We gonna have camping, it's about an hour & a half from Jax, just take 10 to exit 258

gettin back on topic what is the big white line on the map ? (road,creek,boundary)
& again congratulations on your purchase.

Thanks, one of the white lines is the main rd in, the others are trails.

Thanks to everyone else for the comments.

I keep saying it, but there is NO reason we can't get a number of these type of parks open all over the State.

Thanks, we would love some help this weekend.

Anyone is welcome to come up and put in their 02 cents, drive around and laydown some trails, test out the tracks etc.

We will be there all weekend.

Anyone way down south want to run up there this weekend? 

[Ida_Mann]

next couple of weekends are out for me, but I do plan on running up there sometime soon.

I may forget Durhamtown and just go there instead.

  This is awsome!! You should setup some kind of donation fund, and when you get enough, buy more land for expansion. I gaurantee you'll get a lot of support!!

Let's come up with some ideas.

Everybody who has visited my park so far has commented on how a properly laid out 200 acres can cater to all of our different styles of riding, yet still provide a fun day/weekend.

If there is enough interest we could set up a corporation and do the next one jointly.

Great job Paul    . Dreth had been telling me about you doing this for sometime now. I for one would like to say "Thankyou" for giving us another opportunity to enjoy our passion. And just like Ida said, I was telling Dreth this past weekend while he was on his way back home that we had better stop there before we make a trip way to Durhamtown 

[Ida_Mann]

I know you may have answered this already, but are there some hotels nearby and maybe some way for me to lock up my quad?

I don't have access to my enclosed trailer right now so the quad would be going in the back of my truck.

   Think about how much revenue they make at Croom. I don't think anyone would object to a small fee for a new and improved riding area.
    You could also find vendors to setup locations for food so people could just get there and ride and know there's food there already.
   I'm sure there are a lot of members that are contractors that would be able to assist in building some kind of restroom, and camping facilities.
   Not to mention finding a shop to sponsor you to have onsite tools, gear, and parts like OAS.
   Sign me up, this is the possible start to a riding Disneyworld!!

We have a massive steel trailer that we can store your quad in 

There are 4 motels and 2 nice campgrounds within 5 minutes from the park.

We will have camping there, eventually cabins too, but at the moment we are concentrating on getting the riding right.

Look forward to seeing you there Rob. Dreth finished the one way trails today and he claims there are not many who could do the whole circuit.  We started on the mx track, but had some earth moving problems, so that is being set back a few days, should be ready by wed/thursday, everything else is going full steam ahead, the peewee track will be finished tomorrow. The Utility X-Treme course, will also be finished this week.

Where exactly is this riding area? How far is it from St. Petersburg?

I like the idea about building rest rooms and stuff like that. My Dad and I are in the construction bussiness.

Keep up the good work guys!

I'm not exactly sure where Paul's place is but I think it's in Madison Co. off I-10.
About twice as far as O.N.F. for us(I'm in Tampa)
It's north of Perry.

[susieblazer]

what are the campground names and do they have websites to check them out?

[1FasterBlaster]

I would definately drive there to have a new riding area. Is this area close to Suwannee or Live Oak?
