There are some pretty serious hills now. Most of the trails are old logging trails. Recently found several more that are over grown. Half of a hill trail I cut straight out of the woods. With all the leaves and everything it was like mulch. My rail buggy couldn't bite on it at all but the wildcat pulls it easily so it opens up new posibilities just takes time. Elavation change from top to bottom of some of the hills is around 500 feet so yeah its all steeper than it looks. The top is higher than the eiffel tower at kings island. Views are amazing.

Question...Do your dogs get along with other dogs? and do you allow other people to bring theirs? Mine goes with me to a lot of places including vacations to Gatlinburg and such.

My girl can be aggressive at first to show she is the boss. I have a shock collar for her to get her to calm it down. After a little adjustment she is ok. They like to chase and play but can intimidate cause they double team when they play. I have let peolpe bring dogs it might be possible

I just did this up on google earth free hand. The red is my property outline and border trails. The yellow is inside property main trails. The purple is the logging road I am currently clearing it as it has been over grown. I have other trails but they are not on ridge points and I don't know where to draw them in

Looks like a lot going on around this time but I having my annual oct party the weekend of the 19th. Hard telling how many people will show. People are welcome to come check it out. You can just hang if you don't want to wheel or can't. Free Wildcat rides to the first 20 people, lol never had that many people. |

Figured I will add a little update. Found a new logging trail from the bottom to the top. Had it going in one weekend. There were no large trees on it just saplings and sticker bushes. I was amazed to still find a full trail. It dropped into a ravine and the entrance grew a lot. I also found a couple flat spots in that area which is rare. I have been looking for the best spot to make a play area and thats it. Got a little loop around so far. This is prime trail cutting season for me so I will be hard at it doing what I can to add more trails. I will be doing more walking also to scout out trail options.
The Wildcat has been great. No comparison to my VW railbuggys. They are great for some places but not what I needed for my property. My trail options were already getting limited with them but with the Wildcat I have so much more. I had s string of bad luck with the rails breaking. The Wildcat has done good. So far broke an axle and bent a trailing arm. Not bad considering how I treat it. I started babying the buggys and kept breaking. I dunno why but yellow jackets have been very bad this year. I have found at least 4 ground nests so far and been stung every damn time. I never notice them till I get stung Still open for people to come check it out. Let me know and we can plan for a weekend |

Yahoo says 106 miles from ciny about 2 hours. I live in Hamilton it takes me about 2 1/2 hours. The map directions say go 275 to 32 but I take the AA cause there are way to many lights around eastgate plus AA is better scenery

I haven't updated in a while so I figure I would post up a trail mapping app I did. I was busy as a beaver making trails over the winter. Now in the summer its mostly fighting the jungle back. Most of my trails are on the map but not all and I have a couple in progress
