Sorry to hear about your riding area. Come to Hatfield-McCoy Trails in West Virginia - 400 miles of trails, easy, more difficult and extreme.

I guess we will call Beumont home since we have no other place to go. I guess we are going to have to make some serious road trips to go riding .

It sounded like they intended to open Little Tiger back up, or they would have never been hiring a contractor to fix the trails. Bethel closing didn't hurt my feelings as far as having a place to ride, since I didn't like it, but I hate to see it as a step towards closing them all. The closings are not a US Forestry national thing, but more of a local thing. There are many trails open throughout the forestry lands, but it appears that the local districts of the US Forestry aren't too concerned about ATV Trails. The Kentucky ORV trails in Talledega the Forestry Service should run an ATV trail. I believe Rodney will be making a trip there and can tell us all about it.

Alright guys this means war! We have all spent tons of money on our quads and what does the local forest service have to say to that. TRAILS CLOSED. I have talked to everyone in our club and they dont have a problem with merging and expanding so here goes everything. If your interested in joining the fight to keep the trails open send me an email with Name, phone number, email, address and I'll add you to my list of people behind us. My email is rodneyfaganjr@hotmail.com I would like to call a meeting to order on the 19th of July. There is a place in Quitman that will allow us to hold the meeting without charge, but if anyone else knows of another place around Hattiesburg or Laurel that will host our meeting then that would be great as well so you guys don't have to drive as far. Just let me know as soon as possible because I have people that could be comming from all over Mississippi and need to be able to give them directions. If you have anywhere in mind then just email me with a phone number and the name of the place so I can contact them for good directions. At the meeting we will need to discuss the name change, and also some actions as to what we should do about all the trails being closed. I will start to contact people as soon as I get a response from some of you saying that the 19th is an ok date. Look forward to hearing from everyone and maybe working with all of you.

How many people are you wanting to hold? We have a large confrance room at work that I am sure we can use. Its in Heidleburg, so it might be a little drive for some people but its free.

Hey guys, smells like we're cooking now! Rodney, your plan sounds good to me. You have
a good crew and are organized well. I think everyone would be honored to hook up with you guys. Especially since you have done most of the hard work. The 19th at Quitman works for
me. Let us know if you need anything. Maybe we can get Smitty to run over some pines for the entertainment. Sorry Smitty. Let us know what time and where, we will be there.

If we stay on them they may get it done as far as Rattle snake bay goes they tell people they don't know when it will reopen rumor has it they may no t open it back up as far as Bethel goes Idon't know anything about it yet.

The guy trying to climb that bluff on Saturday gave us a lot of entertainment. And I quickly saw the reason he had a toothless smile.
