| WI boarder state parks
A few parks that might be worth looking into, if anyone wants to check them out. Make sure you talk to the park rangers to make sure they would be ok with our groups and trucks in their parks. Each state park can be different, depending on the local management. Interstate park, on the WI side. Here is the PDF map, you can see they also have a pothole trail, and a trail called horizon rock trail. Hard to tell how far the parking lots are from the rocky sections from the map though. Willow river state park, just north of Hudson. From the google satillite images, the water fall looks pretty big... Maybe to big though. And the rest of the park seems to be wooded, or grassy fields. Here is the PDF map http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/...lowrpark06.pdf Those are the only two parks that look promising, and local for us in the metro area. Hard to say if either will have the style of rock we are after, feel free to check them out though |

We should recon the Wiscomsin side of Taylors Falls for potential crawl spots. In fact Willow River could also have some nice rock formations.

| Reason #5 Why Wisconsin Sucks I just checked the email for our old website. Aric (Rex) sent us this. He contacted the rangers at Willow State Park about us crawling there. This was their response: Quote:

Only took a little over a month to anwser my email. Don't rule out the WI side of Interstate Park. It is different people running it as far as I know. Should I email them too, or just wait till spring and go there? I think it might be better to get a few guys together and go there with our rigs, and show the rangers just how little we would affect the other park goers. |
