I can't make TECORE, but I can have some fun. http://www.bundyhilloffroad.com/gallery.html Isn't very far from my new home, so I'm hoping to make it down there by the end of the month.
I went today, it was super fun. Lots of trails, marked and unmarked. Graded from green, blue, black, red. I stuck mostly to blue, but some black. Red, is mainly for people who don't care about body damage lol
Now that I have some free time to elaborate, I will do so.
The trails, aren't exactly clearly marked, and the map... Sucks lol.
The main trail I ran was called Mild to Wild. Since it's been raining for a week straight here in Michigan, pucker factor was high..
Its a blue rated trail, Mild, and crosses often with a Black rated trail, Wild, get it? I kept crossing over to Wild until I got hung up pretty good on my rear shock mount on a little stump I somehow slid sideways onto. HiLift and a push cured that, then I got out into the muddy ruts, really trying stuff.
There's also a large quarry area I let my gf drive around in, and I did a bunch of the pea gravel Hill climb's.
It was a nice trip to get her acquainted with what I consider wheeling, as opposed to flooring it through a little mud pit, turn around, rinse, repeat lol.
I went on Friday morning, and had the only vehicle there. There were some bikes, I stayed clear of since it was a family with kids.

I prolly would be there.( I'm only about 5 miles away) Hopefully I can get my time to swap front diffs first. Last time was only in 2wd.
The park has changed a ton since opening. Still very sandy in spots, but they have really worked on the trails from what I've seen

Sure thing, any weekend is good for me. I got my spacers today, just bolted them on. I have three job interviews tomorrow, but I hope to get my tires mounted and lift installed this weekend

I would be interested depending on dates. It would be a good chance for a shakedown on my truck before making the trip to Maine for the MOTL trip. They do have camping available there as well, it makes for a much better trip when you can relax after wheeling instead of trying to head home right away.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

I would like to go within the next six weeks or so, before it gets too busy. I only live about an hour away, so I'll probably go check it out in a couple weeks anyway, just to see what's up

Well, it's open to all makes, so I figure it will be fun to crash the party.
