Des Moines, IA. crawl, lots of pics
 
Okay, here are some pics of Saylorville Lake were gooba took me on the 28th. It has miles of places to crawl. One more good thing is it is 15 minutes off the interstate and there in parking right next to the rocks. No more loading the cart to hike to a crawl spot.

These last 2 pics are of rocks that are between 2 and 6 foot in size.

Here are some pics of gooba and myself crawling, it is a great place to go.

It was misting and about 40* out but still fun. I would really like to get a bunch of guys out there to crawl.

Thanks for looking;-)

Those 2-6' rocks look great.
That's the stuff the stick was made for.

RD400 01-29-2006 08:26 PM

Ya, an aluminum drive shaft. It makes a cool noise when they snap:twisted:

gooba 01-29-2006 08:30 PM

any word on crawling this weekend yet? i heard its supposed to be nice and id hate to waste it

Cole82 01-29-2006 08:34 PM

If it's nice I'll drive out there.

RD400 01-29-2006 08:40 PM

The wife has to work all weekend so I am sure I can make it:twisted:. I told her I was going up next weekend on the way back to Omaha last night. She pouted and whined because she wants to come. A good way to come up there even more.

gooba 01-29-2006 08:44 PM

looks good weather wise cold but sunny and no rain or snow. 41 is supposed to be the high sat and 36 sun mostly sunny both days and the only precip all week is a chance thursday

RD400 01-29-2006 08:50 PM

Sound good gooba, and your location, rocklessville? Try Omaha, you live in rock meca compared to this place:flipoff:

gooba 01-29-2006 09:03 PM

lol thats from when i was in nashville. i lived in like the only part of tennessee that wasn covered in them. we had like 3 within 10 miles. but yeah we should defenetly go crawlin this weekend. i also have a way into the locked areas although slitghtly illegal it worked at the bmx track in between weddings.

if your guessin what i happened upon my dads old firefighting gear and found a nice set of brandnew fire dept boltcutters. they make short work of any padlock or chain

RD400 01-29-2006 09:10 PM

Wow, don't need to have to call the wife 150 miles away to come bail me out of jail. The places that are open are more than enough;-)

gooba 01-29-2006 09:12 PM

yeah thats kinda what i figured but i thought id throw it out there.

gooba 01-29-2006 09:15 PM

Yes I know I'm bring this thread back from the dead. But I'd be interested in finding some people to go crawling with. New to the area and started this hobby.

Holy way back from the dead. There are still a couple of us scattered throughout town we just kinda crawl when we can. Where abouts are u in town?

My guess, is since his Location is "Perry", that he's in Altoona.

Making my way back to the area temporarily. Is there a group in the area? Or is it just a few people? Went to Saylorville once last summer smoked a motor but had a good time.

gooba 02-12-2016 10:23 PM

Re: Des Moines, IA. crawl, lots of pics
 
There's not a group that gets together on a regular basis. I know there's guys with crawlers as I see their parts at the LHS we just can't seem to connect

Looks good! From Des Moines here also. A group of 3 of us usually take ours to the other side of the dam. Some fun rocks on that side too (depending on water level of the lake).

Would be fun to have a des moines crawling event.

gooba 02-27-2016 10:15 PM

Re: Des Moines, IA. crawl, lots of pics
 
I'd be happy to just have someone else to crawl with.
