Hello everyone. Below is a survey that I have been asked to forward to ourmembership. I am doing so through our delegates. The person who created this survey is trying to open an OHV park in the East, probably in WV or MD.
Even if you don't reside in the east he would like to hear from you. He will use this information for statistical purposes in convincing localgovernments or investors of the future of this park.
It is becoming harder and harder to use our vehicles, legally, off-road
with land closures and regulations. It is my dream to have a plot of land, dedicated to being an off-road adventure park. However, this is no small and easy
task. I need some input from fellow 4-wheel drive enthusiasts to determine what
is needed, how much it is needed, and if I can still feed my family off of
it! So, this is where I am going to ask a very big favor from you. Please
take a moment to read this questionnaire, fill it out and send it back to me. Unfortunately, I cannot provide envelopes and stamps at this time;
however, if you include your address at the bottom of the form, I will be sure to send you a thank you note and a coupon for the park, when it opens. I cannot guarantee anything at this time, but I am doing my best to provide
a playground to be enjoyed by anyone who owns a 4-wheel drive vehicle and is looking for a little adventure. The more responses I receive means a
better chance of the park becoming a reality. Thank you for your time and responding to my questions. Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Please send responses back to P.O. Box 1539, Frederick, Md 21702-0539. E-mail @ visit4x4playgrounds@hotmail.com.
