Yeah, I voted for Mcbride to.

Not a whole bunch of comp lines but it can be very challenging at times. I know exactly where to put the bonus gates. I hope to have the bridge repaired and a new one created by then.

There was some place out that way my Biology101 teacher kept talking about. Something about a strip mine full of rocks they turned into a park. Don't know how protected or busy the park is though. I won't even attempt Uttica area (staved rock, mattiesen) cause its so protected and over populated.

This might be it

Speaking of places to go, has anyone checked out Mississippi Palisides SP or Morrison Rockwood SP? I'd like to try to find a place a little more centrally located, not that IA or WI sucks or anything. Maybe we should start a page on the website for possible locations and report back if its any good.

I checked Palasades out, nothing for rocks. I think I did Rockwood to, the parks are really nothing but one big hill. I hit a bunch of parks on my way back from Iowa one time. I to am looking for something on the western side of Illinois as it seems a good spot for all of us to meet.

Bring lots of layers it's winter!
Also there are no wind breaks around the area so pray for light winds.

Looks like a lot of people are planning on showing up should be a great.

Been messing with the website for a while, I added a few new sections. I added videos, crawl spots and I updated the comp standings page.

www.mwrca.net

Went crawling today, Zach snapped a axle shaft. I stripped some gears in the Bruiser.
