Truthfully, the whole Southeast is OFF ROAD FRIENDLY, except Florida.  Florida's problem is development and it's victim friendly legal system.  I grew up there surfing, I love the state, but there are those who look at the state as a cash cow and that's what they're developing.  I'm a capitalist, too.  When there's as much money in dirt riding as real estate, or when someone starts the movement, you'll see a change.  That doesn't mean saying "Get behind me" in a website post.  That means taking meaningful, outward action.

Here in Alabama, much of the riding is on private land.  Motocross and offroad parks are common enough.  We also have several areas under the US Forestry Service that are kept up by local clubs.  That's the key.  Locally, there are organizations like the Cheaha Trail Riders that promote responsible operation of two wheel and four wheel equipment.  They are very active in maintaining Kentuck ORV area and opening Minooka Park ORV.  Someone in PBC has got own some land be willing to lease it.  A group with enough arse behind it should be able to get the ball rolling.  One thing I have noticed growing up a surfer in Florida, is that people would litter the side of the highway rather than pay $2.00 to surf Sebastian Inlet.  If it is that important, it is going to cost something other than words.  I think the deputy would agree.  By the way, we do have other things to do here but my brother from the Acreage tells me he would have sold his YZ if he didn't have the hope of riding up here.
