Lauren ;) Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: T2 on August 27, 2009, 08:23:50 AM I have never done a Porker Run So I have to find out more details before saying yes. Im staying at the Brown Roof Inn in case anyone from the site is going to be there that weekend stop by and say Hi
Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: Durhamtown on August 27, 2009, 09:10:39 AM The Poker Run is from 9-430 and all you do is ride the trails all day with a map that has the location of 5 boxes, throughout the trail system. In the boxes are index cards, you tear the index card in half and write your name on the other half and put it back in the box. You have to be on the back deck by 430pm to turn your cards in for a poker hand. If your poker hand is a winning hand you win great prizes, and the grand prize is cash!!! You should definitely do it! You really can't lose.
I will definitely say hi when you get here. I will be here for sure. Lauren Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: shogun323 on August 27, 2009, 09:31:31 AM Don't worry about saying hi when I come. Will you do my laundry though?
Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: Durhamtown on August 27, 2009, 09:41:49 AM ;D I don't do laundry....but I can tell some one to do it for you!!! LOL

And For The Record, I may take the "Dogote" home it's still around!!!! Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: Durhamtown on August 27, 2009, 10:05:02 AM Who is this? I can't remember who I told we had a dogote......Lmao
Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: shogun323 on August 27, 2009, 10:46:30 AM Name is Wade. I was there from 3/26 -3/29.
Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: Durhamtown on August 27, 2009, 11:07:39 AM Well hi Wade! Unfortunately "Dogote" has gone to a better place. I can find you another one though!!
Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: shogun323 on August 27, 2009, 11:14:07 AM What!?!?!?!?! :'(
RIP lil pup!!!!!!!! (http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff16/heywade/dogote.jpg) Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: Durhamtown on August 27, 2009, 12:56:15 PM Is that him?
Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: T2 on August 27, 2009, 02:28:17 PM Alright the Poker Run seems like it can be alot of fun. Lets see riding all day long cant go wrong what that ;)
Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: Durhamtown on August 27, 2009, 02:58:59 PM I knew you would think so!!! ;D
Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: cd4mud on August 27, 2009, 03:12:49 PM I just wished they would lower the prices down or sell a family day passes. Evertime I go it is $90 a day to ride or $120 for two days and that hurts in these rough times.
Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: shogun323 on August 27, 2009, 03:14:12 PM Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: Durhamtown on August 27, 2009, 03:18:31 PM I just wished they would lower the prices down or sell a family day passes. Evertime I go it is $90 a day to ride or $120 for two days and that hurts in these rough times. I understand where you are coming from. (trust me) The reason he (Mike-owner) won't budge on the price is because he went 8 years without changing the rate. He has only changed it once. I will talk to him about doing a family rate and see where I get. I think that is a good idea. I just have to hear his thoughts on it and get back to you. Lauren Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: AintSkeered on August 27, 2009, 05:05:07 PM Compare DP's rates to a trip to DisneyWorld;
http://www.orlandoticketsales.com/oi/Walt_Disney_World_C65.cfm?s_kwcid=disneyworld|2092427624 Disney's 2-3x the cost of DP for any/everything! Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: Durhamtown on August 27, 2009, 06:34:57 PM The reason all of these resorts cost so much is because it takes a lot of money to run them. I didn't realize exactly how much until I was put into my position. Everything has to be considered when you are breaking down cost. I can't say that Mike will create a family package, all I can do is voice your concerns. Ultimately he makes all of the decisions.
Thanks, Lauren Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: Andy9933 on August 27, 2009, 07:03:31 PM That dog never missed a meal at our cabin,kinda sad that he is gone, I think the prices are real fair. Where can you go and have all that in one place,roll out of bed and go riding all day long. The trip we took kinda sucked cause it rained the whole time but we all still had fun

It looks like you had fun!!! That is a great pic! You should email it to me so I can get it posted to our website. Lauren Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: stacktester on August 27, 2009, 10:21:11 PM It does take a lot to get to DTP. I live in Jax and we go up every year the day after Christmas. Just booked a cabin yesterday as a matter of fact. I have a toy hauler but to me it's cheaper to just throw the bikes on a trailer and rent a cabin, plus I don't have to clean the camper when I get back. The prices for 3 days are like what? $55 for 3 days? I don't care what anybody says, Mike has a good place up there and we've always had a good time. He doesn't gouge you on food and CAT 55 is free entertainment.
My only wish is that it was closer. It's 5 hours for us. I'm looking forward to the trip this year. Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: apkkfx400 on August 28, 2009, 08:12:57 AM 5 hrs?? you're fortunate. Our drive loaded down from Orlando is approx 8-9hrs. Been about a half dozen times and look forward to every trip back. The trip there is not too bad. The sore trip back is not so great.

Im glad you had fun even though it was rainy. It's not raining now!!!
Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: stacktester on August 28, 2009, 10:37:37 PM Last Christmas was so wet. I bet Mike lost a few tandem loads of DP on bikes leaving. The 2 wheelers were really having it tough. I had to pick a bike up for a girl whe fell in front of us.

Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: SpeedQuest on September 08, 2009, 11:37:09 PM Durhamtown was awesome. The staff was helpful, the trails were incredible and the whole place was very well organized. Rode all day Saturday and did the Poker Run. Won lots of prizes and paid for itself many times over.
Sunday we took advantage of the skeet range, then went down to the rifle range and sighted in the new SiG 556. Went fishing later in the day and relaxed. Next up on the schedule is the RaptorRally Nov. 6th-8th at the MotoPlex! Title: Re: Durhamtown Plantation Post by: Durhamtown on September 09, 2009, 08:15:26 AM I am so glad you had a great time. Thanks for the feedback!!
