Don't know, but I doubt it. This is the Alley entrance.

jrpro130 · May 22, 2007, 03:08:39 AM

Any updates? I want to ride around there on wednesday (with 4x4matt). Last I heard, just the north side is open...south side is closed.

Can anyone advise?

crom A zone · May 23, 2007, 07:26:32 AM

no prob be more tha happy to u wanna come and ride?

JackL · May 23, 2007, 08:20:09 AM

I wish I could!!

My next ride will probably be this weekend unless something really cool happens before then....I'm not sure where at this point though, but it might be the south side of the Alley and you guys are more than welcome to check it out with us if you want. Great riding out there! As good if not better than the HL's.

I hope you find the north side open. It should be just right at this point. Have a good ride.

The north side of the Holeylands. It is located on the WPB/Broward border on US 27 about 6 miles west. They have a big sign, it is hard to miss.

It will be on your right when you are approaching the parking lot area from 27 after the bridge.

hondarider450r · May 23, 2007, 10:20:42 AM

so all of the north side of holyland is open. but i thought the fwc was blocking the road to get in holylands

We will know for sure what the deal is when Matt gets back later today. I can't believe they would be stopping people from fishing there unless it was on fire, and FWC is scarce during the week, so if their isn't any signs saying otherwise I would guess all is good.

I wouldn't mind running the north side down by the pumphouse, lots of shade there and plenty of muck to keep it real.

hondarider450r · May 23, 2007, 10:37:00 AM

yea i wouldnt mind eighter. but i am going to call dannie at fwc today and her wats going on.

JackL · May 23, 2007, 11:01:26 AM

Now that is a good idea. I'm glad they closed it though, or I might have never found the newest spot off the south side of the Alley.

Thanks again Illegal!

hondarider450r · May 23, 2007, 11:05:26 AM

talked to dani holey lands still closed still to dry north and south.

38.5 south side.

Thrumud is putting together a group ride there in the coming weeks. I hope to have run it at least one more time before that. I'll post it in 'where to ride' when it is happening, everyone is welcome as well, but it will be short notice as always.

Well, me and matt went out there to ride. It had closed signs posted on both the sides.

We spoke with a really nice FWC Officer, who informed us it was closed until further notice. He said he doesn't know when it will re-open but as of now it is fully illigal to ride there. They even closed down the levy, no access whatsoever. The biologists say that it is way way too dry for anyone to be out there for fear of fires. Also, they are getting aggrivated with everyone "tearing it up"

So, it's closed. Probably for a long long time is my guess. Whenever the biologists feel it is safe to go out there. Then we have another problem!!! High water!!! It will probably be high water in a couple months and it will close down b/c of that. The deer like to go to high land of course, so they come up on the levy. He said it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

As far as macs, we went out there, not much for 2wd to do. Chrome wasn't so bad, just REAL wet, we got quite muddy, but it was a blast.

I want to check out this place on the Alley. Maybe we will go tommorow, how is it for 2wd?

JackL · May 24, 2007, 07:46:16 AM

The Holeylands is definitely a seasonal place, and you are right about the high water problem, that is next. I hope we get a small window in there to play before it is totally flooded.

As far as 38.5, if you didn't like Macks you really won't like this. You will want a 4x4 around for sure, but it is pretty close so no harm in checking it out.

Looks like 8th/157th is in all our cards for a while..

hondarider450r · May 24, 2007, 09:38:11 AM

HOW WOULD I GET TO 8TH/157TH I AM IN MIRAMAR?

jrpro130 · May 24, 2007, 10:25:00 AM

10-4 Jack.

We are heading to chrome tonight if anyone wants to come. Be there around 4ish
