| THE FARM |
| The Farm Clark one of my good freinds has some property north of our hometown and gratiously let us use it through out high school. His parents actually own it and I thank them too for letting us tear it up in search of some weekend fun. The farm is a place that we can go out and basically do anything we want that we would usually get the cops call on us in the city. Potato guns, bonfires, trashing cheap cars, bulldozing trails and bogs, building jumps, loud music and tons of four wheelin are just some of the things we do out there. Yeah we tried these things in the city, but for some reason people don't like bogs in their front yard or patato guns goin off after 10PM. |

| THE OMNI The Omni was a almost perfect $75 car that needed a water pump. Clark had a couple of these water pumps lying around and so we slaped one on and drove it home. He was thinkin of putting a turbo 2.5 motor in it but it quickly became a farm car. It is amazing what a Dodge Omni can do off road if you really try. It only major stuck was when it fell through some ice in the creek one night. But after some ice melted away we drove it right out. The hug U shape in the back occurred while trying to do reverse donuts and hitting a tree dead on at about 45 mph. We tried taking the doors of by driving backwards up along some trees but they just kinda bent forward. We did roll it a few times and and some wheels came off so it then became a test crush car. Thats what a CAT trackloader does to a vehicle. |
 |
| Ah, our beautiful bog. The trackloader dug about a 6' hole that was about 30' long and then we filled it back in with mud. My cherokee has been one of the few vehicles that made it through in full glory, but I did have a pretty good run at it and the cherokee is so light it just kinda floated across it. |

| The Ramcharger The Ramcharger was the first farm truck. Clark bought it plus a whole bunch of parts for $700. It had D44 front and rear with a 400 big block infront of a TF727 infront of a NP203 and some 31x10.5 BFG All-terrains for "meats" It did pretty good off road and had plenty of torque. One January 02 day when it was acutally 60 degrees outside my friends and I were having offroader's winter withdraw and decided to do some off roading. By the end of the day this was the Dodge's final resting place and will be probably forever. Rest In Peace Ramcharger |

| Clark goin off on or the jumps we made with the trackloader |
 |
| The Chero tryin to find a new entrance in to the creek |
 |
| The infamous creek at max hieght during the spring. Its pretty good off roading for central IL because of the rocky bottom, most creeks are just all gumbo mud. It is not recommended for winter off roading though, not a good idea! |
 |
| A view of another not so legal off roading spot called Chillepits |
 |
| The chillepits has a good mixture of sand dunes, trails, some small rocks and hill climb. Most of it is used by 4wheelers though so most then trails aren't very big. |
