This might be the place U're talking about!
If it is.....Someone warn the riders that went there ..to stay away from the area for the next couple of mths...Because of Hunting Season!






1) Rancheo/Zhills

A)Direction>Take I 75 North to SR 54 and head East. Go to the 6th stop light...there will be a Home Depot on the left. Turn left. Follow that road till you cross 301..there is a Wal Greens on the corner of 54 and 301. Keep heading East on 54. IF THE ROAD IS CLOSED FOLLOW THE DETOUR SIGNS. If you have to follow the detour then turn left onto 54. If you do not have to follow the detour keep heading straight on 54 (it is actually called Old 54) it is several miles down on the right. You will pass a welding place then a few houses. Once you see a sign for Caroll Street it within a hundred feet. It is a dirt road on the right and there is also a sign for 98 2 miles. If you hit 98 then turn around and go back 2 miles and now the dirt road will be on the left. There is parking all along the dirt road. If possible we will park in the front...which is about 20ft off of the main dirt road on the right.

I have been very curious about Rancho myself. The things I have heard about it are all over the board (No pun intended). Some say the cops police it hard. Others say its safe and hassle free with no cops. But then some also say it is dangerous from locals causing trouble like violence/stealing. With it being hunting season I am going to set my curiousities aside until Feb. The last thing I need is to piss off a hunter with my loud White Bros pipe.

Wise choice. I have had issues with local hunters while ridding trails near my house here in Brooksville. I wasn't aware of a hunting camp that I was nearby.
I had the game warden involved in hot pursuit.
