Back in my quadding days (late 90) we use to go riding at a place in Van Meter, PA. I know a friend said he was there one time and a PSP Helicopter landed, wrote down everyone plate numbers down and said it was closed. I've driven back there a few time to see if you can get back in but the entrance is still blocked off. Looks like from Google Maps people still ride in there. I know it's not that big back there but it wouldn't be bad to play around or test things out. Just wondering knows anything.

Geez... did they put on sunglasses & hit 'em with the flashy-thingy-memory-messer-upper while they were at it?!?! :104: Oy... Seems kinda heavy-handed, for simple trespass on semi-public land. :075:

It was a great place to ride. If we didn't go there, we went to Webster behind the Red Caboose and would ride all day. Looks like locals still go back there also.

If the 'copter thing is anything like what happened at Hillsville a few years ago (people getting shot at and/or held up at gun point while on the trails) I could see it happening. Believe they had a couple 'copters out there looking for the suspects, which they did find.
