crawlers in WV

[rcdemon1]

I am new to crawling but been into rc for 15 yrs, I was wondering if there a is any one else into crawling in or around this area that would want to get together to do some crawling?

I'm in Wheeling. There are a few people on here from Moundsville. There also a couple of guys down in your area. Use the advanced search in the members section and look for people in your area. When you decide to have a GTG. Let me know and I'll see if I can make it.

no prblem. I have been checking out a few spots that look challenging. john

I have found a couple of places to crawl around here. Theres an rock quarry in Martins Ferry, and this damn called Dunkard Fork(kinda long drive but worth it).

I don't have any pics from the damn. Heres some pics from the rock quarry.

Now thats a rock pile!! looks like a road trip to me once the weather gets better. john

There are piles bigger. These are just easier to get to. I'm going to head out the the damn this week end. I'll get some pics and post them up.

Ok I went out and took some pics of the dam. It should be a pretty cool place lots of rocks and hill climbs like you would not believe.

Alright!, As soon as I get my camera back from my daurghter, I try and post some pics of the areas around here I have been checking out, lot of old creek bank clean outs with a lot of rock. They used the rock they dredged out of the creek and used it as riprap in some places 30 to 50 feet back. Lot of crawling area. john


by the way ; great pics looks like you ggot enough area there to wear a truck out

Is anyone around the Princeton area? I'll be up there this summer and will bring my crawler if we can get something together. I'm willing to go a little north say around Beckley if it's easier and we can get 6 or 7 people. One place that comes to mind in the Princeton area is Camp Creek State Park. I'll keep checking back to see if anyones interested.

The rocks along side the road to the dam is about 275 to 300 yards. At the rate my Clod moves it would take me about 30 mins to go from one end to the other. Most of the rocks there are smaller in size. Most are about the size of a basket ball. But theres a lot of it that is up hill. So, that would add some difficulty. Plus the hills climbs are very steep. One I tried to walk down and ended up takeing a ride to the bottom on my rear.

I can't wait to see some pics of the terrain down there. There's a guy in Fairmont it think his name is supermanwv on here. He might know of a few places down there aswell.

Squid Beckly is a bit of a drive for me. I do get down the the charleston area every now and then. Visiting inlaws.

[polyophio]

Well, I hit this place in Moundsville by the DMV. It was fun. But definitely need bigger tires. 2.2's just don't cut it there.

There's got to be some more people from West Virginia, Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania.
