i saw a stock f-250 4x4 go through it but the deepest part of the water last time i checked was about chest deep in the pond.. i know that because it got water up to my seat in my Blazer which is on 38's with a 10 " lift..
lets set up a poll and pick a good time..
i was advised that hunting season aint a good time for a convoy of jeeps to cruise dirt roads since most county roads cut through ranches and hunting camps.. but we can go to my buddys land anytime we want..

1. so the question is.. would yall rather just come up soon to wheel this land and camp?

2. or wait till after hunting season to do the dirt roads and wheel the property?

3. or we can wheel the land now ,camp out, bbq and do dirt roads later... ( i like that idea)

Post up and add a poll. We have a few events coming up:

Long Ranch Oct 17th
Trail Duty at Hidden Falls Nov 14th (still not confirmed, Renee, hear anything on this yet?)
Meeting at Tiagos Nov 15th (could possibly be canceled if Trail Duty goes through Sunday)
Meeting at Chris Madrids Dsc 12th

Put the other weekends in the poll.

Lets pick a date...I just got a new puppy and he is ready for the trails.

Sweet DJ, you've got your own off-road park!!

Knowing my luck it is like 30 feet deep drop off

i'll be there at longs in oct.. how do you put a poll on this to see who's all interested in a ride out here and when?

Start a new topic. Before you submit scroll all the way down. You do the poll there.

well i thought the dirt roads would be the highlight... BUT my coworker has about 80 acres of creekbeds and hills and mud and rocks and lots of room to pitch a tent under the stars.. so im figuring a weekend in november or this month in october we can rally up in junction on a saturday then wheel his land that day AND night then on sunday we can scoot around on the dirt roads and all part ways whenever the time feels right

heres it is.. between october and early december yall call it.... im goin to big bend the week of thanksgiving..

sounds fun wish i could go, but im having steering problems with my jeep

Good pics! Sounds like fun. I used to enjoy driving the ranches. I am out until Late December at best.

Tops are for girls and adam. Hahaha. Sucker

i'll leave the date up to the group.. id like to do it before the cold sets in and we gotta put our tops back on...

Sounds fun! We will try to make it. Date?

lol, thanks. I'm in as long as it's a weekend I can make it. It sounds like a fun time to take my jeep offroad. (haven't been able to yet )

lol.. these are all county roads even though some of em are almost too rough or steep for a regular car.. but throughout the coarse of the day you'll pass more deer than other vehicles..for example.. today i was in my bucket truck and had too bump a bull with my bumper so he would move out of my way... most all the roads cut through big ranches.. but as long as you stay on the county dirt everything is perfectly legal


and i believe its 5-6 hours from college station.. my cousin came down once and she said it took her about 5 hours ..so my guess is about 6 for someone that drives normal

i'll leave it up to the group to pick the day.. and we'll decide ride length and other details the day of .. without stopping, the ride i take is about 4 hours.. but i like to stop and take breaks so it usually takes me a little longer .. BUT if somethin comes up and someone needs to bail you can get to pavement within 30 minutes or so ..

Wow, that looks like a fun day of trail riding! We have friends out in Junction that we might be tempted to go visit and then do this day ride...will be watching for date posts.

haha, thanks....I was just wondering if anyone has actually driven it before (not a fan of mapquest or google maps, they seem to send you a rediculous way most of the time)

Thanks though, lol

That sounds like a lot of fun...any idea how long of a drive from College Station to Junction?

that sounds like a great plan Swamprat. I would be down for a trip like this.

Sounds like fun, picking a day is the hard part. Put a poll up and see what everyone thinks.

Are you going to make it to Long's with us in Oct?

I could be talked into it. Depends on timing, though. A Sunday would be easier, actually.
