Hey guys just passing this on. Club local to my hometown is opening up "The Flats" for anyone to come do some wheeling. They've got about 70 acres leased and some really good trails cut out. I went and cruised around with my brother this past fall when they had another open invite and had a blast. Trails for everyone from stockers to hardcore wheelers and a few "playground" areas with some big rocks and other obstacles. Family oriented so no alchohol. $10 per vehicle for the weekend, and $10 per person, kids under 15 are free. They got space to camp, and a couple of hotels close by if thats what you want.

I'm planning on going up to visit my family for the weekend so I'll be up there on Saturday with my bro. Any Bronco brothers coming up let me know, and I'll meet you at my grandparents store and get my grandma to hook you up with the best baloney sammich you ever had or maybe some pintos and cornbread if you're lucky and she's got a pot goin :biggthumpup:

Marion is about 4 1/2 hours from me in Charleston, about 3 1/2 from Raleigh and 1 1/2 from Charlotte to give you an idea. The "Flats" are literally right off I-40 at exit 85...very easy to find.


Vehicle rules are must have seatbelts and be worn, and must have fire extinguisher. Here are some links for hopefully more info.

We originally had plans to go to the Gulches but Skip made a last minute decision to close the park. Chuck made a phone call to a buddy and he invited us to come up to his property for some wheeling in the snow. We had a blast. FBG did not dissappoint, despite snow and ice covered rocks and slick red mud. It was my first time crawlin' and Chuck's first time wheelin' in the snow. We made a few sucessful runs and got "the nod" on a couple others. FBG suffered a couple new scars. We tagged a tree and the tire got into the fender after a bumpstop blew out on the front sway bar. we also rolled a tire that seperated a beadlock and immediately went flat. That was a quick fix by just puming it back up. The powersteering was leaking and was alomost nonexistent by the end of the day, and the engine was puffing white smoke on some of the steeper climbs. To top off the trip we started to feel a vibration when we were coming off the highway in Charlestion. We pulled into a parking lot, made a turn and the back tire of the trailer fell off and rolled into a car. All in a day of wheelin I guess. I can't wait to go again. Here are some pictures I took.
