Frick, Coop, BDR, Kopecki, and several others went out there on Saturday. Sunday JB and Travis went out, figured I would put a thread about it here.
-----Down South Off Road-----
LOCATION: Crosby, TX, About 10 miles East outside the Beltway
WEBSITE: http://www.downsouthoffroad.com/index.php
VEHICLES ALLOWED: 4 wheelers, dirt bikes, trucks, jeeps, etc...
PRICE: $10 per vehicle, $10 per person (so with my Luis, the Klogger and me it was $30)
WHEELING: Lots of sand, creeks, and mud. This property used to be a sand mining operation (Think 47/Brazo Valley Off Road Park), so there are lots of odd ponds, and steep drop offs. The best thing is it borders the San Jacinto River, after a day of wheeling you can drive up and go swim in it. The park is over 700 Acres, so unlike Creekside Edge in Splendora, it is quite large. We wheeled for like 4 hours and never did the same thing twice.
OTHER INTERESTING THINGS: I did not see if they had restrooms or anything, but I think they might. When you drive in they had a person taking money. The lady made you show her your driver's license and scanned it!. Additionally they had a "rent a cop"/Security guard at the entrance. This keeps some of the undesirables out. Surprisingly they had a water truck that went around and watered the main roads to attempt to keep dust down (maybe Alto should look into this....)
