Here's the deal,
        I had spoken with one of the home owners who had come to the fire house to complain. He was venting on me and a co-worker about the noise and the people driving on his property and right next to it. Now I like to ride and so does he. I will not be happy if I have to drive 3 hours to croom every time I want to ride. I have a hard time arguing with him when I was a little pissed off myself on the people’s behavior. The noise of those aftermarket exhaust travels (I have one myself), But people need to use some common sense. I personally witnessed adults and teens race (about 6 to 10 bikes) up and down the lots next to the fire station. Not just once or twice, but for a good half hour or more. Give some respect to the surrounding residents. There are 100's of acres out there but it seems there is always 10% that just don't get it. If you are out by the street or near a house, keep off the gas. Do your riding in the woods where you won't be bothering anybody. On the other hand you have people riding in the management area. Well the same people that are suppose to get us more land to ride on also have to keep replacing those signs people keep taking down. They have to pay someone to patrol the area for those of you that just can't seem to stay out of the area that is restricted. Now, I realize that most of the people that are abusing the system are not reading this so if you know one of these individuals, Please let them know. The individual that had complained had started the legal process to stop our riding. He had grouped together with other neighbors in the area and the police have no choice but to try and control the situation. The individual had stated that surly something could be done due to the environmental damage to the wet lands out there. Now to me that is a desperate home owner (who rode to the house on a 4-wheeler) who is trying to get something under control. I told him I wasn't happy about the noise. I also said there is no place else out there to ride and that there are a few bad apples that are causing the problems. I tried to talk to him but he had had enough. The process was in motion and 2 weeks later, well some people have tickets or warnings. It was also my understanding that the people that were ticketed were either parked on the right-a-way or on land they shouldn't have been on. If they didn't know they were on management land then that is because a fellow rider or 4-wheeler took the sign down. It was also my understanding that they were trying to get people on specific land so they could stop them, but I don't know that for sure. Well, I'm a little concerned about a riding area that has already shrunk in the last 20 years I have been out there. Please, Lets not send another great riding spot to the grave. Let’s get the word out to use some common sense at the Yucapan and all the other spots that are still around so we don't loose them for good. I can tell you this; I bet north port is not too far behind.  Just another concerned rider, Elmo
