nick rummy and i are planning on going to the gorge for gtg
if any one else is interested let us know.

date changed from fifth to twelvth alot of people were saying they could make it out on another date so lets try this one

EeePee · 04-25-2007, 08:57 PM

TSC has a comp on the 6th in Indiana.

That's too much driving for me.

Maybe next time.

NickRummy · 04-25-2007, 09:07 PM

Bummer Eepee!

I'll have my trucks ready for the GTG sloppy!

polyophio · 04-26-2007, 06:59 AM

Do you have directions to the gorge? I will try and make it up if I can.

TwistedCreations · 04-26-2007, 08:18 AM

I'll be in Indiana on the 5th for a comp... sorry, can't make it...

Where is the gorge at?

sloppy · 04-26-2007, 10:21 AM

it is in cuyahoga falls ohio here is info there is map also on this page
http://www.summitmetroparks.org/parks/gorge.shtml
real nice place lots of water and rocks so water proofing is a goood idea

TwistedCreations · 04-26-2007, 05:37 PM

ahhhhh 4 hr. trip

sloppy · 04-26-2007, 05:42 PM

4 hrs thats not bad for gtg lol

NickRummy · 04-30-2007, 07:23 AM

Sloppy, what time are we looking to meet up?

The only thing I don't like about the gorge is that it's a decent walk to get to the good stuff. I dont mind it at all but some people might be bummed if they can't recharge batts easily. I have some plans for satruday so I won't be out to long. I can run for an hour or two though depending on what time the GTG is!

sloppy · 04-30-2007, 03:05 PM

you know me i can go whenever on saturday.
i know what you mean about the walk i dont mind either but i understand if you are runnun more then one truck it will be a pain. thats why herbies will be nice we need to get up there and do some work some day.
i want to check out that new spot to did you post pics yet?

nick since it sounds like more people could come another weekend would you want to back it up a week say the 12th maybe we could check out that new spot or somthin

NickRummy · 05-04-2007, 11:29 AM

yeh the 12th would be awesome. I can do a little scouting first. I think I have an idea that is close to parking.

sloppy · 05-06-2007, 11:30 AM

date has been changed and as of right now i know there will be at least 5 guys going so if anyone else is interested let us know we will meet around noon in the main lot. but may move to another lot once everyone has gets there nick is gonna do some scouting to see if we can park closer to the rocks

I am gonna try and pick up some tennis balls by saturday and maybe set up course for 1.9 trucks.

EeePee · 05-06-2007, 08:21 PM

I changed the date in the title for ya.

I'm gonna be an official maybe.

sloppy · 05-06-2007, 08:55 PM

sweet thanks i was wonderin why it didnt change.

NickRummy · 05-07-2007, 07:16 AM

I drove by that other place Sloppy and it looks like there is a dirt parking lot that we can use. holds maybe 5 or 6 vehicles. We also have this as an option

Akron GTG pics 05-05-07

Here is what I posted over on Scale4x4

Well me and Kendra went out for a hike last night and I scouted out another trail. It has a parking lot that will hold about 10 cars or so. I only took pictures from about the first 15 minutes of the walk since it was close to the truck. This is where all the good stuff was anyhow. Here is an album with photos of the trail. I think this would be better than the gorge.....

Here are some photos from this same place from last July

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ge%20Crawling/

Here is a link to where the trail head is. You park right next to a Chrysler dealer's car lot.

One down side to this trail. If your truck takes a nasty tumble down the wrong ledge. Game over.

gravelcrawler · 05-08-2007, 03:31 PM

im confused where are we going

sloppy · 05-08-2007, 05:59 PM

its still the gorge just it is across the street same side as the powerplant
not as much foot traffic and alot more rocks well better crawlin rocks anyway i will get with nick tonight if i can and see for sure where we are gonna park i think he found a better spot up the road so we can be closer to our vehicles if someone needs to charge or somthin like that
you get those electronics fixed?
