Big Rock Labor day weekend? - Page 2

BigRock · 09-02-2011, 11:06 PM

You know I love all you guys, but what's the big stink about $5 or $10 for adult passengers? Is it the fact that passengers are just riding along and are having no fun at all or what? How many of you that have a business give stuff away for NOTHING? That's like taking a date to a movie and saying, she's not going to watch, so she should get in free!
Sorry if this is upsetting so many of you. I really appreciate all your business and enjoy seeing you, but keeping these places going isn't cheap. Sure Harlan's inexpensive! Why? Because the local governments foot the bill, not an individual owner.

Duke / sorry, I had to vent!

I get what your saying, but I look at it more like a toll road. You get charged for driving on the road, not by how many people are in the car. So are passengers under 18 free? That's not so bad. Most adult passengers will pay for themselves anyway, so not a huge impact on the drivers.
Keep up the good work Duke.

I'm just tickled that b/r is half hour from me. Well worth me covering my passengers for that small price to pay. Ten bucks dosent go far elsewere... but for hours of fun its a deal imo.

Ill be there monday on a rhino..anyone else goin on Monday?

Ditto. granted, i will still happlily pay the $10 as not much else you can do for that much any more. Pay $10 for a move and be entertained for 2 hours. but 10 dollars is all day entertainment when wheeling.

Had a blast today. busted the weld on my rear end playing on the tires kinda early on so had to take it easy for the most part but overall had a good time. will definitely be coming back, hopefully when it is not so hot and dry out.

So, I got a late start on Saturday morning, didn't get to BR till close to 10:30am. My brother rode shotgun and we hit a few trails near the outlook, and ran the lower creekbed thinking we would run into you guys.

Coming out of the creekbed I ended up catching a pointy rock that poked a rather large hole in one of my rear tires. So, gotta grab a tire this week. I think I found you guys later in the day....heres the stuff I shot

yeah, i was not sure if that was you in the JK or not. but that was the group i was with playin on the tires for a while.

We spent most of the morning looking for the waterfall, then half the afternoon waiting on the last two rigs to show up before we really got to hit many trails. It was only be and the Blazer on tons till about 1, then the YJ and Yota showed up for the afternoon trails.

The Rides.
My 1995 Jeep grand Cherokee

Adam S-10 blazer on Full WIdths from a 76 F250

Pickles 93 YJ on 35's

and COdy's 2002 Taco.

Hi-centered on the tires.

underpowered · 09-06-2011, 12:39 AM

adam is fully locked on new 37's. could pick any way he wanted through the tire garden with ease.

What happens when you do a 40 MPH blast through a rough field.

ended the day playing on the tires some more as well. I would have tried some harder lines, but i busted the spider gears in the rear of the jeep so i only had fwd for the most part.

ended up needing a tug as his shackle was hanging up on one of the tires.

and the Yota High centered

tried a new line, to only make it worse

Took a winch and two jeeps hooked together to get him off this time

YJ on the widow maker. nearly made it till he hit a tree near the top
