stuck in mud anyone willing to help

[rockpile317]

quoted for the hell of it.

Let me guess, your 19 and know everything.(then why did you get stuck)

Well sit down shut up and listen
Right now there is a law suit trying to close one of the best wheeling spots in America and it's two hours away.
Little know it all punks who trespass like you screw the rest of us out of areas to wheel. Just because there is no sign doesn't make it legal many, many know it alls before you have been ticketed and had their trucks impounded. IT'S ILLEAGLE TO RIDE THERE.
I don't care "the other guys do it" tell that to the judge.
For now, get with the program and support the hobby or GTFO. We don't need vandals ruining what's left.

Mods,
I'm pissed at the blatent disregard of this kid. If my post is to strong, edit it as necessary.

Welcome to the forum Pat, I got booted from SJ so I have a new home now

I've been here awhile. Kinda lurk a lot. Gotta keep up with the "new tech" of the XJ's

Dude you don't have be so harsh on him. He was stuck and wanted some help. Yes it's illegal, and yes it makes things bad for people who want to be able to wheel in legal areas. But yelling at one "kid" isn't going to help. This community is a brotherhood of Jeepers, not a courtroom where you teach lessons and shun people because they don't know how they're hurting the off-road community.

I was nice in my first post on page one. Then I got a response of " I know better and everyone else does it"

That area has been wheeled as long as I've owned a truck. I can remember going there in the mid 80's and getting run out. Let's add the other areas that are off limits. The Mud Flats (RIP 316&85), Panola Mtn, Rock Chapel, the river on GA 20, Hurricane Shoals, Sweetwater...
If we don't start policing ourselves. The land owners and counties will do it for us. Right now it's ok to drive my Jeep on the street with 3' of lift and 35's.
With enough political pressure from land owners. The police can make my life miserable going to the mall. There are laws already on the books in GA that state a frame can not be adjusted up or down more than 2" from stock height.
All we as recreational wheelers need to do is piss off the wrong person and our trucks are grounded.

This is serious, and needs to be treated that way.
Like I said, go legal or go home.

this forum and this chapter really doesn't need another legal wheeling preacher, DAD. the o.p. is young, and just like we all have at some point, went down the wrong road and paid for it in being stuck. move on! quit stirrin' the pot.

Well if nothing else he's learned his lesson about asking for help here. :wow:

For real...I used to ride there back when I was a "know it all kid" and now I wouldn't touch the place because I know it's illegal and I know it puts a bad reputation on the off-road community. We all go down that road and we all learn from it. You're not going to be able to stop the kids from doing what we all did...it's just part of growing up. Lay off of him. I'm sure he has now realized that he shouldn't be there anymore. I know the police don't care if it's someones' first time there or hundreth time there but you have to hope that the young guys realize it only hurts our community when they do stuff like that and they pass on the word to their buddies if they truely care about the sport.

sorry kid wait im a kid too one of the places i used to go got shut down someone was killed a few months ago there IDK if they will ever allow it to open again, and just like that power lines everyone loves them but it only takes one. and she wasnt wheeling she got hi jacked and ....... thats about all they printed just be careful and reaponsible my dad always told me being responsible is being careful

Just for the record, I am well beyond 19, and I know that I do not know it all. That said, I realize going places that are illegal and vandalizing or tearing stuff up ruins the reputation of many. As I said in my prior post, I do not do that stupid stuff, if anything I would clean up after others and run off those I caught trashing these places. I do tread lightly and keep to the well established paths and I make sure to clean up after myself.

Today I spoke with a Srgt. from GCPD and was told you are legally required to get written permission from the land owner; he said GA Power would not grant it to anyone. He knows the place I was at and said that as long as people are not out there doing drugs or vadalizing GCPD don't mind us being there. He told me that if they catch you they will ask what you were doing and possibly tell you to leave.

I am perfectly aware of the fight for Tellico, and I am against those trying to shut it down, however that is slightly different. That fight is not over people wheeling on private or corporate property. The fight is over water and environmental damage. I also think this is a load of crap. The sediment that is getting into the river has been getting there for many years and will continue to do so through natural causes.

One last thing. NeverMonday, I do appreciate your concern for the rights of wheelers, but like I said, I was not hurting anything. I was just enjoying myself. Hopefully there are no hard feelings.

 

[whiterider13]

Are there any places in north/central GA to wheel, other than the couple of ORV parks, that I could go without making waves. I am relatively new to GA and I don't know of any places other than paths I pass by while driving and I would like to keep the peace.

 

[never monday]

Heres a list of the known legal places around. Just consider what your doing in any other areas. Even though the fight for Tellico is about other things. We need to keep ourselves out of trouble. The "other side" has the press with them and against the " drunken redneck 4 wheelers".

I question the fact you posted that GP Owners "ALL" the power lines. Over here they have an "agreement" with said land owner. Most of the "agreements" are letters of consent for the power company to put up lines or for permission to put up a poll. The only way to know for sure is to go to the tax office. Secondly be a little more tactful in the future guys. I know of several lines that are patrolled for kids on 4 wheelers but the more mature wheelers are just asked to help keep things under control. Maybe that is because I'm in a much more rural area, personally I steer clear of areas I question. In SC it is only trespassing if it is posted on said property. Every state is different it would be advisable to check your local regulations. That being said I'm closing this in hopes that it will die and be forgotten. eace:
