Yes we are,Opening a offroad park .We are out digging the mud pit right know, the bog is in three weeks.MAY15,2010. I well show the progress in the next few days .Were starting out with a mud bog first. And then were going to open the park up to club member only .then when the trails are made we will open it to the public.Here are some pics of the park keep in mind weve not touched the trails yet ,It was mined back in the 60s.Thanks Michigan Jeep Militia
I see a house in the background. You might want to go the legal route and get the permits/insurance prior to opening because it will be more of an uphill fight if you do it the other way.
Its in Battle Creek Mi.And i think Before we would have posted this we would have already did are home work but thanks any how(Clarkstoncracker)????Its zoned Heavy commercial.And we've already talked to the One neighbors and they cant wait.So Thanks for your concern.Michigan Jeep Militia
You say you talked to one neighbor, I would suggest talking to the township before you do much more. I have been involved with two different parks doing this same thing (subpoenaed to court multiple times for one) and an unrelated business going through the same thing. The township or neighbors may say its fine and they can't wait, but once you do all the hardwork and then they say no, you have no paperwork showing it's ok.
I am not trying to stop you from opening this, I would love it and it is the closest thing to me. I just want you to know it's not as easy as making some trails and getting an ok from a neighbor. As soon as you get trucks out there, all of a sudden "neighbors" miles away say they can here you and the dust is killing their children, and no matter how much they lie, they often win.
I sure you you get approved and open soon, I will definitely head out there as soon as you open to the public. Good luck:rock:
count us in for the mudbog. whats it gonna cost? just so we know and what is the address? let us know if you guys need any help this is as close to local for us as it gets.:woot:
Congrats, I'll have to check it out when you are up and running. Thanks for going through the effort to give us another place to enjoy our sport legally :thumb: :thumb: :beer:
******* All the wheeling we will ever need without 6 hour drives. Have fun bilding it makes the building way better. When you build something and your friends say Thats to hard , ITS perfect. Build it and they will come!!! Sometimes they dont want to leave though so look into Camping area. Look into state regs on that too. It is a pain to get but you will e asked for overnighting areas just as soon as you open. Be prepared for hundreds of new friend that want to help all the time . and Fudge from Gar!!!
I need two get a count on how many guys that want to help out for a few hours then play for few hours. This next Saturday May 8 2010 We need to pickup the front gate area. and put a few new fence post in .We have a post hole digger on the tractor. So it should not be to bad. Please call me if you can.Gordy 269-832-5266 or Scotty at 269-924-6838Thanks Guys.And if you want to help out the day of the mud bog let me know also? Here are some pics of the mudbog, we are making it so you should be able to make it threw. We don’t want to be pulling trucks and jeeps out all day long but we will im sure. It’s going to be a timed event. Three different classes’ sizes 32 to 35 an 36 to 38 and 39and Bigger.Ive made so it’s not to hard. But there are some 4 foot deep holes some where out there?:rock:They looked like a river when we were digging them? The water table is at about 3 feet.Im sure later in the day it will be harder to get threw.Understand that this is are first mudbog we have done.But we have talked to some guys that have done alot of events like this. So it should be good.To enter the event it will cost$25.00 a per truck and $5.00 per person, kids free from 1yrs to 10yrs
