I'm thinking about going if anyone wants to meet up.

That sounds like a fun area, and not far from where I live. Can't go that weekend, but at least it's available the rest of the summer.

 

[highspeed]

Yeah they said it will be open every weekend

"$20 per half hour per vehicle/machine not through the gate by closing
•$50 min penalty charge for littering, including trails and parking lot
•$20 penalty charge for disorderly conduct

...We are not a law enforcement agency."

Disorderly conduct...at an offroad park? Isn't that why we go? jk.

LOL, yeah.......I think most ORV parks have these policies.

im sure ill check it out eventually.... $20 at an offroad park is a little high for these parts.

I thought the same thing, but I am gonna try it out and see if it is worth it. Its way out away from civilization, but close enough to warrant driving over there (20 Mins)

 

[Team Willys]

Im not sure I'd 20 bucks for a day at a park... Windrock, or someplace big maybe... but I don't know. Maybe if they have really nice trails it would be worth it? :dunno:

Go check it out David! Lol.

 

[PacificEd]

Funny you guys talk about $20 being too much. Me and a passenger could ride at this park for $25.

Windrock would be $34.
Hale Mtn was $30

It seems high when you look at a single vehicle with only a driver but put people in your rig like a wife and kids and it really isn't too bad.

 

[Team Willys]

That's a good point Ed, from a family perspective its not bad at all. And I don't think $20 is bad if the wheeling is good. Its just that in most "Parks" it really isn't all that normally. I think $20 should get you in the gate for the weekend.

Do they offer any camping or do you have to leave at dark? It says you will be charged $20 per 30 mins per vehicle after closing time? That's BS. If you break down and need help, hell you would end up owing them hundreds of dollars. Lol. They may not enforce that though.

My thought is they put this on their website to make sure you have "in case of" plans. But in all reality there will be so many other trucks there that can assist you, it shouldn't really be an issue at all.

I am pretty sure they allow camping, but I think there is additional cost to this as well. I want to see the place first before I decide to spend the extra $$$ to camp there as well. If push came to shove, I would just come back to the house or find a National Forest and camp there.

GAP in auburn charges 12 bucks per person. So 20 per vehicle sounds great too me. 36 bucks last time i took the waggy out.

 

[highspeed]

Well I have a choice...........go local or go to Cherokee Crawl..........

 

[XJ Stryker]

Go to the crawl and meet everyone. I so would if i would be ready but jeep is getting makeover.

Come to the Crawl this year and next so you can tell what kind of improvements your modification make.

 

[highspeed]

Well if I don't go, it won't be because I don't want to(read: work/money/wife).

I think going to crawl would be very motivating to continue finishing my DD/trail rig. Ill know when it gets closer.

 

[01yellowxj]

dont sound too far from me either. If i can get the jeep together and back on the road then I might could run down.
Bought a parts jeep and swapping out alot of things so not sure when she will be ready.

 

[highspeed]

Pix have been added to the website. Looks like a nice place, with alot of potential. I think I will go to the grand opening to see how it is.........

I looked it up and its only 20 mins from my house

 

[highspeed]

UPDATE:

The Management has asked for some "testers" this weekend. They will allow about 10 people to participate.........for free. I emailed them and they said to get some "friends" and bring them with! So if you would like to try a new ORV, let me know. They want everything from stock rigs to full blown crawlers.
