We lost land a few years ago to what is refered to as the Honobia wildlife refuge. We crossed areas of a dry creek that they deemed as a runoff. We also had deer hunters lease all the land near the top of three stage and 4x4 hill. As it is now we have only two trails left and you have to have a permit to run on that.

 

where did you pick up the info. we were planning to go to clayton this weekend.please tell me what you find out,thanks mike.

Mike, I am a member of the fortworth dallas fourwheel drive club. We have several contacts in the clayton area. We host two very large runs every year. Goeogia Pacific called our president Ron Harris and they told him directly. So, there is no second hand information here. I will know more after our meeting tonight. You are welcome to attend. We are having a dinner meeting tonight @ 7:30 pm at Cafe Mexico in Richardson.

 

any one else heard any thing new on this,i was planning to go this weekend.thanks mike.

Not a lot of new information from the meeting last night. Georgia Pacific is preparing to sale the property and they want all people off. This is understandable. They own four thousand acres which happens to hold a majority of the trails we run on. They want 300.00 an acre. So, if you got 1.2 million go buy it. We have contacted the mayor of Clayton and she is working with her congressman and senators. They will try to persuade Georgia Pacific to keep these trails open. Bottom line is you can't be mad at Georgia Pacific about this. They are the owners and a business. They have to base their decision on their company needs not ours. We are suppose to learn more on the outcome of Clayton by Monday.

 

Well Marc is trailfest cancelled? I have working furiously to get my rig finished by then

 

just got off the phone to the people at sams off road they said that the loss of the g.p. trails are not that bad. they said the are going to run the trails north of town and there are plenty of them. he told me that they have 200 rigs singed up all ready and there was no way they are going to cancell the run this weekend.thats the latest news that i have got.

It looks like it will be. It all depends on what happens this week. There was discussion about that last night. It would be possible to relocate and have the SWFWDA at Gilmer. That is the newly purchased land by the TMTC.
FWD-FWD will decide this weekend and post information on the web site www.fwd-fwd.org

 

Mike, I still plan on going. Yeah there are trails north of town and west of town. These trails are not that difficult. Hince Sam's novice run. Yanush is about 8 miles north of Clayton. It has a couple of tough spots. There is some more trails in Taliahina but I have not been there.

 

Dang dang it...we were planning a K5 run for early november. Never been to clayton, been working like a mad cat to be ready by then. At least it isn't the damn gvt shutting it down though. A company I can understand, government wackos, nope. Maybe whoever buys it will be able to keep it open to OHV use.

I have not been on any tough trails up north. I have heard of some tough stuff in Yanush, but no one has ever shown me. The toughest thing I saw was a hill about 150 yards with loose rock and a couple of steps. I made it up easily, but then it started raining and no one could make it. Sam has wheeled up there alot more that I have. If they say they know then I would trust them. I guess I find out Saturday morning.
