This other board I am on (Mustangs) has 1 guy who might go, still waiting to find out, so, so far, only if anyone here is going!

I have a friend in a Cherokee who has stock tires, and still made it thru all sorts of stuff there. The trails are fairly easy if you want, or you can venture off to some tougher stuff. I generally stay on the easy stuff still, but wanna try a little more this weekend. And if anyone gets stuck, with at least 2 people, we can pull each other out! I have a tow strap.

They have roads going to trails that a car could ride on, a large pavilion and area that over looks part of the park too that any vehicle could get too. If you go in the park and stay off the trails, it is like $5 I think. You could ride with one of us, to see how the more rugged trails look too.
I'm still an off road newbie, coming from 25 years of driving a Mustang GT!

Here are a few pic's from when I went end of March. It can change each week as the weather changes, but there are plenty of places a truck with stock tires could go.

It is around 300 acres, and I bet I've only driven 1/2 of it. There are places I might be able to go, but being new, and no winch/alone I did not try.
They also have a hiking and bike trail next door, not affiliated with the off road park, but when entering the park, it is straight ahead, this place you turn right.

From their website, looks like 25 miles of trails!

The park includes over 25 miles of trails in various degrees of difficulty. View the Trail Map.

Bridgeport got a whopping 1/2 of rain today, and tomorrow should only be afternoon showers. I'm still heading out there, if anyone can make it. None of my Mustang friends could, so I'll be there with the wife. Gonna try to get some pic's, but I always forget since I'm having fun, lol.

Uploaded a few pic to Tiny Pic. here is the URL, hope it works!

http://tinypic.com/a/fkz2gm/3

Had a blast today. Talked to some Jeep folks that were rock climbing, a few of them had a hard time, 2 went pretty easily, and one went up like it was nothing! She had 37" tires, rest were 35's. One had to use a winch to pull out from the top, he did not have a locker on front, and got stuck. It was fun watching them tho, and meeting them.
We did a lot more mudding and going in the water today. Tried to go up a rocky incline to the plateau I wanted to go up, but made it part way up and stopped. I was afraid if I did get up (I think I could tho), I would get stuck in the deep water on the other side trying to go down, so reversed back out.

Oh, I finally got a pic (not much of what I wanted, but it did work) of a wheel off the ground, lol. The driver side was squished down good (pic abopve), passenger side rear was maybe a couple inches off the dirt.
