Completed 6:27:15 Haspin Acres muddy mess

[HARDTRAILZ]

Late friday a couple buddies talked me into going to Haspin the next morning with them for a shakedown-get some mud on em- adventure. My rig and a pair of TJ's on 33s. We picked up a beater beercan for most of run as well. Some guys from KY that asked to tag along since they had not been there.

Park was a sloppy muddy mess from weeks of rain. Not my cup of tea, but it was a good time for a few hours and being only 20 miles from home. Did not get many pictures cause stopping and getting out sucked with inches of mud literally everywhere. Had one of the closest calls yet on a nasty downhill off-chamber washout we had to finish once on. Brakes made you go faster and gears and low range were the saving grace. Somehow skimmed by a tree that folded in the mirror n just missed the body by millimeters. Worst feeling was know there was absolutely nothing to be done but hold on and home the truck settled right. Did several muddy hill climbs that were fun.

Well here are the few pics I actually got there and a couple of the muddy aftermath.

Looks like you got a good number of pictures to me! Was it mainly open muddy areas to play on? or was it a full trail system type of park?

Either way, good to see you out there showing up those jeeps.

Trail system. We kinda looped the outer edge and stayed out of the valleys inside cause we knew they would be awful nasty. Stayed in flat then dropped down the rough pucker trail I mentioned to a creek bed. Ran creek to edge of property and picked hill by hill to get back up and out. Then stuck to more small looping trails off the main. Also played on few mini-hills like pics show.

They got a lil flat drag strip and couple motocross tracks. Trails kinda surrounding that whole thing. We stayed in one basic section and there are a couple others as well. Also have camping and couple ponds. It is better than when I used to go, but it is still a place you lock up everything and drunk rednecks run wild at night. The lil town bar close by we call the gun n knife club when it is open, but fights n such have it closed half the time it seems.

We did this out and back along outer basically.

Wow, I thought what we were in this weekend was bad. That's just nasty. Looks fun though!

How did your tires do in that sticky clay?

That place is a HUGE MUDDY MESS when we've had lots of rain! When dirt biking, we wouldn't ever go there if there was any rain after the Wed. of that week. This kind of wet, there, it's interesting to get around on a 4WD ute quad with mudlites; hard to get around on a 2WD sport quad, and impossible to do anything on a dirt bike. It's mostly really steep hills/trails in the woods once you get off of the main circle.

Would not have been my first choice of times to go, but the jeeps asked so nicely. It was definitely slick...as in so slick we laughed as my truck slid sideways in park while we were disco'ing the one jeep. Actually at the spot by the first pic. Not much of a slope there really, just slippery.

Doesn't get much slicker than wet clay...
