I've got a November issue hanging here. All of the the vehicles were as
follows, 1 Cherokee, 2 Rams, 10 Jeeps, 1 Amigo, 1 Tracker(Geo), 1 Bronco I
and 1 Suzuki Samurai. These are all of the ones talked about in "The Rigs
of Ultimate Adventure" section, page 28.

They talk about Rocport off-road park(http://www.rorp.com/home.html) in
Atlas, IL(25 miles north of St. Louis) and of The Cliffs Insane
Terrain(http://www.thecliffsinsaneterrain.com/).

Both parks tout beginner to advanced trails with some mud. RORP is
certainly bigger on 1600 acres where TCIT is only on about 300 acres..

sounds like another good point for the MO area. problem with the
offroad park though:

This park is where the Ultimate Adventure started this year, and as I
recall their long wheelbase fullsize vehicles got beat up pretty badly
with narrow trails and tight quarters. most of the locals were riding
around in Sammis and the like. This is all IIRC since I already read
and tossed both UA issues of P4WOR - but I'm pretty sure it was their
first park where they had issues with their vehicle sizes

index.html>.

Not much text there, so if anybody's got a November issue laying around
that would be a useful review of the park.
