Off road in Hammond IN
 

I decided to do a little off roading between classes today. I took James out on a path off of a frontage road. All was well and it was a very easy road to navigate, one way. On the way back, I assumed that the dips would be the same. Turns out that was a very false assumption. I bottomed out the entire front end of my truck. There was no damage at all, at least nothing immediately noticeable. Hopefully nothing more comes of it. All in all, it was a fun time despite the minor (hopefully) incident.

I don't have any pics of the mud I got on James; my camera is non existent as of now... :(

Whered u go in hammond? Off of cline ave? I live in lansing and used to live in hammond

There's a frontage road that connects Kennedy and Cline. There's a little dirt path that cuts across the field that's on the Kennedy side.

where the apartments used to be? i know that area well. i used to do some offroading on the other side of kennedy behind the wendys and that motel. wasnt anything to exciting though. i do some carp fishin in that river also.

Go to 126th and Ave O (Burnham Ave) across from wolf lake! I had my jeep in there earlier this year, Coal Hills.....

Yes. It wasn't too exciting either, just something to kill some time between classes. I'll check out what's behind Wendy's the next time it's my turn to drive.

I may go and check that out. My 4 wheel drive isn't working right now so I don't want to do anything that's too much. I don't want to get stuck somewhere.

just turn at the light and follow the road around to the north... might want to check it out on a sunday though they are doing construction back there on the little calumet river. i havent been back there for a few years

heres a pic i took from back there years ago

Use to live on State Line Rd in Cal City. I know Hammond area as well. I miss State Line Pizza and Italian Beef Sandwiches. Now live in Biloxi MS.

How many years back is that? That looks like it's where the bike trail is now. The bike trail has been there for probably 10+ years now. You've got the railroad tracks on the west side of the trail and the 80/94 is north of it. That looks like exactly where you're at except it's paved. :(

Wait, is that north of the Little Calumet river or south of it? The bike path doesn't go past it for now. In any case, that's too muddy for my non working 4 wheel drive Jimmy.

Ya go up burnham till it turns into Ave O, turn left on 126th and go about half a block trail on left. There is mud by the high tension wires but 90% is dry slag hills. It used to be the Republic Steel mill, now torn down. I have some video of my jeep in there earlier this year but I don't know how to post vid on here....

BTW I had state line pizza last Sunday too!!!!! How's the za down south?? lolol

has to be at least 3 years back.. its south of 94 west of kennedy. its still muddy like that im always on 80/94 and always look back there. its basically just a access road. that road im on theres really no wheeling there but you used to go farther south and there was a bunch of land around the river but it looks like they dug it out

thats whats up i have been looking for a spot to wheel thats not all out in the open in the hammond area

Just drove by that spot 5 mins ago. They do have people woekin on a wall so go on a sunday

[quote=abig84;243408]So it's north of the Little Calumet River and south of 80/94? And for a really stupid question... What is "wheeling"?

I think I found this on Google Maps. Are there any no trespassing signs or anything? I don't like going places where I may get in trouble. I guess I'm a pansy in that respect.
