That is the place that we do not talk about. It is forbidden.

I haven't been there in a few years so I'm sure it has changed since then. But, a few years ago it wasn't all that exciting to ride but it is a place to go. Few people will talk about it for fear of it being over populated and shut down. That is a common problem for "grey" riding areas. You'll also never get a distinct answer on how to buy a lot out there either. I've been curious about it for 3 years and I still don't know. It's almost like a secret society or cult.

If you go you better have written permission from a land owner. Word of mouth does not count. Those of you that know where it is Im letting you know about this morning. Several cars with deputies, helicopter and the game warden was there and you should know the rest of the story. Do not know of anyone going to jail or losing there atv. Like most grey areas been overpopulated and trash everywhere.

yeah i was there this morning as the cops were getting there wouldnt let anyone in with out a deed.
i've been going there for the past 2 months every weekend with 5 friends and we havent had any problems.We always bring a trash bag and clean are mess up as well as the mess left buy others around were we park.
we have meet a land owner and he told us we could ride there all summer just dont come back untill hunting season is over. that doesnt do us any good now that this is going on. i need to get ahold of him and get written permission i guess.
The game warden told one of my friends, that was already back there, that last weekend some guys come in there and beat up some other guys and stole there 4 wheelers. Dumb people mess it up for everyone else.I was there saturday and sunday and didnt have any problems does anyone know if the cops were there yesterday? Or does anyone know anything about the 4 wheelers getting stolen

The simple fact is you should be there unless you are a land owner or you are there with a land owner. The place has been getting trashed over the last 3 years and ive been told by a few different land owners that they are talking about putting up a fence and gate. Remember folks this place isn't just some field people have a vested interest in the property ... i would be surprised  if the cops wernt there next weekend too. Careless people are the reason our legal riding areas are shut down. The fact that people would trash a place that isnt legal (quicker to get shut down) is amazing. I can tell you part of the problem isnt the riders its the people that go there at night to hang out (minors probably) and don't wana bring their empties or any other trash for that matter home. The other issue is the blatant dumping. The simple solution is to gate the place up to help keep people out.
