RE: Badlands

[jbade@domain.elided]

Dan, Tom, Whoever.

The Badlands in IN. is probably the best Off Road Park anywhere.
It has whatever you want.. If you like sand, Rocks, Water, Etc it has it
all...
From everything I found out it's open to any Vehicle and they even have a
repair shop.
It does cost a few dollars and the only stipulation is that you have to be
part of a Club.
(I.E. Not talking about being in the WaterBuffalo Lodge)
They also do not take responsibility for anything that happens to you
vehicle.
It's open all the time from what I read.
And is Private land which means the Government or those Tree hugging Green
Peace Hippies can't say a thing.  Not to say the park is destroying the
land,  They do believe in "Tread Lightly".  They just are hidden from all
the bureaucracy.

Anyway I'll did up the article if anyone want's to know more..
I want to go and with a caravan of IH's behind me..
