Devil’s Lake RC Crawling GTG 11/16/08
With a late fall RC Crawling GTG at Devil’s Lake scheduled for mid-November we were hoping for a good turnout. In the end just 3 of us showed up. Slick, Thumbman and I but that was fine, the rest of y’all missed some super crawling.
It was about 35 degrees most of the day but the [...]
Wisconsin Dells RC Crawling
Besides Devil’s Lake, which is about 12 miles south of the Dells and has awesome rc rock crawling areas, there are some intriguing crawling possibilities in the town of Wisconsin Dells itself. The sheer number of man-made structures that look appealing for crawling are enormous. Think waterparks! Unfortunately, most are not accessible or may involve [...]
Lake Delton, WI Crawling
There is a cool crawling spot near the Wisconsin Dells in Lake Delton. It is located behind the newish Kohl’s Department Store on I-90 and HWY 23. There is an exit from 90/94 right there but I don’t remember the exit number. I just parked in the parking lot right at the base of the [...]
Devil’s Lake RC Crawling Halloween 2008
I made it to the North Shore of Devil’s Lake near Baraboo, WI for an hour and a half or so today while the kids were waterparking in the Dells. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. Mid-60s and sunny. The trees in the park are way past peak but still have some leaves however [...]
After iHobby or Crawling Chicago - Well, Rosemont Really!
After the iHobby show I stopped at Micky D’s on Higgins and Des Plains River Rd. for a snack and saw that the big fountain/waterfall across the street was off and looking dry! I parked the van and walked over with my modded up Axial Scorpion AX-10 for a closer look. Sure enough, the pools [...]
SE Wisconsin RC Rock Crawling Spot - Estabrook Park in Milwaukee
I found another cool spot to drive your RC Rock Crawler in Milwaukee. It is located near Shorewood along the Milwaukee River in Estabrook Park.
I had just finished my Tamiya CR-01 Land Cruiser 40 and wanted to try a spot that I thought would be good for photos and a bit more forgiving than the [...]
Milwaukee Rock Crawling Spot - South Shore Park
Just south of the South Shore Yacht Club, on Milwaukee’s Near South Side, is South Shore Park. Just behind the extensive playground is a jetty/pier that extends a couple of hundred feet into the harbor and on this spit of land are rocks. Lots of them!
I found this spot to be more usable that the [...]
Milwaukee, Wisconsin RC Rock Crawling Spot - Bradford Beach
I don’t live too far from Milwaukee’s Bradford Beach which is on the shore of Lake Michigan on Milwaukee’s Eastside. I figured that the parking lot just south of the beach would have some rc rock crawling potential and I was not disappointed. At least 3 distinct types of fill to prevent shore erosion have [...]
