Title: We love River Ranch!
Post by: bigdaddimjl on March 10, 2005, 08:58:58 AM
Hi all! My husband (bigdaddimjl) and I (Odie) are new to this site and we wanted to say how much we love River Ranch.  I see there is another bigdaddy out there that takes his family there.  We are property owners also and we just set up a camp finally after all these years.  Only for them to keep telling us the State keeps wanting to shut it down up there and take the land.  It is getting very ridiculous with these people.  Why have a bike if we can't ride them anywhere.  It is getting crazy.  Bigdaddimjl goes up to W. VA to the Hatfield McCoy mountains to ride if anyone is in to that.  I will post some pictures of the the last couple of years when they get back from this trip.  But I am glad for clubs like this that can show us in a better light so we can continue to do what we love so much.  Thanks and nice to meet you all.  Look forward to meeting you out on the trails.

No, I just want something to go muddin on so I'm going to sell the Rappy, get what I want and then keep an eye out for a basket case fixer upper. Actually, I have an LT 250R at the shop that I might keep once it gets put back together.

If you ever have any questions on any of the trails in the Hatfield McCoy Trail System, don't hesitate to contact me.  I stay pretty up to date on trail status.

Hi all, This is Odie again.  Thank you for the nice welcome.  We were at River Ranch this weekend for some nice riding.  Went out to Deadlands where there is lots of water.  We were floating alot!  Noticed some places have been fenced off and dug out now.  They are trying to keep us out of the canals I guess now.  But going up again this weekend again and it has rained here in Okeechobee for 2 days straight so it should be wet there too hopefully.  Talk to you later.

Post by: jayd on March 19, 2005, 02:19:01 PM
Trail- I can't remember, but I do remember at this spot there was a huge trail going vertical up the side of a mountain and a major mud hole.

:)

was it trail 10 or 12? I know its one of those 2
that mountain is close to the Gilbert trailhead.

this same mountain is on the cover of thier brochure too.

I think because we have always had the mountains to ride that we take them granted.

But we do have some awesome riding.

jayd,

That looks like the mountain on Trail 10 right before you get into Gilbert near Twin Hollow Campground.  Riders love the mud hole!!  

:(A lot of people have wrecked on the hill!
