Rockefeller Off Road Park has a great ring to it
Nice little side business.

Hahaha. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaact.
He may be the new master. I would bet on it.
Kinda leaning towards you being right about his, Nolen. As much as it pains me, that would mean the park would perpetually exist because it would never need to turn a profit. Would be a nature reserve of sorts and a way to keep Louis out of his mom’s hair. Dunno that he would have any real type of say in management there, but he would probably be a figurehead for sure.
Blessing and a curse if the Rockefeller family did indeed acquire an offroad park in Hot Springs.

I’ve never met him but he and I chatted on the internet after he spent $160,000 on a Pig restoration.

I know the kid has a nice red 62, but he looks like a total tool. Anyone notice his profile pic??
Wait. Who is this guy? He related to Winthrop and is on off road forums? As long as Trump doesn’t sale the National Forrest I’m good. I heard someone rich bought it and was gonna close access at end of summer.
Yep. The grandson. If he buys it the park is safe.
This is Louis’s dad.

I would think the park is safe under the Rockefeller Foundation. I also don’t see anyone buying it at that price and shutting down access. It doesn’t cash flow as an ORV Park, so it likely has to be someone not looking at it as any type of investment turning a profit... unless end game is to sell off tracts of commercial, some timber portfolio, and subdivide with an orv Park on the side?

Heard that a group of folks are getting together to purchase as a hunting club, specifically deer. Cabins already there, bathrooms, infrastructure, easy access from Millcreek, plenty of parking for campers, trails lead right to good spots for deer stands. Would be closed to the public. Dang, what a shame :-(
Terrible news

I'm fun sized!
Makes perfect sense, shut a perfectly good business down......
And another one bites the dust....
Crawl= relocation

If the hunting club story is true we'll just shut the Crawl down. I'm not interested in moving it to another location. I'll do some calling on this because we have commitments to an event in October. Hope they will let us know if we need to call it all off. Good thing we've spent about 10k on that park. Should be nice for the hunters....

Fahhhhhk. Hope it's not the case.
Sounds about right. Hunting clubs have been ruining all my favorite spots here in AR since the late nineties.

Knox knows nothing of a hunting club buying it. Still has people interested in it as an off road park. I'm like you, I've only seen a few deer on that place. If I was gonna spend that kind of money I'd be in SW TX hunting those big grain fed deer! I told him to keep me posted in case we need to cancel the event.
Crazier things have happened. I would’ve never thought Clayton would be sold to hunters, but a lot of folks from DFW area are enticed by the relatively-low per acre cost and the wildlife that supposedly exists. Heck, the largest tract of land sold recently - over 1000 Acres - was bought by a dude who needed a place to take refuge from his other hunting lands.
Try making logic of people who have eff-you money. About as easy as making logic of people who are crazy. I can’t think like them because I’m relatively sane and also don’t have disposable income or flush with cash like these people seem to be.

Also, hunting is a social activity as well. It’s not just about harvesting trophy animals. Some folks don’t give a crap if they kill nothing other than time.
Why do people go back to Gilmer for Jambo every year? It certainly isn’t for the wheeling. That place is at the very bottom of my list on places to wheel, but I would return just to hang out with my Toyota peeps. Pretty sure I still have red dirt in places I’ve never seen before from my last trip there almost a decade ago.
