We love La Grange. It’s been a huge part of our lives over the years where we have taught many how to ride various off-road vehicles and direct bikes over the years. It’s mainly a go to place for our annual trips to let our grandkids break free after a long school year. Lots of family memories there.

But our last few visits have been worrisome to say the least. Trust we get that being our hear comes with some risks and dangers, we’ve been doing this long enough to know part of having fun - means breaking lose and sometimes getting hurt (see pics), but…there’s definitely a difference between fun and obnoxiously reckless.

More careless groups are frequently visiting, driving intoxicated, and allowing their teenagers to whip through wildly and speeding through campsites where small children are playing. There’s even been teenagers double-riding with tiny toddlers hanging on the back, racing, jumping. Spinning donuts in the children’s track area.

Our last visit just over a month or so ago, on a stickfest event day, a young girl came flying up a two -way hill (where the top is a blind spot), and slammed straight into the front of another teenagers truck!!!

At night, wheneveveryone left two guys came pulling into our campsite at 1 am in he morning with an empty trailer right nectvyo our bikes with their lights off. Luckily I scared em off turning on the RV exterior lights.

Sadly, it’s not been like a place for family camping and enjoyment much and more. People are getting wind that it’s a “do-as-you-please,” off-roading area. Nobody overseeing. Not safe- especially for small children.

We're taking a break for awhile. We've moved to another spot last week. It's a two hour drive, but wow! It was like off-roading utopia!

We will miss you La Grange. Thank you for many great memories.
