We drove in from Far Hills on the east and stopped at the cement wash. Didn’t see signs on the road we went in on but saw some further in. Such a shame that the developers are taking over all that beautiful land. The view is amazing so money talks, I get it. But sad to see it’s no longer usable for off road adventures to enjoy the outdoors. We were not stopped by anyone. And we’re hoping to go the whole La Madre trail during the day some day.

We ran into B.L.M stating there’s no trespassing posted everywhere and today is just a warning, although they took out names in system and left warning stickers on our trucks. It’s a shame there’s 20 dirt bikes out there and us 3 get the haggle and told not to come back when it’s been a beloved place to ride, to eventually to be shut down by builders. Didn’t talk to him as much as I should’ve because this la madre begins where “we can’t park”
