Default Mounds thurs. July 9th

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.

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.

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.

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.

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