Wish they would drop 2x from Redbird. It’s Inpassible even aftera long dry spell. There are parts that are not even possible with a sxs

I don't even know how Redbird got added in the first place...It's not really that great. I have the badges (acquired over a few weekends and it is local to me, situated between where I live and work) but ehhhhh...it's not "badge worthy" in my opinion. But then you have entire OHV parks that can earn a badge which is even worse I think. Considering that Badlands even used to host Jeep Jamborees it would make more sense but what do I know I guess.

Well at least the Michigan Department of Natural Destruction is on a roll. They gave the okay to cut down 450 acres of forest so they could install Solor panels in an area that has already gotten over 100 inches of snow. I wonder haw much the kick back to the people that okay to do this. Heck Michigan is overcast from October to April. I can't even remember the last time I saw the sun. SO I am sure the return on investment will be huge. LOL.


Mind you I love solar, but come on. This is ridiculous.

Windrock 16 was so off camber eroded it had become a buggy trail. Gutbuster was blocked. I am surprised that Drummond Island is gone. I would have thought that the tank traps would be filled with Jeeps by now and you could just drive over them.

I like Badlands way better that Redbird.

Drummond Island is a shame. I'll be going there for the first time in June for the Jamboree. I'll be staying a few extra days on the island and I had hoped to get the badge while I'm there.

I would like to follow up with where they are citing down the forest only averages 167 days of sun a year. Then when you consider that in Michigan, with full sun you will only get 4 to 6 hours a day of quality solar generating sun per day.

Like what kind of idiot thinks this is a good idea. There is zero chance that the solar farm will ever produce enough energy to pay for itself. Mind you I love solar. But I also know that there are limiting factors.

The one badge I want the most and the one I care about the most is the Rubicon trail. I have a sneaking suspicion that the Rubicon trail has a permanent place on the BoH list and would only be removed if the trail is closed permanently. I'm going July 25th-27th so hopefully the world doesn't end until after that.
I'm pretty sure the Rubicon trail will be available for generations to come (fingers crossed) 👍

Brandon posted in the SMORR group that they are losing a badge as well. The post has a lot of details but only two per park. Looks like the program is changing and they are not done yet
