Me and a couple of buddies will be going to Hastings probably on Saturday.  Is there anything I need to be aware of or look out for, ie., where not to ride, where not to park or leave my truck.  Anyone wanna go?  I'll have my Grizzly 700 and a Sportsman 500 and maybe a dirtbike with me.

was thinking of going to check out hastings myself..never been but heard it is good riding just not a safe place to park yur vehicle..guessin maybe there were a few break ins and what not..not too sure really

Bueller?...........Bueller? 

Is this near St. Augustine?

Mr bones it's over by east palatka

Myself & Mudbucket2 rode there a few months back. We parked at the end of Yeager Ave. under the first set of power lines. Had no problems. The riding was good & found a couple of interesting spots & a dirt/gravel road to do some wfo riding but i found the area kind of small for the distance i traveled to get there. After about 3 hrs or so of riding we both got bored.
Mudbucket2 went home & I went to check out 5A.  Found that more to my liking.  Go & check it out you may find it worth the trip.  Have a great time!!!!!!!!

thinking of checkin that out the weekend of the 12th..or goin to mudmuckers..suggestions??? anyon else lookin to ride that weekend?

Hastings is free and there are tons of trails if you know where there at. iv never had anyone mess with my truck. there are some fun trails up on top of the hills. you just got to ride and find them . if you find the creek there is where the hilltop trais are. And if its rained there any in the pass few days there will be plenty of mud but watch witch holes you go in bc some of them wiil over take a mud truck. have fun and respect the place and it will be there fou so to enjoy. pm me if you have any question.

all those holes are to much for that little artic choke. LOL

hey at least i can keep belts. lol

Went out there today and had a blast.  I don't think I even scratched the surface.  I will definetely be returning.

Glad you had a good time Ole Nasty!!!

going this saturday ...woo woo Im stOKED  ;)

I'll be there probably saturdayafternoon.  I gotta work in the morning.  If I didn't have to work I think I'd might go to Mud Muckers.  PM me sometime this week maybe we can meet up out there.

We've never had any problems with our parked trucks.  The area is HUGE.  Right now it's so dry, sport quads are more fun rippin' on the dirt roads and twisty trails.

sounds good..Im lookin to show in the early afternoon myself..pretty sure I gotta work the morning of also..

who owns the property? directions gps coor? is it legal to ride there? has anyone asked?

people have been riding there for years. no one says anything just dont ride on the big dirt road or the cops will get you. and just look out during hunting season there is a hunting club out there its marked, but its easy to miss the cubs sings. i had a run in with them last year and they were cool told them i was lost and they helped me out. pm me ur email and i can give u a google map.

I rode through Hastings today and was thinking about riding out there.  It sounds like fun.

Yeah, it's a pretty good time.  I gotta work this weekend, but next weekend me and a couple of buddies will be heading back out there.

Hey Guys looking to check out hastings for the first time this weekend, can anyone give me an address for my GPS or maybe some directions. Thanks ahead of time.

not sure if you have gone yet or not,but  you go I95 south to SR 207,turn right (west) drive till you come to hastings.The light you turn left.(main intersection,Churches
chicken,kangaroo store together).Head south(left) apx 2-4 miles look for a windmill looking thing on the right.Turn on packing house rd (i think) Drive till it turn to dirt,keep going will dead end,go left keep looking to your right,till you see a  open  field. Park RIDE!!!!!!!!!!.Have not been in a long time myself,camping/broken ATVs :(
studying for a Captains  test at work.....well got to get back to the books...:(

Here's a map from the Jax area(fruit cove) to exactly where I park.

Thanks Medic directions were spot on, we rode today , place was fun, lots of fun trails will return before hunting season gets in full swing..

thats cool with the map!

That's really close to me - I'm in Palm Coast so that's about 30 min. away.  I can't really tell from the view in Google what there is to ride on.  Which way do you go from the parking location you provided? 

Just park and ride, lots of trails in the woods, fun place I drove from jacksonville and I will go back, took me about an hour to get there.

I usually ride east of "B" on the map.
