I do volunteer and I participate in legislative activities to preserve OHV user rights. Here's your chance to do the same. There's a meeting scheduled with the Md. Dept. of natural resources on March 23, 2011 from 7 PM until 9 PM. The meeting will be held within the Natural Resource Police conference room at Gwynnbrook WMA, 3738 Gwynnbrook Avenue, Owings Mill, Maryland 21117.
Awesome thank you for posting that info. Hopefully others will see that meeting posted here and attend. Also thank you for doing what you can to try and keep the trails open. If you or your club you belong to have a volunteer clean up day or trail maintence day at GreenRidge please post those dates and times here. So you can get people out there to help. Thanks.
Google Magicalliance. Go to their website and check out their Fall 2009 newsletter. You'll see that the greenies have linked your video to their document specifically directed at shutting down the Green Ridge trails. So what you're able to do legally now may soon become illegal for all of us. I'd be appalled and ashamed if a video that I posted was instrumental in closing down a riding/rec area.
@137whoa I'm not taking it down what they implied in there news letter about my brother and I was wrong I send them a letter asking them to disable that link in there news letter. I hope everyone goes to Green Ridge and enjoys the forest. This is a great place for first time Off Road enthusiast who follow the rules and I hope it remains to be. I encourage everyone to contact your local state Rep and let them know you want the ORV trail at Greenridge to stay open. Volunteer your time even.
This was a real dumbass video to post up, especially when you list where you're at. You've given the greenies and enviros more ammo in their fight to shutdown ORV activity.
Check the Magic Alliance website. They've used your video in their attack on ORV activity.
I'm sorry you feel that way but the fact is everything in this video is legal. The water crossing happens on a road and not an ORV trail. People have to cross the creek to get to their cabins and houses. I post the location of this video because I want others to know where they can legally drive there Jeeps and Trucks off road. I don't want idiots going out there driving places they shouldn't be, that causes people to hate Off road vehicles even more and trails to get shut down.
I know of more Off road Clubs that have event's to clean up the woods and take great care to tread lightly. The fact is people don't remember that stuff what they remember is the idiot out there tearing up the forest drving off trails breaking beer bottles and littering. I think people should drive responsibly and clean up after themselves. But Greenridge is a great place for outdoor activites such as camping mountain biking hiking fishing hunting ORVing. Maryland has great state parks.
Lastly You've got to provide me a link to where they have used my video because I've checked there website and I've yet to find my video on it any where. It sucks they want to shut the trail down. Its a bad Idea not everyone can afford to of to a private ORV park like they suggest building. I know I couldn't.

Cool vid, good crossings. Do you have a snorkel yet? Before that, after the first time hydrolocking and having to pull spark plugs in waist-deep water I vowed to never cross again unless I had a snorkel. I miss having one on my last rig - if nothing else it made for good piece of mind when splashing around, except for that one time that I went into the drink with it disconnected from the air box....
Seems like a cool place, I haven't owned a Wrangler long and I live in MD so I'm looking for places to test it out. This and Assateague seem like the only places to go within the state.
So I went to green ridge and did the lower town creek crossing, and you were right - some creepy dude wearing nothing but jean shorts just came walking down the creek out of nowhere and stared at us. Nobody said anything but loud music started playing from a house as soon as we stopped. I can see why they don't like people coming through, it's really secluded and out of the way, not really a "tourist destination" or anything. Plus my friend got a flat tire while crossing.
Yeah I really think it depends on who you happen to run in to. The one day we ran across these two guys sitting in the creek drink beer. They waived and seemed friendly enough. The problem is other people probably pissed the locals off and now they just don't like anyone being their. That sucks about the flat tire was there anything stuck in it or did you just hit a rock wrong.
He was running stock GSAs and apparently they have thin sidewalls. I've got 3 ply MT claws and the other guy had 3 ply BFGs so no problems there. I guess there were sharp rocks under water, no nails or any kind of traps or anything lol.
Its on lower town Creek Road. YOu can find the road on Map you buy at the park office. Some parts of the road are off park land and the local people weren't to happy we were there.
i was there last weekend. Those crossings were fozen over lol. Anyway, how did you get the feeling locals didnt really like you guys there? my brother and i go wheeln too, im 19, hes 15. We should meet out there sometime. ?I dont know many people to wheel with.
Well at the last water crossing in the road there were some guys there from the top of the hill from a summer cabin or somthing. That stoped us and said what are you doing here we don't want you here.

Then that's ridiculous, I'd like to tell those guys to shove it. Are all these crossings on the same road/trail? And how hard are they to find?
