    Default Illinois: The Cliffs Insane Terrain



    Mid July I made a trip in the YJ to Illinois to see family and friends. While there I wished to visit some Illinois trails and The Cliffs Insane Terrain was the closest of two recommended. Here are some photos of the day (+me getting stuck in a mud hole +a jeep flopping to its right side).

    Cool pictures. Hope your Jeep stayed together. That looks like alot of fun. The trees really separate it from anything around here. The terrain is quite different and the altitude is to your advantage.

    This makes me want to drag Cracker back to MI even more now. Looks like it was a blast, and the lower altitude would be so cool. Great pix!
