Anybody been Callalantee lately?

Anything happin' there?

Are they still open?
 
I went up a couple of weeks ago. Same old same old IMO. Trails looked the same, no changes that I could see other than some signage at intersections. Campground, office and bathhouse all seemed to be the same. Office was locked as usual. We left payment in the drop box. When I came back to the parking lot I ran into Hayden as he was going up to the cabins. Talked to him for a few and he seemed like he was stoned, very distant. Ran into Neeta at the office, she was collecting the drop box money. Tried to talk to her about the park and she seemed like she couldn't get away from me fast enough! Don't know if it was just me or what but they didn't impress me as people who were trying to make a going venture of an off road park! It was still open at any rate. Right now I feel like that's the best we can hope for :driver:
 
that is how I felt when I went earlier this year.To me it's like they have lost interrest.I'm planning on going the first weekend in july and enjoy myself and just keep it in my mind that any trip might be the last one there.

This sucks. Callalantee is a awesome place to wheel.
 
We went up few weeks ago the lady at the office said she was having money problems and that cant find ppl to maintain the trails not sure what deal with that is but it was 15 a person to ride and wasnt expecting that at all... trails all seemed the same to me nothing changed in last three years really!!!! I liked it the way it was honestly not sure which way its heading now? still great place to wheel if prices dont go up more!
 
looks like they are trying to make a better parking lot, i dont know how long theyve been working on it but there is a spot they have tried to make flatter just below the stables. Also the bathrooms are/were much cleaner wkend before last when i was there.


The one thing that still gets to me, is the trail markers.

I get lost every damn time i go up there, i would be willing to help or whatever it took, but that place def needs some type of better trail markings. The damn blue and green paint markings just dont cut it.
 
I wonder how receptive they would be to a giant volunteer work day.
We could even rent equipment and do trail repair if needed.

That was supposed to happen early spring along with a re-grand opening. I guess it's not gonna happen. I hate it I was ready to get it done.
We all have done alot to help out I hope they don't shut the door in our face. Time will tell.....
I love this place!!!!!
