Installing the new sign at the Thunder Ridge parking area. Check it out on your next visit. The landowner Mike is shown here. Mike and Julie are good neighbors to have and quite nice - just follow those rules to maintain climber access.

Walking up to The Quarry @ Thunder Ridge.

V2s don't get much better than this. This block could host about 8 problems. <br>

The area beneath the brown wall has seen the most developement as far as bouldering goes. There are beautiful boulders all over the place, put on your adventure hat and find yourself a sweet line.

There's a whole 'nother Thunder back behind the Alligator Lounge.

This is where you leave the private property. Go straight where the road turns right.

Follow the trail when you find the skull.

The Mayor, hard at work.

Fading light on Thunder Ridge.

Stay on the road.
