Title: Re: Can you ride ONF at night? Post by: zippo201 on January 16, 2007, 02:31:20 PM according to http://www.fs.fed.us/r8/florida/recreation/oca-OHV/index_OHV_Rules.shtml
"OHVs are permitted to operate 1 1/2 hour before sunrise to 1 1/2 hour after sunset" They also state that it's illegal to take a dump in the woods "(p) Depositing any body waste except into receptales provided for that purpose." They also state that you can't carry a passenger on an ATV unless it was built specifically to carry one. So basically if they want to screw with you they can, and it'll cost you. I was at Big Scrub 2 weekends ago and they were writing a guy a $525 ticket for riding through a big puddle that was in the middle of the power line right of way. This was a mud/sand puddle from a rain shower not an existing wetland, in a week it'll be dry sand. anyways, we (4 atv's)were sitting off to the right of the powerlines at the edge of the trail taking a break and 2 rangers pull up to us and ask "who has the money? where'd you get those atv's dirty? if it was in that puddle it'll cost each of you $525". WTF??? I asked them to give me a statute# where the law states you cannot ride through a puddle that's in a throughway (not a wetland) and I threw in some legal mumbo jumbo along with my questions.The ranger hemmed and hawed that if they wrote atv'ers up for riding in puddles on the powerline then that would teach us not to do it in the woods. That was their justification.Unbeleivable. I'm all for measured preservation of the ecosystem but the crap they are pulling surely can't be legal? Title: Re: Can you ride ONF at night?
