Anyone going to the Dixie Run in Sept?

think we're headed to Hawk Pride in mid Sept, ya know the whole crowd thing. Anyway, caught this little bit of info the other night on another forum. Copy and paste so I have not other details.
I have been reading this on NAXJA. Looks like Golden Mountain is on the radar for possible closure. Nothing we can really do as this is private property but maybe a heads up incase it is on your bucket list....
"The other location is Golden Mountain in Sparta. As I understand it, the park was just purchased by a family that owns the adjoining farm, as an investment property. The family has no interest in running it as an off-road park, nor do they have much interest in upkeep of the facilities. SFWDA does do Dixie Run at Golden Mountain each September, and that event is generally what gets Golden our of the red. The indication is that Golden Mountain will cease to exist as an OHV location within the next 12-24 months."
"GMP is not closed - yet. The indication is that in 12-24 months it very well could be, without intervention, due to the owners lack of interest in running it as an off-road park. The guy that works the farm next door (owned by the same family) "keeps his eye on it" but is more of a caretaker than anything. SFWDA is in conversation with the land owners, and is still going to be doing their Dixie Run at GMP in September."
This is just word being passed along so anything can change of course

Sorry if I missed it, but what are the dates for GSMTR 2018?
May 14-19, 2028
Why does this not surprise me. Nice little park in our backyard that no one wants to go too.

I hear ya and completely agree but after our visit in December this is no longer a wagon friendly park. Obviously there are places they can ride but even a few spots on the main connecting trails are getting a little challenging for the tater.
That said, for the bigger tire guys this place rocks (pun intended) and I'd go back in a heartbeat. I just hate the drive up there from ATL dragging 7k lbs behind me.

Well that kind of stinks, but like Rocky said, not real surprising. I haven't been in over a year myself, but even that last time I was there, the loop road bypasses were needing bypasses. It is an awesome little park, but with the grounds guy not having a lot of direction from what I could see, not doing much if any water control and letting the bouncer/ buggy guys rip around on the dirt road in 2wd, it was bound to get eat up. And they paid, which was probably more than alot of folks around there that slip in.
I really hate to see go away, but at the end of the day, if they can't make money at it, then it can't stay open.
Replacing a bulged brake line at the first ACC ride at GMP, fall of 2011 I think. Hannah had a blast.

Well anyway. Will there be any going to the Dixie Run?
I have considered going, but like Ted said, not that found of the large crowd. If there is a group going I might go.
I would really like to go to the 70 series gathering at Windrock in late September. Registration was free, so I registered. Will see what the schedule looks like closer to the time.
The house is keeping me over busy. Penny needs some work on the power steering.
