Hmmm. We went up Gurley Pike (west side) then around to the north east. Everything was locked up and had Treasure Forest signs up. We went back to 72 then went north on 65. I'm guessing our mistake was not turning left on on county road 1 into the valley... We stayed on 65 for a while. Found a creek and some mud so it wasn't a total waste.

We had a great time at Hollytree on Saturday. They have only been cutting trails for the last 6 weeks so still lots of room for improvement. trails still need ot be marked and trail maps made. They are looking to cater to all types of offroaders..custom buggys, Stock verhicles, slightly mofified, 4 wheelers, and mud boggers. something for everyone.
It is a family run park and the owner is interested in feedback.

Nice pics from Hollytree! I went to Stony yesterday. I am completely stock right now so there was only so much I was comfortable with (pretty inexperience off road too). I was able to get the first few scratches out of the way. But we stayed on the green and only a couple of blues... That place seems a little more geared to the big jeeps and ATVs but we still had a good time. The dust was out of control though! A couple of pics for the hell of it...

I'm looking to re-gear, want to go to 4.88s. Rock City Offroad quoted me $1,450 which seemed a little pricey.

Can anyone direct me to a better option? A reputable shop or even another Jeep enthusiast that has the tools and the technology is fine!!
