I edited your post because he had beer in his signature, the first link you posted would shit if they knew beer and wheeling was happening in there club.

Also check out http://www.texasrockcrawlers.com

We do not believe in drama unless everyone is laughing

I've wanted to check out Satan's Playground since he opened it. http://sp-orv.com/

i don't know much about lone start jeeps, just that they are a big club.

here's a new place only about 45 minutes from north austin (in Rockdale). I've never been there, but will probably check it out w/in the next couple weeks.

www.tiretraxranch.com/

the rockdale park is small and looks to be all mud. waste of time for most.
boulder creek has grown in well and cline ranch trying to start up and grow some more.
satan's playground is becoming one of the big contenders.
also long ranch is a pretty fun cheap trip.

Cool place to wheel....:smokin:

There are some neat places if you are willing to drive around. Long Ranch has plenty of trails for a full days wheeling, and its only $20. Havent been to Katemcy in about 4 years but from what I remember it was all granite boulders. Calrocs had a few comps out there that were pretty entertaining to watch and after it was over they had trails rides. Trees Ranch has some pretty gnarly stuff and lots of trails. Carnage happens. The YO Ranch was really similar but its closed to wheeling from what I have heard. TireTrax place is all mud. boo. Also a new ranch is opening up for wheelers outside a Llano, Stillwater Ranch. I havent been there but it looks promising.

I cant believe no one has mentioned Barnwell Mountain Recreational Area in Gilmer and Escondido Draw Recreational Area near Mason. http://www.texasmotorizedtrails.com/

Hey AZ Jeep, I just moved out to San Antonio, from Glendale/Phoenix/Scottsdale AZ. Sure miss Arizona, but like the slower pace of Texas. Shoot me a PM if/when your heading this way, we can watch and route for the Suns with all the Spurs fans :D

Yeah, we are. Family oriented but still quite active. Most of our club events are in East Texas and Oklahoma, but we get down south occasionally too. We have lots of informal runs by members too. We try to welcome the newbie in a stock rig as well as the experienced folks in trail only rigs, so no matter your rig level or experience, we have something for everyone.

Clayton, OK and Katemcy Rocks are the two best places in and around TX for some world class wheeling in my opinion. There are quite a few other good places in Texas with more tame terrain.

but Escondido Draw isn't open yet. (and its near ozona, not mason). i'm looking forward to checking it out.

I gotta get out to katemcy, Had freinds go there last year and they said it was a blast.

Trees Ranch down in South Texas is always worth a visit, its got a pretty good collection of hardcore trails...and there is always Lucifer for those who want a shot at the bounty.

And the bunkhouse is not to be believed.

A few of us are gonna do a day run out to Boulder Creek this Saturday 06/21 if anyone in the area feels like heading out with us come on...

http://www.bouldercreekministries.org/fullsize.html

I've been wanting to check that place out. I heard the trails are coming along nicely.

thanks, but i have plans for the river this weekend.

be safe.

here are a few pics from Boulder Creek. I was the only jeep amungst a slew of Toyotas but hell someone had to be there to save their asses...:flipoff2:

This place is still new so the trails need to be broke in a little more but its coming along in a year or so these 2 and 3 level trails should be pretty good...

We've got a small group headed out to Long Ranch outside of Llano this weekend. Not sure if the date is on his website, but he's letting us come out regardless, $20/rig. If anyone wants more info, give me a call at the shop, 512-462-1881.

There are some good obstacles for a full day of wheeling, and he's on the Llano River so a little dip in the middle of the day is always nice, so bring yer swimmin' hole trunks! :D

Long Ranch is Awesome!! I might get a few from the Temple/Killeen area going if possible...

The more the merrier! We'll probably hit up Boulder Creek again in a few weeks too. Did y'all check out Krawltex Kanyon? :smokin:

Yeah we went down and looked at it after running Can Opener... Looks tough I might not be set up for it. We are talking about a trip back out there on July 18 - 20 I will probably just make a day run out on that Saturday... Man i just checked your web site out I would like to talk to you about a roll cage sometime soon. Not now cause i am poor but soon. I was looking for somthing simular to the PS full cage with some minor differences.. Bad ass site man yall have any shop decals?

I'll bring some stickers this weekend.
If you get a chance, come by the shop, my partner Cam is a UT Art Grad and will sketch what you want then build it. It's pretty incredible.

yall ever get any full-size rigs out there with yall to these places or is it mostly Jeeps and toy's? i would be interested in going with yall, just dont know how well those trails are suited for my full-size

Plenty of full-sizers go to Long Ranch. You aren't locked into any obstacles, just cruise the trails and try what you want to try.

I might be moving to Wichita Falls near the OK border for 11 months.

Are there any cool Toyota guys up there that actually wheel? :flipoff2:
I can bring my welder, torch set, and drill press if you let me park my rig and trailer at your house :D

Glenn you still planning on heading out? I am thinking about making a day run out Saturday ...

Yup, I'm still going. Should roll in about 9 AM Saturday.

ha ha i was there with ya that day too slink...

Theres lots of toyota guys in the DFW area. Check out theoffroadsite.com

Wow! I am impressed by the amount of parks and ranches that are listed in Texas that I have never heard of. Quite a few are a long way from Dallas, but they might be worth the trip once some more tails get developed.

that rock does look familiar......

that trail makes it worth the entry fee.

id highly recomend trees ranch, katemcy rocks and long ranch

I heard Katemcy Rocks is closing in about month. :(

I made it out to Boulder Creek for the first time today. I took the wife & kids along, and we all had a great time. There was some water/mud here & there due to recent rains, but It was mostly dry and rocky. Some very decent and scenic trails out there. I really enjoyed it, and can't wait to go back. Nice facilities & camping areas with power, water, showers, etc. Also had very nice management and staff. The trails could stand to be marked a little better. The map was fairly nice, but it wasn't great as far as guidance goes (there were a lot of trails not on the map, and it was difficult to figure out exactly where you were at times. This could be fixed very easily by better signage).

There were quite a few rigs out there, and we met several nice people while there. My 2001 TJ made it through everything I chose to tackle. We found some pretty good obstacles to play on. The only carnage for the day was a big 'ol dent in a nerf bar (which, yes, I am ashamed to say I have on my Jeep...but hey, it saved the body from taking the hit. I'm working on getting some money together for armor.). Also, we got into one pretty rough section where I had a tire start leaking (35 x 12.50 BFG Mud Terrains). I think I got a little rock or some debris in between the rim and tire bead. The rim wasn't bent, and it would only leak every once and a while as the tire rotated. One hiss each rotation. haha. It wouldn't ever seal itself back up like I hoped, so I found a flat spot on up the trail, popped the spare on, and kept on going. I'll take it to the tire shop on Monday and get them to break it down & see what is in there.

Anyway, Boulder Creek was a good trip, and my family had a blast. We'll definitely be going back. We didn't have time to make it all over the ranch. But in the short time we were there, we found some cool obstacles and really liked it.

Here are a few pics from today.....

We went out to Adventure Falls Adventure Park again last weekend (formerly called Boulder Creek). We were much less lost this time, though their map and trail markings could still use some improvement. Still an awesome place though. Great trails, facilities, and staff! Just my Son and I made the trip this time. We had an absolute blast all day long! We did lots of level 4 trails, and what we could on level 5's (after heavy rains). Great place to go if any of you get a chance to get out here! :)

That looks like great wheeling. Is there anything near Austin? I would be coming from AZ. Looks fun.

We're leaving in the morning for the WFTW event at Hidden Falls aka boulder creek. Hope to see a bunch more trails this time around.

some more from hidden falls/bouldercreek

Hidden Falls, aka Boulder Creek, is about an hour away from Austin. I don't know of anything closer to Austin myself.

muddyblzr, great pics! Thanks for sharing them!

Is that wet n wild in the last pic? If so that ledge has grown since last time. It was about 18" last summer. THanks for the pics the trails look better than our last trip last summer.

It is Wet N' Wild in the 1st, 3rd & 4th pics. And it lived up to both of them. It was after heavy rains. Was very muddy & wet. Lots of submerged obstacles. Ledges were all bigger than I remembered last time I went. That first pic was the entry. The water after that point came up to the hood. I wish I would have had someone with me to take some better pics along the trail. I didn't get many pics of the more severe sections. I was a little too busy, and my 10 year old was either too amazed to take pics, or was saying "let me out...now. I'm not going up that...I'll spot you". lol.

The last pic...the ledge, was actually somewhere on Snoopy I think....or maybe Midnight Run. It wasn't on Wet N' Wild. The ones on WnW were all worse than that. I can't remember exactly what trail it was on. I've only been out there twice. And that ledge has grown a lot. I went up it last time, and it was smaller. There was a couple feet of water in the pit below too.

man that ledge is just about gone now, that picture with the rock in your flare, that ledge used to be waist high if not more and undercut, not its a freaking walkin path.

boulder creek's a good time. we found some new potential obstacles and trails last time, hopefully next time we can cut'um

Yeah, its a cool place, and they're making constant improvements. Maybe I'll see you out there some time. If you're ever planning a trip, email me at t1motorsports@rocketmail.com and I'll give you my cell # in case you need anything while you're up here. Have a great weekend!

Yeah....that ledge wasn't too bad. There were some worse ones before it. That was almost the end of the trail. It must have been worse at some time though, cause I saw where a bypass had been cut around it. It was a little worse than it looks in the picture, but it wasn't too bad. How my tire wedged that rock against the wall and spun it up on top of my tire...I dont know. lol. It was crazy. There were some big rocks underwater there too (water was deeper than it looks in the pic too..a couple feet behind where the Jeep is sitting, it drops off). I smashed a rear shock tube on one backing up trying to throw that rock off the top of my tire. lol
