RE: Badlands, IN

Well, I went to Badlands yesterday... I have to say that it was hmmm...... AWESOME!!!!!!!

We had so much fun; we saw no other Hummers though, well just one H2 but she was leaving...

Anyway, my first challenge was waterfording - as a rookie I made big mistake by not checking the depth. Now that I think about it, I should have been alarmed by faces of all the people around us - they all stopped their vehicles and they were staring at us before we enetered the water hahahahaha. Long story short we got thru 28 inches of water!!!! Only after we got out we noticed 'CAUTION' sign on the oher side hehe

Other than that - no problems whatsoever. My H3 gets A++ for off-road capability!!!!!

BTW, do you know of any offroad parks closer to Chicago???

ZYNE and I are actually (maybe probably) going there on Sunday. It was planned but I'm still up in the air about it. It's a cool place. Me, HummerMike, ZYNE and jdrew all went there a few weeks ago, and they aren't really strict about alot of that. The only thing you need to make sure of is you don't bring alcohol into the park, and that you have a decent place to mount your flag. I had to use duct tape for mine, but am probably going to drill a hole somewhere for it. One of the guys at the park made a good suggestion to drill a hole in the rear tire bracket on the door and screw the flag to that. That's probably what I'll end up doing. I really don't want to drill a hole in the bumper unless I have to. The flags they sell you are good and they bolt through a hole that's probably about 3/4" in diameter.

Just to throw my $0.02 here.....couldn't you take off the center cap of your spare and attach it to one of the available holes in your spare rim? Mine is only held on with 3 lugs. This will avoid the need of drilling anything.
