We just got back from a place called Land Between the Lakes this weekend riding ATV's and dirtbikes, and the place was awesome! I'm definitely going back for some truck wheeling and more ATV riding for sure. Very nice place and only 4.5 hours away in KY.

4.5 hours for you! 9.5 hours for me! Is that over on the western side of Kentucky near the Tenn line?

We stayed in a place called Cadiz KY, but I never really looked at a map, just followed the guys directions to the campground. Very nie place, though, but there's plenty for us to do around here, closer to you guys!

Yeah, we really need a Windrock trip-that place is so big that there has to be way more there than what I've seen. They ever get that dang campground finished at Windrock?

I haven't heard or checked into it. Most people if they want showers stay in one of the hotels. I'll check and see if they've made any progress on it.

Never heard of it, but it' might be worth a trip down there.

This line from the other forum caught my attention:
"Saturday Night starting at 9 or 10pm – There is a “Good possibility” of a LOUD LIVE BAND, DJ, PIG ROAST, MUD GIRL BEAUTY CONTEST and LARGE BOND FIRE.

Live Band? Pig Roast? Mud Girl Beauty Contest!! This sounds like the perfect opportunity for me to come up with an excuse to meet my wife's relatives in Alma.

Guys, I can't make this trip. I'll be in Tunica with work, but I'd much rather be wheeling with you guys. Have fun, and definitely do a thorough looking a those harder trails too!

Marc (zman), Greg (yotaman), and me went to Riverrock over the weekend and had a great time. The place was pretty cool, it had advantages and disadvantages. All the trails were very close togther and not more than 5-10 minutes from camp. It was mostly sandy ground though and very dusty. Most of the trails were heavily off camber with holes dug to test articulation and a few trees to drive over or get hung up on in my case. The rocks were probably brought in from elsewhere but had been done pretty well-everything was very challenging. Marc tackled most of the hard trails and conquered them mostly w/o a problem.

I left last night, but Marc and Greg stayed hopefully they will post on what they rode today.

Damage report as of yesterday-my gas tank skidplate is totally trashed from getting hung up on the tree, Greg's truck was overheating pretty bad, and Marc got a small dent in his diver's side rear quarter from a tree. Videos will be coming in the next couple of days.

Didn't take many pics-just a few of a rolled Cherokee, a broken birfield from a Toy axle on a Samurai, and a few pics of some really clean and nice Samurai's.
I had some really close calls on that off camber stuff-especially trying to cross that log in an off camber situation-I had my brother and Greg both riding on the sliders for that one. Today I took the tire off the roofrack-one way or another I'm gonna have a rear tire carrier in the next few months-even if I have to redo the entire rear frame or get the body mounted carrier from overseas if I can find someone to import it for me and I've had no luck with that so far. I will need it by the end of October b/c having my spare tire in the cargo area takes up precious space that I will need for baby items come early November.

If you saw Marc, then Mary was behind him in his '96, then Greg in his '95, and then me.
