agreed Danny! This park was very well thought out. It had the wheeler in mind and Skip and Dean will bend over backwards for you if you need help. When I arrived Skip took me on a guided tour to get me oriented and to see my level of wheeling so I could lead and know where to put guys. This park is small but has a ton of great trails for mild to wild. I had a blast! The campsite we stayed at was fantastic. All in all on a scale of 1-10, this place is a 10. The house stays open 24-7 for people who need a real hot shower and some food or drinks. As Danny said, he also has a free water station to clean the jeeps! He has a huge air compressor for tires and has tools galore. I used his impact wrench to remove a wheel. Whatever you need he will help you get it. I fully support this place. the group we had was great too. Nice to wheel and not worry about breaking 5 minutes into it. ;D

Tony busted a rear shock


definitely a great weekend.  The weather was perfect and the trails and rocks were killer.  I enjoyed the company as well, thanks to all for a great weekend.  My pics are uploading, I'll post a link in the photo thread.

Also, strangely enough, even though the rear shock tube is more than halfway collapsed, it still cycled and worked normally...not sure how but it did.

We had an awesome time, wasn't really sure what to expect since it was our 1st ride EVER.
Normally my wife hates anything that I do but she actually had fun & said she would do it again! We will be back, I have a whole new list of things I want to do to the jeep. Thanks to everyone who helped us out on the trails, I learned a little & can't wait to learn more. Maybe next time I can keep my wife awake later than 9:30 & we will try it in the dark.;D

Every ride should be like this one... weather, trails, good company. And only a few minor-ish breaks. I really enjoyed the night rides. Going down the creek bed last night was amazing!

It's nice when you have the park basically to ourselves! You can go the wrong way on all the trails to liven it up. The creek in reverse is more fun than going up, maybe ;D Heartbreaker from the top is also alot of fun in reverse. I am ready to head back to this place. I talked to Skip and told him we would be willing to help him out for events and such and he told me he would let us ride and stay free if we did.  {cheers2}

That was my 3rd time going there and it keeps getting better each time.
I'm just sorry I broke something mid day on Saturday and had to leave...

Kevin, you got your monies worth...especially that hill climb to the for left of 3D.  That was awesome.

Did you figure out what may have broke?
