brazon valley offroad park is pretty close to you isnt it ?

 

[DieselSharker]

If I were living in College Station. That's out by Bryan. General Sam's is also out there. But that's a 2-hour drive. When I move to Houston I'll be 15 miles from Spring Creek woohoooo!

 

[DodgeMech]

spring creek is great, but you can't ride in the creek anymore

I didn't know you could get a pass to go wheeling out there, I thought that pass was only good for driving to the little fishing ponds, or is that just gonna be your cover.

They seem pretty serious about not letting people wheel out there, when I first got to Hood, I was by the PX in my 1/2T and a range control guy stopped me to ask if I knew about the fines for wheeling on post, like just becase I had a lifted truck with a winch, I was gonna go out there and tear it up. I've also had range control turn around and follow me down Elijah Rd in the back 40 while I was on the way home from work, just to make sure I wasn't wheeling.

You're right they are pretty anal. That's why I carry fishing gear with me just in case. The pass is just for that, finding fishing and hunting spots. And yes, having a lifted truck makes it obvious that you are playing back there but oh well. Gotta pay to play ya know. It really blows because back when Ft Hood was open to the public (as if it isn't now) they had a wheeling area between the old Turkey Run and Tank Destroyer towards Old Georgetown Rd.

Thats what I was thinking about carrying the fishing gear. The stuff about them stopping and talking to me or following me pisses me off because I like to think of myself as a responsible wheeler and try to Tread Lightly, but they automaticlly assume I'm back there tearing it up.

 

[DieselSharker]

Agreed. Unfortunately, just like everything else in and around the military, one or two bad seeds ruins the fun for everyone.

I live on the West side of Killeen, and I would always go down Quarry rd to do my wheeling. You could try wheelin out on West Hood, come in through the entrance behind Wal Mart, before you get inside the gate. Technically, you are not on Fort Hood, since you have not passed through an ECP.

Yeah, I used to go down there a bit too. Now that I live in Cove (for now) I don't like driving all the way out there when we have a ton of spots out here to go. Just don't feel like getting busted because most of the field problems are out this way. My roommate and I went behind WalMart a couple weeks ago for a quick run after work. I have heard of people getting fined out there as well. It is still Ft Hood just like everything out by Elijah and Georgetown Rd is where there are no ECPs.

Your still on the Ft. Hood Reservation though, the same if you were in the training area near Cove.

Dude, why didn't you just turn around and say that to me, I am 3 feet away

Exactly. Ft Hood owns land all the way out past the airport probably all the way to 195. A buddy of mine got ticketed out there too, luckily I wasn't with him that time. I did a leadership class out there a couple years back.

 

[ChinookFE]

Whatever.....


It was for the benefit of the group.

 

[ColderWeather86]

Sharker-have you tried talking to the guys at Texas Pro Off-road out there? I am sure they know of some local places you can go.

 

[DieselSharker]

You talking about that joint out in Lampasas? Ya know I hadn't thought of that. Oh well, I'm about to move here in a couple weeks anyway. I'll be within an hour of 2 offroad parks arty:

 

[ColderWeather86]

Yeah the place down 190, they have all those built jeeps with hunting racks all over em. Good group of guys, I went and dropped off a set of Dana 60's for a friend of mine at that place. They have some pretty amazing rigs.

[DieselSharker]

Yeah I used to drive by there every weekend and see their rigs sitting outside :drool2:
I've heard good things about them.

 

[DieselSharker]

Yep, got my clearing papers today. Terminal leave starts next Friday.
