I am extremely new to this sport, but it is a great new experience riding with my sons and grandchildren--yes I am a senior...in age at least.  My wife thinks I have gone over the edge with this latest adventure.

We rode yesterday on the Northern ONF Trail system after purchasing our annual permits in Salt Springs and had a great day.  I have two questions:

!.  Are you required to wear the permit pinned to your clothing or simply to have it in your possession along with photo ID?  The Volunteer in Salt Springs said wearing was not required, but volunteers at two trail heads said to wear it to avoid a fine.  Who is correct?  Since they are not replaceable, wearing it on the trails seems a bit risky.

2.  When will the Highway 316 trail head be opened?

Thanks in advance for any answers.
