fanke19 · 07-20-2009, 02:42 PM

I'm up for it. My dad crawls with me...so he makes two. I also have another buddy that just started crawling with us...he might be able to make it out.

Aug. 2nd will work for me. Need more info on how to get to PETS to craw. The last time I tried to craw a PET, the damn dog bit me.......

I cant even have my dog out of the house when I'm crawling...he hates them. Not sure if it's a high pitch electrical sound...or if he's just a jerk

Regarding getting to Pets...

http://www.trailville.com/wiki/WI_Ke...gs_Park_Trails

Getting There: Petrifying Springs Park is located between the cities of Kenosha and Racine, just East of Highway 31 (Green Bay Road) with park entrances on either County Road A or County Road JR. There are signs at the entrances. Google Maps link to Petrifying Springs Park. You can also get to Pets via the new - as of 2008 - paved bike path (brown on the map below) that runs east to the North Shore Bike Trailand within blocks of the Lakefront Bike Trails.

Thanks for the info.

I've never been to "pets", Is there rock's or just more of scale type terrain??

fanke19 · 07-21-2009, 07:58 PM

At Pets there are many many different areas for crawling. Most of the stuff I've come across would probably qualify as "scale" style driving...hills, tree roots, river bottoms, etc. Not sure if scalers would be able to make it through some of the terrain as it is very steep with lots of "ledge" dropoffs. We use our AX10's and are able to enjoy ourselves greatly.

There are some rocky areas...but to be fair I have not scratched the surface of the trails there...there may be more in areas that I have not been to.

j182j · 07-21-2009, 08:52 PM

I will check the place be me tomorrow after work and see whats up there.

fanke19 · 07-21-2009, 10:40 PM

And I will try to scout out more areas at Pets over the next week or so to see if I can find some legitimate "rock" sections

j182j · 07-22-2009, 09:04 PM

I stopped by the location today, I thought that it was not going to be good, but it turned out ok. It is kind of over grown, which makes the rocks look small but there are some nice drops in between the rocks, nice for a 2.2 but not a super. I will post pictures tomorrow when I get a chance, I am closing on my house tomorrow so it is a busy day.

fanke19 · 07-26-2009, 02:54 PM

Alright, made it out to Pets yesterday with the wife and kids. Will be posting a bunch of pics and a few movies over the next half-hour or so...check out the link...

Just an update...my buddy Pete is a lurker here on the message boards...and he thinks I might have overstated the trails a little bit with regards to the scalers. After thinking about it...yes I must re-phrase my earlier statement.

Most of the terrain ( 80%+ ) we have been crawling is perfect for scalers. There are a few instances ( very few ) where there are logs fallen over the trail that our AX10's are capable of getting over the obstacles. These situations are very few.

fanke19 · 07-29-2009, 07:58 AM

So, who's all up for a gtg this Sunday? There was talk of Pets, and maybe another location out near Elkhorn. Let's hear it...what's going on this Sunday?

T-buck · 07-29-2009, 08:23 AM

I can still make it Sun, I was waiting to see what the "word on the street" was?? Where people wanted to meet?? Pet's, Elkhorn or ??

Where-ever I would still like to mess around.

eddy4753 · 07-29-2009, 10:25 AM

I also would like to meet with you guys. Hopefully enough people will show & we could also discuss forming a club or.........?

I would but I plan on staying in bed late with my lovely girlfriend Jess. Then it's clean up time.... Have fun Guys and Gals if any go.

fanke19 · 07-31-2009, 08:04 AM

So, let's get this organized.

How about we meet at Pets, in Parking Area #2, at 9:30am?

How does that work for you guys?

Ok, so I'm not sure if this pic will work or not, but if it does not, please email me at mattfanke@yahoo.com and I will email you directly with the pic and my cell number.

http://www.highoaksrr.com/images/2008-12-17-07.jpg

The parking areas are noted by the yellow and black text, P6, P5, P4, etc. As you enter the Park off County Hwy A, the first parking lot you pass on the right side will be Parking Area #6. Keep going until you reach #2. My vehicle is a Black Dodge Grand Caravan with a red, white, and blue "Midwest Nitrocross" decal across the back window.

Email me if you want my cell number.

T-buck · 07-31-2009, 10:00 AM

I will be there.

I am gonna bring my MRC along also. I should be able to get there by 10:00a.m.
