Arie Crowne Woods

I'm headed there this evening though I know it'll be hit or miss. Does anyone know of any good cruising spots in the area I could check out on the 'miss' days?

Thinking about heading out there around noon or so. Any young guys wanna meet?

yeah. whenever I have gone not much to choose from and even going for a walk I have literally had to outrun or outsmart chasers whom dont care if ur not interested. I'd rather meet people from on here there

FYI the woods are open - I drove past a few days ago and it was slim pickings (prolly cuz no one is aware these are open yet) and again - ALL older over 40s. Like BillyBoy said - its mostly the older crowd now for some reason. Prolly cuz the young ones have been scared away. Everytime I go, I get followed even though I indicate I'm not interested - and when I find someone I like - I always get an audience of 2 or 3 bears. Honestly, if you aren't asked to join and if poeple stop playing when you arrive - GO AWAY.

LOL its a waste of time to even bother if you ask me. Just a bunch of nursing home runaways

sounds like YOU were there the second it got nice out....DUH

careful, saw cops patrolling area!

This place is closed for the winter. The front parking lot is open, but you can't get into the actual cruisy area. Go north on La Grange a little bit to the other forest, that's open. That place gets really cruisy during the lunch hour and on weekends.

Bimalechicago87 at Y,, ah hoo . comm

I'm swinging by Saturday morning - 10ish. anyone?

I'll try to be there in the afternoon

i'll be there tomorrow late afternoon. thought, with me being the only one to post in the last month, i'm wondering if anyone else from here will be there! if so let me know.

will probably be there tomorrow

anyone going Sunday.. afternoon maybe? Message me

studfuck8x6, you are VERY lucky. The state statute is clear - any law enforcement officer can ask you for identification at any time for whatever reason. They do NOT need probable cause. If you drive your car onto a public tax funded property, they can ask you for registeration without probable cause. Refusing to do so can result in arrest until you produce a legal identificaiton such as a drivers license, birth certificate (not a copy either) or a passport.

I visited Arie Crown Woods Labor Day 2008 in the early afternoon. I, too, was acosted by - ooops, harrassed by - oooops, stopped by one of Todd Stroger's minions... a Cook County Forest Preserve Officer. He called it a "roadside safety check". And just for the record, he didn't have any issues with all the open alcohol floating around all the picnics.

Hey all - just wanted to say be a little careful here. I stopped by yesterday and there were two cops - the County Sherriff and the forest preserve police - right at the entrance to the woods stopping all cars going in and "questioning" them. When I pulled up they said they were "roadside complaint" and wanted to know why I was in the woods and wanted to see my license and registration. I flat out refused, saying the woods were public and I was there for a jog (I always bring shoes and shorts just in case as a cover) - and said that unless a "complaint" had been registered against me or I was bring pulled over for something illegal I had no reason to hand over my identifying info. They didn;t like that much but had no choice but to let me in. Anyways - perhaps it was because it was labor day and they were being altert and on patrol but just keep an eye out guys.

might go today. anyone interested?
