 OK You have seen this before. Here I try to give you a short photographic tour of the track using pics of some key areas, interspersed with shots of some of the typical track sections that you will see on the track. I've compressed the photos as much as possible so that you with old outdated internet connections can still view them in about 30 seconds...I hope. Just click the pic. Enjoy.

First off when you come in, go to the right if ya got something taller than this.

At the east end of the levy ( past the start and grass track ) there is a down ramp and an area to turn around to go back down the lower road to the camp. ( to the left in this picture )

You'll come back down this lower road, after you turn around. That's all camping and grass track out there.

The start and the grass track ( about 2 miles of it ) are there in the flats under the levy...bring your umbrella, some binoculars, and the big camera lens.

fence.jpg (74155 bytes)

After the start, you head east on the grass track, under I35, and along this fence ( 5th gear ). Most of the open sections look like this...mowed.

 There is of course water to be crossed, a couple of times. The good news is that there's gravel in the bottom of most of it. This is where you go into the woods.

...and it looks kinda like this. Wide, hard black dirt, not too tight.

debris.jpg (77775 bytes)

Be careful though, this is a flood plain, and there is debris everywhere. Donnie and Phil and Jerry and the gang have done a good job of clearing most of it, but be careful.

Did I mention that it was "wide and Flowing"?

The hill.

The lady's, and over 35 amateur's alternate.

couch.jpg (63019 bytes)

When ya get tired there's even a couch to take five on. Yes we go along here, and yes, I'm standing in a foot of water that we cross, while I'm taking this picture.

Some of the best parts of the track are up and down this kinda stuff. Notice the flood debris.
