THE ACREAGE — Two youths were injured after the ATV they were riding rolled over in a swale Wednesday evening, authorities said.

The accident happened around 6:30 p.m. at 12677 56th Place N, said Capt. Don DeLucia, spokesman for Palm Beach County Fire Rescue.

One of the two juveniles was not moving when paramedics arrived and was flown to St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach. The other was less seriously injured and was able to walk once paramedics arrived at the scene.

I believe it is: North 26 degrees 21 hours 2.59 minutes
                   West 81 degrees 31 hours 5.22 minutes

I dont about the degree symbol part

I was there saturday.. had a blast.. put some pictures up in the pics section... shows a buggy on it's side in the pond.. I had some riding pics up but they were deleted for no helmets I guess.. unlike the ones in this thread .. oh well... but yeah lots of fun plenty to ride in

Had a good time on saturday, not alot of people out but a few. 4-5 trucks and a couple big buggys to so, Pretty good day. I like to watch the trucks run and get to play so I'm glad some people brought their trucks out.
Well here are a couple pictures.

how do you get to C&R from WPB ?? Website says it's in Palmdale which I think is in glades county but the address says venus florida which shows in highlands county in Google earth. Is it just off of US27 ?? Easy to see signs from US27 as you can tell I've never been there before... I've been to Hendry county speedway off us27.. do I just keep going north form there

I am going next weekend.... never been but it seems cool.... can ride in the mud and you have some other stuff to watch like the mud and sand drags....

Is there any mud/water out there... I havent been a in a few months and it was getting pretty dry then... I would like go soon but dont want to ride in a dust bowl

I got gas in Macon,Ga on saturday @ sams's for $2.89 for regular... but everywhere else was about the same as fl $3.09

holeylands is closed unitl the water level comes back and the FWC biologists decide its ok to be in the area again. even with the rain we are getting it is very likely to be a while.

Everglades Area 2A north (the area south of the L5 Levy) is closed due to the fires. Holeylands ( north of the L5 Levy) is open and Rotenberger ( north of L5 and West of Miami Canal) is open. But the L5 levy itself is also closed so you have to access Holeylands and Rotenberger from the north entrance.

I heard on the news the person that reported it said they were riding and accidenty started the fire.. thats how they knew it was an atv...

Only has to be registered if you put any kind of motor on it (even trolling motors). Call FWC and tell them you need a vessel inspection and an officer will come out and inspect the boat (make sure it's not stolen) and give you all you need to go to DMV and register it.

Has anyone installed a High Lifter Clutch Kit on a Rancher AT?? Is it hard to do ?? Does it make any difference Thanks, Dave

I have mine insured through statefarm..along with my truck

I dont know where you are coming from but underhills in martin county is open... www.plantbamboo.com

Just started doing this a couple weeks ago... Didn't make it out this weekend... so I'll just have to wait til we can go out and ride it again..

Well I'll check all the vent lines tomorrow.. then it's going to underhills sunday so we'll see how she does.... If it keeps it up then he carb is coming off next week... thats the only thing left I can think of that maybe something it full of junk in there... Thanks for the help... I'll let ya know how it does

The bike is a 2002 Yamaha Kodiak 400 Automatic 4x4. I'm trying to figure out why this kodiak is bogging when it's under load, like in the mud. It runs fine otherwise. Starts sputtering and has NO power when it's under load in the mud. And I can get it to it in the drive way if I hold down the front brake and nail it in reverse. it spins the tires but sounds like it's missing really bad and sputtering. I just changed the oil,diff fluids, and spark plug. And cleaned out and re-oiled the air filter and it still isn't any better. The bike is completley 100% stock! Any suggestions ??

It's the road on the right cr714 about 20 ft before you enter okeechobee county. Maybe 15-20 minutes out of indiantown. I live off okeechobee and job in WPB and it usually takes me about 45 to get there. When do you plan on going ? I'm going out there Sunday if you want to follow someone..

Hey, going out to underhills for the weekend (fri-sun) Havent seen anyone posting anything about how it is out there lately. So how is it for those of you that have been going?? Just wondering how much mud and water to expect. Thanks.

F-L-O-R-I-D-A S-T-A-T-E FLORIDA STATE FLORIDA STATE FLORIDA STATE WWOOOOO !!!!!

I have the HMF on my Rancher AT 400. Definately notice the power gains immediately... pulls through the mud instead of bogging down and also alot easier to pick the front end up :-) It's alot louder and deeper toned. I would put the quiet core in depending on where I'm riding and that would help. But for stuff like underhills and l-cross theres no need to worry about noise.

Just for information Holeylands does NOT start at US27. That area is an STA (Storm Water Treatment Area) it is STA 3/4 I believe but not completely sure, I'll look that up.  That is owned by the SFWMD. Holeylands does not start until after the paved road where the levee splits. Holeyland,rotenberger, and the everglades area are completely owned and operated by the state (FWC). These pavilions being built are on the SFWMD property and should not affect holeyland other than you will pass them on your way out there. But they will bring more people closer to where the ATVer's are. Now mostly fisherman use the STA and when the season is open they have duck hunts on some of them. But if they put in walking trails and pavilions it will bring more of the general, non-hunting,non-fishing, non-riding, public to the area. Which could be good or bad, depends on how they percieve we act on the land. If they see people constantly getting hurt and trashing the land then, they will more than likely be against the atver's. More people means more public exposure, depends on how we act how the public will percieve us.

we are headed out there today !! See you all there !!!

Not this coming up weekend but maybe like 2 weeks from now... Saturday is my day to get stuff done that I dont have to work and Sunday is my wheeler play day :-)
