Not to beat a dead horse.... But I believe the badlands has always had those rules written that way. I have seen other dedicated bouncer and ultra 4 buggies there many times. I'm sure you would have not issues taking your rig to the that park. If we decide to do badlands and pick a date. I think I can arrange a trip to Mission Impossible for the club.

What is mission impossible? lol

I totally agree, in the past we have had rigs break in mid afternoon and by the time we got everything fixed and tried to get back on the trail we are warned at the gate we are getting ready to close and then people to find us on 4 wheelers telling us to head out Long before they close..."they are not friendly about this"...I guess I would not be friendly about it either, I'm sure too many people have ignored the rules which has made it the way it is now.....Badlands will be at the bottom of my priority list for wheeling ANY time of the year.

The former owner of the Badlands private land a few miles from the park. It is about 400 acres and a full day of wheeling if you hit the good stuff. Back in the day they held a rock crawling competitions on that land, it has some mild trails and some extreme stuff. I can share some pictures and video with you at the meeting tonight if you want to see what it is like.

I didn't mean hold us up on the trail, I meant hold the club back, from hitting the big/hardcore/distant parks. You know, like:

:D:D:D

On top of the Normal schedule we use just about every year I would like to see this added if enough people agree and would like to attend..

ADDING Windrock for 2018 Schedule for June 14 - 17 if anyone wants to agree on that date...

ADDING Golden Mountain Offroad for 2018 Schedule for August 2nd -5th...

Has the new "Dirt Nasty Offroad" park been discussed? i have not been, but it looks better than their former park.

Also, what about Ivy Branch? Pretty large park and about 4hrs from Cincy.
Julian Rd, Julian, WV 25529

Or Hollerwood Offroad Adventure?
2096 KY Hwy 1036
Stanton, Kentucky 41301

Ive not been to any of the above.

From my understanding Hollerwood isn’t open yet.. but the others sound nice!

Actually, looks like Ivy closed up....again

Now we're getting somewhere!

Starting to pencil in some dates (and yes, I know I have Rush in there four times, this is still a work in progress...)

January 1st - Hangover at Haspin
Late Jan or Early Feb - Winter trailwork at Rush
March - ???
Late April - Rush again?
May 4-19th - Moab?
May 25-28 (Memorial Day) - Southern Shine at Harlan
June 14-17 - Windrock, Oliver Springs TN
Club Cookout either before or after in June
July 4th - Rush?
July (21-22?) Miami Valley Invitational
August 9th - 12th - Golden Mountain, Sparta TN
Sept 1-3 - Labor Day - Rush
Oct 6-7th? - Harlan, KY Fall Crawl
Oct 20-21 - CORE Tour 2018

Not til just now, but 2.5 hours for 300 acres is going to require some salesmanship...

Edit: Two different websites give two different addresses, rates, descriptions, and areas. Maybe 600 acres?

Yes, they closed Ivy Branch, but now Bearwallow is open to fullsize rigs.

One other thought: We should talk to Rich about finally starting some trail work on his new lot. See when might be good for him.

Good to know....have you been?

No, I have not. I talked with some guys who have been there and said it has a lot of challenging trails. They also told me that you must wear a helmet even in trucks/Jeeps.

Ivy isnt closed it just isnt controlled by hatfield as a park
You can still wheel it, sort of how slade currently is. But some people are not.comfy with that

As far as bear wallow, yes you have to have a helmet on even in a jeep. But you can get away with running a hard shell skate helmet. Rules say dot but they dont check or enforce it. As long as it looks like an axel helmet your are good.

Both places have some knarly rock trails

So where are we on the Schedule ?? I have to make preparations immediately or I cannot attend all the dates, hoping I should be able to make most if not all.

"Moab will be outa the question for me in 2018"

Can we move golden mountain to the second weekend in August?

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I'm good with that,... everyone else ?

Date has been changed/updated
If any objections please post up

For February list the Groundhog run like it has been in the past for Feb 2nd -4th weekend ?

It looks like March in the past most of the time is a non wheeling month..maybe keep it that way ?

How about Rush Trail clearing run for April 20th - 22nd.

This should fill in the blanks if no one has any more suggestions or objections to the current schedule.

I do believe Chris Hodgie says he knows the owner and we can actually reserve a shelter and show up on the day(s) we choose to wheel vs the open/ closed schedule. I know this is a long ways away but want to put that out there for people that may be I interested in this trip. Due to the pics and discussion I had with you and other people like Hodgie I am very interested in hitting this in 2018.

I'm game, just depends on my dads work schedule lol :d'oh:

I can make anything. When you all go to GM, I'm heading to Windrock or Royal Blue on my sxs.

Last year it was pushed back to SuperBowl Sunday. I left it off this year, in case we were going to try to do a winter Rush trip, as was discussed.

I'd rather do March than February...

And I'd rather do April than March. That'd be great with me, but there was talk of trying to do trail work before the trees filled back in.

Me personally, I'd rather deal with leaves than snow. :cool:


And I'd still like to try to get to Rich's, but that'll depend on when's good for him...
