1  General / Open Discussion / Ocala National Forest on: January 16, 2006, 08:45:28 AM
Yesterday a couple of us decided to go to Ocala to trail ride. As we going thru the trails there were small swamps and ponds and of course we went on the edges not knowing how deep the middle was, plus there were so many trail so we didn't want to stay in one spot for long. Well when we came out of the trail we followed the power lines back to the trucks, on the way back there was a little flooded mud hole went thru it got mud all over me and the atv.Well when we finaly got back to the trucks a Ranger stop us for riding on the on of the dirt roads, got out of his vehicle took his hand wiped my Arctic Cat and said $1000 fine for any mud or water on your atv. $75 fine, plus no atv's with blade type tires(any mud tires).$300 for riding on dirt roads. He went on and on no spinning tires, no donuts,all kinds of bullsh!t. My fiance got stoped and followed by a ranger for a place to park her atv, just for riding to the bathroom. Over all I'll never go back and they were on everyone on atv's when the people on the dirtbikes is the ones they need to be after.The only good thing is that after all that they didn't give us a ticket. When we were getting the lecure from the Forest lady she metioned some thing about web sites bashing the forest I haven't put any stickers on my atv yet but she picked this site out specificley(i can't spell) saying that everyone hates the forest and not to go riding there. I really don't think it's the forest people don't like it's the people that that try run and own the forest.
