Default Where do you crawl?

I thought I'd start a thread for folks to post pics of, or describe, where they run their crawlers - whether it's just for fun, or for competitions.

I have a recently finished CR-01 for "just fun" crawling, and figure if I see places where other folks run, it will give me ideas that I may not have thought of to run mine. Crawling is new to me.

Really I find anything to crawl. Used to have an awesome sand pit near me but it got shut down. Have a buddy that grabs rocks from construction sites every now and then and puts them
in a corner of his yard so we can always crawl there and enjoy a cold beer. Really a good time is just find some woods and do some trail busting, especially if you find a little creek bed or something.
All my crawlers are just for fun, nothing too serious.

Here's where I've been crawling at lately, but I'm always on the lookout for interesting ideas. Thanks for sharing!

The land here is pretty flat really. But there is a closed down robinhood flour plant near by. out behind it is a waist land of rocks and concrete and rail road ties. Also over the past couple weeks I've been building a spot in my yard. It's a 10x12 foot spot with a couple bridges, so it's been pretty fun. I'd like to go a bit bigger though.
