Default Tampa Area Crawling Site

OK, I posted this site before, but everyone complained about no pics. So, I got a map and pics for ya. I've been crawling here every day this week, and have never gone the same way twice. Practically unlimited courses here, and some nice easy spots for beginners and scalers.

Gandy Park

It's easy to get to fromjust about anywhere in the Tampa Area.

Check it out:

Well, it was more a matter of getting someone out there with me to help. When I'm alone with my truck...well guess what the priority is? I know you understand

Anyways, it sure is a lot closer for us Tampa boyz than the Skyway....and from the pics I've seen at the Skyway site, a lot bigger with more varying terrain.

I'm still planning on heading to the Skyway on sunday, but if anyone wants to come down to Gandy Park sometime, I'm game.

I might go by Gandy on the way back from the Skyway if I didn't break anything

BTW, bring a knife and your wheel wrench...there can be some fishing line among the rocks to get wrapped around your axles.
