I dunno, they have rules for a reason and penalties to encourage folks
to follow those rules. Personally I think the littering fine is too low,
around here it's $200-500. And wheeling alone is just plain stupid.
I presume the recovery is a fee for those that get truly hosed and is
actually quite reasonable if you've ever called an off-road recovery
company. With the damn yahoos out there tearing up public lands it is
almost certain the rules will only get tougher. They shut down the public
ORV area down by Draper Lake because the friggin morons couldn't keep to the
trails and off of the watershed (off limits) areas. Even after they were
told and signs were posted. Bah! </rant>

One of the few legal places to 'wheel in PA/NJ area. It's cheaper if
you join through a "partner" club. Drop me an email and I'll send you
some info offline.

Re: Paragon Adventure Park
 

I agree there should be some rules and the land preserved.

Slade, Wind Rock, Tellico, Uwharrie, Jellico (just to name a few)... none of
them have those (Paragon) kind of rules, fees, and penalties.
