Opponents questioned whether the recreation area would be closed for high water too often to meet the needs of ATV riders in South Florida."

The Park service is actually not too happy about this proposed park. It is legal to go and ride there right now, just stay south of the fence and you will not have a problem. I would still urge those that can make it t still go, the Sierra club and all the anti's will be there in full force tomorrow...Thxs Rick

If you can make it to the meeting, you need to be there. I'd bet that Matthew Schwartz and his band of idiots from the Sierra Club will be there telling half truths and lies, all in the hopes of keeping everyone out, unless on their terms. In my opinion, these are not nice people when it comes to the ORV community. Their past actions and comments speak volumes. |
