Default Rocks and valley's-8/29,30

Awesome time. Great park-very well organized and laid out!- the proprietor, and his staff were all top notch.-Rocks & Valley's Offroad Park is located in Harrison, MI.-approximately 25 miles North of Mount Pleasant, MI.- Everyone made you feel very safe and informed, and that was good for your confidence, seeing as how some of the names of the runs here were called, "frame bender" and "reaper!" -I dont have all of the pics together yet, so I thought I'd at least get some teasers up. Should have all the pics asap!!-Enjoy

JIMMYJOE AND I FUELING UP

WAIVERS!

WE'RE OFF!


THIS WAS "THE PLAYGROUND"





THIS DUDE WAS CLUELESS-ALMOST ROLLED THIS JIMMY DECIDING TO TURN AROUND WHILE GOING UPHILL-THEN STUCK RIGHT AFTER





SOME SHOTS ON "FRAME BENDER"-(that by the way is no exaggeration!)






"GRAVEL PITS"


OOOOPS!



NOW I DONT FEEL SO BAD! THANKS JAMES!





LUNCH TIME!!!

OH AND BY THE WAY, IF YOU DO GET STUCK, THE RULE OF THUMB IS THE PARK ISNT RESPONSIBLE, HOWEVER, THIS GUY KNOWS THE OWNER, AND HE LETS HIM IN FOR FREE. SO, HE RETURNS THE FAVOR BY HELPING THE STUCKS-FOR FREE!!--VERY NICE GUY, SO I TOLD HIM I'D GIVE HIM A PLUG-HERE YA GO PAL!!
BY THE WAY, THOSE ARE 38" SUPER SWAMPERS ALL AROUND-(6 IN TOTAL!)





MORE TO FOLLOW VERY SOON!!!

that park looks like so much fun. I've always thought it would be fun to own a park like that if I had acres of land to tinker around on.

^^^ i agree!--this park is approx. 200 acres, and its located adjacent to an active Ski Lodge. there's lots of woods and property here for sure. just a beautiful place. we had a blast over our 2 days here, and we still didnt hit all the park had to offer. There's some really gnarly stuff here, but we had the wives and kids w/us, so we took it relatively easy.

I'm also looking at opening up a park in south central MI, a few hundred acres or so, just trying to figure out if there is a big enough market for it

I can promise you that people like me, that live in area's that are starved for off road outlets-will most certainly patronize your establlishment-its a no lose situation-based on economics 101-competition breeds business-everyone likes variety-just make sure you have everything the competition has, plus some!!-I say go for it, and I know i'm not alone
