Farmers were complaining left and right. One even pulled a gun on a guy. Sheriffs escorted many trucks to the nearest town. I escaped and hit a very hilly and clay road with about five other trucks and got stuck for about an hour trying to pull a stock jeep cherokee out. i heard the 2012 Ford Raptor lost its front end and was stuck on 92 for 3 or 4 hours. Anyway, not very organized as Marc stated.
It was great to finally meet Marc and the Singing Camel clan.We should plan a smaller LR only outing sometime.

Mostly public level B roads.

I've heard of Medicine Men pulling guns on people when they've stumbled upon their garden on tribal lands but never of farmers pulling on someone for using a public back road. Mean streets of IA I guess.

Nice to meet you as well.
I really felt bad I couldn't help you but that Sherrif was a jerk, told us if he would find us on any b or c road we were headed to jail.
I found a place in South East Iowa, Timber Ridge ,that has 2000 acres to play on as well as a camp ground, check it out Eric.

The "public roads" aren't viewed as that by farmers and crazy locals. You've never been in the sticks huh?

They can think what they want, a public road is a public road. Now trails running along edges of property or tearing thru a field, even if only mud, is a different story. It doesn't sound like it was a bunch a outta state plates or anything. The roads they had in the video look like any other dirt/fire road, not sure what the beef would've been.
