I'm fresh here, but I'll comment.
Looks like you've got some room there, nice (I'm envious!) It' s hard to see what kind of an area you're working with - a wider area picture might be helpful so we can see the lane possibilities.
With all that natural material you have available, I'd also make some kind of rustic bridge(s) our of fallen wood and nails/screws. If you have access to sand or small gravel, you could try a sand pit as another obstacle...?

[finishline]

looking good so far, i do agree a wider range pic to show area would be nice

[APESHAT]

Very nice start- Having that natural granite pile is gonna make it real interesting as you add to the base. Keep the pictures updated plz- I'm in Madera, have a few crawler buds in Oakhurst too. . .

mmm the area is 40 feet by 50 feet the only way for me to get the pic of the whole thing would take a fly by maby a chopper. the area is huge and its just one of four courses that i have planed. also puting in two tracks for slashes and a "hobby shop" kind of my field of dreams but im the only person working on it ill try to get some better pics today

[Squadfer]

WOW 40 by 50 feet?! You are one lucky person

[jtrojan]

thats great my wife only lets me play on the flower bed borders (stacked serpintine)

here is a shot from the bottom to the top you can see almost all of the
"the pit"








here is one from the top down







here is a spot i havent got a chance to work yet








and for the rainy days im going to put together a coverd course

[finishline]

looks really good, seems comp worthy to me. how far is the spot you havent touched yet to this one? seems with these two spots you could hold a really good comp especially if you have parking

[on stolen rocks]

spent another 4 hrs cleaning up debre out from around the rocks. going to go hunting for some new rocks i saw some good looking bolders im gonna throw in the truck and im going to barrow a pressure washer to clean up the rocks i think ive got this course about ready, as of now there is a web of lines so I havent done the same line twice and im puting in a 15 foot bridge today. to be honest I cant crawl even half the lines befor my batt dies but that takes 30+- min

[amorton94]

I am totally envious! You are one lucky man! My only question is, why is your username 'on stole rocks'? You have an awesome setup planned. A couple Slash tracks, tons of rocks, and a 'Hobby Shop', I can't wait to see this finished!

rocks dont grow on trees jk one of my nebors was desputing a property line told me i was stealing rocks so I put up a string from property marker to marker I was on my side by 75 feet!!!

so just having fun I was watching 'dances with wolves'..then I thought hmmm......is "on stolen rocks" what thay would call me?


maby I smoke too much...... ill ponder that while I burn one.

[crunky]

Dude you got it made. You are on a great start. Some of the most fun crawling is on natural type layouts. Just stacking up rocks can get boring so keep it mixed up. Bridges are always fun.

[on stolen rocks]

found a natural line 200 feet of impassable river rock been working there all day

[crawlinghulls]

Congratulations! Looks like your off to a great start. I would say try to make a few bridges throughout the area and also bring in as many different types of rock as possible. The different types of rock surfaces will really test your tires. This is what I have at my house, we call it Rock Island.

[APESHAT]

^^That's just Badass! I saw "Rock Island" in RCCaraction about 6 mo. ago! Lucky man.
Like the Robin Trower ref. *Bridge of Sighs*

OnStolenRocks- don't quit, very nice having lg. granite on the property. I'm thinking about craning some in. . .1 day

[on stolen rocks]

no quitting here just wish i was getting paid for the work. as it turns out the entire area that im using has a layer of debret from trees i spent the day diggging out to bare rock using shovels, trowles,and a hose to get what i cant reach another 40 hrs i should have it done.

was wandering around a river next to my house and found a single line of bolders about 3 feet wide and 200 feet long going to go cut back the brush so i can walk through. ill post pics tomarow

[dano104]

Damn! Those are both some sweet courses......
