My uncle's got land out there in Blue Creek.

If this pans out, I bet he'd let us camp out there...

(11-7/8 doesn't work for me, I'll be in houston. But let me know what you find, and maybe I'll get out there in the spring...)

I will call the guy and get the scoop and post my findings.

I should have the H2 back from Rubberduck tomorrow. Then I take it back on Tuesday to install the BG after its done beeing powdercoated. I will post pix as soon as I have them. Then I leave for Windrock on Wednesday.

Ok I just got off the phone with the owner Richard Wheeler. The park does not yet have a name. You can camp (primitive) on site or bring an RV but it must be self contained. The address is 8936 St. Rt. 348 Blue Creek, OH 45616. He has just shy of 500 Acres and is still cutting trails.

I am thinking I might go for one day. The other day I may be hunting with my dad. Not sure yet. He has acreage 20 minutes from there with a Lodge that I will stay at.

Just got back from the new ORV park in Adams County "Wheelers Dirt park" and it was awesome.

Anybody that didnt go needs to go Sunday 11/8

I may go back again Sunday myself

Well worh the 1 1/2 hour trip

donaldcon

11-07-2009, 10:54 PM

I dont think I would say it was awesome, I looked all over for rocks bigger than a piss aunt and didnt find much but that can be exspected in Ohio.
I didnt even find any real mud other than one hole everyone was at. I hate mud but I exspect it in ohio, I came home completely clean.

I did find some decent mod-stock trails that with more running may become tough enough for the hardcore guys but I didnt find anything a jepe with a couple lockers regardless fo tires couldnt handle.

It is 3hrs from my house and I dont think its worth the drive for me to tow the trai lrig down, but it was worth it for my mild Liberty, only so much I can do it in without caving body panels in. Great place for guys in Mild Rigs.

I have a feeling it will end up being more gear towards atv's as it has better terrian for them than for jeeps/trucks.

It is not big enough for 400+ people thats forsure.

Here are my pics.

I thought it was alright. Not many rocks but there were some pretty cool hill climbs and ****. I enjoyed it until i sheared the bolts off my steering box and broke my gas lines. Ill go back because its pretty close. :beers:

f4isvt

11-08-2009, 02:03 AM

I enjoyed it and would probably go back. I am a little upset i towed a total of 5 hours and had motor failure. Been fighting it for a while but its time to rebuild. She kept stalling out on me and was keeping it to the floor to stay rolling. Losing all compression oh well what do I expect for a bone stock 250K 22re. Ill be back next year with a 40 over bore cam 3 way valve and port polish.

I had a good time what little bit I got around. I didn't catch many names but I did meet Greg (Tinbeater) and Gary (Guy in the Big Blazer). Wanted to thank everyone for the hospitality. So thanks to the guy that let me use the 15 year old Solder:)(didn't catch your name) and a big thanks to Gary(don't know if he gets on here or not) for dragging my busted ass toyota up the hills and loaning me his torch. Hopefully next time my truck will be a little better equipped. here are a couple pictures the wife took:

I will be going back when there arent so many people to see ifI can find soemthing I missed.

turn right (south) on steam furnace rd., follow it round the left hand bend and it becomes st. rt. 781,
take it till it dead ends in the town of wamsley(st. rt. 348),
turn right (west) on st. rt. 348,
wheelers is bout 2 miles down on your right, just past Lester Abbot rd.
