scale tow strap so you can tow me truck off the course in style.

:( pics arent working anymore.

Can you upload them to the board? I'd like to check them out again.

Is there much mud on the rocks down there?

i don't think Jon knows how to upload pics cause he still hosts them and he has a star :?

not much mud from what i remember..only down near the river where it has risen up. besides, you'll see it in person in a week from today( as long as your here on time )
