Anyone interested in meeting up @ Shiloh Ridge in Alto Texas Oct 20-22nd? We have a small mixed group heading up from SW Louisiana. Some are getting hotel rooms and others are roughing it (tent/truck cab camping). Thanks blaise

This will be my first trip there. The others in the group have been before and they say that there are trails and some rocks.

I attend stephen f. austin state university in nacogdoches, about 15 minutes from alto, i have taken my jeep many times, and there are enough rocky trails to keep you busy for a solid 4-5 hours, the rest can be spent playing in the rock garden, the most intense obstacle to me anyways, would be without a doubt, the right side of helicopter hill, about a 300 yard near vertical climb with ledges and loose rocks. there are a few other extreme climbs, all in all worth one try at least.

Alto Texas was great with the exception of numerous ATV's and the poor bathroom facilities. This was my first dealing with rocks of any kind. People in my group were very impressed with the XJ. I was worried that my 32" BFG AT's weren't going to do well and that i would break the Dana 35, but i was mistaken. Another group member was running a V8 Grand C with long arms, all locked w/ 35's and i went just about everywhere he did. There are a few changes i want to make, but i definitely want to make another trip to Alto Texas. blaise

Next time you guys head out there, let me know. It'd be great to join some fellow Texans for a wheeling weekend.
