Thanks fx4.
We really got to be careful about giving out information to private lands on a public forum.
Especially right now with the quarry because of the incident a couple weeks back, the land owner is getting fed up and so are the locals.
Np buddy, it won't happen again.
I heard the police and fire department showed up about a month ago when a bunch of guys were down there having a fire. I think a lot of the people who walk their dogs there don't appreciate us taking our trucks down to the quarry even though everyone I've ever met is friendly and respectful
It only takes 1 or 2 people to screw everything up for everyone else...unfortunately this is how it goes now
I don't think it's anything new - it's just that the cities keep expanding and what was once remote bush is now next door to a bunch of houses and people who like to complain. It just means we have to go out further and find new spots away from the population centres. Still lots of bush left to explore!
Ya Fire and EMS were down there after about 30 trucks rolled in there and one guy in a Jeep tried backing up the wall for a poser shot and ended up falling over on his roof.
Driver was knocked unconscious and the passenger I think suffered 2 broken ribs.
Its a popular spot for the locals to go and swim, but because it's private land the owner doesn't want 30 rigs rolling up and doing stupid shit, it will eventually get closed down, which wrecks it for ALOT of people, not just off roaders. people hike, swim, ride horses etc. up there.
We just got to be smart about how we conduct ourselves when we are out, and keep trail heads / locations to private land locations to PMs.
I usually just park my truck and make the 10 minute walk down to the quarry. The ledges on the opposite side of where people drive in is a lot quieter, less busy and there's easier access in and out of the water for swimming.
I live about 2 km away from the quarry and go about 4 days a week in the summer if anyone ever wants to meet up for a beer, j and a swim
