That is sad! He showed me that my 4x4 can be used much harder than I was willing at the time. Very nice guy, he will be missed
Cheese, canals and mud. Flattest country in the world. Wish they had 4x4'ing here

Sad news - I wonder what this will mean for the trail? Will it close, or will someone take it over?

The facilities at Bass Like is quite wide, with the scuba diving, open water events, picnic etc.
So I cannot imagine it closing, but the 4x4 trail may not be that big a part of the business anymore.
