new area to crawl north phx

[cro-magnum]

It is at Cave Creek and 101. If you look to the north near Cave Creek as you drive down the 101 its in plane site. It has 100 ton boulders to 1 ton boulders that you can crawl from one to the other. The area is about 10 acres with many places to play. I only had one battery to work with and found 3 spots that could make great course's and I have only scrached the surface.

The sign says its a conservation park and lists it rules. It never states anything about remote control anything. Mostly things about beer and camping, most of the people out there were hiking and I did see some horse tracks.

There is room for about 15 cars to park very close to the rocks. There is more places to park near some business's about an 1/8 mile away

How to get there...
exit 101 at Cave Creek... North to Rose Garden... West to dead end at the rocks

Hey mark how have you been. I started my way to papago last weekend but I managed to get stuck in PF Changs Marathon traffic. I have done most of the stuff you said to do to my crawler which has improved performance greatly!!! Thank you!

That's the closest area to me yet. I'll have to check it out after the flooding stops.

 

[cro-magnum]

let me know when you go I might join you. I think you'll be happy with it so close to home. It may never be a comp spot, but I can't see any reason why not. I wish I could get some pics today but the rain never let up maybe I will get some with my old shop camera.

So have you called the number yet to see if we can use it as a legal comp spot.:idea:

 

[BroncoAZ]

Don't bring your gun unless you've got a CCW permit:


Sec. 24-45. Limitations on firearms possession in parks; exceptions; classification; definitions. A. No person shall possess or carry a firearm in a park of one square mile or less in area that is posted with reasonable notice stating the following: "Carrying a firearm in this park is limited to persons who possess a permit issued pursuant to A.R.S. § 13-3112."

no I haven't called the number I figured it wouldn't hurt anything for myself and some friends to mess around. Someone with a better feel for what a comp spot needs should call. I'm not the right guy since I have never been to a comp.
