Hit the trail


That's my husband, John. We hit the highway to find a place to ride our ATV last weekend.

We got a map from the visitor's center and attempted to follow it, but in small print it said, "This map was designed to show general locations of OHV recreation sites in Oregon."

So, when we get stopped for riding illegally, my defense is, "I'm riding in the general location."

We had a great time, but I can't help but become irritated as we drove for miles and miles through public lands that we have to drive so far to ride.

We were the only people riding where we were - although we did see some people on our way out in a meadow. It was peaceful. I deal with people and traffic (yeah we have traffic in Hermiston) all week long, I don't want to deal with a bottleneck of ATVs at some destination riding area.

  2. Well if you don't know where to go. Ask the kids that go all the time! LOL They have a wonderful ATV park up out of Heppner. 25 miles south of Heppner. OR Go to Frazer camp ground out of Ukiah and you can ride up there. Not sure where you are at, but I bet ya, Cameron could give you a few good places.
