?? We just ran the general trails to get a view of the park before we go back down to help develop some real trails. Didnt really hit any "hard" trails. But trust me, some of the stuff we'll be developing and clearing will be "real". Just watch out though, you might slice a tire...or two...:p

Right now in development is a tough truck challenge including mud pits, log pits and a few tire pits ranging from small car tires to huge tractor tires. Carwash, it could be a nice place to test out your rig before you go out west and break it in front of the world :D

Brad, the 4x4 playground over there has tractor tires, a car tire pit, and a log pit that's been there for years, are you planning on moving or adding to this??

When I spoke with Duke he was just talking about adding the mud pits down on the east hill where the quads have already dug it up pretty deep, maybe for a tough truck challange type thing like HnH was doing. They also have a make-shift quad circle track on the east hill.

Stuff will be added. He has a great base for the Tough Truck Course, now it just needs to be refined, a few nice mud pits added, the log pit needs to be dug out a little and then it taped off for the course. Right now most of the place is either general trails through the hills and fields, or some really tight ATV stuff in the back from when it was still an ATV place. While we were riding we saw all kinds of old ATV race course markers and signs.

There are numerous, NUMEROUS amazing hill climbs just covered in rocks and roots that will definitely be challenging, even for built rigs. The main trail is going to be opened up a bit so riders can pass and the current ATV trails (which are really nice and techincal) will be widened up as well. The biggest thing we plan and hope on doing is numbering/marking/rating all the trails, that way when you come to ride you know where the easy/moderate/advanced stuff is, as well as where the main trail goes and where the different parts of the tough truck course are.

It will definitely be a work in progress, thats for sure. But with some time and man power its gonna be an awesome place. There is so much room there and Duke (the owner) is very excited about everything and very open minded.

The opening day is March 6th and we hope to see everyone there!

I would love to see just a couple of pics of the potential I keep hearing about.. I road there on ATV's a couple years ago and never saw much ... it was fun but seemed like fields and tractor trails.

I'll be there on opening day for sure..unless it muddy then I'm out..:D

These are back on 06

Yep, I've known Duke for years, since he opened the park, rode KX250s out there for a while. MuddyBuddy's (I'm a member with them as well) wheeled club rides last year (I talked Duke into the organized riding). If you know Duke you'll know the issue after the first season open to trucks and Jeeps. So the organized riding makes those issues go away.

MB is setting up a big Jeep Jamboree type weekend for this summer.

Hope to hook-up and ride with you guys sometime, sounds positive all the way around.

Is there a cream for that? :eek: :rolleyes:






jk ;)

WOW, I can just feel the love.... :D

I fell there is some potential there just get it going and open it up and keep family friend and safe for all and I think it will be great! make some good challenges for all...

Are the truck trails wide enough for Hummers? Actually I should be asking if the more difficult trails are wide enough for Hummers? I'd hate to go out there and find that all the really fun stuff is still a squeeze for Wranglers etc.... Also how are you comming along with the trail markings/rating and maps?

What is the policy on alcohol there? One thing I cannot stand is all of the drunks at Haspin. Haspin is the only offroad park I have been to where almost everyone wheeling is completely hammered.

Right now the "fun stuff" is still pretty tight. It has been an ATV park for years. We will be cutting and widening, I for one wasn't dedicated enough to do it in the snow.

The consensus is to try like hell to keep it from becoming another Haspin. The "No Alcohol" rule is step #1 towards that end.

How hard would it be to sneak beer into the park?

Oh please do so we can have you arrested.

thats why you pre-make jack and coke 20oz's! lol

well if you can not go wheeling with out drinking maybe you should just not go to this kind of park then.

Yep, I hear Haspin's nice! :rolleyes:

Robert

Dont get me wrong I enjoy a few beers as much as the next guy. But seriously, have some respect for the park owners and their rules.

If I saw you on the trail having a cold one with lunch or in the lot at the end of the day I could care less. But it's they guys that drink all day while they are wheeling that I cannot stand. Thats totally dangerous and irresponsible.
Not to mention that drinking and driving is also just as illegal off road as it is on road.

Yeah man,even when you choose not to drink and wheel...

Save the drinking for the campfire.:cool:

Nick

Will it be approved to have an adult beverage at your campsite? Or is it banned from the park all-together?

I live in a dry county but I can have a drink at my home. This would basically be the same principle as long as I am not operating a motorized vehicle or causing a public disturbance. :beers:

Don't ruin your Jack with Coke. Just put it on the ROKS!!

rock
 

nice..if you are successful at it twistedzuk, let me know and i will meet up with you at lunch...:beers:

Here, Here... X10 on that!!!!

These are the same type rules that Badlands has always had. Duke has also always had this policy since he opened years ago for ATVs and bikes.

x2!!!! or if you need a bail outta jail while tryin to do so look us up...we help you out!!! :beers: :beers:

Can I have a beer while web wheeling or is it going to piss some people off??
