Trail Report:
With the Bear Wallow trip canceled, there wasn't an official ride this month, but a couple of us still managed to get out:

- Haspin Acres Daytip, Aug 10th
Nothing fancy, just a half dozen of us getting out for the day. We did recover a CanAm that had flipped himself into a tree, so that was exciting.

- Athens County Crawlers Open Ride, Aug 10-11th
Les made the trip to ACC to check out a new opportunity. It's the club's private land, that they open up to the public a few times a year. He says the trails are still pretty "fresh," but have a lot of potential once they get worn in a bit. Definitely a place to watch.

Upcoming Events:

- Hollerwood Park, Stanton KY, Aug 30- Sept 2nd
We've decided to try something new this Labor Day, we're headed to Hollerwood. This is 2,500 acres in and around the old Slade trails. But now, it is privately leased land, so rigs are no longer required to be licensed and insured.

Jeff has had a number of coversations with Keith, who's running the show down there. He is very eager to have us down, and is making the investments needed to make it a premier destination. The park has a lot of potential, and we're excited to go check it out.

Most of us are headed down Friday night, wheel Saturday, and then (hopefully) hold our Club Cookout on Sunday. (This was supposed to happen at Rush on 4th of July and fizzled...)

The address where we're meeting and camping is 2096 KY 1036, Stanton KY, 40380. Google shows it as 142 miles from downtown Cincinnati, but since it's almost all highway, only two hours and ten minutes drive. They don't offer a daily pass, but it's $40/mo or $75/yr.

More info on the trip can be found on our forum here, and about the park on their website here.

- Black Mountain, Harlan KY, Oct 4-6th
Another fall tradition, mark your calendar...

- CORE Tour 2019, Nov 1st-3rd
We're still trying to make this happen, but it's getting hard to find a venue. Two parks in three days is probably going to involve a two hour drive in between. Look for a discussion thread soon.
