Lost your dirtbike? No, we stayed East of the river on the Lexington side. There was quite a bit of water in the river.

Yeah, it was my first time on that side of the river and was kind of lost trying to get to the river and it looked like an oversized puddle at the time, then my bike just started sinking. After it fell over all that I could see was the end of the handlebars. And after I went and found my freind that had my fourwheeler I couldn't find it, I had to walk around in the slush until I found it, had to use the winch on the atv to get it out.... Yeah, I know I'm the only idiot who can manage to have to use a winch to pull out a dirtbike.

I didn't realize there was that much trails on this side, I've always just took my jeep across to the other side of the river. But I can cheat, I know the people that own the land with the train tracks, so I can get in on that side too. And if I get stuck and I'm by myself, they have a duece and half to get me out. It's a good deal, :P

Oh wow... When you said lost your bike, I was thinking more along the lines that it got stolen or maybe you slid and lost control of the bike in the mud! The Sundog trails side is fairly recent I think - maybe 6 months or so old? This was my first time there and first time ever off-road. But it's fairly decent. They do have some atv trails that we drove through - found out quick enough that the 4-Door with a longer wheelbase and being bone stock could get high centered pretty easily on some of the mounds Plus, there's the sand by the Canadian River. I think they're working on some rock stuff for people that'd like to go crawling?

Yeah, I think it's only been open about 6 months. The owner said he's putting in rocks and stuff. I wish they'd hurry, lol. I have to resort to climbing dead trees stuck in the sand.

Now there's the kind of stuff I was looking for... makes for some good poser shots . Nice Rubi btw. Did you accidentally compress the picture sideways? Just looks a little "squished" Was that pic taken over by the Sundog Trails area?

It's on the other side of the river but you won't find the same log because it broke shortly after I tried to climb further up it. Yeah it's my iPhone camera, it took fish eyed pictures the whole day, but it's back to normal now, I don't know what was up with it.

Darn. Oh well. The next time I'm up that ways, I'll look around for something to try the flex on. Checking on some lift kits at the moment, but have a few other things to take care of too - so it may be a little while before I lift my JK. If I had plenty of clearance to take on some of the trails there, I wouldn't chicken out so much - seeing as the JK is my daily driver, don't want to knock the driveshaft or axle out. And the longer wheelbase makes it harder on the "pointy" mounds causing it to high center.

Yeah, I need a lift too. Mines stock as far as that kind of stuff goes. I high centered on a log with a sand mound around it and I hit the frame. I hade to get a duece and a half to pull it out.
