If on an organized or group ride the trail leader is the BOSS and their word is law. If in a convoy, the driver is ALWAYS responsible for the vehicle immediately BEHIND them. Do not follow to close; we do have to back sometimes. Respect the tonnage of what you are driving, BE SAFE.
You do NOT need to wait for an organized trail ride, serve yourself, but, it is HIGHLY recommended not to ride alone, it can be a long walk out.
Organized group rides need to be limited to 7-8 trucks MAX, refer to the direction of the trail leader. This is to allow everyone in a convoy to be a part of the actions and not just sit in traffic.
We have two (2) park areas that we have full access to.
Park #1, South East of the lodge, this park has gentle roadways with off road courses and challenges, they range from mild to severe and extreme.
Park #2, North West of the SS assembly area, has gentle roadways with off road courses, and challenges, some are can be very challenging and technical.
Woods trail, very gentle, nice shady ride, can be tight in places. Just because you may have been on that trail before, with the rains and traffic, the trails are very different that they have been. We do have some areas that are going to be soft, if someone wants to tackle these let a trail leader know or locate the Trail Master (Squirt-Truck) and we will pre-plan for the recovery.
The ATV Park is OFF LIMITS till after 17:30. DO NOT cross any rope roadways, respect signage. If riding in the ATV park after 17:30, all access ropes and such MUST be re-installed as found.
All routine trails have been traversed by Little-Truck (M-37) for 4 wheel vehicles; size has been cleared by Dumpster (M-51 w/oversize mirrors) for trucks. Jeeps fit into this somewhere but we have proven that they will not float, just ask Tigger.
No SS'er gets left behind. We will have recovery personnel and equipment available. Do NOT damage your vehicle trying to prove that you can get it out, request help. Best efforts will be made to use immediate personnel and equipment for recovery, but if needed we have two (2) 5-tons with winches that will be running heavy recovery if needed. (Dumpster and Makincold) Recovery can be DANGEROUS, caution is a must, get the appropriate help.
We all need to be careful , enjoy, have fun, get dirty, try not to break anything major and let’s NOT GET HURT!
