Regardless of the specific type of vehicles and individual group that is responsible for this behavior, its always good to remind everyone that you are required to slow down, move over and get out of their way. Not doing so can and does lead to accidents in many situations. With the Sturgis motorcycle rally starting this week roads will be more crowded than they are during any other time of the summer/year. Use your brains, have some respect and decency, and move out of their way as soon as safely possible. Another key note with the current traffic we are about to have, make sure you watch for bikes. Nobody wants to be responsible for causing a major accident, or getting in the way of an effective and timely response of one. Lets show them that not every off-roader behaves this way.

The Rochford Volunteer Fire Department is urging drivers to yield to sirens after a group of UTVs forced crews responding to an emergency, to drive into oncoming traffic on Saturday. Read more at the link in the comments.

We are unsure of how many pounds of nails for certain that we pulled out of the area where everybody drives. But it was a lot, please follow your local fire restrictions and please stop using pallets with nails.

Come on people, this is exactly how we lose our motorized areas.

The vault toilet at the Railroad Buttes OHV Area is temporarily closed. There has been trash disposed of down the toilet vault, creating damage that must be cleaned and repaired before it can reopen.
The facility will remain closed until it can be safely serviced and the garbage removed.
Please help us keep recreation sites open and clean by packing out all you bring in.
