June is RORP Appreciation month

[Bounty Hunter]

In light of the recent events affecting the future of Rockport Offroad Park as we know it, I suggest we declare June official RORP Appreciation Month. Let's all show Tom and Debbie how much we appreciate everything they've done for wheelin in the region and make every attempt to patronize the park this month. Let's set a record month for RORP and get the new and improved RORP off to a blazing start.

What recent events?

I think I see. Talldogs and the Back 40 are closed off. That's a fair piece of the park.
This Hannibal they speak of for a new Jeep area, is that Hannibal, MO?

 

[Bounty Hunter]

Yes, Hannibal MO.

:sunshine:

The forces of evil have descended on Tom and Debbie. Liars, cheats and politicians aren't always easy to identify until they turn on you.


Tom looks right in his element in those new rocks, however!

More info from RORP on the new Hannibal property. They've closed on the property so it sounds like it's a done deal. Campground next door, with a lot of amenities close by in Hannibal.

State maintained driveway to the park entrance

Large shop building with working scales

Conveniently left-behind gravel

Oooo, pretty pink trees 'n' rocks. That'll match my Barbie Jeep perfectly.

Looks like a diamond in the rough. I'm up for cutting and polishing!

Shame really, the place was kinda interesting, and "only" 6hrs away. Glad I took that side trip this spring to see it before it changed.

So, the "old" RORP isn't really worth visiting anymore then?

i wouldn;t say that. the rock crawl section they have is fun, plus they have plenty of other acres of off-site trails that were part of rockport.

How much of the original RORP will remain and exactly what it'll look like is unclear right now, but it'll certainly remain very much "worth visiting" and wheeling. Debbie mentioned that they planned to keep the rock course, among other areas, open.

ya beat me to the reply button!
True - plus there are several other trails that don't sound as though they'll be affected by this treachery.
