So I follow this group on FB that does rides on the Kisatchie roads. They've got a huge map of them and people get together and go ride. Long rides. Not mudding. Cruising the dirt roads. Which if you read the rules you would think is perfectly legal and encouraged to enjoy the resource.
You would be wrong.

That happened in front of fifteen vehicles full of people before they rode out. It's starting to blow up because they basically just made up a charge and cost that guy $180 like they were doing him a favor. And the reason they singled him out was he was the one that set up the group page on FB which apparently turns him into a guide? But it wouldn't had they not had a FB page apparently and just used phones or snail mail or something.
Be careful on Kisatchie baws. You don't know the rules no matter what you think.

Forest Service rules can be frustrating to try and follow. Many are impossible to find out or just straight up tribal knowledge. Is that hump just a waterbar or an intentional barrier for that dirt road?
The Florida forests have gone to a special rule for dispersed camping that you have to be in a tent 100' from your car. Good luck finding that rule on their websites though.
Keep your area clean and say yessir nosir and hope the officer isn't having a bad day.

That's not acceptable. We can't have local bureaucrat potentates making the rules and not even posting them anywhere. That's bullshite.

Seems he received the attention he was seeking.

That guy was just enthusiastic about his new hobby and wanted to meet people that were too to do the thing he was enthusiastic about. That shouldn't be a crime.

At least he got to show off his new tires.

I don't have facebook, what was he busted for? What rule did they say he broke?

he said in his post he was ticketed for being in mud
I have a pretty different perspective on trail riders because of a career managing forestlands and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars over the last 25 years repairing and rebuilding road systems.
I don't think any of the regulations that the the officer told him they were violating are out of line. I'm also not surprised the government fails to provide those regulations in a way that makes them easy to learn and follow.

There are mudholes on these roads. You either go down the road as defined, or you're tearing up forest to make a new one to go around it. That definitely gets you a ticket. How do you propose someone not break the law here?

don't go riding when the roads are wet?
it sucks, i get it. I've also seen roads destroyed because small mud holes became spots that trail riders wallowed out over a weekend.

Where is that regulation exactly? The roads weren't wet btw. There's low spots with the inevitable mud sections. This is Louisiana. If you shut down all public lands when it rains here you'll never have them open.
Just an FYI, this is cranking up a lot of heat right now. Folks who have the power to make it right saw that and have reached out.

That would be good. Doesn't sound like they were really doing anything wrong for all intents and purposes. I'm all for law and order on public lands but not cherry picking people to make a point on ticky-tack BS.
Fwiw, my aunt worked in administration for the FS and said when they got a letterhead from a senator's office that it was one of the only things that got stuff moving.

A couple of years ago, I was breaking in my new .17 HMR, squirrel hunting down Twin Bridges Rd in Kisatchie. Parked on a power line. Came out to Ranger Bob inspecting my truck. Pointed out a bunch of freezer trash nearby and asked if I had dumped it. Then asked what I was shooting at, bc target shooting is illegal. Then gave me a $175 ticket for illegal parking. Couldn’t even fix it!
