Apparently they will be open the rest of this summer.
As for as a hunting resort goes, has to be moron people planning on that. That would be the last place I'd wanna hunt deer on. It would bring the suck hunting in that rocky location compared to other areas more suited for that. Not to mention not a lot of deer will want to be living in there either. They will seek out better environments to be in. Not saying there won't or aren't any, just not a good area for a hunting resort IMO.
I talked to Don yesterday and he said he was definitly open this weekend and after that it was up in the air.
He said he MIGHT be open till memorial day and closed after that. If he has allready changed his story to "end of summer" that tells me nothing about this sale is set In stone.
Hope it falls thru....this is my favorite place in the state to wheel. I dont understand why he doesn't advertise to get more wheelers/events there. So much wasted potential there
Hate to hear it's been sold. Hoping for some firm info on the sell and closing date. Trying to plan a trip for June. Have some local friends going out there this weekend to wheel and get info.
I'm in Southern Illinois visiting the fiancee. She has a 100% stock WJ. Would this be a good place to come and watch? Anything light that could help introduce her to wheeling? What about empty passenger seats?
Placr gets worse and worse all the time. Use to cruise thur on my ramcharger on 33s with open diffs. Now im 40s and locked on both ends. Some of the crap now aint no way I would make it thur on 33s
There is an easier trail at the front of the park. Not quite daily driver bunny trail though. The access road to the start of that trail isn't too bad as long as the water has gone down to get into the park. It was running 38 inches deep a few weeks ago.
Me and a few others are headed down for the day sunday the 19th! Sad to see it go, i hope it falls through or the new owners have interest in keeping it open. I know im down to work to keep it open!!!!!
