Default Went up to Paragon Adventure Park in Hazleton, pa

Had a great time on Sat. at Paragon Adventure Park in Hazleton, PA.
Some of you have heard of this place before. 15K acres of trails for Off-Roading.

Was raining hard all morning but cleared up nicely by noonish.

We had 3 jeeps in our group:
99 Wrangler
06 Rubicon Unlimited w/ a4" lift
CJ7 project jeep with a fiberglass tub and a 454 V8

Some pics:

The first thing we did. The Rubicon went first.


The old CJ:


One of the easier water crossings:


We stopped for lunch off to the side of a trail and a big group of H1's roared by:



Further on, we hit some muddy ruts and the Rubicon got stuck:


The toughest trail of the day (it was an easier trail crossing a "red" trail (red meaning for extremely modified vehicles, i.e. rock crawlers)):
Our Jeep went first to pave the way, then we piled some smaller rocks up against the boulders to make it easier for the rest:


Then came the CJ


Then the Rubicon:


Then came the only carnage of the day, a bent trailer socket:


We saw a couple of FJ's playing around:


A Disco on his way up that first hill (second try):


More pics here

Nice pics Jeffy!
My uncle was telling me about a cave there, that they stop at for lunch along the trails...he said the temp inside drops like 30 degrees!

I saw something that was dark and looked deep, it was at the bottom of this huge quarry area.
