Title: Durhamtown
Post by: Grass Janitor on August 15, 2008, 08:59:05 AM
The guys at Oconee Offroad posted something about this place on JF, what do y'all think, anyone been out there?  Seems like if the wheelin is good it would be a good place to go b/c of all the other stuff to do like fishing.

My buddy keeps wanting me to go out to this place. Evrytime I am home, I am on the verge of buying a couple 4 wheelers. I just have not done it yet. If anyone is up for going out here just to check it out, I will be up for it. Let me know.

My wife and I went there. Being that it was are first time out and our jeep was stock we had a lot of fun. Out of all the trials there were two sections where I had to turn around and go back. If I was with somebody else I would have given it a try. I have some pic's but for some reason I can't add them to my post.

I think you have to have 25 posts to add pictures. Not sure, but that's probably the deal. Glad you had a good time.

That's what I figured..........

I seen the pic's from RR. I wish we would have joined you all, it looks like that would have been more fun. Are you going to RR this weekend?

Hey ChuckieB and Mike-
  I have no true plans and I live just down the ways from this place. I will call ahead of time and go by there. If you guys are up for it, we can link up and go. I will get pics as well along with a no-BS report of the place. It won't hurt to have another option to get together and wheel. Let me know if your up for it. Mike, Sushi, beer and wheelin!!!! We got to do those fender anyways. ;DLOL!!

I think that's going to be the downfall for that place. Most other parks are $50 for the weekend, but that includes passengers and camping. It also usually means Friday through Sunday.

Everything they offer at Durhamtown is ala cart. Camping is per night, per person and so forth. It would make for a very expensive weekend if you took the family and wanted to ride all weekend.

I spoke with Mike when he was still building the ORV area and he was gracious enough to let me ride and preview the place. He has a lot of land and it has potential, but he made it very clear that he was in this to make money. I can't blame him for wanting to make money, but I feel that he would make more money by having more reasonable prices and attracting larger crowds.

If you all want to put something together I'm game. I was actually wanting to go back there this weekend and test out the new gears and suspension, but I think there's going to be more fun at River Rock so I think the wife and I are gonna go check it out instead ;D
