Last Known Status Closed
DESCRIPTION
This area is illegal and is now fenced off and gated. The area in question is private property, surrounded by more private property. Housing developments are creeping closer and there should be no open space left surrounding the area within a year or two. All you will find right now is a short debris ridden dirt road that leads to a locked gate. There are no trails here and no legal riding, and presumably there never was.
