Joel, funny you mention that place. I used to live across 96th street from it (in Benchmark apts). I was there just before they put the Monon in (1996-ish), and I used to go back there on my mountain bike... In one summer I lost 45lbs! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Then I quit smoking and gained it and more back... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> (quitters never win!)

It's illegal now to go back there, from the last I heard. Too many complaints from the locals that live near it, and there is a new apartment complex at the entrance. The last time I went down Monon they even had 5 foot fences blocking all ways in, not that it stopped me on my bike!

I helped a guy out of a mud pit one time. Then to my surprise, one summer later, he got stuck again. I have no idea who he was, I just happened to be back there both times. Serves him right for driving a jeep.
