Other than Covington Pike bottoms, Brunswick bottoms, and sugar creek, there is really no place in Memphis to ride.

It used to be pretty good, with SOME trails... but It's pretty much just a mud pit now. I haven't been there too much, but I know the last time I went, you had to almost have lockers to even drive far enough to get to a trail. I think some people made a trail around the "mud pit" but I haven't been there since I heard that.

Well unless you like mud, and a lot of it, it's not really worth going to. But I like mud... But I also need better tires and at least a LSD to really mud and have fun there, especially when it is really muddy.

And maybe a little off topic a little, (since you stated you didn't like Covington Pike too much) but I went to Covington Pike Saturday (after the thing 4 Wheel Parts had), and it wasn't muddy much at all, only like one hole and a small water crossing with some rocks. It wasn't that bad and I kinda liked the change since it's usually a big mud pit. Was a good test since it was one of the 1st times with my Jeep with the 5" BP on. Had some good hills and stuff, it was a good, slow ride. But, most the time with Covington Pike, it's not going to be like that.

Yep (Arlington), I live out about 10 minutes from Bolton. I got to U of M for College. Yeah, most of the time me and my friend's just ride ATVs there because we don't really have enough trucks that can go there when it's really muddy (It's good to at least have 2, in case something happens to one). We just got my friends '78 Bronco up and running though, it should be able to go easily though the Pike when it's muddy, just have to wait for it to rain though.
