Default New Rock Crawling course for SoCal!

Azusa canyon OHV in Southern California, is in the process of building a new area dedicated just for rock crawling. The pictures do no justice to how insane these courses are going to be. I got to talk to the developer there and he told me Azusa OHV has become a dog over the years and they are trying to attract the public once again. Its open now to whoever wants to try it but it is not complete due to recent rain fall.The cool thing there is they have concrete poles through out to attach a winch cable if u did manage to get stuck! Courses vary from mild to where my 4" of lift w/ 35" tires had clearance issues, to extreme, where your crawling over freeway center dividers and massive boulders. Each area is separated and concrete has been used to bound the course together.

Is there a reason why the course is being built right next to the entrance? As if it doesn't get backed up enough already. Still... will def check this out once it's completed. It's only about 50 miles away from me.
