Post by: Thrumud on August 21, 2006, 04:28:14 PM
Do you know of anyone that owns 500 + acres ?   In Florida.

The land must be 2 to 3 miles away from residential homes.

There isn't a lack of MX tracks.  The problem is finding a place where everyone can enjoy.  Like areas with trails, hills etc. Not everyone is a MX'er.  

I met Friday with a former Collier county official that proposed a site perfect for a MX track.  It's about 275 acres with 2 huge hills and an area perfect for a track. It used to be a solid waste landfill which the county has no use for.  We will be meeting in a few weeks.  I will post if it becomes official.

It's not official and I don't want to promise anything at the moment.  Possible "private" OHV park.

Keep us filled in on the dump being turned to a track, sounds like it'd be great with the elevation changes and everything.

Thanks Loven, appreciate it.  I also know that Rinker and Florida Rock owns a lot of land.  I'll try to find out if they have a surplus of land.

thrumud,

You know our favorite folks, WMD, have land all over the place that they lease out, the bulk of it is leased out as cattle leases. I know they had 2 300-400 acre sites here in St. lucie County, they had been trying to lease. I know they leased a 4000 acre site in Martin County as a cattle lease.
