Yesterday a group of us were at Shredder to do a night run. Sergio and I were waiting for the rest of the group to show when two Sheriffs deputies rode up on dirt bikes. They were citing everyone that was out there in the area for trespassing, registration violations, etc. Apparently the local authorities are starting to enforce a no trespassing policy in the area, and according to the deputy I spoke to, it is illegal to drive your off road vehicle anywhere in the area around Lake Los Angeles, Palmdale and surrounding areas, with the exception of the OHV area at the Littlerock dam. They are enforcing this with enthusiasm; one of the deputies took off after a couple of motor cycles while we were talking.
After explaining to the deputy about the old Shred-fest events and the fact that we have been wheeling in Shredder Canyon for years, he called a local deputy that has more experience in the area. THe deputy recommended that we contact the owner of the property for permission to drive Shredder in the future. He said that if they catch any one out there again that does not have written permission from the land owner, they will be cited.
I want to say that these two deputies were extremely cool, and very respectful of us. They hung around and listened to the stories I had of running shredder. We talked about cleaning up the area and they were very impressed when I told them about all the volunteers that MJR has.
So, I've given you the information the deputies asked me to pass on. Do with it what should be done.
