I love it,i think for my club spring trip to Harlan next year,im going to mention this place to them as a suggestion
we'd probably love spending a night or two there,according to mapquest,its only an additional 2 1/2 hours from where
we wheel in Harlan Ky.

Trails are marked better than when I went to Harlan, but that was a couple years ago and the trails at either are not marked greatly, but windrock had random markers on trees on trail so if you got on wrong one you would see before you were in a real bad spot.

I need to go back to Harlan and see how they compare. I was on a quad there.

Only bad thing is it wont go where I want with those baby tires. There were two jeeps that had stepped up from 255 or 265 mt to a 35 and were both saying how much more enjoyable it was not fighting to get over stuff. I know 37's are coming in the future after this trip. My buddy already told me he is ordering 38 inch pitbulls so when he airs down he keeps the ground clearance.

A few more pics.....

A few of the water we dealt with...

A few of them were wishing they left there doors on after having to pull the plugs in the floor to let the water out. I never got any water inside except for the rain.



My buddy Cody's Rubi, I helped install the front fenders and they are strong enough to drive another Jeep onto them.

Image

My buddy Scott's base model, but stuffed with 5.13's and ARB's. I did a ton of work on it. I like the pic cause you can see the size of the rocks.

This is just a cool shot...

Yep they are real popular in Vegas as a lot of people like to put 24"s on them. My friend just bought an 08' JK and loves it. Good vehicle but his has the D30 front and D35 rear :slap:

Harlan was really well marked when i went,it has became alot more popular recently,id assume they
updated the signage.

I love the water pictures,i must say that i have a water crossing fetish when it comes to offroading.

That guy is hilarious. We drank a bunch of beer and it was funny to see his kids just stop when my wife would use her teacher voice to get their attention.

The funniest part about the picture is his wife took it and didnt even notice til he downloaded them.
