But, if you got the power and balls , try it.

The only downside is this is considered "pribvate" it's posted but everyone runns it at all times of the year. As long as no one has a weapon, they just tell you to leave. BUT, I have yet to meet anyone that has ever had any problems with ANY law enforcement. Mostly game wardens are out there looking for illegal hunting, even that is rare. I thinnk a small group would have fun with no problems. But I warn you, I fish and fossil hunt when I get out there. It's a pretty area and you can spend all day out there. I have "quick" trail escapes to get out if needed. Never needed them though. As long as no one is drunk and shooting firearms, everything should be cool.
Thanks for the info Junkie. So when are you going to be ready to "host" our ride (shouldn't be more than a hundred or so JKs)?

im on lakeshore near oxmoor. i love the 35s and my only regret is not going to 37s. I'd need a new DD (i park downtown in decks) and dana 60s before i go any taller though.

Default Leeds boy here....

O.K.

email me at cbarber91@gmail.com

If the trails will dry out I will take a couple of you guys out in Markeeta.

I live in Leeds near the new jr. high on Whitmire Street.

The trails are only a few miles from my house and I would enjoy going out with a few of you on these trails.

I know a couple of you already get out there. I also found out we won't get in trouble for riding there. (Straight from the local PD)

I can ride Sat and Sunday's. But because of the wet weather, I wouldn't dare go on some of these trails. I just don't have the mods to make it safe for me. Some of you guys do though. I could at least show you where to go in at.

These trails are only 10-15 minutes from the B'ham area. So email me and lets see if I can at least share these trails with you!

yeah, the rain makes it a bummer. I'll holler at you when the weather isn't so soggy out here. It really makes it slick on most of the trails. it's very sandy soil so it's slick enough when it's dry1 LOL!
