Arkansawer,
Sorry I didn't get to meet you, I was there but I wasn't in my Bronco...I went around to whoever I could find and talked. Bronco blue doors and his possee was there, so when you count jsm84, msuforeman and a couple of other guys I didn't get to meet there actually were a more than a few of us from b-zone.
marvin,
I understand where you are coming from; that's why I really like this site.
But it's not just an event that failed; it's the fact that we were lied to. If you go somewhere expecting to see something, what would you do if that didn't happen? What if you went to a football game and only one team showed up, or a concert and the band just didn't show, or a movie and they said "oh, the movie is not here"? This was a major deal, 5+ hours from where I live. Here's an example of what we had to deal with; walterm told me on the phone that the park entrance fee would be $15.00 for b-zone members. When I checked in, I told the managers that and they looked at me like I had three eyes and said "I don't know where you heard that - it sure wasn't from us." I have shown broncozone to family, friends, and co-workers. I told ten people that Brad Paisley was supposed to do a show there (one of the many things walterm said was going to take place).
I brought my whole family, my teenagers and my dog, rented a 4x4 (my Bronco was not in shape for the trip so I wanted to show up in something I could go on trails with), and stayed in an overpriced resort hotel. walterm talked to me personally on my cell phone on wednesday, so if there was some kind of problem he could have let me know then.
This was way more than an event gone bad. It was some kind of sick joke, and I don't blame msuforeman one dang bit for not wanting to be associated with this kind of idiocy.
jsm84,
It was really good to meet you, sorry we left as we did. When you left for a trail ride I couldn't stand it no more, I flagged down and talked to the guy who drove a tractor and maintained the trails there and got him to recommend a Level 1 trail that I could take that lilly-white explorer on and that's what we did believe it or not (I have pictures!). We left after that and I guess you were still on the trail. I'll be in touch.
