Title: Osceola Nat Forest
Post by: CEC on November 09, 2007, 02:57:39 PM
I Have Wanted To Check This Place Out For A While And Not Had The opportunity. However I Got The Time Off After Thanksgiving And A Friend Of Mine Has a Cabin Near Ocean Pond That I Can Stay At And Ride Right From The Cabin. I Will Post A Review When I Get Back. Last Weekend I Went To Tates Hell, You Can See My Review Of There On This Forum Posted A Couple Of Days Ago. Give Me A P.M. If You Ride Osceola And Are Going To Be Riding There The Weekend After Thanksgiving,

Me and the family were going out there today until I spoke with the ranger station wed. She told me we needed hunter orange vest and hats on.  I said mam its hard to wear a orange cap when you have on a helmet she said "good point" so I really dont know how a family could go out and enjoy this great weather without worrying about gun shots. I have hunted all my life until 2 yrs ago and dont think i would want quads in my hunting area.  I think the forest should be divided.

Some people here from work went out there and before they even got unloaded a ranger pulled up and asked if everyone had a registration on there quads. Let them know that noone is to ride two up unless the quad was originally made for two. And helmets must be worn by everyone under 16. They were planning on riding two up on some and not all quads had the registration on them so they had to go back home. Osceola was a good place to ride. Those rules are just ways to say that the federal government has a place for us to ride, but the guidelines are so tough that you would be better off selling your quad and finding another hobby.

WHAT!!  :dunno.gif  Wearing helmets and not riding double on a single quad don't seem to drastic to me (ride safe)?? However i do understand the financial burden some may feel with having top get their quads registered.......
