Sounds like im gonna have to invest in "mud" tires
 
I'd be in for the mounds. It looks pretty cool from the pictures I have seen. I'm open to go anytime. About how long of a drive would it be from Grand Rapids?
 
about 2 hours if you go to my house then there. i takes me almost 1 hour to goto work in gr and the mounds are 1 hour the other side of me
 
The mounds is a cool place, I've been there a bunch of times. I'm only 15-20 min from there, and I could get a bunch of people to come out and play. Its been wet for a while now, I bet the mounds is a giant mudpit right now /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

I don't know if I can get my truck out there, I'm busy trying to pass classes right now and it needs some work after the other weekend. But if this happens I'll come out there with my buddy, hes got an s-10 on a blazer frame w/44's...

Oh, if anybody needs directions, I can help. Also, if anybody wants to meet up before heading there, my house is only 5 minutes off of I-69, and via the backroads we could be at the mounds in 15-20
 
I'm from Owosso so it's about an hour drive for me. I'm going to see about leaving here Friday or Saturday so I can go this coming Sunday. I haven't been to the Mounds in like 7 years. There's supposed to be a bunch of Michigan Jeepers there too.

There's going to be Toys for Tots at the Mounds so you can get in for $3 cheaper (I think) if you bring a toy.

I haven't been to the Mounds in so long like I said, but I'm willing to bet it doesn't hold a candle to Yooper wheelin'. The place I was exploring today is 3x the size of the Mounds.

If you guys want to see a bunch of Mounds pictures you can look on Michigan Jeepers and Face Full of Mud offroad club's websites.
 
the mounds it is then ay. about two hours from my crib.now what day,month ? cool bro's /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gifto /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif
 
directions would be nice for me i've never been there.anyway i hope the mounds are cool for everyone. i'd like to meet youz guy's.can you hook me up with directions soon i'd like to go up this weekend to check it out? hopefully see some of you guy's.i should have my truck 100% by the time we do it next summer.i have to work sat till noon so it will be mid day before i show up(if anyone cares).like i said i'll be in a S.D. green,with boggers.cool man /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gifto /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif
 
Somebody hasn't read the whole thread or the replies I've given to them... /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif


Maps/address

This Sunday

Here is the jest of it: I'm going to see about heading out of here Friday or Saturday. This way I can probably go to the Mounds Sunday the 23rd. On Sunday morning there will be a bunch of Michigan Jeepers there. I probably won't be there until Noon or so since it's an hour drive for me and I'll have to prep my truck.
 
Maybe ill go this wekend to and lose my wheeling virginity /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
 
just stumbled accross this thread. I too am a MI wheeler looking for some action. just welded up the bedsides in the 88 k5... need to test flex. Man after this week of rain the mud should be glorious... what's the story on the mounds?(never been there) My K5 is a Daily driver so I don't want to punish her too bad... What am I in store for going there? It would be nice to run with a pack of Bowties as well.... what is the big date? I like Sunday....

Jeremy.
 
I haven't been there in hald a dozen years so I don't know what it's like anymore. It used to have steep hills that drowned out non fuel-injected machines. It used to have rutted hills that you couldn't fit anything bigger than a tracker through. It used to have offcambers that caused Heeps to tumble. It used to have water from mud puddle deep to 6' deep. It used to have bowls you'd get in and if you didn't maintain speed or got stuck you couldn't get back out of. It used to have (smelly) mud that claimed many vehicles. If you look hard enough you can find some tough obstacles.

It's basically a sandy area surrounded by lakes in Genessee County. I think it used to be around 350 acres (including the lakes) but I think it's down to around 100. But don't quote me on it. It's pretty much all trails with two "scramble" areas that usually were turned into high speed ATV and dirtbike tracks.

I'm waiting on some ORD disconnects from SCJimmy so I'll probably head out of here early Saturday morning (8 hour drive). That'll give me enough time to install the disconnects Saturday evening and check everything over along with swap my tires. I'm planning to go but time is a problem.
 
just a thing to keep in mind everyone. the mounds is closed from april 15th to may 15th. Its the best time to wheel all year i know. but in order for the mounds to stay open, it had to comply to this rule by the state. So dont set your date for then.

also there will be about 200 trucks out there on thanksgiving day. its a run put on by the Swampstompers 4x4 club. been going on for like 6 years. Ill be there as well as other friends of mine.


set the date and i will be there. i go to the mounds all the time. And I just moved even closer. i used to live an hour away. now i live 15 minutes down the road /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
sorry man,two of my friends that will be joining us stoped by and were talking s**t while i was trying to read your post.looks like we will have a boat load of people there, thats cool as hell. i hope we get fifty or more.when does everyone thats in school get out?so maybe we can close the time window a little. thanks /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gifto /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif
 
So what is the verdict? Do we have a date? I would love to join you guys, but I am busy this weekend. I've only been to the Mounds once and I was in mud up to the body molding.

Best not to go with A/T tires. Anybody going have a winch?
 
june sounds cool to me /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif. i really hope we get a bunch of people. /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gifto /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif
 
yea do we have a date?how does some time in june sound?could all pick a date that works for them and we'll try to hash it out. i can't wait to see how my truck act's with the lift and new engine. does anyone have a winch? i've never had one or used one. /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gifto /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif
