Wayne National Forest Ride Pictures
The weekend of Nov 17 we went to the Wayne to ride. The weather was very good for riding, about 50 or so.
This picture is me riding through some fairly deep water.

Wayne National Forest ATV Trails
Since this blog was made to talk mostly about ATV riding, I will talk about it.
Wayne National Forest is raising the fees on many of the recreation activities at the forest, including ATV riding. Currently it is $5.00 a day to ride and a season pass costs $25.oo, a bargain I think. The new fee, starting Jan 1, 2008, will be $12.oo a day, $45.oo for a season pass and $24.00 for a three day pass. It is currently $10.00 for a two day pass, and it will be no longer available. So I guess if you will be riding for two days, you will buy the three day pass, which will be like getting one day "free" which I imagine a lot of people won't be able to use the 3rd day anyway.
Overall, I am fine with paying to ride, as long as the money is used for upkeep of the trails and stays in the Wayne. But raising the day rate from $5 to $12? I know that it hasn't been raised for 10 years, but it probably would have been better to raise it $1 or so every other year.
Anyway, I will probably still go, since I only make it once or so a year anyway. I just hope that they use this money wisely. Last time I was there, the trails were pretty good, but a few years ago they were nothing but deep ruts full of muddy water, with some of the trails impassable even with a 4X4.
