Arrived at RC at 1600 on Fri and helped Lynn put up trail markers till 1700 then set up camp let me tell you IT WAS COLD!!!!! 12 deg this morning Glen is a TRUE JEEPER drove to RC WITH NO TOP!!!Started trail cutting at 0900 cut back X1 and X3 both green but I can see X3 changing to blue. After a break we moved a pole to block a restricted area then cut a dead tree down and winched it across the other end of the same road then cut part of a 2nd tree to finish the job. After we broke camp and loaded the 101 we went to explore the NE Property. Ran N4 to X3 to X1 to the far NE end and picked up N2. Ran N2 to N4 to the SW corner to P. Ran P to The Pit (small lake about 2ft deep) to play in the mud then back to continue P back to N4 did a quick drive through of AREA 51(large playground) then back on N4 to the exit Glen is gonna post the map of the new property. Pics will follow. Just so everyone knows I was trail leader and didn't lose Glen. Some trails still need cut back they are gonna cut on Sunday and will be open on 4/2 If anyone wants to on 4/11 Glen and I could lead a ride on the NE property Only trail damage was my face(got in a fight with a tree branch and lost)

Sounds like a fun day, wish I could have been there. It brings back memories of DeJa trail cutting at Paragon (RIP). I will check the RC site, but do they have a map of some sort yet?

Glen is gonna scan the map and post it. The staff is calling it "Old School Wheelin" at this point the trails are like graded fire roads with a few ruts. There are a few cool areas to play in as well AREA 51, ROSWELL,THE PIT, THE PIT JR. Missy and I were talking(she is from Chester Co) and it reminds me and her of a place we wheeled 20yrs ago called the Coal Wharfs. Great area for stock rigs and the trails are being cut wide and high so full size rigs can run it and not get pin stripes(even Hummers).

That area sounds like a great place to do the 101 on Sunday.Thanks for helping out with the cutting Glen and Percy. Can't wait to check it out.

That area sounds like a great place to do the 101 on Sunday.You can run most of the trails in 2 wheel drive. Playing around with some hill climbs and the mud pit will use 4WD.

That doesn't sound very challenging. :-\ I'm not much of a "mud pit" fan either...although I love to watch.
Any rocks? -
Any rocks?Haven't full explored the area but, what we saw had no rock challenges.

Percy the stick wants a rematch. LOL

Ended for me when I sucked half the Pine Barrens into my tranny and it cost $1200.
Hey, anyone heard whether they will allow camping over on that side?
-
Or when things starts to rust, or you just don't feel like spending 2+ hours cleaning it because the mud is so caked one. Did you guys explore all of the new property? Just wondering if there is still a chance of seeing some rocks over there.
-
Man... you guys are just a bucket of fun huh??? I don't want to park my jeep in it over night. It's just fun driving though puddles. It's cool, those are all really good reason to be bitter
-
There are some Black/Red areas in the works which include rocks.
Lifted this off the RC thread...
