Maybe 1 or 2 spots

OK, A little help on this.

Barnwell & the Spring Qautrely are the same place. Gilmer. Do a search on Gilmer, They have a website.

That's all I know.

However, once the truck is running I would like to Explorer the other sites you mentioned.

Thanks Rob

NPI and Padre Island National Seashore are the same place. About 15 miles from Corpus a long stretch of Beach that only 4x4's can go on. Takes about 3 hours to get to the end. Not really good wheeling, more scenic.

Anymore Texplorer's run in the making? Something other than the Slabs?

Mudd,

I'm in N. Houston area. Spring Creek is okay if you don't mind a little custom pin striping. Lots of narrow trails and water crossings. It's still fun.

242 is a nice place to go but lately the young punks have been trashing it up so the law is always guarding the bridge entrance. I've heard if you stop and talk to the cop and tell him you're there to do some responsible wheeling, don't have any alcohol and bring a couple trash bags to help clean up he’ll let you pass. If not there's a secret back entrance.

Also, there's so much new construction up here I usually hit one of the local neighborhoods-to-be for some mudding fun. Shoot me an email next time you're up for some wheeling...

You're in Luck! There's an Arlington Chapter of TX4x4 that knows pretty all of the D/FW trails. The Website is http://arlington.tx4x4.org and membership is free. I personally like it better than brand specific clubs, because you can wheel with a wide variety of vehicles. And even if you don't join, there are directions to a couple of the good places on the web site. Hope this helps

I will check out that site - thanks for the info

Spring creek (North of Houston) is right out my back door, literally. I've taken a '01 F150 2wd out there, and not gotten stuck so it's not too scary, also my friend has gotten his 2wd 93 Limited back there with no problems. But there is one section called devils hole, and it has swallowed many a bad ass 4x4 vehicle, I'm not sure I would take any truck into it, friends with sweet 4wheelers have had to be pulled out.

 

[Randall]

what kind of wheeling can be had at Spring Creek?

 

[FordLover]

well, there is a spot I promise that you and just about every other 4x4 would have to be towed out of, but most of the spring creek area is just that, a creek. you can drive up and down the 'beaches' and in and out of the water. there is quite a bit of sand in the area. It gets extreamly busy durring the right part of the year on the weekends, I've heard of damn near traffic jams down there, as they watch people attempt the devils hole.
there are several trails down there that are kinda tight, and lot's of water. Most of the crap can be avoided tho, as I have taken my truck down there, with out pin striping it up, and also took my mothers '00 Mountaineer that was 1 months old at the time with temporary tags still on it to pull a jeep out of a sink hole. I had to stop a few times and bend some branches, but nary a scratch on it, but it was pretty dusty.
