We can get what ever crete we need. We are going to be using some on the comp course to fill in some smaller areas. The biggest complaint on the previous setup was the sand that was used to fill in some of the areas. We kinda want everything to be rock or, at least, a good hard surface. We have plenty of cross ties that were used for the race track. I just gotta find a chainsaw to cut one or two of them up the use for the scaler area. I am wanting to use them the help out on building some hills and such (less dirt that will have to be used). It will be good to have a bunch of small material for some filler or for like a rocky bead sort of thing. Hopefully we will have the comp area nailed out pretty good here in a couple of weeks or so and then I can start on my "cup of tea".

Man , that finger looked NASTY Marv...I think its time to get even

Looks like you guys are off to a great start!

Made any more progress on it?

corkysk8 · 01-29-2010, 09:28 PM

We have worked on it twice since the photos. It is always dark by the time we finish, so no new picture yet.

constantmotion · 01-30-2010, 03:31 PM

Went out and took some pictures today. We still need to dig out a ditch to help the parking lot drain. Since we finally got the big rocks moved where we want them we can finish up the center section, once everything dries out. Still a work in progress, but everything is turning out nicely. It's gonna be about twice the area as the last setup.

shelljeep · 01-30-2010, 09:25 PM

You've got alot of nice, massive rocks to work with.

Hope fully that drainage problem won't affect you guys very often. Do they want you to keep the rocks close to the parking lot like that or will they let you maove them out a bit?

constantmotion · 01-31-2010, 12:03 PM

We could move them back further but we don't have the equipment to move them. There is a ditch along the side of them, next to the fence. We just have to cut the ditch out from the parking lot to it. The water has always stood in that area for as long as I can remember. The ditch was never just keep up or done exactly right.

corkysk8 · 02-01-2010, 02:27 PM

I dug some ditches to the side and behind the rocks today. Hopefully this will keep the water away.

Hollywood_07 · 02-01-2010, 06:10 PM

Got more rocks to add to it. Once the comp course is done, I will be starting on a scaler course/area....dirt, small rock, hills, wood, bridge, etc.

I put some rocks on the back side of and in between the larger rocks. The lines over these should be difficult.

Looks like the "pods" can go to the back burner now. Maybe this weather will slack up long enough so we can crete it.
