GCRCRC Took a Roadtrip |
Re: GCRCRC Took a Roadtrip YES! HUGE thanks to Jeremy, Jason, and Mike! Way to get it done! Those boulder's on Mike's wrecker are unreal! I'm impressed a bobcat was able to move them. I would have been happy to help you guys if I wasn't holed up like Howard Hughes...:roll: I owe yall some beers for sure. |
Re: GCRCRC Took a Roadtrip That picture has a scary movie squiggle to it... |
Haha! I guess the diesel fumes... |
We stopped at the scales on the way home...just under 9 tons of rock between these two trucks. :shock: |
Re: GCRCRC Took a Roadtrip Made alot of progress today! Only took 15 hours to do it with only a couple minor injuries,damn cacti.:evil: Would like to give a big thanks to The Hansens and Jason for all the help and great food. It was a very successful day! Here is a few pics of the rocks we hand picked for GCRCRC. overhead view http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01169.jpg Just for size comparison,the flatbed truck has a 8x21ft bed http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01168.jpg Another big thanks to the guy who loaded the big rocks for us(his name was Jeremy also) with a bobcat. The life saver http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01162.jpg This rock weighs every bit of 2000lb http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01157.jpg http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01158.jpg http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01159.jpg http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01160.jpg http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01161.jpg http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01156.jpg Brought some crawlers for size comparison http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01165.jpg http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01164.jpg http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01163.jpg We were running a little behind on schedule but still managed to stop and weigh the rocks. With both trucks combined we have about 18,000lb of very nice rock. weighing the rigs http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01171.jpg http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01172.jpg Im very pleased with the progress made today. This is a great addition for GCRCRC. I actualy had a good time doing this. Thanks again Jeremy and Jason for all the help to make this happen. |
It was a long day, but I had a blast! Thanks guys for the use of your vehicles and sorry about those cactus injuries.... |

Re: GCRCRC Took a Roadtrip Growing up out there I've had more than my fair share of cactus spines, they go through jeans when you run through it full speed. :roll: We used to play hide and seek at night all the time. :ror: Thats badass yall weighed it, I'm blown away with how much yall got. :shock: You weren't kidding Jeremy. |

The sad part about taking these rocks is we did'nt even make a dent in what was there. There is some rocks up there that have to weigh in the 7000-10,000lb range. Nucking futts man! |

Re: GCRCRC Took a Roadtrip Yup....other than the catus faceplant:lmao:it was a good trip. I got lucky tho, the cactus could have been way worse. Thankfully it was more of a brush with it instead of a full on crash :mrgreen:. I had fun tho and like mike said, BIG thanks to the Hansen's for their hospitality. Those sandwiches they sent us down the road with were damn near worth the drive by themselves"thumbsup" I may be swinging by the course today since im gonna be in the area. I'll get some pics of what we've put on the ground so far. Big thanks to Jeremy and Mike, Glad we got to make the trip and cactus or no cactus I'm always down if we need to go after more! |
Re: GCRCRC Took a Roadtrip Haha! My dad called this morning and was asking when we were coming back to haul stuff from his place! I am thinking that another trailer load full of smaller stuff might not be a bad idea.... |
I agree. More filler can only help. We could do a one truck and trailer trip and still get quite a few. Ken will probably be down to make a run with his heavy trailer once he gets to feelin better. The more the merrier as far as rocks go! |
Re: GCRCRC Took a Roadtrip That sounds good to me. I think we should hold a GTG sometime after the end of February (obviously before the March comp) and have folks help us build and move all of this stuff, then we can decide if we need more rock, what type and where it should be placed. |

Re: GCRCRC Took a Roadtrip AWESOME!! That's a good haul, looks like primo rock! I saw rock like that at some ranch I wheeled past Katemcy, how far did you guys have to go? I think I saw that limestone type rock in the hill country too. That would be amazingly expensive if you bought it retail. Great score. |
Re: GCRCRC Took a Roadtrip Yep, that is Central Texas. My folks live near Wimberley, just west of San Marcos which is a few hours south of Katemcy. It is all limestone rock (the live over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone)...it's porous, sharp and will eat your tires! These big rocks we took off of my Dad's friend's cattle ranch. The rocks were easy to get to and we were doing him and his cows a favor. If we need some smaller stuff, we'll grab it from my parent's land (just a few miles away). We were discussing the cost on the way back.....Mike was saying that rock sells for ~$130/Ton in our area......so we scored over $1000 worth of rock for just the cost of gas and the bobcat operator's time. These rocks will really add to the course that some of our members have been building. |
Re: GCRCRC Took a Roadtrip What Is going to be the location of these fancy new rocks??? The airplane field course? |
Re: GCRCRC Took a Roadtrip If you ever need a place to stash some...:mrgreen: |
