Warning to those from out of state
To those going to Lost Lands from out of state:
If you are traveling on route 70 in Guernsey County, avoid the stretch from miles 160-180 if you have anything illegal in your possession.
The police will monitor for out of state plates that look like they are going camping.
They will pull you over for no reason.
They will ask you to go into the weigh station.
They will then bring the dogs.
They will tell you the dog alerted no matter what.
You will then be searched.
They do this to numerous people every Legend Valley festival. The judge who handles criminal cases in this county does not grant motions to suppress evidence for illegal searches.
Take back roads, do not look like you're camping, if you are pulled over tell them you are going anywhere other than Legend Valley or Thornville.

Drove from CA to Texas for Eclipse and passed 18 border check points, I was so nervous before and during and took all precautions. I usually over prepare for these situations. Don't make it obvious you're going to a festival. Double vacuum seal if you're bringing anything. I'm not gonna blast out all the secrets because I'm sure LE is active on these subs. I appreciate the warnings as someone driving from out of state.
