Default Paradise Texas Area

I was just wondering if there are any good rock crawling places around Paradise Texas.

What's up superman! Not sure if you know me or not. I guess you know Brandon at Paradise Extreme. There's some really good crawling on the East side of Grapevine Lake. Several months back we did some crawling at some Motorcycle Ranch close to Paradise. We gotta go back there someday. Also there's a high school with some small rocks to play around on about a mile away from the track.

How's the gang doing up there at Paradise? We should all get together for some crawling soon

Oh cool. They're a great bunch of guys up there. Have you seen any crawling up there? I helped a little bit in setting up their rock crawling course.

I actually live in Boyd. I just got into crawling probably 2 weeks ago. I am still working on completing my first crawler. I thought it was just a race track over at Paradise so I didn't pay much attention. I will have to go check it out.

CMAN, got the direction to the spot in Grapevine Lake?

Is it at the north east side across the damm at one of the camp grounds?

I'm going to see if I can swing out there to check out the course!

Sup Dazz! We either go to the damn or the camp grounds at Murrel Park and Twin Coves. Either spot is cool with us since they're both great crawling grounds. I think we're gonna try to go Wednesday around 6pm. That is if Texrok doesn't get swamped with work that day. If not then Thursday. I'll PM you my ph number.

OK fellas,
Looks like we are going to try to be at Grapevine Lake around 5 or 5:30 PM Wed evening. We will most likely go to the north side of the dam. It's just closer and easier to get to. Hopefully schedules will stay clear. Be there.

Yup we'll be there at 530 Wed. I'm bringing my fresh new tlt. Texrok I hope your schedule stays clear cause I'm anxious to test this sucker out!

Dazz you have my number so give me a shout around 5 if you need directions to get there.

Let's try and shoot for the north side of the dam. I don't wanna change plans last minute since the sun goes down by 7pm.

Dazz sorry you missed out. Let us know when you're ready to go crawling and we'll figure something out.


You too Eric......get off your arse, finish one of your crawlers, and haul your butt up here
