The flat part...

That's one of the flattest, most boring states I've ever drove through.

pholmann · May 12, 2017

Apparently beats living in France. :rolf:

Visa is 5 year renewable as much as I and the DHS want. So safe to say I'm here for a little bit !
Buggy build should start at some point, probably end of the year.
Now I'm focusing on finding a new place with a decent garage, doing good work at my new job and I'll probably buy a used rig in the meantime bc I WANNA RIDE

I arrived in Colombus this evening. I'll try to visit a few places tomorrow and Monday. See if I can find something. If you know of a decent location with a big garage, LMK

I kinda know that part of Indiana, wouldn't Louisville be closer than Bloomington? 100 times bigger city, and more BS but??

Bebop · May 15, 2017

Louisville is like 1h away yeah.

No jealous though, I can chase girls anywhere

Bloomington is only 35-45 minutes from Columbus. It has been years since I lived in Columbus but I don't think there are many touristy things to do there. There are a few bars :drinkers:

and there used to be at least one titty bar :cougar:

really close to Cummins plant #1.

Columbus is a little over 1 hour from Indianapolis and 1:45 minutes from Louisville. Tons to do in either city. Bloomington doesn't have much other than Indiana University. Brown County/Nashville,IN is about 25 minutes from Columbus and it is beautiful country especially in the fall. Tons of mom & pop craft stores and a really nice state park.

As far as wheeling opportunities, Columbus is flat and not much available unless you are looking for a mud hole. The Badlands Offroad park is about 2-2.5 hours away and from what I have heard it is decent. There is also Red Bird Recreational area(about 1 hour away). I have never been but hear it is mostly woods riding dirt hills and valleys. Harlan will be the closest extreme riding with tons to offer.

I am just outside of Louisville and would love to show you around this area if you are interested(might be able tot talk poolman into joining us). The Offroad Expo is coming up here in Louisville in a few weeks. That is always a good time. Come on down and enjoy the show if you have never been. They are not doing the cavern ride this year but they are having a offroad car show and party on the River Front on Friday night as well as a party Saturday night at 4th Street Live(always lots of good scenery :cougar:

there but my old ass is done with the club scene).

Hope some of this info helps. Glad you made it back! :woot:

Bebop · May 15, 2017

Thank you Scooter !

I will def. be at the expo in June. I know Marvin (one of the owners) pretty well.

I would be delighted to meet you and discover the place. Poolman is of course welcome, he's a suepr cool dude. Met him and his wife at the last AOP Hardline ride. Fun times !

Bebop · May 15, 2017

Ok, list of places to go offroading around that I found + how long it takes to get there :

Badlands : 1h53
Slade : 3h05
Windrock : 4h42
GMP : 4h42
Harlan / Putney : 4h53
AOP : 5h09

Quite surprisingly, Harlan isn't much closer than the other ones.

Any other place I've missed ?
