I didn't realize that cacaw is the Chickasaw word for " You are going to freeze your ass off in sticky mud, whiteman"

Age is a state of mind.
It did great.
I'll put up pictures and a write up first thing tomorrow morning, going play with my munchkins 
Bottom line is a great park for wheeling, great facilities, and an owner who will do whatever you need to have a good time and get home after.
Crappy weather, but fantastic company, so still a fun weekend and worthwhile trip.

how were the trails compared to superlift? (ex: length of trails, # of trails, trail markings, accuracy of trail ratings, etc...)
I'll elaborate tomorrow but they were nice and wide. Easy to follow map(trails we remarked well) and seemed to marked correctly for the few we hit.
Erick and Kevin went on the most trails and I'm sure they will elaborate but that's what I got from it.

That doesn't look too hard... What could go wrong?

Marked Extremely well and the maps are very well drawn.(just have to look at it) haha
Tons of trails with lots to do for any level.
The trail length is decent but you go from one on to another so your always on a trail and hardly ever on service roads.
Trail ratings are set into easy, moderate, moderate hard, and hard.
Easy: easy least lemon squeezy
Moderate: your basic 2-3. Challenging but totally and completely survivable with zero damage. No spotter really needed but always helpful.
Moderate hard: have fun...it's gonna be a hell of a ride... Frank the tank approved for some of them others Id spot. In 40's or alcohol induced FJ buggies you could play for a bit.
Hard: well if Tim cameron comes here to practice his comp runs and test gear... It's probably a little crazy
dontcha wanna?
Home. Shower. Bed. Night

Shiitty is an understatement. Thick mud, constant rain( that caused the mud), high winds, very cold weather, snow flurries and sleet all mixed together made it challenging at times. Howevever, the raw beauty, incredibly nice, and accomodating hosts, and good company made it all bearable. This is going to be an awesome place when the weather cooperates.
90 something trails with some thing for everyone. A serious motorcross track that they allow 4x4s to play on it when its not muddy. A concession stand that has tasty food served to you by the sweetest ladies. Killer views of the surrounding countryside, and a management team, that not only comes to help rescue you, but also allows you to use their on premises garage/barn to repair your trail damage.
The rocks are not as sharp as Superlift, which saves your tires. Lots of super wide easy(not too easy) trails for beginners that wind their way through the park. The more difficult trails parallel the easy with offshoots so you can bail from the tough stuff whenever necessary and still keep up with the group.
These are a few of the reasons I like Hawks Pride better than Superlift.

Kevin summed it up pretty well, few other thoughts...
While the weather sucked, the placement of the camp sites also added to the s***tyness. The RV spots where we were located were at the top of a hill with only a few tress around it, so there was constant wind. There was a dramatic difference in temperature and comfort once we got down in the valley to hit some trails. That being said, in the summer and warmer months this spot would be great for a nice constant breeze. The spots themselves were huge. We could easily get 3 or 4 more tents in the couple spots we had and still not be crampt. We were occupying a nice little center area in the RV spots, worked out nice to congrigate around the deathstar.
The trail layouts are great, as previously stated they branch out and loop back to the main roads so you can go for it, or just move up a bit and wait for your group. Also, if your significant other wants to try driving or someone new is out even the "main road" have a few rocks, bumps, and slippery spots where they can kinda cut their teeth before ever getting near a tree or big rock.
Also if something does go wrong their shop doesn't require you to climb back up to the camping spots to get out. They have another access road down to the bottom of the park that they can access with tow rigs and flat beds (Cody knows this first hand now).
Can't say enough how great Mark the owner is too. He said he has been trying to add around 10 trails each year and has more plans for additional primitive camping spots (similar to Superlift with gravel beds) behind the RV spots and at some point a playground area for little ones.
Also met some locals camping next to us in an RV. They ride razors pretty much every weekend and all live nearby. They were impressed with the deathstar, and probably that there were people dumb enough to be tent camping in that weather. Great folks though.
Only about 20 minutes from walmart, lowes, tractor supply, restuarants, hotels... everything you need and quite a selection. First time I had Shoney's breakfast in years actually
I can't wait to go back. I'm thinking of a late march early april time already. Getting the weather report from a few locals and Mark will help nail down the date as it approaches.
