    Thanks


    Let me talk to the owner and see what the fee is (typically it is very reasonable) as well as confirming a date. I don't believe there should be any conflict on the date with any other wheelers, might have the park to ourselves. Hopefully there is not a motocross race.
    FYI, if it is wet (muddy) he will close the park!!! So lets also keep an eye on the weather as the date approaches.
    If there is a big group I can most likely get a few other local Toyota guys to help lead/guide smaller groups so it doesn't turn into a land train on the trails.

    Just talked to the owner of BVORR and the 13th is open. $10.00 to get in and $5.00 to camp if there is anyone that wants to stay the night.
    Just so we are all clear and no surprises on rules at BVORR (owner is fairly strict on these rules):
    No alcohol on the trails/wheeling while intoxicated
    Seatbelts at all times
    Tread lightly, no purposeful mudding (there are a few places to play in the mud if you so desire, but you are on your own there)
    Other than that its pretty laid back as long as you respect the property, hence the reason he limits who he lets in.

    Wasn't sure if there would be overnight campers but there is a club house with bathrooms/showers and you can stay inside instead of tent camping if needed.
    Can accommodate around 15 people.

    Sub. How intense are the trails there? I was thinking about going to Bridgeport that weekend, but it seems like there is more interest in this location. I have a rear locker, stock skids, OME 883/5100 combo, <33" tires, front bumper/winch, NO sliders....could I survive? Not looking to beat up my body work. If that'll happen, I'd probably rather go to Bridgeport.

    You'll be able to do quite a bit. I wheeled with the same setup as you for two years there no problem (with the exception of I had sliders). Nice thing is there are no rocks, but there are lots of trees. Honestly you should be fine with your rig.

    Didn't know this. So BVORR is more dirt then?

    That's good news!

    How many people will be coming from the DFW metroplex? Me and Blake?

    I don't think I have anything holding me back at this point, just gotta get a buddy to come with me so I can have someone to hang out with for the lonely drive down there :)

    Edit: I'm talking about the weekend of the 13, just in case there may be confusion

    Wondering the same. I've never been to an off road park before. Do I need the OHV permit?

    You can bring some food for lunch/dinner but the park is about 10 minutes away from food/gas/ect. Easy trip into town to get whatever you need. Bring water for drinking as the water source there is caught rain water, not for drinking.

    No OHV permit needed.
