I find it best that we east coasters don't post pics on rocks, big as they might be to us, for fear of being laughed at <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
Bottom line is, leave the rocks to the guys out west who don't know what soil is <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0"> . Usually saying "it's bigger than it looks in the pic", is a bad sign... Don't flame me man, I don't know real rocks either <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Are you insecure about the size of your rocks? Im sorry but us west coast guys were just born with bigger rocks(some inhereited)so dont take it out on us we cant help it.

I still like my rock it is big for the east coast.I am sorry if you don't like my rock but it is the only one I can find to climb up on
I have noticed that the rocks on the west coast look like big ramps whats the fun of driving up a ramp

You havent seen many pics of west coast wheeling have you. Oh and the phenomenon you have noticed are actually not rocks they are called articulation ramps, but I can see where you could make that mistake <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

There are bigger rocks on the east coast. This is the go around.

Most of the really good Mountains are closed to wheeling but there is still some descent rockcrawling to be found.

Here is a big one we have just east of Atlanta.
http://www.stonemountainpark.com/graphics/granite_large.jpg
Here is another we drive on.
http://performanceunlimited.com/photos_trails/img25.gif
The first one is Stone Mt. Still trying to get them to let us drive up it and yeas there is a trail up it. My old man drove a motor cycle up it in the 60's
The second one is Gardrail at Tellico.
