Was it something I said? -Sorry if I delrailed the thread...

The crazy thing is -"Amelia" was the greatest place to ride ATC/ATV etc. (in the 70s & 80s -this was before it was a "park"). And before the Gratigny Xpressway was built. That huge lake in the back wasnt even there. There was MUCH more trails than what you see now. Those "bike trails" (whats left of them) were initially all ATV trails.
No -it wasnt legal -but was a VERY popular place. That place had it all. I still live seconds away and it still hurts to not ride there to this day. - It was really the greatest place for riding ever/anywhere. It doesnt even resemble what it looked like then. Almost all the pines were cut down to plant other crap. Just thought I'd share....

)))))))crickets(((((((
everyone sold there sport quads already?

Went by Sat. lookin 4 a place to try out/tune -no one around....kept goin. i miss 41st.

Im also in Hialeah. Lookin to ride again too.- Ever since the signs went up at 41st -I havent ridden. Sold my muddin ATC 185s but have my ATC 250R still....gonna have to get it registered tho before I ever take it out again. I dont want to lose it (-if it gets impounded.) -But not sure where to go anymore now...
No holeylands,41st,Rinker, 8th & 137th,Lost Lake,& -I havent been way south in years...Would like to get out again. Time to head way north I guess is all......

I will say that it was the one and only place to go back in the 70s 80s 90s-Grant really knew his sh*t. Hes OK but not the same guy he used to be....Dont expect great prices either. He also doesnt do repairs himself anymore- he may offer machining services-sent out to someone else. He is closed sunday and mondays and takes a few vacations here and there so always call 1st. He does stock NEW parts -no used parts. If he has to order something -well, good luck! You probably wont recieve it for a while. He waits till he has a large order sometimes. He will get you going again in a pinch otherwise...I rather just buy ebay nowadays- customer loyalty is something he expects tho.-I dont miss driving over there tho -Ill order online and save $$$ and gas. (Sorry Grant)

Uh- yes it is. Rode there for many,many years without seeing a FWC or police. Never had any problems until about a year ago. Drag racers on the road, racing past the jail, littering, lots & lots of stolen vehicles, discharging of all kinds of weapons is what messed it up in my opinion. Plain lack of respect & total ignorance of many careless youths. Unfortunately, you are trespassing anywhere you ride here nowadays.-face it.

Yeah -I've been there many many times over the years. I've also looked for info many times and never found any records of it. I've only heard that supposedly it went down with alot of cargo after trying to circle back to MIA due to emergency but didnt make it. It was more than likely swamped in that area at the time.-Not sure how many where on board -pretty sure most died. Some of the plane has been taken away for scrap by some people over the years. Hard to reach most of the time (sometimes for years at a time) due to water levels that vary out there. Thats probably why all that debris wasnt removed at the time because of the soft ground/water/mud. Sadly, The whole area is closed off now pretty much. Wish I knew more......
