Just picked up another ton and a half of rock. Hope to have photos of the new addition later this weekend.
Gonna start building more scale stuff to prepare for the next G6 event..(-8

NICE AREA YA GOT "thumbsup", WISH I HAD SOME SHADE TREES IN MY BACKYARD. WE HAVE ABOUT 5 OR 6 TON OF DIFFERANT KINDS OF ROCK , BEEN TRYING TO GET SOMETHING STARTED FOR A COURSE, BUT HERE WHERE I LIVE ITS GONNA BE 116 DEGREES TODAY :shock:. ARIZONA IS THE HOT SPOT THIS TIME OF YEAR.

Norcal_GIT_r 07-02-2011 10:36 AM

Thanks Bob!!
I feel for you..My folks used to live in AZ..Man it's just too hot for me in the summer. But great in the winter. Have you thought about a tarp type of covering for your crawler spot..May help with the sun?

CREEPERBOB 07-02-2011 10:44 AM

Yeah its hot for about 2 months, but ya can't beat the other 10 months of the year usually. As for a tarp, our area we're gonna set up to crawl will be about 15' x 50' so that would be rough to cover.

Norcal_GIT_r 07-02-2011 10:55 AM

Cool..Nice sized area..I guess you guys just crawl at night.

CREEPERBOB 07-02-2011 10:58 AM

Most comps out here run from early fall to late spring.

Meatwad 07-02-2011 11:03 AM

Wow you live in an awesome area. Trailing through the woods makes for an awesome time "thumbsup"

Norcal_GIT_r 07-02-2011 11:58 AM

Thanks Meatwad!!
I have almost 3 acres so there's quite a bit of scale trail to be had.
I just laid out the new rocks..Now I'm going to test the layout.

Norcal_GIT_r 08-14-2011 06:18 PM

New Scale Section Added
 
I've cleared out some more area and have added some more scale features.
Here's a few photos from this afternoon.

CrAwLeR13 08-14-2011 07:00 PM

Nice work man looks like a great spot.

Norcal_GIT_r 08-14-2011 07:19 PM

Thanks guys..It's been a lot of fun putting this together.
George, if you guys ever want to comp in another backyard, I'm only about an hour from Sac.

Hyde802 08-14-2011 09:59 PM

That scall course looks killer. Keep it up! "thumbsup"

Norcal_GIT_r 08-15-2011 08:45 AM

Thanks Hyde!!!

Nice! Always like to check out what everybody else is doing. I like the tree bridge. I've been spending a fortune on preasure treated wood & my budget analyst says I'm done buying bridge materials but I can do that for free... more bridges. looks like more of a challenge too. Good work.

I don't have woodworking skills so I use the natural materials on my property for many obstacles.
Here's a few more photos of my comp area where I'm testing my new BWD Dub Mantis rig.
