Pickett State Park/Blackhouse Mountian 1-23-2016

4 months seems like a long time to run a dozer down the main trail, but it's definitely needed. Chest deep ruts and 47 bypasses aren't "sustainable"

How tall are you. Just for a reference

That it does all around on a long time for a dozer and not sustainable.

Hoping it doesn't go the way of the Franklin State Forest after their 120 day closure for trail maintenance.

They closed the only state owned park here in Georgia Beasley Knob for the same thing, people destroying the place by not staying on the trails.

Climate change is obviously the reason for those ruts.

At least the overlanders can still overland over the land to the mineral lake and wagon gap overlook.

Cancelled our cabin reservation at Black House Mountain Campground since we can't ride. Only getting a 50% refund.

That's pretty interesting on the refund part.

Everybody these days screws ya. Customer is never right. Greedy bastards

I could understand if we were cancelling for other reasons but it is crappy for them to keep half of the money under these circumstances. Not a good way to run a business in today's world with Google reviews.

Put em on blast here. Maybe somebody wanting to go there will avoid them if they see it here.

Similar thinking there for sure.

probably grasping straws since they will likely go out of business now. Not a good way to run a business.

I haven't been to Pickett in 7-8 years? I didn't even know there were rentals and such

Seems like the offroad oriented campgrounds/cabins have popped up over the last 2-3 years (with the exception of Laurel Creek and one other campground close by that's always been aimed at "normal camping folks").

We had cabin #2 rented, (a tiny cabin), for 2 nights and the total was $332.51. I left them a Google review and they replied that they have now decided to also do a raincheck of a later date for up to 1 year or the 50% refund.

Well at least they've offered the raincheck now too. Tough spot for everyone to be for sure.
