There are some other good trails back down on the bottom corner of the park away from the campsites, IIRC.

I've looked at that map before and I guess it's just me, but a can barely make sense of it since it feels so much different when I'm there. Maybe it was trail 8? All I can remember is it was mainly dirt, rutted out worse on one side than the other so it wanted to push your rig into the hillside, and spectators on the sidelines are basically looking down at the roofs of the rigs on the trail. I guess that doesn't sound like it makes much sense either lol

 

[Lowrange2]

That's Heart breaker.

At the end of the trail was the big rock garden to the right, an easy route out the middle and a slightly more difficult line to the left. Or you can turn right out of the trail before all that.

Once you're out at the top is the big pile of tires and the mud pit.

Sound familiar?

Trail 8 is the one along the river. Heartbreaker is where someone broke IIRC. Is 28 papa gulch?

Heartbreaker is where Glenn leaned into his driver rear window pretty good and lost his antenna.

 

[Georgia Mike]

I remember that. I think I was right behind him when it happened? Anyway, I have some pics at home of some other rigs on the trail I'm talking about. I'll post them when I get home.

 

[94xjsport94]

Andy, take a half day Friday and come out. I'm gonna try and be there around high noon.

 

[Lowrange2]

We'll see what happens.

I broke my drive shaft for the second time that day on Heartbreaker.

 

[94xjsport94]

Gotta make some ramps for my trailer and see how it tows before the maiden voyage.

 

[Lowrange2]

Ramps?! On a trailer? No way.

 

[94xjsport94]

Something small. What would you do if you couldn't drive it up on there?

 

[Lowrange2]

Sell it.

 

[Georgia Mike]

Oof! :spin1:

You could always buy a set of driveway ramps to help get it up there. May not be a permanent solution but it'll work in a pinch.

Anyway, here are a few pics of that trail that Wendy took about 3 years ago at one of the events Skip put on

Edit: Damn...looking at the dates it was 4 years ago. Time flies, eh?

Looks like radical ravine to me.

 

[Cnickgo]

Are the logs in the trail South Carolina rock stacking?

It is. Looked totally different back then.

Unfortunately. All that crap is gone now.


I thought I was at that event but apparently I was there the weekend before that event.

That was a fun day.

That is to the left of shipwreck isn't it? Looking forward to next weekend. This weekend though I'm going to Myrtle with D to see Cheap Trick at the House of Blues!

Yes, Radical Ravine is on the left side of the trail down to the entrance to Shipwreck.
