i gotta start a spreadsheet to add places like, Uwharrie National Forrest to my list.It's all about money, we all know that. Some people just like to try and disguise it. "Keeping the riffraff out" is bullshit. Anyone can save money and anyone's Jeep can break. New shit breaks all the time. The guy that said that was just an uppity prick. The Jamboree here in NC is held at Uwharrie National Forrest. The trail system is open 24/7 from mid-April to mid-December to anyone with $5. Jeep doesn't contribute to the upkeep of the trail system. Volunteers do the work, the Feds pony up some cash here and there and the rest is done by folks paying to ride. This year the Jamboree people spent some time on a private property riding trails that most folks don't ride on. It's not that they can't, it's just that The Farm charges to ride. That's fine, nobody has a problem with it. From time to time the locals will pay to ride there as well, they put on a 4x4 driving school, cookouts that kind of stuff. It's a great place. For WAY less than the JJ anyone can do the same thing at any other time of the year. There won't be vendors or seminars but there will be good people riding trails and helping each other whenever it's needed.
The JJ is a money making business. It's no different than Daytona's Bike Week or anything else that makes a profit off of people that like hanging out together. If that's your thing, good for you, enjoy yourself!
