...I am always glad to see some positive news for the area..:biggthump

...I don't have any of those items to donate but, I know we all have donated various vehicle parts in one way or the other to them trails..

Sounds like it will be on the south side of S-22, which is probably a good thing.

I see even more damaged sheet metal in my future. Especially if they leave the cone spots marked so I can try some of the same lines that they do in the comps.

I just hope we don't see the day when that's all there is of Truck Haven

Honestly I don't see the need, considering the whole place is a fantastic playground. If you're into rock crawling there are other places to wheel.

Considering Rich Klein (Big Rich) is the CEO of W.E.Rock, it may bring a W.E.Rock competition or two to the So-Cal area.

On one hand, if they are going to build this to attract more people, i see this as a positive sign that the surrounding land won't be closed off anytime soon. But on the other hand, i hope this wont cause the treehuggers to say "offroaders have a designated playground now, why do they still need to destroy natural land?"
