[QUOTE="Neal3000, post: 203813, member: 742"] i think your on the right track with this. Best i can tell from reading this, In Alabama if people are using non-commerical land for recreational purposes then they don't really have any rights to sue the landowners if they are injured etc. [url=http://www.americanwhitewater.org/resources/repository/Alabama_Recreational_Use_Statute.htm]http://www.americanwhitewater.org/resources/repository/Alabama_Recreational_Use_Statute.htm[/url] In Rock climbing there are a lot of the same issues as we have in offroading- finding legal places to enjoy our dangerous sports at. They formed up a group called the Southeast Climbing Coalition who's primary purpose is to buy peices of property where climbing has been banned, and then through donations and fundraisers pays it off and then make it open to the public. I know in the past 5 years or so they have bought and paid for at least 3 properties in Georgia (Boatrock) and Alabama (Steele and Jamestown) and now they are open free to the public. What really needs to be done is for us to form a similar organization and start doing the same thing or we are going to run out of places to play at. I firmly believe that the 4x4 community could raise 200k in tax deductible donations and fundraisers in NO time. [/QUOTE]
