Default I found crawler heaven!!!!!

How about this place?!? This place is called Waggoner's Gap or Hawk Watch Mountain. It's at the top of rt. 74 about ten miles from Carlisle, PA. Man what a blast! Like a kid at Disney World!

Does SVSC know about this place???

Not at the same place, but a cool shot. Looks like my AX-10 is doing a hundred miles an hour. Actually, it's sitting still....

Wicked! The first pic is just mountains of pure rocks of different sizes and angles. Wish there is a place like that here.

Looks like a nice place to test your rig(s) out. After I finish my build, I will take a look into that spot. It's kinda hard tho since I have my own little course out back!

It does look like a good place to have a comp. Is it near a parking lot or do you need to hike to the rocks?

There is a little bit of parking, and the hike is not bad. Not even a hundred yards to get there. SO worth it!!!

Now that I think about it, I think my dad took me there when I was really young to watch Hawks and whatnot. I believe that is the same spot or I might be wrong. Either way that looks like a great spot!

it is an awesome spot. I know there the vast majority of crawlers leave the terrain as they found it, but this is worth mentioning anyway. the older gentlemen that go there to watch birds get a little irritated when there are 7 or 8 of us up there. i try to be polite, but the land is meant for public use. i just know that if we made a mess or otherwise they would do their best to have us banned. and if you drive it in the winter be very careful, the views are awesome, but the road is unforgiving. i dont even think it is 10 miles from carlisle, it is right out 74.
