Thanks. I've got a few more, but am just catching up as my computer only came back from the dead moments ago. Will post them later.

Just in case someone didn't see the pics from our Sept ride in the park, I'm providing this link for grins ---> http://www.jk-forum.com/showthread.php?t=101310

It contains a couple pics of the map for those interested in getting a little feel for the park layout.

Just google Windrock OHV. It's owned and maintained by the coal creek mining company. It's in Oliver springs, Tennessee, which is north west of Oak Ridge. It's an awesome awesome place. It can be a little pricey, especially if the whole family comes, but it's totally worth the cost. They do a great job of maintaining the trails, and trail markers. They have a huge main, gravel, road system through out the park. So, if you're on the outer area's and need to leave or have an emergency. it's usually just a short distance from one trail to another before you'll have access to a main road. I've been 4 weekends now and still have so many trails I wanna check out. It's really that huge!

i cant wait to go again! I am looking forward to a dry DOORLESS run next time!

Nice pics!

The following are some of the great pics that a few of the other guys snapped. They're over in the Coal Creek organization thread in The South area forum. I've got more shots which I'll post up later after they're edited.

This was a long sloppy muddy climb. All JKs except the stock setup managed to spin their way up to the top.

Winding down one of the many trails.

That's me in the white 2Dr following "Just Grow a Set" (alias: TINMAN_2469) up this little hill.

Problem was, a bunch of chatter broke out over the CB when the rest of the guys caught up and saw this sign at the bottom of the hill (we had driven right by it without a notice). An orderly retreat was decided, and the two of us already up, started to descend.

I managed to escape intact with the dogged assistance of my fellow JK wheelers.

"Just Grow a Set" was not so fortunate.

Stupid replacement costs $106, so if any of you guys have one laying around, TINMAN_2469 would be greatly indebted if you could throw a good deal his way.

Lined up for a break.

Descending Windrock Rd.

Wheeling in the woods.

More wheeling. Note the mud caked on those wheels. Made for a few interesting moments, especially going through tight parts of the trail.

Convoying between trailheads.

One of the few creek crossings. Nothing major, but did help clean the tires a tad.

A great place to wheel. Everyone should check this place out. Trail 15 in the dry summer is fun and intimidating, but very manageable -- crawled right up the rock faces. With the slick conditions that come during the colder season, 15 is a real bear.

Did you all hit trail 3? I did that this summer for the first time and it was a blast...rocks everywhere.

dburgette, any pics of you guys crawling up T15? I don't think we hit T3 - so many trails, so little time.

Making acquaintance with a boulder.

When is someone coming out with a tie rod flip kit?

Every JK that tried T15 had to winch at least one time, sometimes more.

T15 does make for some nice pics though.

Hey! The stock rubicon made it up! It took both lockers though. I tried to keep from using them.

Yes you did make it up that hill . . . my bad. I was actually thinking stock in terms of street tires, but your Rubicon KM mud tires come stock and do fit the definition.

Well done - I feel a little bad that I just watched you climb, and didn't snap a shot or two (although I was shouting encouragement over the CB). You did a great job given how deep and thick the mud was near the bottom.
