How was it? I wanted to stay but with how it was looking I wouldn’t have been able to make it back in time for dinner date with the wife

It was cold and the ground was frozen but there were some good trails.

There were some mud pits and if it wasn’t so cold it would have been really muddy

It was great getting to meet some of yall, as I have been wanting to come out and ride with yall for years! Now I'm going to have to become a Core member and go on some of these other rides.
It is 99 percent red clay trails. They had three small rock piles to play on. It would be cool if they replicated what some places in the pacific northwest do, and dump a bunch of rocks and concrete on the trails to create rock crawling trails and not just have mud holes. I was definitely happy the ground was frozen, as I did not have my doors on and would have been covered in mud.

Definitely better than forest service roads, but nothing crazy.  Great place for beginners and SXS.  Some beautiful views from some hilltop clearings, and it's a pretty big place.  It was cool having a store (motorcycle and SXS stuff primarily), rentals, and a restaurant/bar there.  They got slammed at lunch and it took two hours to get food and eat, but no one seemed to upset and we all had a couple of beers.  They must've dumped a ton of money in that place.

We scooted around the trails. We hit every "hard trail" and I stayed in 2wd. Pretty sure I widen a few trails. The staff were super friendly and nice. The restaurant and all the facilities were very nice.  The cook was definitely hating life at lunchtime. My patty-melt and onion rings were very good.

Perfect place for motorcycles, 4 wheelers, and SxS's.

Did you guys find Chimney or the Waterfall?  Getting down to the waterfall and coming back up was the most challenging thing we did.

That sounds badass. I wish other rock parks would have these amenities. Especially a gear store. I recall Durhamtown having a nice store and restuarant like that too.

We pulled in for lunch, and I saw your jeep, at least I thought it was just based on seeing it here, and we have never met, so I wasn’t really sure what was going on. We did not see either of those, I did see there was a black trail that went up to the top of the mountain down on the bottom end and wanted to try it but we had some smaller tire guys and didn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable.
