Default WHERE DO U CRAWL?

I have always been interested in r.c. rock crawling and I was thinking about turning my e-maxx into one with the obvious low pinion, 4 big bore shocks, roll cage, high torque steering servo, etc. But I was wondering where I would crawl. I am in the central valley of beautiful California and I have yet to see a group or anything....now I could always just go find some "rocks" but it would be much more fun with some other people or in a competition.[:-]

I just found some massive sandstone *mountains* about 50ft high. I can hardly climb them so I hope my Crawler can go up them.

There's a smallish drainage ditch across from my dorm, I like to use that. It's not extreme, but you need a locker to make it over the terrain. So far, only my TXT has made it all the way across, without getting stuck (19 turn doubles, locked rear end, EVX esc, Maxx shocks)

In my backyard. Got about 20 old railway sleepers piled up with rocks & bricks. A bit torturous to get over, but fun none the less
