[WillnFox]

Wait, what just happened?

 

[Infamous1]

Well damn...

 

[CasterTroy]

Just saw that as well....WTH

 

[Chris_Keziah]

Dammit Bobby! That sucks, one of my favorite places.

 

[McCracken]

Somebody's got the scoop

 

[WillnFox]

Not 10 minutes after the FB post there is already like 3 threads on NC4x4 about it....

 

[ghost]

So what happened?

 

[McCracken]

Enquiring minds want to know

 

[71chevytruckguy]

WTF! That sucks big time!

 

[Dylan W.]

That's the way it goes..Develope fine trails, close it down.

Forgot "lease" in that equation. Almost everywhere that gets closed the interest group doesn't own it.

Well this just sucks ass.
Yet another place gone...

This is terrible. There used to be four places to wheel within less than a 2.5 hour drive from my house. Now there is only one (Uwharrie).

I wonder if everyone will get the money back that just paid in to ride

Coulda sworn there was a pretty long thread a few months ago discussing the lease dispute on here. Didn’t sound promising then.

 

[CasterTroy]

Someone replied on FB about a pipeline going in....

 

[paulevans76]

Yeah, saw that a guy said the company he works for is using it for a laydown yard. Bummer.

And The Farm and The Shop...

I guess a pipeline pays more than a yearly wheeling lease. Damn.

 

[Jody Treadway]

I guess a pipeline pays more than a yearly wheeling lease. Damn.

And does little environmental damage compared to us...

I'm not in the Group, so no details here, but Yes, they Did loose it once before. I think with a lot of negotiating, it was Reopened. Probably no guarantee of the length, it would be open! You know it sits on Prime land.
