Thought I'd throw this out there, some friends and I are making the trip down to the Badlands for a day of wheeling on Aug 26th. We're camping overnight from the 25th.

We're both very new to off road shenanigans so we'd welcome some experienced people to follow around for a bit and watch.

Sunrise and Sunset are the only 2 times to see the Badlands. It is truly beautiful . Lot’s to see and do in that area. Hope you have a great trip.

I'm an idiot, Badlands Off Road Park in Indiana!
Well my brother ,I was scheduled for an oil change.
I have been to ATTICA for two jamborees and a few times in between. I will try to get a buddy to tag along.
There is a variety of trails with different technical paths.
Good way to start my vacation.

Awesome! We're pretty pumped, been watching videos trying to learn the layout/trails a bit so we have more time to enjoy the trails vs trying not to get lost.

Would be great to see some more Gladiators out there

I just put 37s on so was wondering the difference coming from 35s.This will work out perfect.

Awesome, we're going to be camping on site, I think #207 if memory serves..

The plan so far is to make a pit stop at the Indiana Dunes park on the way down, and make it to our campsite sometime around 4-5. Then start exploring the morning of the 26th as soon as they open the trails
