June 9th Game - Ptobego Marsh

[shrek]

Okay - I know this isn't exactly South and East, but all are welcome to the north woods for a good game, I've been to plenty down there and I'd like to reciprocate in kind.

June 9th (Saturday), 12:00 NOON, Ptobego Marsh and Natural Area, off of US-31 South of Elk Rapids, MI. (20 minutes out of Traverse City, MI)

This is a scheduled event and we have 7 guys in on it so far, since we decided on it this morning. I'd like to see you guys come up and have a great time, this is a very neat area with awesome terrain.

Who owns this here field?

[Knief]

It's state owned land. Be sure to talk to the DNR about playing there before the game.

[shrek]

Well, when talking to the DNR as I've done before they have no say legally to tell you yay-or-nay about the use of the land - since it is public.

All of the times they're cool about it - but FYI kneif they can't tell you YES because they're not the landowners, and they can't tell you NO either.

[Ghast]

Um...It's public land meaning it's owned by the local government. Since the Department of Natural Resources is a government branch, yes they can say if you play and if you don't.

Either way, if you're seen brandishing a weapon in a public place, fake or not, that is illegal.

If you continue to play there, you're well on your way to drawing more negative attention to the sport.
