i rode out to holeylands this afternoon after the rains. rode around for a bit. in the parking area and throughout the trails around it is trash littered everywhere. i picked up at least 60 water bottles in the parking area alone and there was still a shitload laying around. im new to the sprot and if this is one of the few spots left to ride in the west palm/broward area dont you guys think we should keep it clean?
not to mention that this trash affects the wildlife in this area.

You're preaching to the choir, worms. I think everyone here would agree with you 100%. Glad to hear that you feel the same way as the rest of us.

Worms, you did a good thing by picking up the trash, thanks. As for the salty taste part, you will now be known on here as the guy who knows how used rubbers taste.  |

We'll be bringing a few garbage bags next time we go. Our TBX has been wanting to feel a load in the box again.. Might be cool to do another clean-up ride when it gets a little drier so the sports can ride with us. Any word on if the south-side is out of hunting season yet so we can go riding? Hopefully I can get my tires on within the next few days, wonder how hard it is to get the bead set on a 26" Mud tire..

Heads up ! Members from South Florida, atvmiaxtreme and a few of us from Ft Myers are planning a HUGE clean up ride at Holey Land this Feb. So if you want to join us just say so. About the condoms maybe we can use them as garbage bags, hey recycle. Who's up for a clean up ride ?? |

Count me in for the clean up ride. I think it will be a great opportunity to give something back to the environment and meet some new people from the site.

Last time I was there FWC said that trash is the biggest problem. If the trash doesn't stop, Holey Land will be a thing of the past.

I'll have the training wheels on the dirt bike for the clean up ride. That should make things a bit easier.

Our fellow riders in Miami will be promoting it down south, local media like the Miami Herald and possibly Univision will be there. This will help our image. I spoke with a reporter for the Herald and she said she wants to do a story on the clean up. "HUGE," if alot of us volunteer. There was a clean up ride in 2005 and that was a good turn out. So let's plan it. |

A large portion of the area is private land but I'll check again. I use to ride there back in 04 |

As far as the trash goes maybe some Tickets should be issued to the offenders. I havent been to Holeylands but isnt it patrolled. A few $500 fines would curb this and maybe cause the offenders not to want to ride there anymore. Why is it the non offenders have to keep going out and pickup after the pigs that leave the garbage. Here is another though. If they are caught they should have to spend 4 full weekends in Zebra suits picking up trash with their ankles in shackles. Or have to stand out front of the place in a Zebra suit holding a sign saying this is what happens when I litter !.. Ah I feel better now.

I have no problem with other people cleaning up pigs messes but I dont think that will stop it. It causes the attitude that "hey somebody else will get it". I all for cleanup rides , but that should be in conjunction with strong enforcement.
