Haspin Acres on the 25 of november (indiana guys)

[Omniboy]

Hey,
I have a few friends wanting to go to haspin on Friday after thanksgiving while the old ladies are out shopping. Any local indiana guys going that day?

We are going to badlands on the 3rd of december as well.

 

[DC5R]

I was thinkin about heading to the badlands also.

I'm going up with some of my buddies. There should be around 8-10 of us. I live about 20 mins from there. We're going to try and get there around 8 or 9. I'll be in a red Comache with a exo cage and fourlinked rear.

I think I saw you guys. I was there with a 89 xj. I brought it there on my ford rollback. I was parked by the shoe tree. I saw a group of XJ's with a MJ. That must have been you. I was with 3 wranglers.

I think you were loading up when I seen you. You have a good day? Ours wasn't to bad. A friend broke his ring and pinion the first ride we took. Other than that no one else broke. We stayed up there till about 7:30.

How was the clientele?See any drinking while driving on the trail, disrespectful and unsafe dirt bike/atv riders at all? I've been like 5-6x and it's hit and miss.
Our recent trip to Redbird was awesome, yet similar terrain in a way. I barely seen any trash, but that's expected since it's state property.
I'll hit Haspin again sometime, just don't know when.

Actually it wasn't to bad this time. We really didn't come a across a lot of people. But everyone we did was pretty well behaved. I've been up there a number and times and like you said its hit or miss. Most of the time we head to the back and you don't even see anybody back there. The parking lot is the worst. How far is Redbird from Haspin? I've heard about it but never have been down there.

Hey IndyXJ, I think I saw you in columbus a week ago or so at the hoosier parts on 25th street. It was a 97-01 XJ with a long arm setup.

I think you were loading up when I seen you. You have a good day? Ours wasn't to bad. A friend broke his ring and pinion the first ride we took. Other than that no one else broke. We stayed up there till about 7:30.

We had a great day. We got there around 10 am and left around 3 pm. I would have like to stayed longer but had family stuff to do that night. That was this first time out for my jeep. I just got this one 2 weeks ago and was up until 3:30 a.m. working on it thursday getting it ready to go. I think we are going to badlands saturday the 3rd of december this weekend. Sorry about you buddies ring and pinion. Hope you still got plenty of wheeling in. Well later.

 

[IndyXJ]

Wasn't me in Columbus, haven't been there in a while.
Redbird is in Linton/Dugger Indiana. It would be on the other side of the state. Took me ABOUT 2 hours from Trafalgar going normal speed.

 

[Omniboy]

Hey IndyXJ, I actually live down on sweetwater lake south of Nineveh. Is there anyones property close to where you live you do any wheeling?

 

[IndyXJ]

No, I wish. I've driven the XJ on the public side of Atterbury on the abandoned roads back there and the trails between each. Nothing fancy, but might be fun in the snow,etc. I think hunters use them mainly.
Sweetwater is pretty nice down there.

I went on Saturday the 26th(?) with another local XJ.
The trails were GREAT and I explored a lot more than I usually do.
I saw a couple other XJs there, but no real "groups".

Here are my pics:

Let me know next time yall go.

 

[87comanche]

Yeah its not to bad up there. I think we're going to try and go up again either somewhere around xmas or on New Years Eve or New Years Day. I'll let ya know when we're going. There is usually about 4-5 of us that ride together.
