After talking with Duke he will welcome any size group that can be assured they can "self recover". Recovering full size rigs was an issue when he opened to all in the past. I would reccoment 4 rigs so you can always recover anyone broke or stuck.

Cool deal Kenny. Thanks for clearing that up. It's always a good idea to go wheeling with a group, regardless of where it is.

I used to ride quads @ Big Rock seveal years ago, before they ever let full size rigs in, and it was great. Had any type of terrain that a person could want. I will definatly take my Sammy-Thing down if I ever get it built.....:(

I have been there on my trx450r and i felt it was all field, dont see to much potential for the rigs, I may have missed something but to me a mild build would go everywhere there no prob. But hey its ground close we can crawl around on so to that i say thumbs up

Ther eis alot of wasted space in that 2000 acres that is field, but There are some very steep climbs, some smaller but very loose/wet rocks and some creek beds that I know of for sure.

I think a 4 or 5 vehicle minimum would make sense.

I used to ride a Banshee there. I am in for going with the jeep. There were plenty of spots that would be fun to crawl around in.
