[wheelstoo]

Has any body been there lately?If you have,how was it?It states it closes in late November untill early Spring.

 

[CRAWLERJOE]

Website says the park closes in late november for winter.

 

[wheelstoo]

I know,whats up with that.Never seen a seasonal Park before.

Beasley Knob is a 1:1 spot that closes off and on due to weather and then in the Winter for ~3 months. Is has to do with the impact of the are by rain and freezing, maybe Pooles Mill is the same way?

Hey wheelstoo that is the place I was telling you about. The best area is past the fence. I've been there during winter and the only thing that was closed was the restrooms.

Here is the thread on RCA about it: poole's mill covered bridge

[treys1]

I'm in with the Bronco. I think there is a good bit of water there (especially with all the rain) and my Wraith is afraid of swimming as of late.

From what I understand it is here:

Looks like Pooles Mill Sunday at 12:30.If that works for every body.Trey are you going to water proof the bronco.

 

[CRAWLERJOE]

I've got an xl5 in the trail finder so aside from servos it can get a little wet.

 

[treys1]

Waterproof BR-XL, BLS452 says "Water Protected" on Futaba site & dielectric grease packed in the RX.....I'm good to go

 

[TheROOSTER]

From what I understand it is here:

Yep, that's it. I'll try to be there.

 

[wheelstoo]

[Destroyer]

I'm going to try to make it up there, throwing a battery on the charger now.

 

[treys1]

I'll be there for sure.

Well I didn't blow up the Bronco's rear end.

The one spot that I didn't check the screws after last weekend was the rear diff...... turns out the 3 screws that hold the 2 diff halves together had backed out.

I tore the whole truck apart, cleaned the Tamiya grease out from the PO and filled her up with my favorite grease (Superlube). Ready to go next weekend.
