For those who decided to WAIT to do Lions Back...Too late! It is now closed. It was sold to developers so they can plant some condos :mad:
Dump Bump (the alternate entrance to Hells Revenge) has also been closed and fenced off. HR can still be accessed by Little Lions Back but apparently the exit may be in jeperty since it exits behind Lions Back.
More Here!
omg, seriously?
sad sad news Billy......
well Tone... thanks for the good times/memories helping you get the ML up and back! Only wish I had the rocks to take the VX up there like I wanted... looks like the opportunity's gone now.
-biju.
That's too bad. I was already thinking 7 or 8 VXs on Lions Back would make a great calender cover for next year. Who knows, maybe it will open up again between now and ZuZu X.
Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Peace.
Tom
What Tom said,Iwas really ready for a group shot this year. Maybe we can bribe someone.HA
Lion's Back (that area) has been up for sale for years. I think a couple years back the asking price was around 1 million. I would think though, access to Hells Revenge, or no access will become a big issue with the town, due to it's 4 wheeling popularity. I would think they would make another or open the current one up after construction.
My .02 cents.
Wait a minute, is it currently under construction or slated for construction? Maybe if we sign liability waivers they'll let us use it in the mean time. :smilewink
Large boulders have have been moved in front of the entrance. The developer probably does not want the liability and like most developers is there to build, make his bid wad of cash and move on to the next project!Quote:

....And getting stoned... there are some smelly hippies in that town!Quote:

By the way I got that hitch installed, but I'm out in Hawthorne for a few days, so I'll try to get some pics up when I get get back.
