My grandpa must have stopped by my house today (he is the only one who reads the news paper). When I walked into my room after work today I saw a newspaper article laying on my bed. It is the first positive article I have seen about offroading in a LONG time. It mainly talks about Croom, but they also mention how the sport is growing so fast with no where to go... I did a search and found the link to the article... enjoy!!!


THANK YOU TIM POVTAK AND THE ORLANDO SENTINEL FOR FINALLY PUTTING OUT A POSITIVE ARTICLE... YOU ROCK!!!

I think sending them/him a thank you email would be a good idea.

Good article!! I especially like how he goes into how much revenue this little park brings in-the most out of any FL state park-that's impressive.  Maybe they (gov't) should have/make more riding areas-whadda ya think?

OAS is basically relaxing and bringing in steady money more than likely.  And those two hotels probably get some nice added business because of Croom also.
