shelljeep's Rock Garden

[shelljeep]

Hey man, the more the merrier.
Here's some of Cory's new fastback, first night he got it:




Next are some shots from my Bday GTG yesterday:
Pretty good crowd, lots of Dads and Kids. Plenty of room for all the cars.


Ya know, Summits are pretty dang big.


See above comment:


We ran a couple courses at the end of the day, those shots are next.

Rod's AX10 tuber getting it done.


Shane's AX10 bug in a sequence showing a line Cory made first, and gets to name.


This notch is not kind to bodied rigs.

Just for the record, this was a friendly comp(he had help ).


The green Fastback however, OWNS this climb.




Random of me after I made it.

[shelljeep]

Bound. And determined.


Hard left up the slate.


Sedona Ad.


Things are bigger than they seem.


Need to get off my lazy butt and build some bent links.

[shelljeep]

The wrong line.


At least it throws you into the right line.


Trees are cool to build courses around.




I can't even remember where this is.


Another random shot that happened to be in focus.


Last one for now. Easy Line up Mt Rid.

Looks like y'all had fun. Hopefully I'll be able to participate soon

[shelljeep]

Yes sir, and I got something you can borrow til the right one comes along.

That turned out to be a awesome day of crawling Shell. The XR wishes it was there.

Looks like ya'll had a good crowd
Wish I would have been there instead of working
The 23rd would be better for me, but I don't know if I will have my new one together by then and i still havn't fixed my warthog yet so I don't guess if my vote counts. lol

[shelljeep]

Yep, it was a great day Craig. Glad to hear you will be available for the next one. There will be plenty of cars at the next one, I'm sure somebody from our crew will let ya run a course or 2 if you don't get yours finished.
Sending pm about those electronics questions...

wow man that looks awesome, my hybrid cant wait to break on those rocks, i hope my boggers like the taste of rock

[helhedded]

This garden is looking pretty big!


Can you get a pictures with the entire garden in one shot? perhaps a front and back?

[shelljeep]

Post 131 has some decent overalls from different angles but nothing is in them to show the scale of it. There's a distance pic in 141 that shows some of the crowd that was here Sat and alot of the garden, did you see those?
I'll try to get a further shot, showing the entire garden with a dog or 2 in front for scale today.
I have friends trying to get me to spread it another 15' out to get the next pair of trees. I'm game, but the wife is at her limit for right now I think.
Man.... If someone gave me several tons of rock.... it would have to go.... somewhere...hmmmm....

[honcho1.9]

i have around 1000pounds i can haul with me when i come if ya want it

[shelljeep]

Thanks Honcho, PM sent.


Got the new overall shots up.
If you look closely, you can see my dog's butt beside the tree. Nice butt.


Another shot, same angle.


90* from the last angle.

[helhedded]

looks great!

[shelljeep]

Thanks man, You really all the way up in TN? I see you do the ArkLaMiss series...

[NorthwestYJ]

Im digging all the updates in this thread. Awesome crawler course!!!! I like how it functions not only as garden decoration but an awesome crawling area

[shelljeep]

Thanks man! It is supposed to look nice when I am done. Got some work ahead before I can get there though.
Picked up 5000 pounds of party supplies today. Hope to get it set out tomorrow. Also picked up more cement, mortar, etc. to work on the slate section and slopes.


The riprap will mainly be used in this area to cover this last peninsula of concrete base material.


More progress pics to come tomorrow.

[FORETJ20]

looking good, wish I wasn't working

[shelljeep]

I hear you man. Cold in da'bayou yeah. Lol
I'm out in it too, Bcampisi came by to help me sort it out, then we are building a tie rod for his XR.
