teaching the youth at badlands

so today i was thinking....

im tryin to get a group of kids from school (all seniors) for a trip to badlands this spring break.

then i thought itd be pretty cool to have some experienced yotatech members there to show us a trail we can all do. most of us will be stock or near it. anyone willing to go?

i know this isnt a lot of details, thats becuase there isnt any. spring break isnt till next semester. i was just wondering if anyone that knows the place, and isnt new to offroading, would be willing to go and show us how its done.

hmm...spring break huh? I think it might be still a bit frozen? Or not, don't quite remember. Anyways, I'll be back in school, so I could probably help out. I'm only 25 min. away.

The cliffs insane terrain offroad park is in Marsailles il. 30 min west of joiet.

The cliffs has more damage, and WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more mud. Also if you have any full sizes with you forget it. I dont even know if they will let a fullsize in there yet. But you decide I would love to give them the business.

Is bloomington south of chicago, what are the rigs going and are you waiting til spring

Bloomington is well south of chicago. You can get a fullsize in the cliffs as long as its a short wheel base, but i wouldnt recomend it. I had a hard time in my K5 getting arround on green trails, its just to wide.

If you guys are going to have rigs on all-terrians or street tires, i wouldnt recomend the cliffs for a first trip. The badlands is much better suited for true stockers.

True. You are nicer than me I had a blast taking the highschoolers to the cliffs, and watching them crush sheetmetal in front of their crying dads.
