So since the theme of the month has been to encourage wheeling, and I had the day off and the passport office is pissing me off I decided to put a complete list of places to wheel.

Maybe we can make this a sticky somewhere...if there is already a list like this then a MOD can delete this thread...i couldn't easily find one though.

Texas Offroad Parks

If somone knows a better way then doing it the way I did it be my guest...i figured i'd break the ice...

That is a great idea you have there.
Maybe we can have all of TTORA do something similar on Googlemaps.

This list of sanctioned/legal wheeling areas excludes National Parks, National Forests and National Grasslands, with (with a couple of exceptions below) are not OHV friendly:

Big Bend National Park (Terlingua) is well known for scenic desert-style expedition trips. There is a link to a recent TLCA trip here and information on the park here

Palo Duro Canyon is more rugged and adventuresome. Palo Duro has two scheduled runs per year: Jeep Jamboree in May and Jeep Challenge in September. If you enjoy wheeling and aren't xenophobic, it is a great wheeling. Contact Ann Christian of the Figure 3 Ranch at 806-944-5562 to set up a group run. Some info here & an article here

Here's another link to a huge list of mostly out-of-the-way places, I can't vouch for it being updated or accurate though: 4x4trails.net

Post up your thoughts and help us keep this up-to-date, I'll move it to a separate folder and stick it when you are done. :)

Were having a little shin dig on the 21st and 22 of Feb.
The Mud bogs, sand drags and rock race.
Usually about 15 to 20 thousand people show up.
On a warm year it can get as high as 45k.
It's a great big crazy week of "Hold my beer and watch this"
Lots of okies and New Mexicans.
I can't post up any more pic's than what I got. Not enough space allowed.

Some of the info is here.
