Mounds thurs. July 9th

XJ?2010 · 07-09-2009, 11:57 PM

So went out to the mounds today and hooked up with another cherokee that was there/the only other vehicle there (yeah thats right the whole park to ourselfs) anyways here are some pics

Sorry for the bad quality there cell pics (forgot the camera)

-Didnt get any action shots but here are a few of me stuck the first time.

Hookin up the strap

And the aftermath -> Fried TPS, lenseless driverside headlight, Little dent on the passenger door, Kinda slid the driverside front corner into a tree so bumper and endcap got worked along with the fender. Oh and lots of mud.

might wanna get some more agressive tires to go in mud like that. but other then that great pics looks like tons of fun

Thats it, the next time I head down there its going to be mid week!

Looks like great fun, what trail was that?

XJ?2010 · 07-10-2009, 12:53 PM

There arnt really trails theres 2 way big trails those are not very challenging then there are "pits" whish consist you making it thru a bunch of tiny mud holes in the woods. It gets very tight and you really have know the boundarys of your vehicle.

looks petty sweet, but you mgh wan to get knobbys

XJ?2010 · 07-11-2009, 10:25 PM

hahah yeah im workin on that and actually i didnt want to go into those ruts i was up on the side and then the right side just let go and slid down. oh well that other XJ pulled me out all day no problem

BLKXJ 96 · 07-12-2009, 09:59 PM

Did you make it over to the rocks?

XJ?2010 · 07-12-2009, 10:09 PM

I didnt see them when i came out i saw that they had a little map and i think we mostly stayed on the other side of the park. The last hour we were just tring to get out lol man that place is confusing the first time you go and with no one else in the park your on your own. But i think i got the idea now just follow the big humps on the big trails and they will take you out. I do think they need some signs in there tho.

One question tho I had that print out map you sent me but we ended up some tight trails and hill climbs are those ATV trails? cause on the map it says all the "trails" are 2 way which would not be possible on one of those tight ones.

BLKXJ 96 · 07-12-2009, 10:20 PM

All the trails in that place are two-way, I never put my windows up when im in there, so I can listen for Quads and bikes.

XJ?2010 · 07-12-2009, 10:23 PM

Yeah so we were on the ATV trails woops. i'll tell ya what those pits are bad you go into the woods in a couple of stockers and its a fight to get out

It dosn't matter all the trails are open to all vehicles, in any direction. You need to pay attention in that place.
