Rob
I have been to creekfalls, but not for a few years, I heard that it was closed of to off roading. I havent really checked into it. Do you know any different.
Tyler

I also recently went to casparius. I didnt get to go in too deep though cause the goofball showing me around was driving a 93 or so chevy baretta. Not a very good off roading car if you know what I mean. I had to pull him out a half dozen or so times before he finally gave up. Actually his tire exploded. It was rather amusing.

LOL, i went to the creek falls this winter and we saw no postings.

i rod shotgun in the freelander, poor thing needs some ground clearance but made it in pretty deep.

casparis is poosted/closed but the real trails are on the backside of the mountian down by the river. will disclose the directions in person but not on the bbs.

You're also an hour or two at most from Wellsville, OH. Great trails from mild to wild, mud rocks hills. Take Rt 7 south exit Rt 39 turn right follow signs to Oak Tree ATV Park, it's $10 to get in now.

There are secret ways in too. :-)

Sounds good to me. I made it only as far in as the guy leading the way in a car could get. I did see the caves/mines or whatever they are. That are pictured in the link to the photos. Did anyone ever drive back into them they look like they really go back there. When I went it was really late and some people with us were scared of the dark.

Hey Rob, it's been great so far - few little things but nothing to get worked up about. Looks like I might be taking it to Paragon next weekend.

What have you been up to? Doing any wheeling or exploring?

yeah, drove to the back. about 1/2 mile i guess. then a lot of the passages are blocked. i always thought it would make a great haunted house at halloween..

joe , i have been on hiatus bringing my range rover up to speed since i sold the disco. nearly a year since that went down. she is almost ready to wheel. i just dont want to get ahead of my self and start breaking stuff until all the little things are taken care of.

Tyler,

there are some decent trails around the Ligoner area heading towards Johnstown, PA.. mostly powerlines, yet, some decent stuff. if you're up by 7-Springs Ski area there are some trails to run. nothing serious, yet, you're out on something to get into low range.

might get back that way this Fall. possibly hook-up with RD again and will let you know.
