To me yesterday. A good friend of mine Andy, formerly on this board as yellowhood, sold his S-10 hybrid and bought a quad racer. He has been practicing and been in a few races. He was in one yesterday just a few miles from me. So I went to watch him. It was a long course, it took them about 20 mins to run a full lap. So in between I was driving around looking some. I drove My Heep down there since it was so close. I noticed up on the hill a guy waving, looked around, and realized it was me he was waving at, so I was thinking, opsss maybe I shouldn't be driving here. So, was ready to take my scolding, I drove up to where he was. Sure enough, it was the land owner, the one hosting the race. He said " you are the fellow that lives out on the end of Goldmine Rd, right?"
I said yes, I am. So he continues to tell me a little about how the race thing all got started, and then told me he would like to develop a rock crawling area too!
WOW, now that would be great I told him.
He pointed off in the distance and told me to drive out there and see what I thought. So I did, come across some markers and wasn't sure if it was still his land or not, so I stopped, and turned around. I told him about it and told him I would come back another day and he could ride with me and we can scope it all out. Now this isn't a small track of land, there are several thousand acres easy. as a matter of fact, a whole mountain is involved!
So not sure if it will develop, or if the terrain will be what some of us seek, but for a land owner to open his land to the thought is a great beginning!
I will keep you posted and I am sure some input, some work days and so on will becoming.
I myself am stoked! something this close to me would be great with fuel prices and so on. And I know many of you would like new places as well.
So, until I hear more, be praying to the Four wheeling gods!
 
thats awsome!!!!
 
Woohoo!!

Having another private tract of land to ride on would be SWEET... We're very lucky to have the Devils' playground so close, and this sounds good as well!

Be SURE to let him know we'll "pass the hat", and take out everything we take in, on every ride!
 
I have a couple friends that race there Chip. I'm sure they would be glad to tell everyone about the terrain as they're always complaining about "those damn rocks":lol:
 
Chip, if you need another vehicle/winch/chainsaw/set of hands, let me know.
