Surplus City, Oroville, CA
If you've never been here, this is QUITE the place to see and shop. Not only that, this place is where the next W.E. ROCK comp is going be held in October, and where other rock crawl and mud bog events are held. Urban Assualt is the name of the rock courses, with names like Terminator, Mine Field, Wall of Shame, and more. And it's all part of this intoxicating military and jeep surplus store. Whew....Stac and I thought we were going to have to camp out there just to see it all.
Hawaii Gets New Off Road Park
Our 4x4 friends in Hawaii have a new off road park after a long time effort by users and friendly politicians. Persistance has paid off from off-roaders around the islands. Awesome news!
It's called Sandbox Hawaii (Sand Island Park), with 32 acres of off-road fun, and about 5 of those for our four-wheeling friends. A super-cross track is part of the park as well.
Mike Elliot, Founder and President of the Hawai'i 4x4 Association and several other helpful folks have been working on this project for some time and it's great to see it come to be. The park opens October 1st officially, so if you get over there, be sure to check it out.
Here's a news blurb with some video of the park:http://www.khon2.com/mediacenter/local.aspx?videoid=1606
My hat is off to all who worked so hard with politicians and government officials, as well as community leaders to make this happen.

Cheeks from Rock Zombies Takes Nose Dive
"Cheeks", aka Mike McMenomey from the Rock Zombies did an awesome nose dive at the NorCal Rock Races Saturday 8/15/09. Wow, the crowd loved it (and better yet, he was fine).
Rock Racing is different than rock crawling, and the action at Prairie City OHV Park in Sacramento/Folsom, was non-stop and a lot of fun.
