Is that just in a ditch? or is it some kinda of trail.

[ACAT]

It's just in the ditch along a county road. They have them at every mile corner. Actually they have 4, one in each corner of the intersection. I wonder how much that cost the county? As I understand it the ajacent land owner can request the ditch be posted.

What a pile of sh!t.  At least they can't stop us from riding on the rode through there if your ATV has a license.

"techniocally" if its licensed you should be able to ride in the right of way since its not an "off road vehicle" anymore.

That's true.  If they have the right to post signs that we can't use the right of way that we pay taxes on, then can't we put a damn roadblock across their driveway?

You can't put a roadblock on there driveway because they own it.  There is or there used to be a state law that said you could ride off-road vehicles in the ditch.  License your ATV and drive on the road, and show respect for the land that you are riding on and everybody gets along.
