They've been working on getting the legalities & permission for that for YEARS now. A lot of open land up in those areas...used to wheel in those areas about 10 years ago.

I wonder how they're going to tackle it. Will they charge a fee to go there?

The area is soooo huge and I know the locals go there regularly to go offroading.... In fact, I thought you could get a permit from the State/township to legally be allowed to wheel up there $$?

And after the park is officially open, and the area is sooo huge...How are they going to keep the locals OUT who haven't paid to be there?

 

I have some many many fond memories of wheeling up there.....but it got downright scary seeing the people who hang out there (offering us dope, pot, beer, etc). Hearing guns & shotguns....people dumping stuff illegally.

I wonder how they'll control all that from a business standpoint, since its been a free-for-all for all these years.

I hope it turns out well for them & the business!!
