Default Topeka- Sat. crawl anyone?

Anyone up for a Saturday crawl? Could either hit the lake dam, or the river access area..

I was thinking sometime mid-early afternoonish?

I went out and crawled between rain waves.. Not much though, definitely not what I was hoping for.

I got better crawling in today between the football games, but we need to hammer down a date & place and have a first annual fall g2g in Topeka..

Agreed. I move on October 15 (staying in Topeka ), and I'm busy the weekend of the 8th as well, so possibly this coming weekend sometime?

Nice bud.. I just have a pile of junk.. literally lol.. Old sink, 3 tires, some aluminum scrap, and a childs toy slide.. Works great though, and I can configure it different ways pretty fast. Still looking for a good spot to gather up a decent load of rock and have a proper pile.

I did get my CC BEC today, and got it installed a bit ago. Took it out in the junkpile and ran it a good 10 minutes.. First time I've been able to go more then 3 minutes since I weighted the front tires, so it was nice to have it back in action.

I'm still on for Sat. and I don't think I'll have to work, so anytime would work for me.. Whatever and wherever works best for you guys!

I'm kinda thinking public access on the Kansas River? How bout everyone else? I just gotta swap my reciever from my truck to my crawler.

My crawler won't be quite up to par; it "clicks" on steep inclines still and I haven't done any work to figure that out :P

I'm moving over Urish way. I'm stilling living with mom (cheaper and basically still have all the freedom I would have on my own, so why not?) and I'm not sure I ever will own. I have too many desires and dreams to stay in one place long enough

The PRA sounds good to me, can't get any closer to my house!

Last time I was there I started stacking rocks after my esc started cutting out from being overwhelmed on the steering. It's not a huge place like the lake dam, but I think it's a nice place. I haven't even touched the big slabs area, because my crawlers just a baby 1/18th and that stuff looks to big for it. It definitely has some nice lines, and I have only really crawled 1 side of 1 ramp the 6 times I've been there. There are 3 more sides, and a large area between them + the shore line area.

As far as living with mom, man, ride that for all its worth! I'm 32, with 2 kids and a crappy job thanks to the economy now. My hobby budget comes dead last, and is mostly from side jobs & hauling scrap metal. When you can live cheap, it gives you a lot more budget leeway for things like crawlers and other manly toys .

Sometimes a little too much leeway lol. I've dropped waaaay too much money into my SCT and definitely my crawler haha. I could have both my vehicles running :P
